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

**Chapter 54**

Arabella felt a wave of sadness wash over her, a tingling sensation that settled in her nose. Her voice trembled as she confessed, “Mom, I loved Jayceon for so many years, married to him for three whole years. I sacrificed my major, the one I was passionate about, and gave up my dreams of working outside. I dedicated my life to him, but in the end, I found myself with nothing but heartache.”

Her words hung in the air, heavy with unfulfilled hopes and dreams. “Mom, from this moment forward, I refuse to cling to any illusions about love or marriage. I will work tirelessly, pouring my heart and soul into earning money, so that I can provide you and Dad with a life filled with comfort and security.”

As she spoke, her voice began to quaver, revealing the depth of her pain.

Outside the break room door, Jayceon stood frozen, his heart heavy as he watched Arabella, vulnerable and fragile, wrapped in Kayla’s comforting embrace, her tears flowing freely like a river. The sight pierced him with a profound sadness that he couldn’t shake off.

With a deep breath, he looked up, steeling himself for what he was about to do. He raised his hand and knocked gently on the door, but the sound felt like a thunderclap in the silence.

After a moment of hesitation, Jayceon turned away, closing the door behind him, leaving the warmth of the break room and the emotional scene within.

As he stepped outside, he once again encountered Georgina at the entrance of the hospital. She looked at him, her expression a mix of hope and apprehension.

“The doctor mentioned that my depression is showing signs of returning,” she explained, her voice tinged with worry. “I’ve scheduled a psychological evaluation for this afternoon.”

Her gaze fell on the lunch box in Jayceon’s hand, and she ventured tentatively, “Jay, have you had lunch yet? I was thinking, how about we go to that little restaurant near the university? It’s been ages since I’ve been there, and I really miss it.”

Jayceon, however, was lost in his own thoughts, his mind racing with a million concerns. “Maybe another time,” he replied, his tone distant. “I have some things to take care of this afternoon.”

With that, he turned and walked away, leaving Georgina standing there, a mix of disappointment and resignation settling in her chest. She held herself back from calling after him, sensing the chill that had crept into their relationship.

Lately, it had become painfully clear to her that Jayceon had grown increasingly distant, an emotional wall rising between them. She couldn’t help but wonder if her recent reappearance had stirred up a storm in his marriage, causing turmoil that she hadn’t anticipated.

As the heir to the Melendez Group, Jayceon’s marriage was a matter of public interest, and the weight of that reality pressed heavily on him. For the sake of his family’s reputation and the company’s image, he couldn’t simply walk away from his marriage or risk a scandal that would follow an affair.

Yet, Georgina had been preparing for this moment. After reuniting with Jayceon, she had skillfully played on his guilt, extracting a promise from him to take care of her and their son, Leandro. She had unwavering faith in his integrity; once he made a promise, she believed he would honor it without fail.

Now, even though she had just returned and hadn’t initiated any plans, Arabella was already on the brink of asking for a divorce. Georgina knew that once Leandro started school in September and she settled into Zelmere, she would have all the more reasons to seek Jayceon’s help, and she doubted Arabella would be able to endure the situation for long.

“Excuse me. Are you Ms. Carrillo?”
