Its Too Late To Forgive

Chapter 14: 14. THERE IS NO ESCAPE

Thumpppp!!!!

That was the last straw to break the camel's back!! She felt dizzy, her head spun and she slumped onto to the marble floor. And automatically lowered her head.

He was the devil incarnate!!

She has to escape from this devil.

A dark shadow fell over her head, and she knew it's nobody else other then Henry Jackson.

She started trembling in fear, once again she wrapped her arms around her knees, curling up into a ball as she told herself over and over again not to anger this devil.

She would be safe as long as she did not anger him. She had to live. She has a debt to pay.

Bella's head was buried in her chest, hence she could not see the anger burning deep in the man's eyes.

Henry was continously looking down at Bella. He couldn't understand why he wanted to see the old Bella Evans again.

He tried so much but couldn't even see any trace of Bella he had in his memories. This pitiful creature could not equate anywhere to the woman who was madly in love with him.

His gaze was complicated as he said coldly, " Miss Bella Evans, I might let you go. Only if you lower your dignity and beg me."

His sharp eyes were glued tightly on this woman who was curling on the floor like a frightened bunny. Somewhere deep inside, he seemed to be hoping for something but even he did not realize what it

was.

A frightened bunny!!.... "my lil bunny" , he remembered what Jason called her. Suddenly he became furious and screamed, "BEG ME".

Bella's shoulder shook on his voice. She scoffed at herself. What was her dignity to her now? She was convict no. 2409 and not Bella Evans of Evans family. And begging!! Since last 4 years , she has begged for everything, everyone, every minute.

So even if she has to beg one more time to live and be free, she was ready to do so.

Without a second thought, she immediately feel on her knees in front of Henry Jackson and lowered her head till the floor.

"Mr. Jackson sir.. I am begging you sir. Please treat me like a dirt on the road side and scrape me off. "

His shock was unbelievable! How could she be so shameless? She had thrown away her own dignity! That was how far she had fallen!

"Sir, I am a mere cleaner. I clean the toilets and vomitings of all the people.

Sir, you are rich and a dignified man, please don't spoil your hands by touching someone so low and filthy like me."

"Please spare me sir... I beg for your forgiveness."

He could not describe how he felt right now. His face was dark and hard as he slammed his fist into the mirror opposite to him, roaring...

"GET LOST".

Bella was ecstatic. She crawled to her feet like she has just escaped with her life and limped away.

She continously hammered her right leg and inspite of her bad leg, she started running towards the elevator. She was limbing in pain.

Behind her, Henry coldly watched her back, her limbing legs, as she left.

'She didn't turn back even once.' Why? Why didn't she??

"That damned woman"

He slammed another fist on the mirror. He then noticed that there was some yellow coloured liquid present at the place where Bella was sitting. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

'Did she?

Was she so scared??'

Despite her poor health and broken leg, Bella ran for her life. Not even once, did she turn around.

The elevator was going down in speed and soon reached the lobby of the club. The door of the elevator opened with a 'ding'.

Bella did not go into the club but instead ran outside the building. She was escaping for her life and did not care about the inconvenience caused by her legs.

"33, palm street please ,sir"...

.. she stopped a taxi and boarded in.

In normal days, no matter how tired she was and irrespective of the time, Bella would always walk back home. She was always reluctant to spend money.

But today's scenario was different. She gritted her teeth and paid the taxi master.

She rushed towards her dorms and took out the same old cheap bag , that was handed over by club member on the day of joining as a cleaner, from under the bed.

She really didn't have lot of luggage. She quickly packed her stuff which included 2 pair of trousers, 2 plain t-shirts , and 3 sets of undergarments. That's it then she stuffed her bathroom slip-ons. She picked up her ATM card and rushed out.

She must leave, there is no other way.

He hates her, he hates her to core. She knew he won't stop till she dies.

She must escape.

She had to live. She has promised someone. She can't waste her remaining life on this man.

Late in the dark, a limbing figure of a weak woman came out of the house and stopped a taxi.

There was an ATM machine on the opposite side of the community. She inserted her card and with little hesitation took out around five hundred dollars.

She has worked for 4 months now in LAS DEUX. She still had little savings left in the account as most of her money was already transfered to some other account. Even though that was also not much either.

Then she stopped a taxi and said, "Go!!!"

"Where to miss?"

That's when Bella realised that she wanted to escape eagerly but didn't know where to go. She was so engrossed in her own thoughts that she did not see the expression on the taxi driver's face.

He had just come out of a conflict from his wife and parents-in-law and was already in a bad mood.

"Do you want to stay here or leave?"

Bella was still thinking, the world is so big but there is not a small place that's her's.

Taxi driver became more irritated by seeing that the woman was not answering.

"If you don't want to leave then get out of my taxi now. I need to catch another route." , he frowned and said.

"...I .. I am sorry sir, I have not figured out where I have to go. Yet."

Bella said very slowly and apologetically. This made her look very humble and coward.

When the taxi driver saw that she was so coward and weak, he started venting out of his anger of the fight, he had earlier, on her.

He yelled on Bella , "You ugly woman, stopped my car, without a reason...

Do you think I am a fool?

How did your parents teach you. No respect no morals.

Get off my car NOW. You are so ugly, I am sure to be caught in a bad luck today."

Bella automatically looked down. Though he didn't touch her but these 4 years of prison had already made her temperless.

She tried looking up again but as she met with his eyes, she got even more scared. She said humbly,

" I am sorry sir, I will get down of your taxi."

She , in fact, wanted 5 minutes more to figure out where and how to go to her destiny. But for sure the taxi driver was not interested or caring for her.

The driver frooze for a minute. He has been driving this taxi for more then 10 years now, till date he has never seen such a lowly and coward passenger.

Seeing that the door was opening very slowly, he raised his hand towards Bella....

Instantly Bella screamed,

" Don't hit me...."

The driver was stunned for a moment by seeing at his back seat passenger. She was covering her head with both her hands and pleading not to hit her.

"Are you a crazy bitch? I am just opening the door for you, you ugly lunatic woman."

He really didn't care about his words and scold ed Bella non stop.

With that , he started opening the door and screamed, "Get out of here".

Bella was left with no choice. Her movements were slow and she started getting out of the taxi.

The driver sneered and said, "You are so lame bitch."

Bella's heart was shocked, she looked up at the driver slowly and said, "Sir, I am not lame but just slow."

Saying that she stepped out of the taxi. As soon as Bella stepped out of the taxi, the driver caught her with his other hand .

"What?" she asked

"Pay me my money."

"But sir I didn't use your taxi to go anywhere."

"Yes, but you sat in it and wasted my time.

You are ugly and dirty. You are full of bad luck...

I need to wash my taxi before I take another ride...

Pay me for the car wash. Give me 100 bucks, NOW."

Saying that he held her wrist tight. Now Bella was even more scared and puzzled.

"Come on pay me fast..."

Bella's face turned green. A 100 bucks. These four years in prison had completely polished off all the dignity she once had. Now she was not more then just a scared pet.

Suddenly strong flash lights came from behind her. She could vaguely see 3 top model Mercedes benz cars standing on the road and flashing the lights on her.

Through the piercing light, she could see a silhouette of a man as he approached towards her.
