DANELLE'S POV It was days ago when Sammy finally confessed to me that the girl she met at the graduation day a month ago was Anushka..I wasn't even surprised at all because I knew my best friend had no choice when it came to women..Always into plain Jane's and boring ass ladies ,sometimes I even wondered how was he able to stand women like that for so long and I tell you Anushka wasn't even close to being different from all the girls he dated..They all had everything in common , innocent faces that everyone would easily buy but me being the smart ass I was,already knew that was all bullshit ..There was one thing that really irritated me about Sammy ,was that he falls in love very quickly and that resulted to him getting hurt over and over again but the man didn't seems to learn..I tried to reason with him ,show him the clearer picture that women are nothing but snakes in the grass but no ,he doesn't get it ,what I seem to say was nonsense to him ..I can
ANUSHKA'S POVNever in my life have I thought I would be sitting and listening to people talking way too erotically about someone ,not just someone but my own boss..Sure ,I was twenty-five ,turning twenty-six in a few months but I was still not comfortable talking about sexual things , intercourse or the lustful discussions..I was just not okay talking about those kind of things besides shouldn't sex be a private thing ? That was just not an appropriate topic to talk about especially in public but here my new friends who happened to be my colleagues were shamelessly discussing just that about McKenzie..It was me ,Jenny ,Nancy and Oliver ,we were on our lunch break at the cafe that was just about five minutes away from our workplace..The place had became our regular, more like I had just joined the trio because the cafe was already their forte ,even the manager of the place had labeled them his favourite customers..We sat close to the window ,with me and
DANELLE'S POVIt was on Sunday night when I was sitting at the balcony that was attached to my room..It has always been a habit of mine to sit outside and watch the dark beautiful sky at night..The sparkling stars ,somehow turned to calm and soothe me in the most peaceful way ever..Back at the days when I was still a child ,we would sit outside me and my beloved grandmother and she would read and tell me different stories until I fell asleep..Even without her now, I still continued the tradition just that I didn't read, I just sat out there and relaxed my mind..I was then interrupted from my thoughts when my phone rang ,it was a call from an unknown number..Usually I didn't answer unnamed cell numbers but I guess I got a little curious and answered it anyway.."Who is this?" I said bit harshly than I intended..Thing was I didn't like just a regular nobody having my personal phone number..Only few people had my number which meant they were either my famil
ANUSHKA'S POVIt felt like my own breathes were failing me ,my eyes were burning with tears and my heart felt like it had been stabbed multiple times by a sharp dagger..My knees got weak all of the sudden and my legs couldn't carry me any more as I pressed my back on the wall once I got in the elevator..My breathing accelerated with every second that passed ,my hand clung tightly on the fabric (my shirt) pressed to my heart as I tried to calm myself down..But it wasn't helping ,nothing was helping ,it felt like I was having some panic attack..I closed my eyes to let those tears that were blurring my vision to fall down my heated cheeks ,immediately what I saw in that office displayed in my eyes and I flew them open..I didn't want see that ,I shouldn't have seen that in the first place..I cursed myself from going back to that office to retrieve that stupid phone charger..I wouldn't have been feeling like this now ,as if seeing them at the cafe earlier did
DANELLE'S POV "Why did you help the girl then considering you hate her gut with everything you have ,of which I find it very hard to understand because Anushka is such a very nice and kind girl "Sammy asked as we took a stroll in the freshly cut lawn at my house..I usually did that to escape the boredom of the mansion plus I had just came back from work ,I needed to refresh my brain with a cool and fresh oxygen from the trees surrounding this mansion..So today my dear best friend decided to join me "I don't have any business or interest in helping that girl..I was actually helping you ,can't you see that?" I said plainly but deep down I knew that wasn't the entire truth.."And how were you helping me exactly?" he was clearly confused "You just don't use your brain sometimes you know Sammy" I rolled my eyes..Sometimes I wondered how I even became friends with him in the first place"Yes I don't ,Ms brainer "He mocked and I just chuckled "Either way
ANUSHKA'S POV This past two weeks had been an emotional rollercoaster for me but I was glad that it was finally Saturday and I didn't have to go to that uncomfortable place I called my workplace.. McKenzie's attitude had became even worse after I fell sick at the office two weeks ago..She doesn't talk to me, I knew we weren't talking before anyway but right now the silent treatment had become even more excruciatingly painful for me..She doesn't even look at me ,to her it was like I didn't exist even though we spent almost the entire day together in that office..It was surprising how we still did our work respectively well despite the tension between us..But I didn't let whatever that was going on bother me ,even though it was ,but I made sure to try to turn a blind eye to it..Besides I had to it if I wanted to prove to myself that I didn't have feelings for that arrogant woman nor was I developing them..So far I had managed to control myself even tho
