**Her Spark Ignites Tonight**
By J.S. Caldwell

**Chapter 256**

Without a moment’s pause, Arabella declared, “Zachary, I need to attend the conference in three days. Please, let Devonte take my place on the New York trip at the end of the month.”

Zachary’s brow furrowed as he pondered her request, “But if you’re heading to Port City, you’ll have to leave tonight.”

“I can leave whenever I need to,” Arabella replied, her voice steady, masking the whirlwind of emotions churning within her.

Zachary’s gaze swept over her, taking in her resolute posture and the determination etched on her face. After a moment of contemplation, he nodded in agreement.

A torrent of emotions surged through Arabella, each wave crashing against her resolve. This was her chance to have the abortion done swiftly in Port City, sparing her the agonizing wait until the end of the month. She felt a mixture of relief and anxiety, her thoughts racing as she navigated the familiar corridors toward the elevators.

Just as she reached the doors, an unexpected grip on her wrist startled her. She turned to find Jayceon’s concerned face, his expression tight with urgency.

“Let’s talk in my office,” she said sharply, shaking off his hold.

The silence that enveloped them as they walked to her office felt heavy, each step echoing with unspoken words. Once the door clicked shut behind them, Jayceon pulled her into his embrace, wrapping his arms around her as if trying to shield her from the world outside.

Arabella struggled against him, her heart racing with frustration. “Let me go, Jayceon!”

But he held her tightly, his voice muffled yet filled with a desperate plea. “Arabella, I’m so sorry. I should have clarified my relationship with Georgina right from the start!”

She pulled away slightly, meeting his gaze with a mix of anger and hurt. “You knew it was wrong, yet you chose to do it anyway.”

Jayceon’s eyes were filled with regret. “If I had been upfront about Georgina, the whole school would have known about Leandro being an illegitimate child. He’s just a kid; he can’t bear that kind of burden yet. Please, you have to understand!”

With a forceful motion, Arabella broke free from his grasp, stepping around her desk to create a barrier between them. “Congratulations, Jayceon. You’ve finally acknowledged that Georgina is your wife!”

His eyes glistened with unshed tears as he shook his head vehemently. “No, Arabella, that’s not what I meant!”

Arabella pressed on, “The hospital arranged for my training in Port City. I have to leave tonight. I can’t waste any more time on this. Go find Georgina. By the time I return from Port City, I hope you’ve made the decision to divorce me.”

The air left Jayceon’s lungs as he stumbled back, his heart racing. “Arabella, I know you’re upset with me right now. I’ll give you space to think. We’ll talk properly when you get back from Port City!”

She watched him, her heart hardening as she took in his weary, defeated figure. There was a finality in her gaze that spoke volumes.

As Jayceon exited the hospital, Georgina rushed toward him, her eyes scanning his troubled expression. “Jay, your wife isn’t angry with you, is she?”

He halted, his face a mask of coldness as he replied, “Georgina, I can help you for a while, but this can’t go on forever. Leandro is already starting to bully his classmates at such a young age. If this continues, he’ll end up in serious trouble. You need to teach him a lesson.”

Georgina instinctively rose to her son’s defense. “Jay, don’t be so harsh. He’s just six! What does he know? It was his first day at a new school. The other kids ignored him, and he acted out because he was upset.”

Seeing the storm brewing in Jayceon’s eyes, she quickly added, “I know this has caused you trouble. I promise I’ll talk to him when we get home tonight. It won’t happen again.”

But Jayceon was already on edge, his agitation palpable as he turned away from her, striding off without waiting for her to finish her sentence.
