"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
"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
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
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
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
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
It was during the course of the day in Danelle's office where Danelle was having a conversation with Sammy and her lawyer about the land that she had recently bought..It has always been part of her long time plan to build another five star hotel but this time in the honor of her grandmother whom she loved so much..She had found a perfect place, a perfect land for that but much to her dismay, her best friend was having issues and very unnecessary issues at that.."What you doing is not right Danelle ,think about those poor people at least..Where will they go?" Sammy went on again and to say this wasn't getting on Danelle last never would be a lie..She was getting fed up of the man's constant bickering "And what exactly do you think I am doing?" Danelle questioned, her face crunched up in annoyance as she looked over at the man in front of her "Listen here Sammy ,I really don't care about those people, do you understand ?..All I care about right now is for the project to be done soon a
ANUSHKA'S POVIt was finally sunrise but still very early , maybe around five am in the morning..Of course it was five because my alarm went on crying violently causing me to snap my eyes open immediately..Usually It would have gotten me very frustrated disturbing my sleep but for some reason I was glad that it woke me up..Right, I should be glad ,I should be happy..The day I was patiently waiting for my entire life had arrived..Today I was finally going to graduate and hopefully find a very good paying job after that so I could be able to help my older brother Shavaay to provide for the family..He was married now and lived with his wife and two children at their house ,so it was obvious that his salary was shared between two households..And I was completely sure that his wife was slowly and slowly getting fed up with that..But I would understand her though if she in fact was because brother Shivaay should have been only taking care of his family and see to it that their needs were m