DANELLE'S POV THREE DAYS AGO" Okay mother you all head up ,I'll use my car and follow behind " I said to my mother as I kissed her on the cheek once they all prepare to get in the family car "I'll drive with Danelle" Sammy stated as my mother kissed him on his cheek too and smiled widely at us before she got in the car with the rest of the family..Once they all head out ,both Sammy and I walked to my car..I took the driver's seat while my best friend took the passenger seat..I wasn't really in the biggest mood and I was certainly dreading the fact that I had to go there out of all the places ,to my uncle's house but not that I had much of a choice anyway because my mother literally threatened me that she will never speak to me ever again if I decided not to go there and of course I can't let that happen ,so I had to drag my ass along too..Vigrant... fucking...Khan...It wasn't a secret that I hated that man with everything I got even though he
DANELLE'S POV"Are you still angry at me about last night?" I asked Sammy as I fixed my dark maroon sharwani (its those suit like coats that Indian men wears for weddings or important functions )Ever since we woke up and started preparing ourselves for the wedding ,the man had not said even a single word to me..All he did was move around the room getting what he wanted and suit himself in his dark green sharwani, so I figured he was still angry about what happened at the club yesterday.."What do you think Danelle? Y'all were being fucking jerks out there man"He spat angrily at me This guy can't be fucking serious "Instead of stopping the kid from messing up ,you were actually encouraging him "I bit hard on my inner cheek as I tried to keep my nerves calm because seriously Sammy was starting to piss me off and I really didn't like the was he was talking to me either.."Look , If you seriously angry about what happened yesterday at the club then I d
ANUSHKA'S POV McKenzie's mouth tasted like raspberries from the champagne she just drank. Her tounge felt slippery in my mouth as she tasted every nook of it like a starved dog. The kiss was deep ,demanding and a little messier, making my head spin with thrill. I whimpered, feeling my clit literally vibrating against my panties and wetness pooling in my core. I needed to be touched. Badly. "Go back a little"McKenzie whispered hoarsely against my lips, her voice pulling yet another helpless whimper out of me.I understood what she meant because we were literally on edge of the bed. I used my elbows to push myself back to the centre of the heart-shaped bed with McKenzie following right above me. I opened my thighs again for her to settle between and wasted no time to pull her back towards me and crushed our lips together again. My fingers disappeared between her silky strands of hair and I held on them tight, not too hard to hurt but just enough to get a throaty groan out of Danelle.
DANELLE'S POV Anushka was leaning on my shoulder as she slept. She had refused to go to sleep in the bedroom of the jet saying something about not wanting to move away from me. I just chuckled at her at that time and allowed her to do whatever she wanted even though she was probably going to wake up with a sore neck. I tried adjusting her head time to time ,getting her as comfortable as she possible could in that sitting position. We had about three hours before we landed in Rome and since I literally had nothing to do ,I had took out my laptop and started doing some work. I really didn't want to do any work while we were on this trip but my wife made me promise her that I would not ignore work anymore. She said that we shouldn't just neglect everything else just because we were away but I honestly disagreed with that. This was me and her time, nothing else mattered to me while we were here. But to make her happy, I would do anything. Kissing the top of my babe's head once again,
DANELLE'S POV Anushka was standing beside me as I knocked at the nicely polished mahogany door of the villa next door. It was the same house Dominique said they were living at. Waking up this morning, I had every intention to get all of this over with as soon as possible so that we could move on. Milan was not that enticing to me anymore, I wanted to leave. We could head to Rome earlier than we had planned, it was not a problem. First, I needed to sort out this thing with Alice, for good. After ringing the doorbell again, we waited a little longer before the door finally opened. In front of us stood a tall dark skinned guy with a nicely trimmed beard. His hair was cut short in a buzz cut and he had a 3D sleeve tattoo which was done to perfection. He was only wearing a pair of yellow swimming trunks and no shirt on. "Hello..?"The guy said as he looked between me and Anushka. He had an accent I couldn't quite place. "Hi" "Hey...um...I'm here to see Alice, is she around?"I asked h
