Chapter 58: 58. MY CHILD DIED IN THERE
Jason fisted his hands that were resting by his sides even tighter now. He wanted to believe her but .... so many people were claiming that she was guilty. Perhaps there could be some sliver of truth when it was just Henry Jackson accusing her. However, if her own family members were saying that she was guilty... Jason wanted to believe her but he was unable to!
He just then looked back at Alora Hush, who was standing confidently at her place and then at Brandon who kept his head down continously. He then accidently saw Henry. He looked at Henry and waited for him to say something but after getting no respond from him he turned back and his eyes landed on the woman infront of her.
He could not forgive her lies. He could not accept that his proud self had fallen in love with a heartless woman. Even though Bella had never done anything to hurt him but at this moment he forgot about all these things.
He was just furious beyond measures at this point. The pride and arrogance in his heart made him unable to accept that the first woman he devoted himself to turned out to be so shameless and despicable.
"Bella"
Jason lifted her chin and made her face him straight.
"I, Jason Morris, young master Morris, am the heir of Morris Industries. As long as I wave my fingers, I'll have numerous women pouncing at me.
Bella, what kind of woman do I lack? I have eaten plenty of delicacies, so I wanted something plain and simple for a short moment."
He left her chin and pushed her. Bella became imbalanced and fell on the floor. He raised his chin and then looked on the lowly woman on the floor.
Just as Bella feel down, Claire and Sophia came forward to help her. Claire held her shoulder and just then Bella kept her hand on Claire's hand. The latter understood that this just meant that Bella needs strength to face all the accusation and all the harsh words that were to come from Jason's mouth. She didn't move her further.
" I had been playing with you. Don't take this to heart."
He then turned and walked towards Sara who was standing along with Mia. He then held Sara in his arms and asked Bella.
"You know who she is? She is my fiancée, Sara Kol. Just look at her beauty and look at your's! Have you ever seen yourself in the mirror?
Do you think a man like me will ever like an ugly witch like you??
You were just my one night toy. And I'm sure you know very well with whom I was yesterday night. Ya...."
As Jason was saying , Claire and Sophia helped Bella to stand straight. Jason then bent down and gave Sara a long sensual kiss on her lips.
Everyone also noticed Henry and Mia went and stood next to him while wrapping her arms around his.
Claire couldn't help but notice what a scene it was. On one side of the room there stood the most powerful people of City A coupled, Young master Jackson with his fiancée Miss Lopez, Young master Morris with his fiancée Miss Kol then Young master Lynch with his girlfriend Miss Hush and not to
forget Young master Evans along with his wife Mrs. Evans. And also, even though he was alone, Young master James. A perfect picture, if taken, could be sold for billions of bucks.
But all these strong people stood infront of a humble weak woman, Bella Evans. This clearly shows the power and aura that Bella must be possessing once. That they needed to be together to beat her. Claire wanted to laugh but possibly couldn't.
Her disappointed gaze met with Jason's and she looked away. She was angry on all of them. She wanted to scream on them. But she possibly couldn't. She was an outsider but she still believed in Bella but they were all her own but still they couldn't. How hilarious!!
After this Jason left the booth with confidence and ease. Bella's gaze was glued to his back. That back looked awfully familiar. She did not even remember how many times this man had held her hand and guided her through her dark times.
However, at this moment, his back looked so foreign. Bella watched this figure walk away until it disappeared from her vision completely.
Then, her gaze landed on Brandon who was standing with Vivian. He was looking embarrassed. However, in less than a second, her gaze shifted away from Brandon. Her family members couldn't provide warmth but instead were the weapon people used against her, hence Bella was better off without them.
Brandon tilted his head on one side. He did not want to stay a second more. He turned around , held Vivian's wrist and walked away.
Alora felt extremely pleased with herself.
'Bella, I want to know who else will compare me to you after this. I want to see how arrogant you can be! You should just rot underground without ever coming out.'
With a loud thud, Alora kicked the box that was full of money next to Bella. She was speaking as if she was offering alms,
"this money is yours."
Before she could speak further, her phone rang and she had to rush out. She kissed her boyfriend and gave Mia a smile and walked without glancing at Bella again.
Just then Sara recalled something and with excitement she grabbed Mia's hand and spoke loudly to Henry.
"Young master Jackson, you put her into the prison when she did something wrong with your girlfriend right! Then tell how will you punish her if she has done something to harm your fiancée."
At this moment both Henry and Mia looked at Sara with confusion. Finally Sara explained.
"This woman here, so called Miss Evans tried to poison me and Mia by throwing rodents on us."
She then looked at confused Bella and even more confused Mia.
"Oh Mia how can you forget. Few months back , don't you remember an ugly and hideous looking dame entered your aunt's bakery and did not speak a word but purchased a piece of bread and a bottle of water."
