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
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
ANUSHKA'S POV I was laying under the massive tree with the thickest stem I'd ever seen and packed leaves that bent to its sides forming something like a dome..I had curled myself like a foetus on the ground as I wailed in my agony..I had cried and screamed until I couldn't find my voice anymore and now the tears were just silently flowing off my eyes on their own..I couldn't stop them no matter how hard I tried..I was in so much pain ,the pain that nobody could ever heal ,the pain of losing someone that meant the world to you..Someone that completed your soul, someone that was figuratively a part of you and now that that part was taken away from you ;life felt useless..It had been so many days and nights since I've curled myself under the same tree ,not even moving a single muscle as I continued to drown myself in my own tears..It hurts so much that I wanted everything to end ,like literally end..I slowly opened my eyelids as I felt something gently
DANELLE'S POVI heard everyone of them talk but it was like I was stuck deep under the water ,so I really couldn't make out the words ,only the sound that someone was talking..My whole family talked to me and even James and Josh did..Though I couldn't make out what they were saying but I could distinguish which voice was whose..I waited desperately for that one particular soft voice that made my heart do flips each time I hear it..Each time I faintly heard the door open ,I wished it was her but turns out to be someone else instead ,and that caused the ache in my heart to worsen each time I got disappointed that it wasn't her that walked in..Didn't she care about me ? Why wasn't she coming to talk to me like everyone else did? The more questions I asked myself in my head ,the more I got stressed and the more my heart pace slowed.. I could feel myself slipping away but I tried to hold on because I knew she would come for me..I just knew she would..
DANELLE'S POV It has been exactly a week and half since I have woken up and a week and half of yet to be discharged from the hospital ,a week and half of dealing with the annoying and constant clinginess of Elizabeth ,which I only endured because the woman claimed to be carrying my unborn child..And the whole fucking week and half without seeing my source of happiness ,my sunshine ,the only woman that made my heart skip a beat..After that day when she was probably unknowingly confessing her love for me and Elizabeth had to budge in and ruin our moment and dropped us with news that Anushka obviously didn't want to hear ,she never came to the hospital again..I called and texted her everyday this past days but she never picked up and she wouldn't even reply to my texts..I was seriously going crazy..I just wanted to see her ,just a glimpse of her beautiful face and maybe talk to her for a bit..God I was missing her so freaking much..I can perfectly u
