Its Too Late To Forgive

Chapter 80: 79. SHE IS HIS QUEEN

Before Henry could think about something, Vincent walked upto him and held his shoulders.

Henry immediately threw his hand away as if he is been touched by a plague. He hates this man. It was because of this man's mother that his grandmother died of depression.

"Nephew..."

said Vincent with a full smile on his face which was some what a balatnt provocation to Henry.

"Nephew? My grandmother only gave birth to only to my father. Where did my uncle came from?"

Henry sneered, then he stopped for a second and spoke again.

“Mr. Vincent, the person behind Leo's actions and return, is you, right?”

Otherwise, how could it happen that all of a sudden Leo returned to City A and even had guts to hit Bella. Plus his hesitation few minutes back proved that there was someone behind him.

And by Henry's calculations it can either be his grandfather or his illegitimate child, Vincent.

"Woooo.. you seemed to be growing well Henry! But Leo and me...."

He looked at Leo with anger in his eyes, which disappeared within seconds,

".... you still have a lot to learn my dear Nephew."

"Are you behind all this?"

Asked Henry while clenching his palms into a fist. Vincent gracefully kept his one hand in his tailor made suit and with other he rubbed between his eyebrows and spoke with a smile,

"Behind what my dear nephew."

Henry understood that Vincent's words are not that simple as they appear. He was frustrated and without thinking twice, he punched Vincent right on his face. Even though Vincent was stronger then Henry but he could not dodge this sudden punch and was hit hard on the face.

He cleaned the blood, that dropped from the corner of his mouth, with his thumb. Looked at it for a while then charged Henry with equal force. Both started throwing punches after punches. Eventually they were stopped when both feel on the ground and were held by their respective body guards.

"You better be not involved in all this or else you have to pay a big price that you can't imagine." Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Warned Henry while removing his hands by force from Martin's grip. Just then Vincent's phone rang, he took it out, pressed the answer button and listened to it for a while. His mouth slowly showing a satisfied smile.

When he got up on the ground, her footsteps were still unsteady but he looked down proudly at Henry who was still sitting on the ground and panting,

“I had fun, I won’t play with you anymore today, so.... bye~”

He said, stretched out his palm and waved to Henry. The latter did not stop him, he sat up from the ground, did not immediately stand up, sat on the spot with one leg bent, and frowned at Vincent's limping back.

He didn’t believe Vincent suddenly appeared just to “have fun” with him. And based on his understanding of Vincent, this person wasn’t a person who just came to him for a fight just to provoke him. Squinting his eyes, he faintly watched Vincent leave.

Although there were many doubts in Henry's mind but at this moment, he was in a hurry to see Bella. To settle his accounts with Vincent, he still have lot of time to do so.

“Claire where are you right now?"

The cell phone broadcasted to Claire’s place. Henry stood up and walked towards Martin's car, throwing a look at him,

“Car keys.”

Vincent sat in the back seat of his Maybach. His friend, Bob Rodney, who had been sitting in the car for a long time, handed him a wet wipe,

“Wipe, tut~ this face is swollen like a pig’s head. It’s too. Terrible~~"

“Hehe, don’t talk coldly.”

“You suddenly appeared in the hospital just now and delayed Henry Jackson. Was it just to help her gain time to escape?

The call you just answered, if I guessed it correctly, it was your subordinate and as I can guess correct surly she has left the city!

However, don’t you think that you are a bit nosy when you do this for a woman? Vincent, does this make sense?"

Vincent only laughed, whether it made sense or not, he knew best,

“God says that those who pray sincerely have atonement for their sins.”

“Atonement? Did I hear you right! Vincent Jackson, who blocked the killing of the devil and the god, would also have repentance and atonement?

You, Vincent Jackson, is such a boring man, doing all this just for a woman who wants to live peacefully?”

Vincent glanced back at his friend,

“Since I could hurt a woman whom I met, by chance, six years ago for my own sake. Then why can’t I help a woman again? I owe her this.”

To Bella, Vicnent now had a trace of guilt. Bob smiled sarcastically seeing Vincent zoning out. Vincent's selfishness and ego have hurt an innocent person badly. This “harm” ruined a person’s life and now helping the same person to escape and that too without her knowledge.

Atonement without shame?

“Vincent, you are really shameless!”

“Thanks for the praise.”

Vincent then elegantly took out a cigarette, lowered his car's glass window and started smoking. Nobody could read his emotions behind these white smoke. Soon Vincent was lost in his trance.

"Lovely.... amazing singing Bella.... congratulations..."

Vincent had arrived at Henry's birthday few minutes back. He was here to pick his father, Marcus Jackson, who had come uninvited to attend Henry's birthday.

Vincent very well knew his position in Jackson Family. He hated to accept the fact that he was actually a mistress's son but fact was fact. He was luxurious standing with his handsome figure leaning on his Austin Martin and waiting for his dad when he suddenly heard a girl singing a song.

He subconsciously followed the voice which was coming from inside the party hall. He felt as if he was hearing a nightingale singing in the night. As soon as he entered the hall, his eyes fell directly on the woman who was standing in the center of the stage. She was breath taking, young, looking like a real life princess.

She had her eyes closed and her plumpy lips were moving and making the most sodding sound Vincent had ever heard.

No she is no princess, he said to himself, SHE IS HIS QUEEN. He immediately looked for his father who was also immersed in that woman's no girl's voice. He walked upto him and held his hand like a child.

Even though Vincent was always insulted and abused of being a mistress's son, he was glad that his mother and father always stayed together. He always knew for the fact that his father was nothing less then a man whore but he never neglected him or his mother. And that was enough for him.

