Chapter 74: 73. THEY ARE THE EVANS
“Angel.. Bella.."
In the dim bedroom, there was a man’s affectionate call, and that name became the most beautiful love word. Bella turned to face Henry. For some reason Bella was able to sleep without getting nightmares.
Bella gently hugs the man bringing him closer to her body. This hug is the most direct aphrodisiac Henry can ever have. His eyes were getting brighter and brighter, and his heart was about to jump out of his chest with joy,
"Bella... I love you.. my angel.. my life."
Bella bears everything, resting her head on his shoulders, letting him take her in his strong arms. While keeping her second hand on his chest. Bella kept her head low in the place where he can’t see, in her eyes, Mocking sneer.
'I will bear everything till I find my way out of here.'
She said to herself. But without realizing Bella fell asleep. She woke up in the middle of the night, with a broad chest in her view. She got scared. She laughed coldly. Eyes fully open now, looking at the ceiling. Every night it's the same thing, waking up again once Henry is asleep and spending entire night awake.
From the corner of her eye, she looked out of the window. Heh~ Their stood the familiar iron gate, same road where she sat naked entire night, begging for mercy. The only difference today is that this room more luxurious but today also she has no freedom to express herself.
She then looked at Henry who was still asleep, with the slight smile on his face. Bella knew that Henry was happy by seeing her defeated. And this smile was his victory smile.
'How can I let myself fall asleep in his arms?'
At dawn, she closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.
“Get up, it’s dawn, Angel.”
He pushed her slightly. Bella turned over and looked as though she hadn’t slept enough,
"I’m sleepy, can I not sleep? I want to sleep."
There was a bit of nasal sound, Henry was happy, this woman seldom acted like this with him, so she was generous. Henry wanted to spoil her. He wanted her to have everything that she desires in the world. With only one condition that she must always stay with him.
“Okay, go to bed. I will let aunt a
Rose to help you if you need something, remember to sleep and eat.”
“Uh, uh.”
The quilt covered most of her head, and her hair was half covered, revealing only a little skin. Henry's eyes softened and he reached out and rubbed her hair,
“Good.”
The bedroom light were switched off and after a while, there was a slight sound of closing the door. The woman in the quilt moved and opened the quilt covering her head, revealing her indifferent eyes.
She didn’t move from her bed. It wasn’t until she heard the sound of the car starting downstairs that she got up from the bed and stood by the window, watching the car drive out of the manor with cold eyes.
There was a very light knock on the door outside and people seemed to be afraid that the knock on the door would startle anyone.
Bella walked barefoot to open the door, the door opened, a small maid came rushing inside.
Her name was Nina, she was granddaughter of Rose. She started working her only to pass her time as it was her college winter break. She loved this house and luxury provided in it.
She was an ambitious girl. She wanted to achieve high but with less trouble. She was undoubtedly beautiful, charming with a pure face. But inside her soft face was a wicked woman who was ready to do anything to get what she desires. And her only desire was Henry Jackson.
She really didn't plan to marry him as she knew her status won't allow it but was she was planning was to become his lover, his mistress. She knew about Cindy and how she was spoiled by Henry. Nina wanted to be same.
She hated Bella from core of heart but knew every well that Henry loved this woman hence she couldn't do anything. One day she caught Bella eating some tablets which was hidden in her closet. Nina had a bmhabit of eavesdropping and hiding behind the doors.
Taking advantage of Bella not being at home, she went to the closet and saw the tablet box which contained only one more tablet. She was shocked to see that the medicine that Bella just took was a contraceptive. Later Nina confronted Bella.
Two months back-
Bella looked at a girl of almost her age standing in her room looking at her viciously. Bella waited for her to say something but the girl didn't open her mouth. Bella knew that she was granddaughter of house keeper Rose. They had met few time before.
"I know what you are hiding in the closet."
Said the girl.
"and what is it?"
"Bella..."
She didn't cared and she didn't even call her madam or Mrs. Jackson.
"I know you have been eating contraceptives. Can you imagine what will happen if I tell this to master?"
"What do you want Nina?"
She looked at her up to down. There was not even a single sign of scare on Bella's face. She walked upto Nina and spoke again.
"You think I don't know that you stand behind the door and hear and see everything!
You think I don't know how you try your best to seduce my husband!
