City A.......
The shock in Carson’s heart was hard to express in words. He could only listened to his friend’s
inconsist mumbling,
“If it wasn’t that the phone fell down…”......
“If it wasn’t that the bedside table was moved while I was picking up the phone…”........,
With that, Carson already understood what this was all about. When his friend was picking up the
phone, which fell behind the bed's side table, he moved the bedside table and discovered a secret that
had been hidden for many years.
“It would have been great if the phone didn’t fall…”
“It would have been great if I didn’t picked up my phone…”
Carson squeezed his fist and listened to his friend’s frustrated words,
“if” one after another.... again n again and eventually he became anxious.
At this moment, Henry was like a middle-aged man whose wife ran away with someone else and he
lost his job and also his house. He sounded like an old man completely in his late innings. Carson
wanted to punch him with a fist. He was behaving like a frustrated uncle whose son died. Carson really
wanted to talk to this guy with a good reason but… in the end he can’t do anything!
“If… If only I had found out earlier, it would have been fine!”
The man who had been full of negative energy, dejected, scared, was afraid to face the truth finally
shouted out the deepest regret that was burried in his heart!
If... if he would have found out this earlier... would the ending be different?
Would his beautiful wife be beside him at this moment along with his adorable children?
Carson looked at the person in front of him. They were friends for so many years. He doesn't
remember when and how did his friend become a person like this!
His eyes flickered and suddenly he stood up, turned and strode towards the door.
Mr. Shaw, butler of Jackson Mansion, New York, who was now serving Henry for since last 3 years. It
was hard for Mrs. Rose to serve Henry as he was doing everything possible not to stay alive. It was
very hard for her to see the way his young master was punishing himself for not treating Bella
appropriately.
Jackson empire almost collapsed since last 3 years. Henry seldom came out of his and Bella's room.
Whenever he did, he would walk towards his office to hear Martin's latest report on Bella's where about
and her case in the past.
It's been three years now and still no evidence was found on what happened to Cindy that night. Plus
there were no videos and none of the Bella's jail mates testified about her being in the prison for 4 long
years or being tortured.
Henry, in place of going to his company, often went to the prison and stayed in the same room for
hours and hours, where he used to rape Bella daily. Yes, now he has fianlly realized that they never
made love with eachother, as it was always against Bella's wishes. He always raped her. Since the first
time in the car till she ran away from his house after being married to him for months.
Whenever he was home, he would lock himself in his room and drink more and more wine while
looking at the magnificent iron gate through his floor to ceiling French window. Eventhough he refused
to drink and bury his feelings in alcohol 3 years back when Jason offered him to so do. But now
everything has changed. Now Henry's only companion was his loneliness and alcohol. He would drink
to the extent till he vomits out blood and passes out.
Mrs. Rose could not see her young master dying day by day, hence she moved to New York to take
care of Mr. Jack Jackson, who was still in coma and Mr. Shaw moved to City A.
Jack Jackson was in coma since last almost 8 and half years now. He had a massive accident
immediately after Bella was sent to prison by his son. That time he was on his way to the airport to
catch a flight for City A and rescue Bella.
But suddenly his driver lost control of his car and the car dashed with a heavily loaded truck. The driver
died on spot whereas Jack landed in coma. That was the main reason why Henry had to urgently leave
City A and shift to New York that time. He didn't wanted to leave Bella alone in the prison but that time
he didn't had a choice, so he left.
After 3 months, Henry was still caught up badly because of his company's work. It was the day Bella
would be released from the prison, Henry gave Ray the responsibility to bring Bella to US directly from
the prison. But what came back was a blank message that Bella was released a day prior and Ray
could not trace her.
Henry tried everything in his power to find Bella but he couldn't. He even contacted Evans, Anthony
Evans and even he refused. After settling his business completely, he often traveled to City A.
Whenever he came here, he made sure to look for Bella but was never successful.
He even attended Brandon's and Vivian's marriage in order just to see Bella but was surprised that
Bella didn't show up in the wedding either. Few days later he confronted Brandon and the latter told
him that his sister was released from the prison and he doesn't know her whereabouts.
There was no denial that Henry was heart broken that time but as time passed by, he became more
and more engrossed in his business. He wanted something to distract his mind from remembering
Bella. Even though his search for Bella didn't stop , he allotted Ray to be the lead in his search
operation of Bella in City A whereas Martin followed him to New York.
There was a sudden economical crisis and even a strong empire like Jackson and Morris industries
were also affected. That was a time when Henry was literally forced to get engaged to Mia Lopez,
daughter of the biggest business tycoon of US and Jackson empire emerged as the strongest group of
the world and Henry became one of the richest man in the world.
But deep down he always missed something and consciously or subconsciously he knew what was
missing, it was the presence of that girl. Henry hated Bella, not for what she has done to Cindy but
because she was the reason his unborn child, who was in Cindy's stomach, died. Plus when he came
to know about that she purposely caused her abortion, added fuel to his hatred.
Eventhough his feelings for Bella was hatred and not love but not a single day passed by when he
didn't think about her. He hated her for killing two of his children and he wanted to avenge his kid's
death but deep down in his heart he longed to see her again, touch her again, love her again.
He always knew that his feelings for Bella was always complicated. He loved her and only her but in
the end always landed hurting her more and more but this time she has hurted him and for sure he
couldn't wait to meet her again and teach her a lesson for KILLING HIS CHILDREN.
