Its Too Late To Forgive

Chapter 72: 71. CIVIL AFFAIRS BUREAU

"Civil Affairs Bureau "

Bella panicked,

“The Civil Affairs Bureau will be off work right now as it's night now.”

The man chuckled,

“You are so naive my angel.”

She seemed to understand the chuckle in his eyes, and became even more panicked. Just then the car stopped at an intersection. Bella reached out and pulled the car door,

“Open the door! I want to get off!”

Bella got out of the car as she wished, but was carried in the car again by Henry's strong arms.

“I won’t get in of car! Let me go! Let go!”

She was carried by Henry's one hand which was almost carrying her entire body weight. She grabbed the car door pitifully and started slamming her feet in the air. But she felt as if her legs touched something solid. Anyway, she didn’t have eyes behind her. Hence she kick the man in panic.

“Heh, wasn’t you the one who wanted to come here?”

Bella immediately regained her senses and stopped moving. She was now scared and was looking at Henry trying to understand what he was saying,

“Before going to prison, you were ready to die if not married to me?”

“That was a mistake. I am correcting it right now.”

Bella started laughing on her own stupidity.The man’s handsome face was flashing, and under the light, his profile became more determined.

“Henry... ,”

she laughed,

“I am correcting my mistakes now. That was my stupidity , my childishness.. I am sorry for everything I said or I did that time.

I really didn't know what was right what was wrong that time. I have learnt my lesson well.

Please let me go. I don't want this anymore. I promise I won't ever utter those words again.

Please spare me now. Let me go.”

The two spoke in a wise manner, the man’s eyes were slightly cold, he ignored her words, and said deafly,

“From today onwards, you will be my, Henry Jackson’s wife and my future children’s mother.”

“Henry Jackson, you crazy man… you are making me sick. I hate you.”

Bella scolded him viciously. The man’s long narrow eyes flashed deep light,

“You are going to marry this person who makes you sick soon!”

“I won’t sign it!”

“Angel, you are been naive again.”

At this time, Bella hadn’t understood the meaning of Henry's words. Why was he calling her naive again and again.

until……

Sitting in the Civil Affairs Bureau, in front of a small lamp.

“I won’t sign it,”

She said lightly, scanning the things on the table. The people in the office were still complaining as it was night and they were called in the office to work and register a VIPs marriage. But now they were all tensed and afraid to speak. Firstly because of the person who was getting married and secondly hearing the refusal of the second party.

The registrar didn’t even dare to look up and take another look at the couple who was sitting infront of him. What kind of marriage is this? This is a force marriage. He has worked diligently on this position for seven or eight years now but never in these years he felt a marriage to be so tensed.

Henry lightly glanced across Bella's face, suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed her hand.

Bella panicked,

“What are you doing. This is illegal, don't you know this.”

“Then go and sue me.”

He grabbed her hand and wrote her name on her paper stroke by stroke. With a few dozen strokes, her name 'Bella E....' appeared on the paper.

“Henry Jackson this is forcing!”

The rough voice called out in a panic. She raised her head towards the registrar like asking for help and also looked at the staff members sitting on the opposite direction and then said

“I don’t want this marriage. Please help me.”

The staff member on the opposite side immediately turned his head aside,

“Miss, this is your personal matter, so why don’t you go to the side to discuss it, and after you discuss it…”

“I am not his wife! This is not a personal matter. You clearly saw it! You saw everything!” Why don’t you say something fair.

She wanted to add the last sentence but her voice stopped abruptly, and she could clearly feel the warm air sprayed on her ears slowly as he approach her, thin lips pressed against her ears,

“Bella you are still naive. You are as naive as you were five years ago.”

Boom!~

Her heart suddenly hurts! Almost crushed like a paper. 'You are as naive as you were five years ago.'

Henry Jackson, altlast you won again!

The hand holding the pen, that had used all her strength to resist, suddenly removed the strength on it, and let the man behind her hold her hand, writing her name stroke by stroke.

'Bella Evans'

“Congratulations to the two of you.”

Everyone present there started congratulating the couple. She listened, but it was very ear-piercing. She didn't know what was happening around her now. She was in a trance.

'I will never get my freedom now. How will I reach you Al. Please me patient and wait for me.'

Bella allowed Henry to take her for a wedding photoshoot. She didn't even notice that Henry had made her hold the red book in her hand while holding the second one in his. He smiled at the staff and handed then red envelopes which he had asked Martin to bring once they had entered the Bureau.

He then held Bella's hand and walked out of the Bureau. May be it was an open environment or the cool breeze that brought back Bella from her trance. She looked at her hand which was held by Henry, she suddenly felt nauseatic and threw his hand away,

“Okay, are you satisfied?

You Won. What did you prove by doing this? Prove that you are omnipotent in heaven and earth? You have proven your dignity, what about mine?”

She raised her fist and hit the man’s stalwart body, his shoulders, his chest, his arms… all the fists that kept falling down like raindrops. Bella is venting, she must vent! She blamed him, so she slammed him with fist after fist.

He did not move, letting the woman’s fist fall on him.

Bella kept on venting her anger but soon the movements became more and more slow. In the end, it took a long time to see her smashing a fist , All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

“I don’t blame you.”

She spoke slowly and said four words and was quite. She blames herself most. She resents her inability. She was carried in by the Civil Affairs Bureau. When she went in, she looked like a warrior

who was defending herself. But when she came out, she was like an eggplant smashed by frost.