DANELLE'S POV Smoke escaped my mouth in gentle waves, my head slightly tilted up to the ceiling as I rested the back of my neck against the brim of the bathtub. I have been soaked inside it for the last hour as I let my mind jungle through the maze of memories. My head was in turmoil. I have had about three cigars in that last sixty minutes as to try and ease up the tension that was brewing inside of me. It was a risky thing to do of course, consuming that large amount of tar but I just didn't feel like I cared at the moment. At least it was helping me in this particular instance, slowly but surely. Taking another long drag of the cigar, I closed my eyes, letting it in for a longer second before I finally exhaled. The bitter taste that left in my mouth resembled the bitterness I was currently feeling in my heart. Right then ,at that moment, I knew exactly what I needed. I knew what comforted me at times like this when my emotions skewed over but I was purposely staying away from her
ANUSHKA'S POV "Harp!"Dominique said, the shocked expression she had on her face long gone and replaced by an amused stare. Huh? "Let's go back to the villa Anushka"McKenzie said, flipping her off as she grabbed my wrist and started walking us away "Oh come on Harpreet, are you still mad?" "Don't fucking call me that!"McKenzie growled as she stopped walking and turned back to Dominique. "Why? Isn't that your name?"There was some level of smugness in her tone as she spoke "I swear to god Dominique"Danelle said warningly as she glared death at the other woman"Say one more word and see what happens" There was so much hostility radiating off of McKenzie directed to this Dominique woman and I couldn't help it but wonder who was she and what was the story between her and Danelle. Because, clearly there was something going on and Danelle didn't seem to like her very much either. Despite the warning McKenzie just issued out to her, Dominique didn't seem to be fazed at all
ANUSHKA'S POV Four weeks later... My life was good. Marriage felt amazing. Honeymoon was great. For the entire twenty six years of my life, this was the happiest I had ever been. If someone told me five years ago that I would be touring the world and enjoying the comfort of a twenty-million euros luxury villa, I would have laughed in their face. But it was happening and it still felt like a dream no matter how many times I pinched myself. It was simply so hard to believe. I was sitting on the sun lounger outside by the pool, enjoying the sweetness of grapes in my mouth and the morning rays of sunshine warming down on my skin when my phone started ringing besides me. I reached for it and saw that it was my younger brother calling. For this past weeks ,we have been calling each other constantly as Amaar insisted on being kept updated on every stop we made on this honeymoon tour McKenzie and I had going on. In four weeks we had already went to London, Paris, Monaco, Venice and
DANELLE'S POV For the time I have known Vijay, I had never seen him so emotional like he was as he held her little baby girl in his arms. Thirty minutes ago, he welcomed his first child and man, you could see all sorts of emotions going through him. His eyes held tears but the wide smile on his face showed a man who was over the moon. Same applied to his wife. Well her though ,she couldn't even hold back her tears. After a little while of them embracing their baby together, they handed the little one to her grandparents. From what I knew, the Khans were very big on the idea of having as many grandchildren as they could. They liked having large families. So the birth of a child in the family meant a great deal to them. That was why sometimes I could not necessary blame my mother for wanting a grandchild from me so badly. I was the first child and it was traditionally on me to keep the family name going. But I failed, not once but twice to fulfill her wish and now as I saw the longi
ANUSHKA'S POV Two days had quickly passed by since I came back home from McKenzie's house. Three days. That was how long I had to stay at my father's house for the last time before I had to go back to my new home, permanently. And as much as I was happy to be married but I wished I had just a little more than that to stay. It saddened me to know that the next time I went to my father's house I would be just like a guest. A mere visitor. It sucked but there was nothing I could do about it. I chose to be somebody's wife after all. The whole two days was spent with my family; my father, both my brothers, my sister-in-law, my little nephew and niece ,uncle Dusan and aunt Pragya as we bonded and created new memories together. The first night I arrived, we ate dinner together at the terrace. Both my aunt and sister-in-law had cooked all my favourite dishes. The following day ,it was raining so we just sat inside the house as we reminisced about a lot of things. My mother for instance a
ANUSHKA'S POV I was too focused on the coconut chutney that I was making that I didn't realize that I was no longer alone in the kitchen until I suddenly felt all too familiar arms wrapping around my body from behind. "Good morning Mrs McKenzie"Danelle said, burying her face in my neck as she practically breathed me in "Hey, you are finally awake?"I giggled ,leaning back into her more. Enjoying the warmth and the feel of her strong body pressed flatly against my own. Danelle only hummed, pressing herself even more into me and holding me in a tight embrace. "Why did you leave the bed?"She murmured against my neck, her lips gracing my skin delicately I closed my eyes, enjoying the touch of her soft lips"To make breakfast" "We have people who cook here baby"McKenzie said, pushing her face off my neck to look down at me"You didn't have to do all of this you know" I nodded, smiling at her"I know but I wanted to and besides, it's one of the custom that I still needed to do as
