Its Too Late To Forgive

Chapter 3: 3. IT'S ALL MR. JACKSON'S WISH- YOU CAN'T DIE

The women's prison was totally different from what she has imagined. Before entering the prison, Bella was asked to strip all her clothes and was examined by the prison guards.

She felt humiliated but had no one to complain too as the guard told her that this is the routine checkup done for all the new prisoners.

Since last two days when she was in the police station, Henry Jackson came daily in the night and leave after satisfying his hunger. While sitting in the corner of her cell, Bella could not understand this behaviour of Henry. Time passed and without any food and water, Bella slept with a curled body.

But as soon as she feel asleep, guard came in and asked her to come along. They tied a cloth on Bella's eyes and Bella followed her and was led into a room.

As soon as she entered the room, she was caged by her waist by pair of strong arms. Familiar fragrance came in her nose and suddenly she was frightened and started resisting. But those strong iron like arms became tighter and tighter.

Despite her resistance, he carried her directly to the bed and threw her on the bed and pressed on her. He grabbed her neck by one hand, " You wanted me so badly, Where do you want to escape now?"

"I....."

He pinched her neck too tight. She coughed violently.

"Really?" Henry Jackson picked his eyebrows. Though his face was expressionless, his cold eyes were dark as if brewing a storm.

With a snort, he held her crotch tightly in his legs. As soon as he raised his hand, he tore her prisoner's uniform apart.

"No!"

She knew what he was going to do. But she didn't want to! She knew it was a senseless resistance but she still continued. But still that man got what he wanted.

After finishing, Henry Jackson turned back and said, " You know it's useless to resist, I will do as I wish. I will make you suffer 100 times more then what Cindy must have suffered before she died."

Saying that he left, leaving her alone in the room. Few guards came and dragged her stained body into her cell and mercilessly throw her on the floor.

Bella herself does not remember for how many days this continued. Henry came daily but just like a clientele, finished his needs and went away. For initial few days Bella continued to resist but later she stopped.

After 2 months of this ordeal, Henry Jackson never appeared. Bella was so naive that she thought finally she can be at peace.

It's been almost half a month that man appeared last. She slept peacefully in her cell, suddenly a bucket full of cold water was splashed on her and she was dragged out of her sleep.

She was scared and she looked at her jail mates who were staring at her menacingly.

She yelled, "What are you all doing? Don't try to harm me or else I will call the warden.."

The female convicts around her did not seem to be intimidated by her threats at all. Instead they looked at each other and bursted out in a loud laugh.

Their leader, a tall masculin woman of about age of 40, pointed her finger towards Bella and asked, while controlling her laughter, "What did you say missy? .. Did I hear it right?.. You are gonna call the

warden?.. " the leader continued to laugh and asked all her fellow convicts to move aside and made a clear pathway towards the warden's residence.

Then she swung a strong fist at Bella's face mercilessly. "Go on! Call the warden, like you said you would. My sisters have already made a clear pathway for you. Go on.. Go" she roared.

The slap made Bella sway on her feet, her ears were ringing and there was a steam of blood flowing through the left side of her mouth.

With support of the wall, she got up and before she could perfectly regain her balance, she charged on the leader and gave her a tight slap on the face. The leader was not prepared and was caught off guard. She moved two steps behind.

The leader was furious and her eyes were blood red with anger. She wanted to kill Bella then and there.

She roared, "You bitch, how dare you hit me." Who can ever think that this petite delicate looking girl can make such a ferocious woman angry to her core.

The leader had gone mad, "Sisters lets show her, her real place. Beat her as much as you want. Just don't let her die." With this sentence everyone gathered started hitting Bella mercilessly.

Bella managed and ran upto the jailer's office. She turned and saw that no one followed her. She gripped the metal bars tightly and screamed for help, "Somebody please! Please help me! Save me! They are beating me." Still no body came from either side. Bella thought as long she doesn't get beaten again, its OK.

Suddenly the warden's door opened. A beautiful looking woman of around 40 yrs came out. She smiled at Bella and asked her in soft voice, " What happened dear? Did anyone scare you?"

"They are beating me." said Bella with a sign of relief , feeling a little warmth in the warden.

Warden stood straight and asked, "Who is it?" No one replied.

Then she turned to look at Bella's checks which were hit by the leader. And said , " Is this the way you slap?" she pointed on the leader. " Such a waste of a talent." said with disappointment in her eyes. Bella could not understand for whom was this disappointment for!

Bella was confused by the warden's last line and before she could open her mouth to ask the warden about it, a tight palm came and landed on her right cheek.

Bella fell down and for a moment she felt that her ability to hear has gone. Her face was half swollen and clear print of the five fingers where visible on her cheeks.

Warden held her long black silky hair, which was one of the most proudest and prettiest thing for Bella, and made her stand.

Another tight slap landed on her face. All the convict sisters were laughing at this time.

Warden threw Bella ruthlessly towards the sisters and said, " Enjoy your feast which is personally designed by Mr. Jackson. Don't need to hold back and give this fucking bitch our warm welcome.

And make sure she feels 100 times more pain and humiliation but ya don't kill her. " saying that warden walked away.

Bella was shocked beyond imagination. "Feast designed by Mr. Jackson!" Mr. Jackson ... Mr. Henry Jackson. Yes before he left he said he will made her feel 100 times more pain then what Cindy felt. She was completely heart broken.

All her linbs were shaking, while her heart was cold. Her eyes were dry. No wonder no guards came to her rescue. No wonder these huge jail convicts could beat her without any fear.

Now her last dream that Henry had not given up on her completely was shattered into pieces.

"Ah.....!" She was once again pulled by her hair painfully and thrown on the ground face first.

Her entire face was full of dirt.

The every next second she was pulled by her hair again and a series of punching and kicking started.

She was tossed from one person to another. At present she was nothing more then a ragged punching doll for all of them.

She crumbled to the ground, groaning, " Ahhhh..... ahhhhhh.... stopppppp..."

Finally she stopped screaming, letting these people punch and kick her as they wished. After the women grew tired out beating her up, they went back to their cells and went to sleep.

Finally Bella was left alone. She had never been bullied and humiliated before. All she did was to fall in love with a man named Henry Jackson.

Bella curled up on the dirty floor in agony, her tears flowing out of the corner of her eyes, smearing dirt all over her face.

She was innocent but now she understood, as long as Henry Jackson believed she was guilty, then she was guilty for her sins and deserve to die.

She did not have Evan's support, an identification card, an educational background. Now she is just a convict.

Henry Jackson wiped out all her existence proof! Now, Bella Evan was not even Bella Evan, she was just Convict No. 2409!

While thinking about it again and again, she passed out. More because of pain in her heart then her body pain. Last thing that she remembered was the leader's words, "IT'S ALL MR. JACKSON'S WISH - WE HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF YOU BUT YOU CAN'T DIE!"

Next morning when Bella woke up, she found herself to be tied to a toilet seat.
