Its Too Late To Forgive

Days became weeks and weeks became months. It's been almost 3 months now that Henry and Bella got married. Season changed , dates changed but nothing changed between them. Every day it would same routine.

Bella will try her best to wake up after Henry leaves for the office. Spend her entire day sitting on the bench of the garden. Food was not a problem for Bella so she never bothered. Henry would come back home mostly in the evening and if held back in a meeting then he would make sure he informs Bella that he will be late.

He knew Bella was alone in the house and hence he made sure that he would call her atleast 4 - 5 times in a day. Bella mostly stayed in the house. Henry didn't restrict her outings though but only with bodyguards around her.

Bella seldom went out and whenever she did, she went with Claire. And once with Claire and Sophia. As she was no more an employee of LAS DEUX, she , Claire and Sophia became close friends.

Sophia would often complain to them the behaviors of a 'pervet' according to her. She hated Alen as she feared around him. She told them how he would trick her daily to be in his booth and sometimes on his private floor. And how much she wishes to strangle his neck. But she was also pleased for the fact that he never forced himself on her and would sit and talk about their families and their past for hours. He had also promised her that when she graduates he would assign her as his personal secretary.

Claire would also share her experiences with funny clients. Even though Bella never asked or said but still Claire knew that somewhere deep down in her heart she cared for Jason. She informed him that since she got married Jason never came back to the club or to his floor. May be he was too heart broken or maybe he was too busy dealing with his industry's stuffs.

Every alternate day Bella would go to Carson's hospital for her checkup and rehab physiotherapy. Henry made sure that Bella keeps fit. Carson has already started working on Bella's body. He wanted to go step by step to improve her body condition.

He started her on medication that will reduce the ulcers and inflammations of her throat so that may be in a while she will be able to eat something more then soya milk.

He also started Bella on speech therapy to improve her speech and physiotherapy for her legs. They are also planning for a plastic surgery for removal of her forehead scar and reunion surgery for her broken leg.

Carson can't do anything for her missing kidney but as far her eye is concerned, Carson was determined to find a solution for it as by now he knew that her nerve is compressed that caused her blindness. He was also able to find out that it's basically temporary blindness and as no one took care of it before that's why it was never found out.

He also prescribed her various vitamins and mineral to gain back energy and her skin and hair texture. Bella was not interested in all this. She was already broken and these things really didn't matter to her but she had no choice. If she refuse to go a single day then Henry made sure that he will torture her whole night till she agrees to go.

At night in Jackson Mansion:-

Crack~

The door of the bedroom opened gently. Henry didn’t say a word, went straight into the bedroom, unbuttoned his clothes without saying a word, took off his clothes one by one, revealing a strong waist, and looked at the person on the bed, opened the bathroom door, and went in.

Henry was drunk today. Bella was still awake. The huge French window was near her bed. She looked out of the window with dull eyes until the sound of the bathroom door closing came in her ears.

She retracted her gaze from their and slightly curled herself and tried to sleep. Not long afterward, there was a rustling sound, and the bed underneath suddenly sank.

Hunk! Her fists curled up on her chest were squeezed tighter unconsciously.

The heat source approached, and suddenly an arm sank around her waist, pulling her to the center of the bed very aggressively.

Her shoulders became extremely stiff, creaking, and her teeth trembled uncontrollably.

'Henry Can you… please.. not touch me again. Every minute, every second is very difficult to breath and survive.' Is it love or hate? She doesn’t know. But what she does know is that she needs to stay away from him.

A warm spray of breath came in her ears,

“From now onwards, no one will be able to hurt you ever again. I love you Bella. I will protect you and our children."

The low voice in the ear was a little hoarse.

Grandfather, Marcus Jackson, can’t do either. Henry said in his heart. He was now sure that Bella was innocent, but he couldn’t tell her his thoughts clearly.

How can he talk about his grandfather? How can he tell her that 'Mr. Jackson' that gave instructions to the warden was his own grandfather. His grandfather set the game, and he personally buried her in a hellish prison.

Henry's investigation was not yet over. They were still trying to figure out the connections between Cindy, Bella and his grandfather. What they could do was just trace the call and message back up records of the warden , who was there that time, and confirmed the number to whom she used to message the most and from where her account was loaded with money. What was found till now was that the number and the money sender account belonged to Marcus

grandfather. If it was his grandfather who set all this and made her a scapegoat. If Bella knows the truth then there would really be no chance for their relations to improve. He was scared of truth but he

They would spend hours in the kitchen making and baking various things. She loved the way Bella respected her and learnt cooking things that Henry loved. Bella was a
