FIRE & 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

DANELLE'S POVOnce given a heads up ,I didn't waste any time crashing my lips on hers and just the way I had expected ; her rosy lips were so soft like a sponge that the intensity that I wanted to devour her with instantly melted into a gentle obsession..The butterflies in my stomach multiplied making me weak to my knees ,though I was still sitting ;but I felt like I was falling in to something deeper the more my lips moved with hers and her hands clutching on me for dear life..She taste so sweet ,like strawberries ;funny thing was that I actually hated those but I found myself wanting to taste more and more of it..I desperately wanted my tongue inside of her mouth but I also couldn't get enough of those soft lips plus I wanted to also give her time to process everything ,I wanted to take us on her pace..She was quite inexperienced ;moving her lips sloppily against mine but I didn't seem to care about that ,in fact it only made everything even more bet

DANELLE'S POV SIX MONTHS LATERFor all this years ,my life was perfect..I had nothing to worry about and I could do whatever I wanted ,whenever I wanted and however I wanted.. There were only two things that I needed to concern myself about and that was to make sure my family was taken a good care of and making my name known all around the world ,which was already the case anyway..Everyone knew Danelle McKenzie..But what I didn't expect was a little girl showing up in my life and turning it fucking upsidedown..What I still didn't understand was how effortlessly Anushka managed to breakdown all the walls I have put up all this years..I had never let my guard down ,not even once but somehow ,some fucking how she managed to turn me into a love fool again..Some emotional fool that barely controlled herself when the said girl was around..God knows how I hated myself lately,how I hated not to be in control ,I didn't want to feel that way ,I hated the wa

ANUSHKA'S POV I didn't think when I pushed Danelle hard away from me which she stumbled back but was able to catch her balance quickly..How dare she think it was okay to do that to me ? Just because I didn't stop her from getting close to me ,didn't mean I gave her free pass to do anything she wanted..For God's sake ,I wasn't ready for that.."Don't you ever touch me again " I seethed through gritted teeth as I stared coldly at my boss..McKenzie had an apologetic expression on her face as she tried to step forward"I'm so sorry Anushka ,I didn't mean to do that ,I swear--" McKenzie started apologetically , I could really see panic in her eyes but I wasn't having it right now.Thankfully ,in that second the elevator finally opened and I didn't waste any more second as I literally bolted out of there.. I could hear Danelle calling my name behind me but I didn't stop..I really needed a minute ,with all those emotions I was feeling ;it felt like I was suf

ANUSHKA'S POV It has been exactly a week and half since I have talked with McKenzie..I didn't know if she was ignoring me on purpose or that we just didn't cross paths anymore..But it didn't make sense though ; every Monday we had a board meeting at the bank but she wasn't there ,the meeting was conducted by Mr Pratab instead..Again ,the marketing team -which I was now a representative of- always had a meeting every once a week with the President of the bank to analyse the bank statistics and any changes that might have took place during the week but the woman asked for the files instead saying she would check everything herself and give feedback..She didn't even come face to face with me to ask for the files ,she sent her new secretary instead..So I really didn't know what to make out of everything or how to even feel about everything but one thing was for sure though; I have missed McKenzie like crazy..Sometimes I was tempted to just budge in her o

ANUSHKA'S POV It only took about twenty minutes before we finally arrived at the restaurant Sammy did the reservation at for our date..It was a very fancy hotel , the outside only made that vividly clear..I suddenly felt so small, like I didn't belong there which I didn't of course..That was how I always felt every time I stepped in a space reserved for the riches..I always felt out of place and the feeling was never pleasant at all..I seriously would have appreciated it if he had took me somewhere I felt comfortable..Somewhere I could be able to pay for my own food if I wanted to..Maybe a street vendor or some two-star street restaurant or anything of that sort, besides I'd rather support a small-time business than some rich person who already have more money that could feed the whole town ,if not the whole conurbation..Fairly so, the man didn't think I'd like to eat somewhere like that ,so I couldn't blame him..He had money after all ,so he obvio

DANELLE'S POV I pulled in my new shiny black Dodge Charger I bought few days ago in front of Swift Restaurant..I still couldn't get over the fact that I spent over a million on that car..Not that I was regretting buying it or anything just that, fuck that car was insane..The second I saw it ,I wanted it..James almost fainted when he saw the purchase papers after I have told him to collect them at the car store..The look on his face was so hilarious that I laughed my ass off that day..It was strange how I was actually getting along pretty well with my new secretary..I couldn't say we were friends or anything close to that but we had a pretty good relationship..James had a very nice personality which I strangely vibed with..Potentially a future friend ? Yes ,if I decide to stop pushing people away of course.To which I was doing it for valid reasons.. Not because I was an asshole that most people thought I was..I stepped out off the warm air-coned c
Last Updated : 2023-07-11FIRE & ICE Chapter 41: Losing something
ANUSHKA'S POVIt was around past nine at night when Sammy finally decided that it was time for us to head back..I couldn't be more glad because ,honestly I really wanted to be anywhere else but there with him..Though I desperately tried to act like I was enjoying our time together but the facade was slowly blowing up on me and truly at this point ,I couldn't care less if he had noticed my lack of interest or not..All I wanted was to get away from him for a bit..Everything was going just fine until I let Sammy kiss me and the fact that I actually kissed him back was eating me alive inside..I was very pissed but I didn't try to lash out on Sammy because it wasn't like he forced his lips on mine ,I actually let him..And to think that I was determining to give him a chance (which was probably the whole reason why I kissed him) while his lips on me didn't even move me was very disappointing..I thought that i would feel at least a little bit of sparks or s

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
FIRE & ICE Chapter 88: Tales of lies
"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. She was boiling with so m
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