Mia still seemed as if she was trying to run through her memories. Just then Sara patted on her hand.
"Don't you remember that aunt had to get the entire area cleaned and sprayed because all the costumers there felt filthy sitting there, after she left."
Mia now seemed to remember everything.
"Oh yes.... Oh shit.. Oh shit...Yes I remember."
She held to Henry's hand tightly.
"Yes, yes... Henry. I remember now. It was Young master Thomas's marriage that month and we all had come to the country from US.
You had invited us to gather as a couple at LAS DEUX. My far aunt's Cafe was nearby so me and Sara decided to meet her before coming over to the club.
When we left the Cafe which was infected by a stinky sick looking female, we decided to walk our way back to the club. But this vicious black hearted woman could not stand our grace and hid beside a garbage dumpster.
As soon as we crossed it she threw two big rats on us. One of them even bit me. I still have my medical records and after that I had to take anti rabies vaccine too. Henry..."
She held Henry's hand tightly and started crying. Ofcourse she was lying but she had to look natural so she deliberately wiped in between.
"I still have my prescription with me. The injections were so painful and I was so terrified.....
Sob.. sob...
The doctors even said that if I.had delayed further then I would also dies because of rat bite poisoning.
Sob... Sob...
That time I couldn't find her but now as she is here please give me justice. Throw her into the prison. Let her pay for my pain. Let her get punished and learn a lesson for hurting others."
Henry was not exactly interested in what Mia was saying and demanding. He really didn't care about everything that had just happened. His mind of already occupied with anger on Bella.
First thinking that how low she went and agreed to do stripping infront of others. Then seeing hickeys and bite marks on her body made him furious and what made him most angry that , even when she saw him in the booth her eyes were fixed on Jason.
The way she was looking at Jason was as if she was looking at her love , her only ray of hope. He hated those looks. That look belonged all to him.
And now he was even more angry thinking that this woman was ready to sit near the garbage dumpster but did not come to him. And on top of that ever since they have met this woman is doing everything possible to run away from him.
His ugly woman still held charm which can seduce so many young masters. First Alen, then Jason and ofcourse he understood that those hickeys were not just for act but real lust coming from Lynch. He hated this. He hates her for seducing so many people. Whenever she was with him and he was making love with her ( according to him) she was like a dead fish but what about when she was with others.
Once again his anger took over his brains. He held Mia close to him, wiped her tears and promised,
"Yes, She will be punished for everything she had done. Don't worry. I will teach her a lesson."
"Young master J..."
But before Claire could speak and tell him that use of brains for once, how can a wild rodent running on the road and coming out of garbage be Bella's fault. And why can't he see that Mia and Sara are both framing Bella clearly.
"No.... Don't......"
Bella rushed over towards Henry.
Seeing Henry agreeing with Mia for punishing her by putting her back in the prison, her heart suddenly fell into infinite panic!
She knew that when she was Miss Evans , Henry could easily put her into the prison without hesitation and now she is nothing it won't be hard for him to do so again.
She thought that if she went in again this time, she might not be as lucky as she was last time. She would die in it! And she can't. Someone was waiting for her for a long time. She has to escape from here and not go back into the prison.
"No... Don't....."
Suddenly she ran up and rushed to Henry like crazy! She knelt infront of him and grabbed his trousers leg and begged ,
"Young master Jackson, I didn't harm her. I didn't do anything. I beg you to believe me once. As long as you don't put me into the prison again I promise that I will never return to city A in my life and I will never appear before you in my life."
The terrible memories of the last four years that she spent in the prison and the panic of getting back into the prison made her totally unable to control herself. At this moment, all her cowardice broke out!
Claire and Sophia came up quickly and tried to pull her away. But she clung to Henry's leg and begged him,
"Please Young master Jackson, I promise. Please don't put me back into the prison. I've already spent 4 years inside the prison and I've lost everything in there.
My self, my body, my dignity and my 1st child. I don't want to go in there again. I beg you please. Please forgive me this time."
She didn't know what she was talking. She was going on and on speaking. She couldn't see that after hearing this Henry's pupil shrunk violently. He looked hesitant.
Mia seemed to have noticed this. She took him in her arms and said,
"Henry, if you don't punish her now. I'm really afraid that I won't be so lucky next time...."
Henry this, Henry lifted his foot and threw her away like a pestilence and left with Mia in his arms, after giving a meaningful look to Martin. Sara followed them too.
Alen who was standing alone all along felt pity for the lost woman infront of her. He knew that this was not his place where he should speak. It was years back agony and he can't speak in between this matter.
Even though he was looking at Bella but throughout the scene he couldn't stop himself for looking at a beautiful standing and supporting this humble girl. He locked that face in his head and thought of asking Claire about this girl later and left that place followed by Martin.
