Its Too Late To Forgive

Chapter 46: 46. I WILL SLEEP WITH YOU

Last few months have been really torturing for Bella. From Tiffany to Sheela and not to mention Henry. All of them have drained her energy to nil. She always felt that her life was same like how it was inside the prison.There she was physically tortured and here outside she is, both, emotionally and physically tortured. But life must go on.

It was yet another beautiful spring morning. Unusual for Bella but today it was her monthy day off and for the first time, in so many months of her job, she actually availed this break.

After doing her morning course, Bella dressed up and thought of going out of the dorm for a change. She picked up her bag and came out of her house.

Standing outside the house, Bella realized that she actually have no place to go. She has no family, no friends, no social life. Thinking about this Bella laughed softly on herself. She actually still have all of this but no one wants her. A small tear fell from corner of her eyes.

She felt depressed and turned to go back into her room. That place was her home. A place where she always felt safe. But before she could turn and leave, a couple came up to her and asked,

"Madame, we have been told that there is a central park nearby. Can you guide us till there?"

Bella immediately took two steps back, lowered her head and without a word simply shook her head in 'No'. The couple looked at each other and then at her and with some understanding, amongst each other, they simply left Bella there without asking anything further.

Bella raised her head as soon as the couple turned. She saw their retreating figure. She stared at them for a while. The girl was petite but extremely beautiful and the boy, who must be around 6 feet was very handsome. Both of them looked happy and good together. They sat on double decker bicycle and left. Seeing them flashes of her past came infront of her and for a second she imagined the girl to be herself and boy - Henry Jackson.

This thought remained for not more then a minute in her mind and soon she remembered that she is yet to collect eight million bucks that she needs to pay to Henry for her freedom.

She thought of looking for the same park that the couple spoke about and relax there for a while. Soon after finding the park, Bella sat on cool green grass in a secluded place and started observing all the people around her.

Most of them were all almost around her age, 22 years. Girls full of youth and boys super energetic. Few kids were running around and their parents were chasing them. Bella smiled seeing the kids enjoying with their family and suddenly she started missing someone dearly.

"Well if you really have something interesting in your mind, then you can surely share. Something that is making you smile....."

Suddenly someone spoke from behind, making Bella jump a bit. Before Bella could turn and see who it is, that voice came closer and the whole person came and sat next to her.

"You look beautiful when you smile."

The person spoke while removing a dead leaf from her hair.

"You must smile often...."

Saying this that person relaxed and lay down on the grass near Bella. For sure the person looked tied. The original energetic aura was missing. He had developed little beard and presence of these prominent dark circles clearly showed how tired that person must have been.

"Young master Morris...."

Before Bella could speak further, Jason pulled her towards him. Bella was caught off guard and she fell on the grass right next to Jason. Jason took this to his advantage and rolled and came above Bella.

"What did you call me?"

He asked Bella in his usual commanding voice.

"Young master Morris..."

As soon as Bella finished her sentence, her lips felt something warm on it. Her eyes widened because of this sudden attack. She tired to push Jason away but failed. Jason held her hands tightly on his chest by one hand. His other hand on the grass supporting his body not to fall on Bella completely.

His kiss was short but was full of desire and warmth. He missed these lips so much that even he couldn't imagine. He didn't know what was so special about them! They were rough, they were broken, they were pale... but for him, they tasted heaven.

This woman is an addiction, these lips are addiction. For him she is a poison and so are these lips and he wants all for himself alone. He wanted more of them but he knew that he was in a public place and knowing his limits , he stopped reluctantly.

Once Jason moved away from Bella, she was staring at him with so much of quarries on her face.

"Let's set some rules here...

First, always close your eyes when I kiss you...

and Second call me Jason and not young master Morris."

"But... Young master..."

Bella interrupted Jason but before she could say further, she was interrupted by Jason. The difference being that this interruption was by a kiss.

"Whenever you call me anything other then Jason, you will be kissed. So, you can try it yourself too..."

said Jason while winking at her. Bella was taken back by these lines. She thought being an employee of LAS DEUX club and he being one floor owners, isn't it obvious that she should call him atleast sir.

"Thinking about taking a trial my Lil bunny..."

...teased Jason while raising his eyebrows. Bella's entire face was red due to blushing and she kept numb.

Jason was extremely happy seeing her tomato red face. But he became sad and pouted his lips automatically thinking that he won't get a kiss again. On seeing this kiddish reaction of Jason, Bella could help herself from laughing.

"You look beautiful when you smile."

Jason said while holding Bella's hands and looking deep into her eyes. Bella felt a bit nervous and uncomfortable in this close situation and without thinking, © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

"Young master ....." came out of her mouth.

Jason was happy by hearing this and he immediately bent down and kissed

her on her lips. Bella was numb.

"I told you. Didn't I? You call me anything other then Jason and I will kiss you.

My rule number Two."

Jason said with a big smile on his face while taking out two fingers and pointing, showing off infront of Bella.

"But why should I obey your rules?"

Even though Bella said this with determination, her head was still down.

"Because I am your beneficiar right now."

