ANUSHKA'S POVAs I arrived at the kitchen, I found my mother in law already behind the stove preparing food with the help of Abigail next her. "Pass me the....oh Anu my dear , you are here?"Aunt said once she noticed me. I loved how Aunt Karina always had a wide smile on her face every time she saw me."Yes , I wanted to make some food for Danelle. She just woken up "I told her as I came to stand on the other side of the kitchen counter" But I see you are already done""Yes, I have cooked some of her favourites ,but you can come and dish up for her hmm""Okay"I nodded with a smile on my face as I walked to the sink to wash my hands"McKenzie wants Kheer also"I told her as I turned around after washing my hands and walked to stand next to her behind the stove "Oh? I didn't make it ""It's okay ,I'll cook it when you are done here. I will only need to be shown where the ingredients are""No problem, Abi will show you where everything is hmm"I nodded,

ANUSHKA'S POV"What do you mean uncle Sammy have a sister?"Amaar asked me as he sat down next to me on my bed "Exactly what I'm saying"I said as I continued painting my feet nails with my pink nail polish"I meet her today at McKenzie's house and her parents and brother too""Parents? Brother?""Yes ,the people who have been taking care of her all this years""Oh, how old is she?"My brother asked as he looked through the many nail polishes I had that were stacked in my little makeup box"I think Sammy said twenty six" "And what's her name?""Nirmala is her name and I think her mother is Savita ,her father is Uday and the brother is Kunj"That's what they said their names were when Sammy introduced them to Danelle's family earlier today. Everyone was so thrilled to meet them and I was too really but for some reason , I couldn't help it but feel like there was something weird about them ,all four of them. I wouldn't say what exactly but something was definitely dodgy about them. Or may

ANUSHKA'S POV 16:40pm in the afternoon Everyone was getting ready in their rooms as we only had about an hour and twenty minutes left before the ceremony could begin. I was in my hotel room too, also getting myself ready like everybody else. I was in room 302 and McKenzie wanted to share with me but both my father and her mother almost bit her head off for even suggesting that and they made sure to move her to a room that was in different floor with mine and my mother in law personally took the room that was next to mine just to keep an eye on me.So what happened was; few hours after that hot session with McKenzie in the ladies room ,it happened that I went to Danelle's room that was initially two doors away from mine and I had only went there to talk to her about something but only to find her in a pair of sweatpants that in my defense were not worn innocently , in a sense like ; when someone with a male genitalia and they wore sweats without an undergarments or something and that

DANELLE'S POV 19:02pm in the eveningMy team and I had just performed our dance few minutes ago and Anushka's team were just preparing to come up on the stage. And after that excellent performance we had just banged , I was feeling pretty confident that we were going to win and I wasn't even feeling that stupid anymore in those awful shoes."Dude, you were really amazing out there"Vijay said as we both sat down at one of the dining tables that were scattering around in the hall in front of the big stage I chuckled as I poured myself a glass of water before chunking it down my throat "I had to bring out my A-game if I want to win this. Anu challenged me ,so I had to do something about it""Yeah ,we have to wait and see what her team brings to the stage. I'm not used to losing just like you but I'm feeling very threatened I must say"Vijay chuckled as he leaned himself back against the chair"Everyone have been saying how good she is""I heard the same thing too. And she even said it to

N\B: So I realized that there is ceremony that I missed. Accordingly the Mehndi ceremony is supposed to happen before the Sangeet ceremony. I thought I was just going to skip the Mehndi ceremony and assume it already happened but I can't. So I'm going to swap them. My apologize if it's inappropriate or anything * * *|||* * *UNKNOWN'S POV"You know, you told me I could trust you with this but you haven't fucking done anything to jeopardize this fucking wedding. Tell me about that"I uttered angrily, staring that woman straight in her eyes "I'm still working on it""Working on it? Fucking seriously?"I couldn't believe this person"I don't know if you have realized it yet but this wedding is in two days. Two fucking days! And I have strictly told you that this wedding shouldn't happen at any cost""I know and it's not going to, trust me. I'm working on it"The woman said"And I didn't put my plan into motion earlier but it backfired at the last m

ANUSHKA'S POV It was the morning of the 6th day. The last day before the wedding and I couldn't have been any more happier in my life like I was right now. To be honest, I was pretty much very tired with this many ceremonies already. If it were up to me , I would have skipped all of them and went straight to getting married to the love of my life and live my happy married life after that but it wasn't like I could do that, now could I? As much as I enjoyed all the ceremonies so far and they had to be done obviously, but what I needed above all was to be with Mckenzie already. I just couldn't get the thought of waking up next to her every morning of everyday out of my head. Just hearing her raspy morning voice whispering in my ear, calling me 'Sunshine'. Or being woken up with series of sensual kisses and hands delicately caressing my skin. Or breakfast in bed kind of treats and ogling of sweaty back muscles when she is working out , like I just didn't want to wait anymore. I couldn'

Mehek's blood boiled as she looked through the slightly opened door at the two women that were arguing inside the storeroom. The one she didn't know and the sneaky bitch that she wanted nothing but to beat the daylight shit out, right then. She just knew it from the first time she saw her that that girl was full of shit and everything had just been confirmed to her that she was in fact right. "I asked you to do one simple thing and you couldn't even do that"The other woman seethed in the other's face. They were both unaware of Mehek presence behind them "I did what you told me"The other retorted back just as snappy"I don't know how the haldi pot with acid got replaced okay" "You ar--"The woman was cut off by a suddenly slamming of the door behind them ,startling the shit out of the both of them. Both women turned towards the door in an instant and shock consumed them as came face to face with a very pissed Mehek. They were caught, and that was the first thing they both acknowledge

ANUSHKA'S POV I was grabbing the sides of my long dress ,my heels clicking against the marble with every step I took as I descended down the white stairs that lead down to the hotel lobby. My heart thumped, my hands tightening on my dress as I felt every pair of eyes on me. Thanks to McKenzie's little brother who just loved to make me a centre of attention with his exquisite sari gowns that I honestly didn't want to ever wear again just because of the attention it came with wearing them. Last time I had almost fainted with the amount of camera flashes and journalists who wanted to talk to me just because I had worn a piece designed from McK Modelling, one of the top leading fashion house in London. After that engagement ceremony I had swore not to wear any of Karan's dresses again but when he literally begged me earlier, I couldn't find the heart to say no to him. Though I wouldn't lie, It felt so good wearing those expensive dresses. I felt different in them, like I was the most be

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