Vicnent held his father's hand and looked at the woman on the stage. Marcus immediately understood what Vicnent wanted to say. Marcus himself had not attended too many social gatherings lately so he was not very sure about this girl's identity.

As soon as Bella finished the song, she got down from the stage and walked towards her grandfather. Vincent, who was watching her each and every step carefully, could see that before getting down the stage, with a sad face, that girl's eyes were looking for someone and he could clearly see the disappointment in her eyes.

Marcus's eyes also followed Bella so as to see who her relatives are. He was very happy when he realized that she just acknowledged his childhood friend Mark Evans as grandfather. Now he was even more pleased with this girl. First as she was extremely beautiful and secondly she belongs to a good family.

He walked along with Vincent to his friend. Just then Vincent's phone rang. It was an important business call and he had to pick it up, hence he excused himself and left before meeting Bella's grandfather.

After Gin's death, Mark didn't have good impression about Marcus and frankly he didn't wanted to continue having any relationship with him. But unfortunately he was Jack's father and Henry's grandfather.

Marcus greeted Mark. They shared their greetings and without waiting any further, Marcus directly asked for Bella's hand for his second son, Vincent Jackson. Mark was surprised by Marcus's demands. He, without realizing the consequences, started insulting Marcus not being a bad husband, father and a grandfather.

He insulted him infront of the entire society and said 'what kind of grandfather he is who wants his future grand daughter in law to become only daughter-in-law. He insulted and accused him to the cause of Gin's death. He even added that a man whore like him can only deliver another bastart man whore from a bitch of a mistress.

Marcus was fuming with anger but he did not retaliate when he saw that his first son, Jack Jackson, who was also standing there for the whole time also didn't stop Mark from insulting him. He was so angry that he immediately turned and left the party. He promised in his heart that one day he will teach Mark a lesson and show him what a real bastard man whore can really do.

He knew that Vincent was on a very important phone and he didn't wanted to disturb his son so he called for his driver and drove away. When Vincent was done with his call the party was almost towards the end. Vincent could see that many guests have already stared leaving the gathering. He went inside to look for his father, but couldn't find him. He also tried to look for his queen but even she was no where in his eye range.

Looking for his father was more important right now hence he took out his phone to dial his number. Before he could connect the call, he saw a message from his father saying that he has left for home in his other car. Vincent also felt uneasy to be present in this venue hence he also thought about leaving.

As soon as he walked to his car, he heard a girl's sobbing voice. He was never a curious person but somehow he was attracted to this voice and slowly he walked towards the source of this voice. He was shocked to see that this voice belonged to non other then his queen. But right now she was looking like a mess, a beautiful mess.

He slowly walked towards her and gathered all his courage and spoke,

"Miss, are you hurt? Do you want me to call someone for you?"

Vincent spoke as softly and carefully as possible. He didn't wanted to hurt or scare her even abit. On the other hand, Bella almost jumped from the bench in which she was seated. She turned and looked at the man who was standing next to the bench.

Vincent was mesmerized by Bella's beauty. Her innocencent eyes were mistly but tears. Her wet lips were alluring. Her cheeks and nose were bright red as rose due to crying. He wanted to grab this beauty and carry her back home.

For the first time in so many years Vincent felt like having a family of his own. Bella was actually his love at first site. He was deeply in love with her. He knew that if he wants he can make her his at this very moment. He knew she was so vulnerable right now that she won't be able to resist him. But no, she was his queen and not some random woman. He wanted to marry her and then make her his forever.

Vicnent controlled his feelings and spoke again.

"Miss, are you OK?"

Bella hesitated for a while and then nodded her head in affirmation. Vincent felt like he was seeing a baby lamb shaking his head. He wanted to hug this baby lamb and protect her from whatever or

whoever made her cry. He also felt that this girl is little scared of him, hence to reduce her scare , he thought of introducing himself to her.

Vincent never realized that his this innocent thought changed Bella's entire life forever. Now he feels guilty for this woman but what happened when he was hurting her? was he guilty then too?

"Relax, I am Vincent, Vincent Jackson.. second son of Marcus Jackson...."

Before he could say anything further, Bella immediately spoke,

"You are Henry's uncle!"

Vincent, even though never liked Henry, still he knew he can't run away from this relationship. Hence he simply nodded his head and looked at Bella with a beautiful smile.

Bella had just received an image message from Cindy in which she was making out with Henry. Bella was already sad and not in her senses. She was going to be Henry's legal wife soon and Cindy would be nothing but a mistress. Her mind was playing weird thoughts again and again and she subconsciously spoke,

"You are Henry's uncle. You are the son of a mistress."

Saying that Bella moved a step back. Even though her movement was involuntarily done but to Vincent it felt as if she moved back because he was dirty and filthy. He suddenly grabbed Bella's hand and she started shaking it off but couldn't.

"Apologize "

demanded Vincent but Bella was not in her senses and started abusing Vincent more.

"Apologize... why should I? What wrong did I say? You are a bastard born out of wedlock."

All her anger came out showing over Vincent. She knew she was wrong in what she was saying but she felt like venting her anger on someone and because of, may be wrong timing and place, only person present there was Vincent. So she took out all on Vincent.

"You are a bastard...

Your mother is whore ... a mistress..."

She went on speaking on and on. Vincent wanted to grab her throat and clenched it hard. His one rule was clear, say whatever you want to him but nobody, means nobody, can insult his mother. No he won't allow it.

He raised his hand in order to hold Bella but stopped in between when he realized that he made mistake. This beautiful woman was dark from inside. She was abusive and dark hearted woman. She herself is a woman but the way she was insulting his mother showed her real self.

She degraded his mother and insulted her to a level that her mother's dignity was crashed. Vincent sworn that very time that he will bring this woman down. He will bring down her beauty, her dignity and her self esteem.
