Its Too Late To Forgive

New York

"Splash ~ ~ "

... with a loud noise the crystal ashtray banged the wall and turned into broken glass.

"Thud ~ ~ "

... the photoframe went flying and hit the opposite wall and broke into pieces.

"How dare he??"

"Spat ~ ~ "

... yet another flowerpot turned into trash.

"JASON..."

... said the angry furious man while clinching his teeth together. How dare he! How dare did Jason claimed Bella to be his woman!

Henry's eyes were blood red with anger and jealousy. Even though he knew that there was no reason to be angry so much. Even though in these past four years, he did sometimes think about Bella but he never really missed her.

But today when he saw her helpless face and those empty eyes at the time when she had almost drowned in the glass container he suddenly recalled the mistake he had done years back on the beach.

....... After bitting Bella's nipple, Henry almost tore her panties too. At this moment he wanted nothing else except to make her his at any cost. He wanted to mark her and may be that's why in rage he bit her hard.

But as soon as he saw her crying and her frightened face, he stopped his action. He was too proud to admit his mistake which he has already realized. He left Bella and swam towards the other side of sea.

He must have swam for 5 minutes or less when he heard girls screaming and boys calling names. He stopped and turned around and saw their entire group gathered at the same place, same rock, where he was with Bella few minutes back. Few of their group boys were diving in the sea.

He somehow felt disturbed in his heart. His eyes started scanning of Bella. But to his fear he couldn't see her and then reality struck him that he forgot that Bella can't swim at all and he had taken her to the deeper part of the sea and left her without anything to hold on to.

Suddenly her empty eyes came infront of him. He immediately started swimming towards the rock. Everything was a Chios. Girls were screaming , boys were taking turns diving into the sea. But his Bella was no where to be found.

He saw Vivian , who was crying on top of her voice. Even though she was not a very good swimmer but she also jumped into the sea to look for Bella. He was unable to find Cindy though. But at this moment nothing was important for him then to save Bella.

Fifteen had already passed and Bella was no where to be found. Then suddenly Brandon came out of the sea holding a delicate and petite figure in his hand. Seeing that Henry approached towards Brandon. He wanted to hold Bella in his arms and tell her how much he was sorry for his action and how much he loved her.

Other boys started approaching towards Brandon to help him carry Bella but Brandon suddenly screamed and told everyone not to come close to him and waved at Vivian. Vivian understood at once and immediately went and bought a beach towel. Inspite of Brandon's refusal, Henry approached Bella but was stopped by Vivian.

He wanted to take Bella from Brandon's arm but when he saw in what status Bella was he stopped. Vivian immediately covered Bella and gave a threatening looks to Henry.

The mighty Henry stopped and lowered his head. He understood that Vivian knew what he has done.

Just then Cindy came running towards Henry and held his hands in fear. Brandon carried Bella , accompanied by Vivian , towards the ambulance and left the beach without even talking to Henry. Before the ambulance gate closed , Brandon turned and saw Henry holding Cindy's hand while Cindy was leaning on his shoulders.

Henry immediately removed her head from his shoulder and her hand but he knew that it was too late as he had already seen disappointment in Brandon's eyes. He had already seen Bella's condition. And he knew why Brandon stopped other young masters to come close to her.

Bella's left breast was completely exposed, as he had torn her bra completely from that side, with prominent bite mark on it. Her panties were half torn too. She was almost naked when Brandon took her out of the sea and Henry knew that it was all

his fault.

He knew his anger sometimes controls his mind more then what it should. But what he didn't know that because of his this anger one day he will destroy his life and someone else's too, forever.

Bella didn't speak to Henry for almost for one month following that incidence. She was now sure that he doesn't love her. Unfortunately Henry's 21st birthday was next week and Bella had no choice but she had to face him again. Finally on his 21st birthday they saw each other but Henry never came to her or spoke to her once.

"Young master Jackson, what's your next order?"

Henry was brought out of thoughts when he heard Martin calling for him.

"Prepare the plane, we are going back."

"But young master, it's your enga......"

Before Martin could speak further , he was stopped by the looks of those two furious eyes.

Henry also doesn't understand why is he acting like this. He was sure that he broke all his ties with Bella the day Cindy died. But still after that he kept going back to the prison to feel her.

He already had a good share of females in his life. But since he had sex with Bella , he felt something missing everytime he was intimate with other girls.

He raised his hand and continously looked at them as if he can still feel her soft body on his fingers. He closed his eyes and he could see her smiling face.

After a while when he opened his eyes they were once again blood red in colour. He was still remembering the scene when he saw Jason tearing Bella's already soaked shirt and exposing her upper body completely to him. He clenched his fingers into a fist and hit the near by table aloud. The voice even made Martin shake a bit.

'Bella is mine and only mine. Jason who can't claim my woman. I am coming back Bella and I will make sure you keep in mind to whom do you belong to.'

LAS DEUX:

It's been two days since that incidence and Bella had been in peace since then. Young master Jason has also not appeared infront of her and due to her bad health even Claire has not appointed any task to her.

Without any work as an attendant, Bella is working in the kitchen and helping Mrs. Potts with her cooking or washing utensils. Just then Mrs. Potts received an order but with instructions Bella was suppose to deliver the food to private floor 30th, the BOSS'S DEN.

Bella didn't think much, she picked up the order, placed it in the trolley and left. She suddenly remembered that all the elevators need passcode to reach the private floors especially 30th floor. To her surprise as soon as she entered the elevator, the later started and reached the designated floor in no seconds.

Bella was little dizzy because of the speed but soon she calmed down. The door of the elevator opened and Bella entered the private floor. She crossed the living room and reached the dinning room, which was small but exquisite. Black and Grey Italian furniture, Persian carpet and antique paintings on the walls were all reflecting Henry of what Bella remembered.

She smiled a bit when she saw one of the painting of two youngsters, the boy was teasing the girl while pulling her pony tail and the girl was eating an ice cream. Seeing that Bella remembered how she and Henry used to fight over ice cream and always in the end Henry would give up seeing her cry and give the ice cream to her. While thinking about the past did make Bella sad and she immediately gained her senses back when she heard someone clearing his throat from behind.

Bella turned to see Henry stack naked only wearing his towel on his waist. His hair were still dripping water that was flowing luxuriously on his well built eight packed abs. Fresh smell of lily and sandalwood was emitting from his body. If it was past then surely Bella would have jumped on him and kissed him but now she dare not even breath in the same room as him.

"Why are you standing here?" Henry spoke in an authoritive manner. He heard the elevator opening around 10 minutes back and was expecting Bella, by now, must have set the table and waited for him on dinning table.

"S.... sir, your breakfast." said Bella while keeping her focus on the floor.