Because of the loss of fulcrum, Bella fell to the ground as a whole. She supported herself with her hands but now her arms felt very weak and she fell heavily.
Before Claire or Sophia could support her, her forehead knocked on the floor tile and it seemed to have a broken shin.
Even so, she was happy.
Young master Lynch, who was now the only person left there in the booth along with Claire and Sophia, watched Bella as she lay on the ground giggling with a complex look on his handsome face.
He came upto her and helped her stand up. But ofcourse Claire and Sophia held her before that. Claire murmered to Sophia to go down and prepare some clothes for Bella. And Sophia left too.
"Uffff ~ some party it was! Well, I didn't know that you're one of the Evans and has a past like this. That was really out of my expectations. You're even more unbearable than I imagined."
Bella, did not say anything. She stood up straight after getting support from Claire.
"Here, five hundred thousand bucks"
There was a cheque around Lynch's long and lean fingers which he just took out of his pocket. It was presented infront of Bella.
"I'm giving this to you as your tip. I watched such an interesting play because of you. It was so exhilarating."
As he said that, he grabbed Bella's hand and stuffed the cheque into her hand. Bella lowered her eyes, her gaze landing on the cheque. Bella lifted the cheque and did not even look at it. She flicked it and it landed on Lynch's foot.
Her crackling voice said,
"Thankyou for your generosity , Young master Lynch. However, I don't need this."
She looked at Claire and Claire nodded her head. Bella was feeling numb in her legs. She dragged her useless leg and walked out of the room slowly. She took one step at a time. She did not turn around, nor did she pay attention to the pair of eyes behind her.
She walked towards the back door. She was familiar with this booth. She wanted to avoid if there was anyone outside. She did not go to Claire's office but instead left the club.
She lifted her head and looked at the night sky. She then curled her lips while saying to the sky,
"You see, I didn't cry!"
Who exactly was she talking to? No one knew. She wanted to let Jason know about her past herself. However, he found out about it today through another means. In the end, her goal had been met. It was all the same anyways, she concluded.
But was it all the same?
Then why did she still feel pain??
Did she love Jason Morris???
He was someone who came into her life and told her that he was just here to experience something different in his life. He had even told her not to take all of this too seriously.
Bella wanted to laugh but she couldn't. She yelled at the night sky once again,
"You see? I didn't cry!!"
However, there were not many people in this world who could look at her without despise nor look at her like she was a human. There was none!
That concentrated gaze was gone. That serious face was gone. That sincere face was gone.
Bella started running. After that incident with her legs, it hurt her to run like this. Waves of pain shot from her leg and traveled to her waist. The pain crept up until it was piercing her heart and lungs.
That woman was running while staggering did not notice not knew that she looked exactly like a crippled penguin when she ran.
It was extremely ugly!
In Booth 1001:
Young master Lynch looked at the cheque which was lying on the floor and pressed between his eyebrows. He scoffed and did not bother to pick up the cheque. He lifted his legs and was ready to leave.
Suddenly, a hand reached towards the cheque and picked it up. Claire bent down and picked up the five hundred thousand cheque. She chuckled and scanned the cheque. She wanted to give it back to Lynch but in the end she kept in her bag.
"This five hundred thousand bucks is that idiot's everything. And after satisfying all of you how can I not let her have this money?"
After she said that, she lifted her legs and walked towards the back door. Lynch's heart fluttered. He called out for Claire,
"Wait! Why is the money so important for that woman? She belonged to such a good class of family. Why did she degrade herself so much? I always thought she was a gold digger but today.... ufffff.... she turned out to be something else all together."
Claire laughed softly and did not answer Lynch. When she walked out of the door, she turned around and answered him,
"I am very sure that she did not entrap nor kill anyone. That idiot would not even bother to go to such measures.
You tell me young master Lynch, will you give an ugly woman like Bella a huge tip just for her sitting and seducing or maybe having two or three glasses of wine with you." NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
She then looked at Lynch who himself was into turmoil feelings.
"You don't need to answer this. Have a good day Young master Lynch. This money is nothing for you but for her this is her freedom."
After that Claire picked up her speed. If that idiot had really entrapped or killed someone then she would not be living in such a hellish conditions now. However, she had almost believed those people. They were actually very convincing.
Claire ran down the stairs. She could not leave that idiot all on her own now. However, when she tried chasing her, she could not find her. Impossible, that idiot's legs were not in a good shape, so how could she go down 10 floors so quickly.
She thought about it and then directly went to her office where she was suppose to meet Sophia and Bella. When she entered she looked for Bella and then Sophia asked,
"Where is Bella?"
"Didn't she come here?" asked Claire nervously.
"No she didn't" Sophia replied.
Now Claire was sure that, that idiot was indeed missing!!
