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

ANUSHKA'S POV It has been a week since I've last seen McKenzie..She had not been coming to the bank ever since the wedding and I've heard that she wasn't in town either..Sammy and Mr Pratab were the ones taking care of everything that had required Danelle herself but I had to put some of them on hold for until she was back..As much as I would have loved to disagree but truth was that this was the worst week of my life..How ironic was that ?It should have been the best week of my life since I've started working there ,but it was not..Every time this week when I stepped inside those glassy walls of D&M, it felt like something was missing and the loneliness that came with that was something I had never felt before..Even after my mother passed away I had never felt so lonely maybe that was because I still had my father and brothers with me but even they couldn't help the mood I was in this past days ..Sammy tried to cheer me up by taking me out last We

DANELLE'S POV "I feel so happy now that you back"Okay what was that ?I looked after Anushka as she hurried out my office..Did she mean what she said ? Was she really happy to see me after so many days ? I was left puzzled by her words and then I remembered that I wasn't supposed to care about anything concerning that girl..That was the reason I decided to go away for some time in the first place because I thought I was gone go crazy if I stayed in this place any longer..So I had visited my house at the mountain top outside the city..I bought that glassy triple story two years ago but I only went there when I wanted to have some alone time and right then I needed that nice forestry view and the freshest air of the tallest forest trees around the house to ease the tension that was literally suffocating me from since the wedding and going there did help my mind a lot..I really needed to get away ,it would have been so impossible for me to face Anus

ANUSHKA'S POV To say that I was shocked would be an understatement..Danelle McKenzie offering to give me a ride home ? I really didn't see that coming..I thought that I was dreaming or something but when she kept on insisting and even threatening to carry me ,I had to believe it..Though I was more shocked than anything ,I could still feel my heart pounding crazily in my chest..For the fact that she was so close to me and that her hand was resting on the small of my back with the intention of balancing me wasn't helping me at all..For God's sake , McKenzie had her hand on my body ,so how could I've acted normal ,it wasn't possible..I forced myself to ignore the tingles on my skin where her hand was and I focused on the pain that was on foot instead..Not a good idea either but I had to if I didn't want to start feeling all those weird feelings that my body experiences every time McKenzie was too close to me..Soon ,we finally reached her car and she sto

DANELLE'S POV I really really didn't know why seeing Anushka in pain bothered me so much..No ,it literally felt like I was actually feeling the same pain she was feeling..My heart ached seeing tears in those beautiful eyes..The last time somebody else's emotions affected me like that was when I was with Alice..Damn,whenever she was upset or sad or hurt ,I felt it too..I always liked to believe that she was my better half and that we were soulmates and all because honestly there was no explaining how insanely in love I was with that girl ..Yes I know ,I was a fool ..There is no such thing called better half and soulmates..It was all bullshitThough many people were too naive and still are to actually understand that ,it didn't matter if I was alone on that thought..I only wanted what was best for myself and that was to never ever fall in love again..I had buried all the emotions ,everything ,had nothing to share with anybody anymore and that was ho

ANUSHKA'S POV I couldn't believe it..She texted me back She really did! "Oh God! McKenzie texted me back" I chirped excitedly almost jumping out of my seat and forgetting that my foot was actually injuredWhen I had decided to text Danelle earlier ,I was almost hundred percent sure that she wouldn't even bother to open my message..But now that she actually replied back to me ,I couldn't help the happiness and warmness that swelled deep in my heart even though I was actually feeling quite the opposite before I received that text for McKenzie..I didn't know why such a little thing had made me so happy..It was not like McKenzie had started to acknowledge me all of the sudden but still, it made me ridiculously happy that she didn't actually choose to ignore my text..I still couldn't believe that McKenzie left her work just to take care of me and made sure I reached home safely..Though I might have been reading too much to the situation and as desp

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! That accident of our parents and older brother was a deliberate act yes but McKenzie family did not have anything to do with that. Mohan did!""Fuck you Sammy!"Nirmala seethed.

FIRE & ICE Chapter 87: Family feud
"U-uncle?""What are you doing in here ?"Anushka's father asked accusingly, looking at McKenzie who looked like a deer caught in a deadlight. She understood exactly the depth of the situation that she had suddenly found herself in. Raj Malhotra was the last person she had expected to catch her in Anushka's room. That old man didn't like her very much and she had no doubt that he was going to create an issue out of finding her in his daughter's room like that."I...I...well---""You are not supposed to be in here"Mr Malhotra stated as a matter-of-fact, glaring at the woman infront of him"Then why are you in here?"McKenzie didn't know what to say and it wasn't like she could just out right tell Anushka's father the real reason why she was in there. And although the old man was obviously old but he wasn't dumb, the second his eyes took in McKenzie's ruffled appearance, he knew exactly what had been going on in that room and just a thought of it made bile rise up his throat. "I can't b