She glanced at the red book in Henry's hand, her lips were pale, she bit then so hard that blood stains came out, and she laughed self-deprecatingly.

Yes, she was really naive again like she was five years back. That time he erased her existence and today infront of so many government officials he forcefully me her sign her name and got married.

"Henry Jackson, you won."

She smirked.

"Really, between you and me, I always lost.”

She lost completely. Her voice was painful. The palm of her hand conveyed the heat on Henry's chest. Her heart was extremely cold. Henry could see that she has lost all hopes in her life.

Suddenly, he stretched out his hand and hugged the woman in front of him tightly into his arms. The man’s eyebrows felt a trace of pity, but he said in an extremely overbearing manner,

“Bella, forget the past, forget about everything and live with me forever.”

His words held simplicity and sincereity. If someone familiar with Henry stood near by, would never believe it, such words would come from Henry's mouth, who was arrogant like a wolf.

Bella was also stunned hearing this. She looked at Henry directly in his black eyes that had always scorned everyone who was around. But she saw something different today. There was a trace of pleading that she had never seen since she knew him.

No, no, it must be wrong! She blinked hard, absolutely, she was wrong. The proud lion lowers its noble head , Just to beg her! That can't happen.

“Young Master Jackson wants me to forget everything.”

How dare she forget, how can she forget. He said such a big word in such a light manner, 'Forget'. Her past took away everything from her. How can she forget. Henry Jackson How can you bully people so much?

The corners of her eyes were red and her pale lips are filled with a smile. At this moment, she felt just like a joke!

“What is Mrs.Jackson? I don’t care at all. Can a mere title of Mrs. Jackson make me forget my past?”

Haha…hahahaha…

The smile on the corner of her mouth was even more brilliant. She no longer knew what expression to use to face him and what words to use to express the pain and anger in her heart. Laugh with anger, laugh with pain!

“Young MasterJackson, you are supernatural and capable....."

She raised her head, smiling with tears,

“You have the skills. You can destroy my memory. Please do it Otherwise, I will not forget it. I will not forget it. Ever... ever.. "

She looked at him once again,

"What do you want me to forget? How I loved you?

How I was cheated over and over by you when you have someone else in your life, on your bed??

How was I malhandled by you when you tried to touch me again and again???

How was I raped by you over and over again..????"

Bella took a breath and spoke again,

"Or you want me to forget all that happened with me in the prison because you wanted me to be tortured 100 times more then what Cindy felt?

Please make me forget that I was treated like a dog!

Please make me forget that how I was tied to the toilet pot daily in the morning when my jail mates used it!!

Please make me forget how I was raped by all my female jail mates and warden!!!

Please make me forget how I was forced to eat filth!!!!

Please make me forget how I was chocked with burning coal in my mouth which made me loose my ability to eat or speak!!!!!"

Her throat was hurting now. She was crying and trying to speak. It was getting difficult now. She wanted to say so much.

"Can you make me forget about my unborn child?

Can you make me forget how was I raped daily by multiple man all together??

Can you make me forget how I was whipped daily for not able to drink last drop of man's semen???"

Bella was now tired, emotionally, mentally and physically. She wanted to speak more. She wanted him to know everything that has happened to her in the prison. But now her throat was burning and hurting her alot. She tired but not a single word was coming out. She was in pain. Her tears were sliding down her eyes continously.

The man looked at her regretfully, without missing a single word in his dark eyes, turned around and opened the door of the rear seat, took out a bottle of water and gave it to her.

Bella took the water and sat on the floor near the car door. She drank the water and closed her eyes tightly.

'May be its a bad dream. May be when I will open my eyes everything will be gone.' The method she was using to convince her was the same method Bella used every day when she was tortured in the prison. But it never helped her then and neither helped her now.

Time passed by. Henry had his hands clenched so hard that they were almost white now. His eyes were fixed on the woman who was sitting on the floor leaning against the car. Her eyes were tightly shut but she was continously muttering something. It seemed as if she was arguing with someone in her mind.

Henry looked at Martin who stood little far away from them. But being well army trained, he could hear everything Bella had said. He like Henry could also understand that alot more had happened with Bella that she couldn't put in words and tell him.

Henry and Martin didn't speak a word to each other. It seemed as if they were talking with a mind link. They knew that Bella's each and every wound, each and every scar has it's own story. And now they were determined to find out the truth.

Meanwhile seeing Henry staring continously at Bella , Martin knew that his master was upto something. And he also knew that, that thing won't go well with Bella.

But where so much harm is already being done, doing one more won't make much of a difference. Bella anyways hates Henry so may be she will hate him a little more with this act.

As soon as Bella relaxed and opened her eyes, Henry got up and held Bella's arm and made her stand. He then opened the door of the rare seat of the car and pushed her in.

“what!”

She exclaimed and panicked. Bella fell directly on the seat. Henry took the advantage and pressed his entire body on her. Just then the car started and the central partition was raised. A loud music was started in the car and lights were switched off.

Bella panicked seeing all this.

"Henry what are you doing?"

“Perhaps it's time that we should have a child.”

Henry thought throughly that if they have a child together then the child will help Bella forget everything in the past and live with him in peace and love. He swore to himself that he will shower her with so much of love that his love will take over all her pains.

“Henry, you are crazy!”

The woman screamed coarsely, floating out of the car. But for no use. Within seconds entire car was coveree with the sound of cracking silk.
