Its Too Late To Forgive

Chapter 2: 2. I AM THE LAW

After seeing no hope at the Jackson mansion, Bella dragged her scared and tired body to the Evan villa, her home, to her people, to her only hope.

But to her surprise, she was blocked by the security guard at the gate of Evan villa and was repeated the same words that Henry Jackson has said for the Evans. And eventually she was asked to leave.

Nobody from her family came to see her, neither her parents nor her brother. Were they so afraid of Henry Jackson. The iron gate of the villa separated her from everything which once she called her own.

The head of the security guard, who has worked for the Evans for ages, saw her condition and took out his overcoat and gave it to her to cover her body.

Without any signs of denial, she took the overcoat and wore it. It came only upto her thigh level but was able to cover her almost naked private parts.

She was extremely grateful to the guard and after thanking him, she hugged the coat as if it was the only lifeline she is left with.

Later the guard also handed over an envelope to her. She gave the guard a puzzled look and opened the envelope. Her eyes widened as soon as she saw the contents of it.

Her all , hard earned credentials, scholarships, qualifications were all cancelled and she was just left with a result of fourth standard passout. Few called her cheat and fraud and few called her murderer and rapist.

Bella did not know how to describe what she was feeling right now. Subconsciously she moved two steps behind and was caught off guard by two uniformed men.

" Miss Bella you are under arrest for planning and plotting of Miss Cindy Anderson's rape and murder. So please don't let us use force and come with us."

She was escorted to the police station. She was then put in a cell. There was no sound in the cell. She curled herself in a corner like a frightened stray cat still wearing only the overcoat.

After a long silence, she heard steady and heavy footsteps and fresh shinning pair of leather shoes came in her vision.

Bella looked up and meet cold pair of eyes which can give shivers to everyone around. She pretended to be strong and brave as she knew she was innocent but her shoulders were trembling. Those sharp eyes noticed it but did not react.

He grabbed her chin and forced her to stand. She still tried to be calm and said "I didn't do anything. Please believe me.."

Henry was surprised. Is she still trying to maintain her dignity?

But ofcourse, she is the Bella, Bella Evans, the face of beauty of city A.

The woman who has always been prideful and dignified that even his continuous rejection of love didn't leave a single dent on her and she continued loving him and confessing him infront of hundreds of people. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

He got more agitated and the force of his palm on her chin increased gradually to an extent that tears came out of her eyes and eventually her jaw bone cracked. She was in pain. She bit her own lips hard and her palm formed a fist while she was enduring the pain.

Instead of sending her to a doctor for examination, he threw her hard on the floor, unbuttoned his trousers and did what he was longging for since yesterday night.

From the moment he touched her and saw her bare body yesterday, he himself didn't realise why he wanted to do so eagerly with her.

He always thought her to be a spoilt little miss of a rich family, but on seeing those red spots on the back seat of his Bentley yesterday night, there was some indescribable happiness in his heart.

He always thought that he loved Cindy Anderson and wanted her to be his woman but the feeling that he got after touching Bella, he could never get that from Cindy.

After he finished, he returned to the reality. Bella looked at him with teary and begging eyes.

After buttoning his shirt and making himself tidy again, he said in a cold voice "Who would have thought that such a pretty face and God's own creation of the most beautiful eyes was hiding such an evil heart."

"I didn't do anything to Cindy Anderson!" Bella's face was pale. She bit her lips and said, "you can't send me to the prison."

"Hahaha ..... " the man laughed loud as if he has heard the best joke of his life, "Yes I can and I will. Miss Evan please enjoy your happy life in the prison from now on."

Henry turned and left but before he could step outside her cell, she screamed and said again, "I am innocent, there is law in this country and you can't send me to the prison like this."

Henry turned arrogantly and said in a proud fashion, " I AM THE LAW."

He was taking his revenge on her. All the blood was drained from Bella's face. She was pale and she could not say a single word.

Nobody came to help her, nobody wanted to go against the great Henry Jackson. Her friends, her family, her subordinates- just nobody.

After 2 days, she was sent to the women's prison, with no trial , no judgement. Only holding on to the same overcoat and paper envelope which was given to her by the security guard.

This is the place where she finally realised that loving Henry Jackson was the biggest mistake of her life.
