FIRE & ICE Chapter 15 : A hard pill to swallow
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

DANELLE'S POV God ,I just wanted to get the fuck out of there but this stupid wedding celebration wasn't getting over..I was clearly not enjoying myself ,not that I was from the beginning anyway..And to worsen my mood ,ever since I saw Anushka about thirty minutes ago ,my eyes couldn't stop seeing her everywhere..Wherever I went around that house ,my eyes met her and I was even starting to think that I was hallucinating or something..I wanted to ditch this wedding but I knew I would be in for a long ass lecture from my mother even though I already knew I was sure in for a lecture from her anyway since I decided to show up late at the wedding..Yes, that was right ,I could have just left but still I couldn't fucking go no matter how much I readied myself to..Something deep down was telling me that I wasn't letting myself go not only because of my mother but there was another reason why I wasn't leaving that place..But what was the other fucking reaso

ANUSHKA'S POV I let my legs carry me as I walked out the guest house through the back door..I couldn't be around there any longer ,not after what just happened between me and my boss..My body was still feeling all weird..The sensations ,goosebumps everywhere and butterflies in my stomach ,it was like my body was on fire but in a very soothing way but---but I couldn't focus on that anymore because my heart was hurting ..I couldn't understand why McKenzie keep doing this to me or rather why I kept doing this to myself ..I couldn't lie ,everything felt so amazing and for the first time in my life, It didn't feel like I was doing something wrong by literally allowing someone to touch me like that..Of course when I first landed in her arms I thought she was going to push me away but I was surprised when she didn't instead she just pulled me even closer to her..For once she didn't have that look she always had on her face when she looked at me.. Even though

DANELLE'S POV After I hurriedly walked away from Anushka ,I found myself cooked up in some bathroom ..God ,I was literally going insane ,I just didn't know how to control all the emotions that were pouring down on me like a violent storm ..Everything felt so foreign to me and I just didn't know what to do for all of it to stop.. Like I was just losing it..My body was all heated up ,I was heavily panting like I just ran a marathon ,which I didn't..And fuck my heart ,I thought it was going to jump right out of my chest ,like literally..Instead of calming down ,my pants became even more stiff that I felt like I was losing my breath from just how tight they were..And all that because I could still feel her..I could still fucking feel her body in my arms..And that fucking scent of hers didn't leave my nostrils either and I just felt like I was going to explode from the excruciating heat that radiated from my body..I was sure that the small beads of sweat

FIRE & ICE Chapter 96 : Stargazing
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
FIRE & ICE Chapter 95 : Deep wounds
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
FIRE & ICE Chapter 94 : Serenade
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
FIRE & ICE Chapter 93: Deja Vu
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
FIRE & ICE Chapter 92 : A sense of longing
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
FIRE & ICE Chapter 91 : Final rituals
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
FIRE & ICE Chapter 90: Awkwardness, Temptations & Fantasies
DANELLE'S POV Minutes past by as I stood outside my bedroom door, my fingers fidgeting with the door knob. For some reason ,I was so nervous to enter my room. I knew Anushka was in there, waiting for me but I was hesitant to go inside and face her. My heart was pounding so hard in my chest and my palms sweaty despite the fact that it was actually night time. I couldn't understand why the hell I was nervous for? I knew Anushka for God's sake. She was my girlfriend and we had been together for almost a year. I saw and spent time with her almost every day so I didn't know why the heck was I being so weird? This was so ridiculous. Did people get nervous after actually getting married? Well...I guess I wouldn't know that because in all honestly , I just never cared before now. Yes, I was a bit nervous earlier before the ceremony but not like I was at the moment. To me, it felt like everything was going to be different now that Anushka was my wife. Her being my girlfriend was one th
FIRE & ICE Chapter 89: Officially yours
ANUSHKA'S POV I was all done, dressed up in a red wedding gown. It was a traditional silk saree which was richly embroidered with gold thread. The gown belonged to my late mother and it was the same dress she wore on her wedding day those many years ago when she got wedded to my father. She only worn it once and it was one of the few significant items that my mother left for me. They meant everything to me which was why I didn't hesitate to choose her wedding dress over the two hundred thousand dollars designer fabric that I was initially supposed to wear. It's cost was nothing compared to those many dollars obviously but it valued more to me. My mother's dress worth a whole lot more to me. Besides I was going to change into that expensive wedding gown for reception but for the ceremony I wanted to be embraced in that classic piece of silk. Heavy beautiful bridal accessories decorated both my neck, wrists and my ankles. Tears pricked my eyes and a lump forming in my throat as

"That can't be!"The woman said, shaking her head in disbelief"How is that possible? Uncle Mohan could never do something like that""It's the truth. He's the fucking culprit"Said a voice of a man as he spoke to the woman standing in front of him "Bullshit!....that's bullshit!"The woman hissed, glaring at the man"I know what fucking happened and this you are saying is not it""How could you know what happened? You were just a child when this happened. You just know what you were told" "And so were you!"The woman uttered as a matter-of-fact"And I can't fucking believe you right now!...after all this years of trying to find justice, you have the gut to pull shit like this....right now? When we are this close?""For fuck's sake, I'm not trying to pull anything Nirmala! This is the truth!
