FIRE & ICE Chapter 27: Marriage talk
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
Last Updated : 2023-07-05FIRE & ICE Chapter 33: Sparks flying
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
Last Updated : 2023-07-05FIRE & ICE Chapter 34 : Shiny, sweet morning
ANUSHKA'S POV Soon it was morning .. The bright Saturday morning!I was woken up by a bright light hitting my face and I groaned frustratingly shutting my eyelids even tighter..I extended my hand to my face to rub them until I slowly opened my eyes to adjust to the light and immediately a bright smile curved on my lips..I quickly tossed to the other side but my smile vanished cruelly off my face when I saw that Danelle wasn't next to me..I sat up on the bed frantically scanning around the small squared room but she was no where to be found..But what was I expecting anyway ,it wasn't like McKenzie and I were together or anything ;we were just caught up in a moment which would probably never happen again..But just thinking about what happened between us last night was good enough to dissolve any hit of sadness that engulfed me seconds ago..Heat rose up to my face and because I was kind of alone ,a sweet giggle found it's way out my mouth as I tou

FIRE & ICE Chapter 98 : Lovers's adventures
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,
FIRE & ICE Chapter 97: Hypocrites & Bygones
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
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