This sentence made Bella even more confused. Seeing her confused looks, Jason explained,

"See, I know now you are working as an attendant at LAS DEUX ...."

Hearing this Bella automatically lowered her head. Jason saw this and he placed both his hands on her cheeks and raised her head. He gently placed a kiss on her forehead and explained,

"As you are an attendant, it's much easier for me to be with you. You see now I can take you out whenever and wherever I want to. I just need to ask for you and you are with me."

"......."

"I understand that you need money also. So I spoke to your PR manager Sheryl that whenever we go out I shall pay you a tip personally."

"You don't have to do it. I will come out with you whenever you want me to."

Bella accepted that she needs money but deep down even she wanted someone to talk to, someone who would care about her and somehow she always felt that Jason will never hurt her.

After all Bella was still 22 years old girl who never experienced anything in her life. Her first half of her life went loving Henry, who was always indifferent towards her. Later years of her life went being a sex doll for Henry and lot of others. She never experienced what it was like having a male as a friend or may be as a companion.

She was deprived of love and security. These simple acts of Jason really touched her heart and knowingly or unknowingly she started feeling comfortable in his company.

"So are we good now?" enquired Jason. And in response Bella nodded her head in a yes.

"Great .. now sleep with me."

"........."

Saying this, Jason pulled Bella towards him while lying on the grass. He made a hand pillow and placed Bella's head his shoulder. And grabbed her waist by the same arm.

"Now close your eyes and enjoy this cool fresh breeze and relax your body."

Feeling Bella's stiff body, he turned towards her and to ease the atmosphere between the two he spoke in a very teasing manner,

"Did you get some other idea when I asked you to sleep with me?"

"......"

Bella was embarrassed. Her entire face was red in colour. Jason found this reaction to be very cute. He didn't say further and once again lied on the grass, held Bella even tighter and closed his eyes.

Eventually after lying down stiffly for half an hour or so, Bella's eyes became heavy and slowly slowly even she drifted in a sleep. Within minutes, soft snoring could be heard from her side. Jason opened his eyes as soon as he heard her snooring. He had never slept actually but was surely enjoying this moment being alone and so close with Bella.

After about two hours finally Bella opened her eyes and meet with pair of dark Grey eyes which were full of desire and love. Jason softly moved his hand on her hair and spoke,

"Wake up now Bella. It's been two hours, you must be hungry now. It's lunch time."

While helping Bella to get up, he offered he,

"Let's go and eat something."

Bella did not decline his offer. While they walked towards a near by restaurant, Bella was happy and surprised both with the fact that after years of sleepless nights, she was finally able to sleep without having a nightmare.

This routine continued for few days. Daily during the afternoon hours when it was off work for Bella, Jason would come and take her to the same secluded spot in the park. They lie down together and sleep under the tree's dark shadow, feeling the cool breeze touching their entangled bodies.

After that Jason made sure to take her for a lunch where he used to have normal food and Bella only ordered a soy milk or an ice cream. First two days, Jason ordered various food for Bella to enjoy but after she told him about her throat's condition, he never forced her again. Infact it was his idea only to try to eat ice cream and Bella agreed and to her surprise it didn't hurt her throat too.

LAS DEUX :

Bella was waiting for her elevator to come so that she can take an order upto the 5th floor when she suddenly heard a female screaming. Bella immediately turned and started walking towards the source of the voice. To her the voice seemed to be a bit familiar.

After walking for a bit she reached upto the staircase and she could see two big men pulling a girl towards the basement parking. Bella panicked. She immediately kept trolley of food on one side and started following the men.

What always feared Bella was that , that no woman should be treated the way she was by other men. The first thought of 'rape' came in her mind and she started walking as fast as she can towards the men.

When she came closer to them, the woman screamed her name,

"Bella , help me..."

To Bella's surprise this woman who was being hostage was none other then Sheela and the man holding her by her arms was Martin Li. Bella was confused by seeing this. As she was sure Martin was not a type of man who will sexually abuse a woman. But still by her own experiences she can't trust anyone.

"Sir, please let her go." Bella requested Martin.

Martin was also surprised to see Bella there but at the same time was also impressed by her bravery to come forward and help another woman in a situation like this.

"Miss Evans please don't interfere into this matter." Martin replied respectfully.

"This is against the law of the club and I can complain about you to...." Before she could finish, Martin interrupted.

"Complaining won't help Miss Evans. This is young master Jackson's orders."

"Henry's....."

Bella said very softly. But ofcourse being Military trained since childhood Martin could hear it properly.

"Yes, Miss Evans .. it's his orders."

Martin always liked Bella and infact he was the one who still believed that Bella didn't do anything as claimed by others. For him she was still like a little sister but his master was Henry Jackson and he had to obey all his orders.

"Bella... Bella.. save me. Young master Jackson always favored you. He even punished Tiffany and Jenny for you. Please speak to him and ask him to relieve me."

Sheela was now in tears and looked miserable. Bella had never harmed anyone in her life. Whatever the reason may be, Sheela was also an attendant in the club who was also selling her dignity and herself for money. Bella pitted her and turned towards Martin.

"What are his orders?"

