Page 74 of The Royal Beast & His Rising Queen

"Rana sa... why are you dodging my question?? Will you really marry someone too??", she asked, his way of dodging her questions created some kind of panic inside her... no, she is not ready to share her husband, no way... she would die before doing that, she thought.

"Of course not, what did I tell you?? I have only one wife, that is you, Isha Abhyansh Singh Ranawat, I would never marry anyone else, I don't need anyone beside you Rani sa, stop thinking all these stupid things... this is why I ask you to spend less time with your mother-in-law”, he said shocking her...

"Wait! how did you know it was ma who told me all this??", Isha asked and Abhyansh shook his head at his wife's innocence, who would tell her other than his mother, his grandmother wouldn't talk about all this while his father wouldn't even talk to her, Avyan doesn't know much about all this, their loyal servants won't talk about their family history either, so that leaves him only with one choice, his mother... knowing her husband's hatred to open his mouth and leave a few words, she left the hope of getting an answer and started talking herself... "Ma told me that your grandfather loved your eldest grandmother toomuch but she couldn't be able to give him kids, so he had to marry again, and even she couldn't give children to him so he left the hope, that's when he met Rajmata and fell in love with her marrying her...", Isha told everything her mother-in-law told and Abhyansh nodded, there are more details in the story but Abhyansh didn't want to share it with his wife right now, well for one, he hates talking, and if he is actually having a conversation with his wife, he would prefer talking to her about their marriage rather than discussing his grandfather and his 3 wives.

"Will you marry again if I am unable to bear your children??", she suddenly asked and his eyes turned red with anger...

"Isha...it's not funny anymore", he said in a no-nonsense tone and she for a second got scared...

"Sorry, but I was serious...", she said and that made him furious... he turned her to him pulling her into a harsh kiss biting her lips till they bled, and slowly sucked there to soothe the pain... he slowly left her lips sensing her struggle for oxygen...

"My children will have you, only you as their mother... if that's not possible, then I don't need children...", he said shocking her, and himself too... he believed strongly in carrying on the lineage. Though women disgusted him, he is not against marriage, he wanted to marry but only for children. He is completely against the 'No Children policy' the parents are having these days; he even created many reforms for his people to help them raise their children so that no one thinks of remaining childless because of financial burdens. But now his love for his wife changed everything.

"Rana sa...I love you", she said kissing him... his words overwhelmed her... was he the same husband who even hated the sight of her?? All her earlier doubts flew seeing his love,it's not possible to completely forget his torture but his love is equally immense and she is sure that love alone has the power to undo all his doings...

He slowly broke the kiss as he didn't want to hurt her again, already her lips are swollen and he slowly rubbed his thumb over her cut making her wince...

"Sorry...", he said caressing her cut with his thumb but she shook her head placing her lips on his again, asking him to caress it with his lips instead which he gladly did...

"Don't say that again, we need children, well I want children... at least 2...", she said breaking the kiss and amusing him...

"Only two?? I want at least 6", he said shocking her...

"Six??, Rana sa... um... okay, I'll see what I can do", she said innocently making him break into laughter at her words... she frowned looking at his very rare laughter, now why did he laugh??

"Your innocence will be the death of me...", he muttered joining their foreheads...

"Okay now, will you tell me what is it that upset you??", he asked seriously and she knew she couldn't escape it any longer...

"I'll tell you, but don't get angry or upset, okay??", she asked and he nodded... "um... it's just that I remembered some past where you... um...", she hesitated...

"What is it Rani sa??", he asked

"Where you called me that word, and said you would never touch me, because I disgust you", she completed the sentence closing her eyes... a cold shiver ran through his spine at the memory of his cruel deed, that moment, when he uttered those words, he saw how his wife had that 'broken' look on her face and how her pain and distress gave him sick pleasure, now even the memory of it made him feel punching himself in the gut until he collapses...

"Isha,will you believe me if I tell you that I didn't mean those words??", he asked hopefully, and to his surprise his wife nodded...

"Why would I not believe you??", she said cupping his cheek, and he hugged her to his chest at the love and trust his wife had on him... he didn't understand how can she love him so much despite all the things he did to her...

"I didn't mean to say those, you didn't disgust me... I tried to hate you but couldn't...", he said, she wanted to ask him the reason for his hatred but decided against it, she wanted to give him more time... he understood the questions in her eyes but couldn't answer them... not now...

"I always wanted to ask you, why you called me that, when I'm nothing like that, but now I won't ask you anymore...since you told me you didn't mean it, let's forget it hm?? I'm sorry I even brought that up... I didn't want to...", she said, he shook his head...

"It's good that you brought it up, or rather I forced it out of you, see we cleared things out and we are relieved, don't hesitate to talk to me Isha... you can say anything... I'm here to listen okay??", he said and she nodded leaning on his chest...

"Rana sa... I want to ask you something...", she said hesitating whether she could ask him or not...

"What did I tell you just now??", he asked and she huffed at her husband's lack of patience but still he tries to be patient with her...

"I want to invite Vikram and Aryan to stay here till bhai returns, it's getting difficult for Vikram to handle Aryan alone in Rajput palace, he didn't tell me but I know", she said, Abhyansh wanted to say she didn't have to ask about inviting people to her own palace but Vikram's name soured his mood...

"He is the one who handles the kid alone in London, so I don't think it would be a problem", he said and Isha frowned...

"That's in London, handling Aryan the whole day, in Rajput palace is not an easy task Rana sa... he used to get busy with school and homework in London but now the whole day, Aryan is irritating Vikram not letting him do office work", Isha said and Abhyansh groaned... "fine, I got your answer...", she said getting up from his lap but he pulled her to him again...

"Where is my soft wife today?? You are so grumpy", Abhyansh said and Isha glared at him... "fine, fine... you can invite them, you don't have to ask, it's your palace, this is your home more than Rajput palace, the sooner you accept it the better", he ordered kissing her neck and she nodded tilting her neck giving him better access...

"Okay, I'll call him, do your work, I won't disturb you anymore", she said getting up excitedly making him frown...
