Chapter 45

Ranvijay's eyes watched the interaction between Maanvika and Yashyasvi, a mix of emotions swirling within him. He saw the warmth and love in their eyes, the way they spoke to each other with such ease and familiarity.

Queen dowager's and Kanchana eyes widened in shock as she watched Yashyasvi approach Maanvi, not Maanvika(Leela), who they had known was his sister.

At first,Ranvijay felt a pang of jealousy, seeing Maanvika so close to another man, assuming Yashyasvi was Leela's brother. He wondered if Maanvika had feelings for Yashyasvi, if they had grown close during their time together.

But as he observed their interaction, he saw the deep bond between them, the way they seemed to understand each other without words. He realized that their connection went beyond mere acquaintances, that they shared a history and a trust that he couldn't quite grasp.

Ranvijay's curiosity grew, his mind racing with questions. Who was Yashyasvi to Maanvika? What was their relationship? Why did Maanvika seem so at ease with him?

As he watched, Maanvika turned to Yashyasvi, her eyes shining with tears. "Yash... I'm so glad you're here...I didn't know how would explain  ..I've missed you so much ...you know.. "

Ranvijay's eyes narrowed, his jaw clenched as he watched Yashyasvi grasped his hold on Maanvika. For a moment, he felt a pang of possessiveness, a surge of jealousy at another man touching his woman.

He took a step forward, his movements fluid and deliberate. "Maanvi," he said, his voice low and commanding.Maanvika turned, her eyes meeting Ranvijay's.

Maanvika didn't resist as Ranvijay's grip on Maanvika's elbow tightened, his fingers brushing against her skin. He felt a surge of possessiveness, a sense of ownership that he couldn't quite explain.

As Ranvijay took Maanvika aside, she accidentally tripped on a loose step on her feet hem, her foot slipping out from under her. Ranvijay quickly grasped her elbow, his grip firm as he pulled her close to prevent her from falling.

Yashyasvi's eyes narrowed as he watched Ranvijay pull Maanvika away. He misinterpreted Ranvijay's possessive gesture, thinking he was mistreating his sister.

Without hesitation, Prince Yashyasvi stepped forward, his face set in a determined expression. "Let her go you're hurting her."he called out, his voice firm.

Ranvijay turned, his eyes meeting Yashyasvi's. "What is it,Prince Yashyasvi?Even if you both were old acquainted,you are a guest, Maanvika(Leela)brother,don't put your hands on my wife,you even forget your sister ,to meet her first.You siblings have..no shame at all " he said, his tone neutral firm and dominate to show his ownership.