Martin didn't wanted to hide anything. Hence after Bella asked, Martin told her the orders that he had till now.

"He had just asked us to take her hostage and put her into a car and wait for further orders."

After a pause, he spoke again,

"Master is still on the 30th floor."

"Bella... please go and save me. I trust you. I am putting my life in your hands. Please save me. I promise I won't cause any trouble for you and will leave this club and go to my hometown."

Martin Li was still pulling Sheela’s arm in his hand. Sheela watched the car approaching them and door opening and hurriedly shouted,

“Bella Bella! You must help me! I know you have the softest heart, you can’t see me miserable, right? ? right?”

Martin glanced at Sheela boredly, then turned to Bella and said,

“Miss Evans, you don’t owe her. So there is no need to ask for such a woman."

At the moment the car door closed, Bella said seriously,

“I know.”

Bella immediately left that place and rushed towards 30th floor. She didn't wanted another female to suffer on her name. She knows what's it's like to live a life with a broken sole and she surely didn't wanted that for any other person.

As soon as Bella left, Martin called Henry and informed him that Bella was on her way to his floor to speak about Sheela’s matter. Henry was happy that he will be seeing Bella after almost a week but at the same time was sad knowing that she is not coming to see him personally for him but to defend another woman.

Bella got on the elevator and passcode for the 30th floor was already sat and with jet speed the elevator went up and stopped at Henry's floor, the topmost 30th floor.

"Mr. Jackson I’m here to speak to you.”

For some unknown reason, the main lights in the living room were all turned off at the moment, only a few wall lamps were on. The lights were cool but dim. Henry was sitting on the calf leather sofa near floor to ceiling window. His arms were lazily placed horizontal on the armrest of the sofa. Between the fingers the scarlet red light of the cigarette flashed out.

Bella wanted to escape. She also took a half step backward without knowing it.

At this time, a chuckle could be heard

“Sit.”

“.....…”

The man on the sofa pointed to another single sofa opposite to him.

“Aren’t you here to intercede for someone else?”

“…Hmm.”

Bella walked over slowly, and sat down opposite the man.

“You sat here just because I said so. Or...?” However, the man opposite said again.

It was him who asked Bella to sit, and it was him who said the other line too, making it clear that he was making things difficult for Bella.

“You are the big boss, I am working for you, so I have to be obedient.”

The man siiting on the sofa simoly smiled thinking that he must have heard the most hilarious joke… Must be obedient?

Who?

She? Bella Evans... Miss Evans??

Henry suddenly raised his hand and supported on the armrest of the sofa while also supporting his chin. Leaning on the armrest of the sofa, with a handsome face on his side, his eyes quietly falling on the opposite side. On the Woman's face.

As time passed bit by bit, Bella began to fidget.

And the man’s eyes never left her. The light was too dim, and she couldn’t see the emotions in his eyes. She occasionally raised her eyes carefully and saw only a pair of dim light.

Time passed for several more minutes and she couldn’t sit still. She raised her head and said,

“Young Master Jackson, I’m here to intercede for someone…”

The man on the sofa let out an

“um”

and said lazily,

“I know, am I waiting for you to speak. Am I not?”

Bella was stunned. She could not grasp the situation in such a short period of time. It took three or four seconds before she realized that the big boss had been sitting in front of her just waiting for her to start speaking for Sheela.

This misunderstanding… is a little embarrassing for her. Her ears were red and hot, she didn’t know that at this moment, not only her ears were hot, but her neck was hot red too.

She didn’t know, but the man on the opposite sofa saw all her actions and changes in her eyes and body.

Inexplicably, something was burning in those narrow and long phoenix eyes.

“I want to plead for forgiveness on behalf of Sheela.”

“Say the key point.” The deep voice was slightly dull.

“Can you let her go?”

The man’s lips were slightly lifted, and his eyes were ironic

“Bella, Ahhmmm....

Miss Bella Evans! What should I say to you? She set you up and you are here begging me to forgive her? She hurt you, and you still intercede for her?

This time she didn’t kill you. You are still going to give her a chance to make another move. Harm you? What can I say about you?

What is the word that is popular on the Internet now a days? .... What is it called… Oh ya… Virgin Mary.

Since when did Miss Bella Evans who has always done things in a clear cut manner turn into such a hypocritical plaything?”

Bella buried her head. Her eyes were indifferent. The clean and neat Miss Bella Evans? Clear cut manner??

Who??? She????

“I don’t know the person you are talking about Mr. Jackson.”

The man squinted suddenly. Staring at her. Does she deny what she used to be just like that?

“That girl called Sheela set you up loke that and you still have to intercede for her and beg me to forgive her?”

Henry’s voice suddenly turned cold,

“I don't care with you want to act like 'Virgin Mary' but truly you are Bella Evans. What are you going to put on the table pleading on her behalf You! Kneel?”

He asked in a cold voice, and then smiled sarcastically,

“Bella, your knees are no longer worth.”

“I know.”

She said in her rough voice, and she raised her head,

“I'm offering myself.”

Henry suspected that he was temporarily deaf,

“What? Say that again.”

“I WILL SLEEP WITH YOU Young master Jackson.”
