**TITLE: Her Spark Ignites Tonight**
**By J.S. Caldwell**
**Chapter 244**
In her relentless pursuit to weave herself into the fabric of the elite, Georgina had taken to the daily ritual of ordering pour-over coffee, a practice she believed would help her blend in seamlessly. Each morning, she donned a mask of confidence, convincing herself that she possessed a respectable understanding of the art of coffee-making—a little ruse she hoped would obscure her humble beginnings.
“Thank you, Mrs. Melendez,” Georgina said, her voice laced with a hint of trepidation as she gingerly accepted the steaming cup from the older woman’s hands. “Jay and I have developed quite the affinity for coffee.”
Once the words slipped from her lips, she raised the cup to her lips, attempting to exude an air of sophistication. As the bitter liquid met her tongue, a grimace threatened to betray her composure, and she forced herself to swallow, the unpleasant aftertaste lingering like a bitter reminder of her social standing.
The old hag. Not even a hint of sugar to soften the harshness.
Deep within her heart, she had always harbored doubts about Mrs. Melendez’s gracious facade, suspecting that there was more to the woman than met the eye.
“Can you discern its origin? Blue Mountain or Yauco Selecto?” Tabitha asked, her tone teasing yet edged with a challenge that made Georgina’s cheeks flush with embarrassment.
Lowering her gaze, Georgina felt the heat rise to her face. The truth was, she typically indulged in takeout coffee that barely cost a few dollars—ten at most—and she always insisted on dousing it with sugar and cream. How could she possibly identify the nuances of this brew?
Tabitha was clearly enjoying this, relishing the opportunity to poke fun at her ignorance.
Noticing Georgina’s discomfort, Tabitha softened her tone, “I wasn’t trying to mock you, dear.”
Georgina’s eyes widened, surprise flooding her features as she realized that her inner turmoil had been laid bare before the older woman.
“I’m simply trying to remind you of the vast chasm that separates you from Jay,” Tabitha continued, her voice steady and unyielding. “If you genuinely wish to be with him, you will need to exert yourself much more and do so discreetly.”
A flicker of suspicion ignited in Georgina’s gaze as she scrutinized Tabitha. “Mrs. Melendez, are you serious?” she asked, her voice barely above a whisper, as if the very question held the power to shatter her fragile hopes.
A small, enigmatic smile danced on Tabitha’s lips. “If I weren’t sincere, you wouldn’t even have the privilege of sitting here before me.”
Frustration surged within Georgina at the bluntness of the reality being thrust upon her. Annoyance and anger bubbled beneath the surface, yet she stifled the urge to push back. Despite the harshness of Tabitha’s words, they stripped away the layers of pretense that Georgina had so meticulously constructed around herself.
“Mrs. Melendez,” she began, her voice trembling slightly, “even if the Melendez family looks down on me, Leandro is still a Melendez by blood. For his sake, I implore you to help me. I need you to allow Jay to visit us.”
Tabitha stirred her coffee with a deliberate slowness, the metal spoon clinking gently against the porcelain cup. “Georgina, for the sake of my grandson, I am indeed willing to assist you. However, given my position and the fact that Jay is still married, I cannot intervene on your behalf directly. If I were to do so and it became known, I would find myself unable to extricate from the situation, let alone provide you with any cover.”
Seeing the tension etched across Georgina’s face, Tabitha added, “Your relationship with Jay is already an open secret among our circle. If you wish to see him, you can simply take the child and go directly to him—whether that be to his company or his home. I support your efforts.”
Georgina’s gaze fell to the floor, her hands tense at her sides, fists clenched tightly.
She continued, “You’ve been blacklisted online for selling fakes. It’s no longer safe for you to remain in your current situation. You should find some time to pack your things and relocate to the city with Leandro.”
Georgina’s eyes flickered with confusion and disbelief.
This woman, Tabitha, kept insisting that Leandro was her biological grandson, and she was well aware of Georgina’s precarious situation. Why not simply transfer the property to her instead of making her a tenant?
Tabitha intertwined her fingers casually and rested them on the edge of the table. “You need not question my intentions. I am doing this for your own benefit.”
In the quiet aftermath of their conversation, Georgina felt a whirlwind of emotions collide within her. The tension between hope and despair created a fragile balance as she contemplated the path ahead. Tabitha’s unexpected offer of support ignited a flicker of possibility, yet the weight of her own insecurities loomed large. She had spent so long trying to fit into a world that felt foreign, battling against the stigma of her past. But now, the prospect of a new beginning, albeit fraught with challenges, beckoned her to embrace her truth. The realization that she could forge a future for herself and Leandro, one that was not marred by shame, began to take root in her heart.
As Georgina accepted the rental agreement, a sense of resolve washed over her. She understood that aligning herself with the Melendez family would require her to navigate the complexities of their world with caution and determination. Yet, for the first time, she felt a surge of empowerment. The road ahead would not be easy, but she was ready to fight for her son’s rightful place in a family that might one day embrace him. With Tabitha’s guidance, she could finally step out of the shadows of her past and into a life where she could be proud of her identity. The spark of hope ignited within her, illuminating the path towards a future filled with love, acceptance, and the promise of belonging.
