Its Too Late To Forgive

It's almost evening that Henry returns to the Jackson Mansion. He wanted to come early and see Bella getting dressed up himself but due to some official work he couldn't. His work had increased in last one month since he took over lots of projects that were suppose to be under Morris group.

Henry played dirty to give hard time to Jason and hence punished entire Morris family for taking his woman away from him. But now since their last encounter in the club , Henry was rest assured that Bella and Jason were not together anymore so he had to correct his doings and return the projects to Morris group.

Henry entered the living room and without waiting went directly to his room. He had already received the message from the designer that Bella was ready for the party. He couldn't wait to see her.

As soon as Henry entered the room, he saw her standing near the French window looking outside at the iron gate. Bella heard the door opening and slowly turned to look at Henry who was almost stunned seeing Bella.

The designer and the makeup artist had done a marvelous job. Even though Bella looked nothing like what she used to years back but right now she was looking breath taking in Henry's eyes. He couldn't take his eyes away from her and slowly approached her.

Bella was wearing a full covered mahroon evening gown. Her sleeves and back was made with net. Bella was very thin, more like an anorexic patient. But the way gown was hugging on her , it brought out all her curves perfectly. The mahroon colour of the gown was complimenting well with her not any more fair or smooth skin. Her hair were tied in a loose bun. Her make up was done in a beautiful way that all her features were standing out in a beautiful way. Her scar was so well covered under the thick layers of makeup. There was no doubt that makeup was very heavy but was very natural and it seemed to blend with Bella very well.

She was wearing no jewelry and almost flat sandals.

Seeing her jewelry and footwares , Henry was little unhappy. He still remembered very clearly that all the leading jewelry brand used to request Bella to show case their jewelry in all the events which she attended. Hence, Bella always wore most unique and beautiful jewelry compared to any other woman in the city. Even though Bella was not that short but to match with Henry, she always wore beautiful minimum 4 - 5 inches stilettos.

Henry knew that Bella has problem with her legs hence he didn't ask her to change her footwears. As for jewelry, he took out a beautiful box from his pocket and gave it to Bella. Seeing Bella's hesitation he came closer to her,

"Here, have a look if you like it."

Bella slowly opened the box and found a set of beautiful diamond studded earrings and a very delicate matching diamond pendant. She looked at Henry with confusion written every where on her face.

Henry smiled at her and took the pendant chain and put it on Bella's neck. He was pleased to see that it looked beautiful on her. He looked at Bella’s confused eyes and smiled a little before telling her,

"It's a gift for you. I hope you liked it."

Saying this he started helping her in wearing the earrings too.

"For me?"

Bella asked in confusion.

"Yes...."

Just then Henry kind of remembered something. Was it for the first time that Henry had actually gifted something to Bella? And the answer was clearly a 'Yes'. Henry handed the box to Bella and went to his walk in closet to change into his outfit.

Within minutes Henry was out looking as usual very handsome in his black tuxedo suit. His leather shoes were shinning so bright that anyone can see their faces on it too. His hair were gelled well and set perfectly.

Bella looked at Henry for a second and then started looking outside again. Henry came close to her and stood right infront of her. Since he saw Bella today he thought of nothing but pinning her on his bed and make love to her so much that she ends up screaming his name loud. But he knew that he can't do that right now. He softly put a strand of hair behind her ears and kissed her on her cheeks. He then lead them to the car.

'Wait for tonite Bella. I will make you mine.'

The lights were brilliant, the car stopped at the main entrance of LAS DEUX. Martin and Ray were sitting in front. Ray was driving and Martin was sitting in the passenger seat. As soon they stopped, Martin got down of the car and opened the gate for Henry first. After doing so he respectfully went to the other side to open the gate for Bella but was stopped by a loud magnetic voice,

"Wait I will do it."

Said Henry who was walking gracefully to the other side of the car. Martin was dumbfounded for a second and stepped aside.

Henry walked around to the other side of the car, opened the door, and stretched out his palm to Bella who was still in the car.

Bella looked at the hand that was placed right in front of her. She looked and kept looking at it for few minutes then she pushed it away, and got out of the car.

Henry once again stretched his hand infront of her and said in a magnetic and authoritative voice,

“Hold it.”

Bella stopped. Her heart was filled with indescribable disgust and different feelings. She took a deep breath and held his hand, just the way he wished.

She smirked thinking about her past. Year after year, she chased after him facelessly, trying to hold his hand, always being pushed away mercilessly by him. But she chased him happily and smiled and hung him by her side even after being insulted time again and again. At that time, although she was pushed away by him over and over again, she was still willing to hold his hand without his approval. At that time, she felt that the distance between the two was extremely close and filled with love.

Now, he was holding her hand tightly but what she can feel is only pain. The place where the two hands entangled was so hot that she wanted to throw her hand away. She can't forget the pain that she has gone through in this so called love of hers.

As soon as they entered the hall holding hand in hand, as expected all the people around them started talking. The entrance was crowded with camera and media. They all also stopped and were shocked to see the female accompanying Young master Jackson. They were all shocked see that the woman was none other than Bella Evans.
