FIRE & ICE Chapter 26: In the rain
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

DANELLE'S POV Once I got inside the elevator after I instructed Anushka on what to do ,I pressed on the floor that took me to Sammy's office..I was going to get him since we were supposed to have lunch today..It had been so long since we talked ,I mean literally sit down and talk about life..It was actually starting to get me worried on how drifted apart we have been lately..Things were never the same after we fought that day at Vijay's wedding..Neither of us talked about what happened but I could sense the tension between us whenever we got to be around each other..We never stayed together for more than fifteen minutes because he always found an excuse to leave..He was trying to avoid me all the time ,I wasn't stupid I could see that and it was starting to piss me off to be honest...Yes ,I loved him,he was my best friend after all but what he was doing was not fair..It wasn't my fault that he was so uptight and he actually got mad because of that..I

DANELLE'S POV It was Friday morning and I was already parked outside Kashmiri waiting for Anushka to come down ,so we could start heading to Orleans since the meeting was to be held today at ten o'clock..It has been over ten minutes since I arrived and Anushka hasn't come down yet..God ,only if she knew how I hate people that were unpunctual..Time is money ,and every second counts..I was slowly getting frustrated and I wasn't really the nicest person when I was frustrated..And after my talk with Sammy the other day, I've been trying my best to be nice but of course I was unsuccessful every time and right now Anushka was really testing my patience..I have had enough ,I was about to climbed off my car and go up there to drag her pretty ass down when I saw her coming out her house , hurriedly hopped down the steel stairs and soon she was out the gate coming towards my car..My anger seemed to dissipate suddenly as my eyes subconsciously traveled down her b

ANUSHKA'S POV To say that I was happy would be an understatement ,I was literally freaking out with happiness..I couldn't believe what was happening..I had to discreetly pinch myself a couple of times just to make sure if everything was a dream or not..Danelle McKenzie was being nothing but nice to me and I couldn't believe it no matter how much I pinched myself and actually felt pain which proved that I wasn't in my dreamland..It was unbelievable because things like that only happened in my dreams..McKenzie would smile and laugh with me ,the warms hugs, kisses and long conversations.. Those were just my fantasies and I knew very well that they would never come true...like ever...And hopefully I make peace with that soon.."Is it just me or you stare at everyone like that ?" McKenzie said suddenly making me jump slightly on my seat..God, I didn't even realize that I was staring at Danelle like a creep this whole time I didn't say anything as I blus

ANUSHKA'S POVThe forest wasn't that compressed and I really thanked the heavens for that..McKenzie was keeping me close as we hobbled our way to the cabin that she was talking about..Everywhere was slippery and the slope was somewhat very steep ,so we had to take careful steps all the way through..The storm was still raving hard on us and Danelle's clothes were dripping wet by now and I felt so bad for having to wear her coat while she got drained..She was definitely going to catch a cold because of me and that was really bothering me..I really didn't know why the thought of McKenzie getting sick ,or getting hurt in any way devastated me so much..Which brings me to the way I acted back in the car..I knew it wasn't my place to be worried sick like that ,I was just an employee to her for God's sake and I definitely didn't mean anything to her but I just couldn't help the fear that swelled in my heart when I looked around our surroundings and the storm was

DANELLE'S POV I usually never got cold easily ,even when I was still a kid..I had a high tolerance of coldness and winter was my favourite season of the year actually..The temperatures here in summer were insane and I wasn't really a big fan of sweaty body and all that summer stuff..Shit actually made my skin scrawl..But right now ,standing fucking shirtless outside that cabin like I was freaking Arnold Schwarzenegger or something ,the storm still heavy like it was never intending to stop any time soon ;I needed that fucking heat..Anushka was taking fucking eternity to change into such simple shirt and joggers but I knew better than to just get back inside there ;the woman almost made me rip those wet clothes of off her sexy body and do very very bad thing to her just minutes ago but I controlled myself.. That was the reason why I actually wanted to go outside ,after that one simple yet sexy moan that came out Anushka's mouth, Danelle Jr went crazy in

DANELLE'S POV I was about to stand up from that small couche when Anushka placed her soft hand on my shoulder stopping me from moving..I gently rose my head to look at her and Jesus freaking Christ ,I really didn't know that butterflies could spread in one's stomach just by looking at somebody's smile..This was insane ,I tell you.."I'll sit " Anushka mumbled softly looking everywhere but me..I really wanted to reach to her face to remove that lock of hair that was hiding that beautiful face from me but she beat me to it ,gently tagging it behind her ear while softly nibbling on her lower lip..Only if she knew what that does to me when she does that ,she wouldn't be carelessly doing it right now"Its okay ,you don't have to"No,that was more like 'please' but I had to sugarcoat it ,couldn't sound desperate"No I want to....I mea- "She whispered quietly,even though it was bit dim in the room but I couldn't see the deep shades of pink on her cheeks..Sh

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
