Page 76 of The Royal Beast & His Rising Queen

"Ishu... I never properly apologized to you for that night... I'm so sorry, only if I had...", Vikram trailed...

"Let's not talk about it... please, I am sorry that because of me, Kaku sa did all that to you", Isha said and Vikram shook his head...

"Don't be silly, we are family, I didn't mind any of it... if I regret anything then it's that night... ", he started but seeing Isha getting up not wanting to talk about it he stopped... "okay okay I won't talk about it, please sit", he said and she nodded sitting down...

"Ishu... are you happy in this marriage??", Vikram asked

"Yes, my brother... stop worrying so much... ", Isha said with a smile that brought a smile on Vikram's face...

"Then why don't you share things with your husband, I find you hesitant to talk to him about your past or your sufferings... love is not enough for a successful relationship Ishu... understanding and communication are equally important, I know Mr. Ranawat is a difficult man, so maybe you should take the first step", Vikram advised not knowing in a few hours he is gonna regret saying this to her...

Abhyansh is furious when his wife sends the coffee and snacks with a servant instead of bringing it herself but he calmed down and thought she couldn't come all the way to the other wing of the palace since she is very tired, but when he located her in Vikram's room, he is beyond mad. He stormed out of his office and walked to the guest chamber wing.

Just then Isha is walking out of Vikram's chamber with the empty dishes in her hand, when she met with her husband who is glaring at her angrily, his eyes drifting towards her hands holding the dishes.

"Rana sa... you, here?? Do you need to talk to Vikram about work??", Isha questioned her husband...

"Why the hell should you serve that a**?? Can't he come down and collect his food?? Or you could have sent with some servants... like you did to your husband", he mentioned fuming in anger... Isha wanted to smile at her angry husband for his childish calculations but controlled herself...

"I needed to talk to him, also since bhai left without a word, Vikram has a lot in his plate... sorry that I sent your coffee and snacks with...", she started but he cut her off...

"Okay, let's go to our chamber", he said pulling her to him and not so accidentally making the plates in her hand fall down smashing on the floor... like the hell will he let his queen carry someone else's soiled plates. As soon as the staff heard the sound, they started cleaning the place while Isha walked with her husband...

They reached their chamber, but Abhyansh stopped taking a step forward seeing the caller ID. And the news he received after accepting the call generated maddened fury in him. His one of the most loyal men who takes care of his businesses in Europe was brutally murdered. His eyes shone with rage, maddening rage. Isha looked back on seeing her husband stuck at the entrance of their chamber... looking at his cold and emotionless face but the raging eyes, she is scared... she never saw him so mad, except for when she tried to make him gift her mother-in-law a saree...

"R...Rana sa...", she fumbled seeing his posture... his cold aura is back and it screamed danger...

"Bring everyone responsible to the place(his dungeon)", he said and hung up, even in his unexplainable rage he remembered his wife's presence so he didn't use the word den or dungeon because Isha till then got to know that if her husband visited that place, he would torture one or the other but what she didn't know is he would not only torture but kill, none who was taken to the BEAST's den returned alive except for Kailash Rajput...

"Go and prepare dinner, I'll be having it early", he said before storming to his study getting her worried, she got to know he is furious and wanted to calm him but is hell scared of even stepping near him when he is that mad.

She quickly went to the hall and taking her mother-in-law, went to the kitchen and started dinner preparations, hearing her elder son wanted to have early dinner, Amruta shivered in fear, every time her son preponed dinner which he rarely did, something horrible happened.

The whole family reached the dining table as per the adjusted time including Vikram and Aryan. Seeing the tensed and fear-filled faces of everyone, Vikram and Aryan stayed calm deciding to stay away from trouble...

Isha served her husband and he as usual had the food to his content. Isha on knowing her husband's sour mood, wanted to concentrate entirely on serving him as she wanted him to eat satisfying his appetite so she decided to have her dinner later and her husband too didn't force her as he understood her concern and honestly, he needed that. He needed his wife's care, concern, and her food to calm the raging wild animal inside him.

He quickly finished his dinner, and walked away, but not before giving a look to his wife which meant ordering her to have her food. She nodded and followed his words, even in so much hurry, her husband remembered about her, and that warmed her heart. She knew he would need coffee often that night as he seemed very mad and upset, so she gave a flask of coffee to Bhairav before arranging the dinner table.

After dinner, everyone returned to their rooms one by one, Amruta and Avyan sat till 10 PM but after that Isha forced them to retire to their rooms as well, and she too decided to wait for her husband inside their chamber instead of sitting like a ghost in that mammoth main hall of the palace.

"Bhairav", Abhyansh called in his steely low tone, and soon his right man appeared in front of his eyes in a second.

"Yes Hukum...", Bhairav responded almost instantly to his boss who looked calm compared to the earlier sight where he pounced on the men they caught like a wounded wild and dangerous lion.

"Give them everything...", Abhyansh said looking at the men lying in their own pool of blood still waiting for that one heavenly word from the BEAST that is 'kill them', but no, that didn't happen... "except for death", he said breaking their last hope, they cried in pain...

"Pl...Please... kill us, kill us...", they begged but Abhyansh stood still, looking at the papers Bhairav had given him regarding the conflict of control over European territory after his representative was killed. Abhyansh avenged his death before reclaiming the territory, he valued his people more than anything, he protected them with everything he has and that's what earned him ardent loyalty.

"Hm... send them back", Abhyansh commanded Bhairav and turned to walk away when he heard that one sentence which brought back the fury that was just cooling down...

"Staying with Amar Rajput's daughter is enough punishment for life for the sins you have committed, don't commit more si...", Hugo's throat was slit before he could sputter more nonsense. He was one of the assassins of Abhyansh's man.

Abhyansh's rage had no end hearing those words, even Bhairav and his men stood shocked at the man's audacity and the BEAST's angry growl scared the living hell out of them. He knew,he very well knew how to unleash Beast's fury so that he could kill him, and that's what happened. The other men who were waiting for their death also wanted to opt the same strategy seeing their friend lying down dead peacefully but the sight of a raging Abhyansh Singh Ranawat terrified them to no extent that their voices paralysed.

"BHAIRAV...", the beast roared throwing the black metallic credit card that was now broken into two pieces and is dripping with someone's blood. "I want every man in this b**t**d's family here by tomorrow, I would never let his soul rest in peace", Abhyansh said venom dripping from his tone that the other men shuddered. "Wanna die too??", he asked looking at them and everyone shook their heads joining their hands begging him to spare them. If he asked this question before, they would have begged him to take their lives but now that they knew what would he take in return, and they no longer wanted it.

Abhyansh left a satisfied smirk before walking out and Bhairav followed him.
