Its Too Late To Forgive

"Looking for something Miss. Evans."

Bella looked up and saw Leo entering Henry's study. Bella, as usual is looking for her ID and marriage certificate, which she is sure that Henry must have kept it somewhere in the study.

Last time the head maid caught her in the study and Bella had to leave. But today she had made up her mind to find the documents and try to escape from this place as soon as possible. But before she could open the drawer of the table, Leo entered the study and saw her.

"Leo...."

Bella whispered softly.

"May I know what are you looking for Miss. Evans?"

Bella could hear the sarcasm in Leo's tone. She knew that what reaso Leo gave to Henry for his return was not true. It's not easy to live under the same shade with a person who is being claimed as a murderer of his sister. She has her own doubts behind Leo's return.

"It would be Mrs. Jackson for you Leo Hanks."

Bella said while trying to keep her shoulders strong. As soon as she said this line, she saw some different emotions in Leo's eyes which disappeared within seconds, as if it never occurred.

"Yes, ofcourse Mrs. Jackson. It was always for this title. Wasn't this your dream?"

Hearing this Bella started laughing. Seeing her laughing face, Leo lost his temper,

"You are laughing! You murderer! Vicious - hearted bitch!”

Leo yelled and cursed even more angrily,

“If it weren’t for you, how could my Cindy die young? If it weren’t for you, how could she be defiled by those animals! It’s all because of you! It’s all your doing. To fulfill your this dream of becoming Mrs. Jackson, you smelly - hearted girl destroyed my sister."

Bella was quietly standing and looking at Leo.

“Cindy and you were friends and infact Cindy regarded you as the most important friend, her best friend. But what about you! What have you done!!"

"Ah!!!”

Saying that Leo pushed Bella and without any support and due to hard push, Bella fell directly in the floor with a thud. She looked at Leo, his eyes were full of hatred.

Bella didn't speak a word. She let Leo vent his curses until he spoke softly,

"Cindy treated you as her best friend."

Bella couldn't bear it anymore.