You think I don't know how many times you had mixed aphrodisiacs in his night milk!"
Shocked to hear all this, Nina asked again,
"H.... how do you all this?"
"I know alot more then this Nina. Best the funny part is that you mix the aphrodisiacs and Henry had sex with me. Over... and over again, whole night."
Bella emphasized on each and every word. She wanted to see Nina's reaction and she was right. Nina clenched her hand and looked at Bella in anger.
"Anyways Nina, I am not your enemy. You are a smart girl and I am sure you know everything about me and Young master Jackson. "
Nina nodded in yes but didn't say a word.
"You are free to do whatever you want. I won't come in your way and you won't come in mine. And I am sure as you are planning to be my husband's mistress, you surely would mind me becoming pregnant. Right ?"
Gently pursing her lips, she stretched her hand and took out the pill box from her closet.
“You don’t want me to be pregnant with his child. Like you, I don’t want it either.”
Nina was surprised,
“I don’t believe it!”
“Believe it or not. But Thats the truth. And you will help me keep this a secret."
“You really don’t want to ruin the Jackson family’s heirs? I don’t believe it! How can there be women in this world who are unwilling to give birth to the Jackson family’s children?!”
'At least, I would never be unwilling.' thought Nina.
Bella did not say a word, opened the oil paper, revealing a white pill in the oil paper, a pill the size of a soybean, she stuffed it into her mouth, did not even drink water, and let the pill melt away in her mouth a little bit.
Bitterness filled the mouth. No matter how bitter it is, there is no comparison with the bitterness in her heart.
She looked at Nina. I can't go out often and pills are ending. You will go and buy them for me from now onwards."
"And you won't come in between me and master."
"Do as you please." ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Flashback ended.
Bella stretched her hand infront of Nina and the latter immediately gave her a medicine box. It was her new box of contraceptives.
“I took advantage when my grandma feel asleep. I sneaked up. For some reason grandma has guarded against me since yesterday. So I think we will have less chance of contact in the future. Well take this also."
Nina handed her another bottle of contraceptives and one empty bottle labeled as multivitamins. Bella looked at it in confusion.
" These are almost 2 months supply and now you empty the bottle into this empty one which has multi vitamin label on it. I dont want master to know about this. I don't want anything to come in between me and him.
Bella glanced at the white bottle in her hand, a very ordinary white bottle but with a label,
"It must be hard for a woman like you to be thoughtful and you specially made a bottle with a label on it. I am impressed.”
As she said, the weird smile at the corner of her mouth quickly disappeared. When she raised her head again, it looked like a robot without emotion,
“Then thank you Nina."
After speaking, she asked Nina to leave and she closed the door. Outside the door, Nina’s face was complicated.
Bella unscrewed the lid and poured out a white pill, just like yesterday, gently holding it in his mouth, allowing the pill to melt away, and the bitterness spread. Smile softly, tears overflowing.
Child?
Family??
Portrait???
The person who sent her to jail now wants her to give birth to him? The person who took everything from her wants a family with her?
The pill in the mouth completely turned into bitter water and entered her throat. Together with the tears that overflowed from the eyes. They were extremely salty, overflowing into the lip cavity, bitterness and saltiness mixed. Bella then immediately changed the bottles.
Next day at the Same time, Bella took out her bottle and took another pill as always. She then looked at her bottle saying multivitamin and smiled then threw in into the drawer of the dressing table.
"What were you eating?”
Henry suddenly appeared at the door.
Bella’s trembled with a shock. After a moment of panic, she regained her consciousness,
“Vitamin tablets, I had asked Nina to bring me the vitamin tablets the day before yesterday.”
As She said so, Henry walked in, took the medicine bottle out of the drawers, looked at it, and the suspicion in his eyebrows disappeared. And after thinking about it again, Nina did seemed to be friendly and she does goes out alot.
"Why didn't you ask Carson to send them over?"
As he was talking, they was a knock at the door. Henry and Bella looked over at the same time. Bella felt relieved that may be this will distract Henry,
“What’s the matter?”
Henry put down the medicine bottle in his hand, and turned to ask Nina who was standing at the door.
"Sir there is a family who wanted to met you and madam."
"A family?"
Questioned Henry.
"THEY SAID THEY ARE THE EVANS."
