**Chapter 387**
Arabella inhaled deeply, a quiet determination settling within her, and abruptly turned back toward the car, hoping to escape the tension that hung thick in the air.
However, Jayceon was quicker, effortlessly shutting the car door with a decisive thud that echoed in the stillness of the night.
“Jayceon, I have work in the morning! Where on earth are you taking me?” she protested, her voice tinged with frustration and confusion.
His gaze bore into her, dark and intense, yet he remained silent, as if lost in his own thoughts.
With a firm grip, Jayceon seized Arabella’s wrist, his strength undeniable as he began to lead her toward the waiting helicopter, its metallic frame glinting under the moonlight.
Arabella felt a flicker of panic rise within her; she dropped into a squat, instinctively resisting his pull.
“Please, Jayceon,” she implored, her voice trembling, “What are you trying to accomplish at this hour?”
Jayceon, momentarily taken aback, halted his advance, concern flickering in his eyes as he realized the position he had put her in.
He bent down, his hands finding her waist as he gently, yet firmly, pulled her back to her feet, his touch both commanding and protective.
“Arabella,” he said, his voice low and strained, “what do you see in Franklin?”
The question hung heavy in the air, his tone raw, as if he were wrestling with something deep inside.
“Tell me what you see in him, and I promise I’ll change to match his good qualities,” he continued, desperation lacing his words.
“You can demand things from me, but you cannot choose him!”
Their eyes locked, a fierce intensity enveloping them, and Arabella felt a shiver run down her spine at the madness that flickered in his gaze.
The fear of what he might do next made her heart race, urging her to soften her approach.
“Jayceon, please,” she said, reaching out to take his hand, her voice a gentle plea. “Let’s just take a moment. It’s late, and we can have a proper conversation tomorrow. Just… let’s go back for now.”
The panic that danced in her eyes seemed to pierce through Jayceon’s hardened exterior, causing a pang of regret to echo in his chest.
