Her Spark Ignites Tonight By J.S. Caldwell 10 Summary Arabella struggles with the fear that if she confides in her sister Kimberly about divorcing Jayceon, the news will spread quickly through their family and reach her hospitalized mother. Kimberly tries to lighten the mood by suggesting they go shopping at their family's mall, promising Jayceon will pay. However, Arabella feels numb and uninterested in shopping, wanting only fresh air. At the mall, security stops them, saying the entire complex is fully booked, which surprises Kimberly.
Despite the guards' reluctance, Kimberly asserts her authority as the family heiress and forces her way inside. They head to the shoe section on the third floor, where they unexpectedly encounter Jayceon crouched down helping Georgina try on shoes. Arabella is devastated, realizing Jayceon has been spending time with Georgina instead of being truthful about his whereabouts. Kimberly, furious at Jayceon's betrayal, confronts Georgina, but Jayceon intervenes, pushing Georgina into a fitting room and blocking Arabella and Kimberly from getting closer.
Jayceon coldly orders Kimberly to take Arabella home and refuses to explain his actions. Arabella, hurt and desperate, demands to meet Georgina, but Jayceon threatens to have security remove her if she insists. The confrontation leaves Arabella humiliated and in tears, feeling the weight of Jayceon's coldness and regret over their marriage. Kimberly, enraged and protective, vows to stand by her sister no matter what. Jayceon remains silent and tense, finally opening the fitting room door to face Georgina, while Arabella and Kimberly leave the mall shaken and heartbroken.
Continue Regular Chapter Reading Below Chapter 10 Kimberly had an enormous mouth. If Arabella confided in her about divorcing Jayceon, the news would spread like wildfire through the entire Melendez family within minutes. And once that happened, her own family would inevitably find out too. Since her mother was still hospitalized, Arabella couldn't bring up such a heavy topic right now. Quickly, Kimberly shifted the conversation. "It's fine, Arabella. Let's just shop at our mall. Pick whatever you want.
Jayceon will cover it." Arabella nodded, but her response was hollow, as if she was numb to everything around her. Lately, she had lost all interest in the things that used to bring her joy. She didn't feel like shopping at all. When they arrived at the mall entrance, security stopped them abruptly. One guard said, "Sorry, ladies, the entire complex is fully booked today." Kimberly's eyes widened in surprise. "Who in Zelmere has the authority to book out the Melendez family's premier mall?" Arabella tugged gently on Kimberly's arm. "Forget it.
Let's just go somewhere else." Truthfully, she had only wanted some fresh air. Buying anything was never her real intention. But Kimberly refused to back down. "Go ask who reserved it." Noticing how elegantly dressed Kimberly and Arabella were, the guard hesitated, unwilling to dismiss them outright. "Ladies, I'm sorry, but we're not authorized to reveal that information." Kimberly shot him a warning glare. "This mall belongs to the Melendez family. I'm Kimberly Melendez, the family heiress.

If you keep blocking me, I'll have you fired immediately." The guards visibly shrank under her intimidating tone. Seizing the opportunity, Kimberly pulled Arabella inside the mall. Once inside, Kimberly led Arabella to the elevator. "Let's check out the shoe section on the third floor." As they stepped off the elevator, they unexpectedly ran into Jayceon. At that moment, he was crouched down in front of a woman, helping her try on shoes. The woman's head was bowed, her long hair cascading over half her face, obscuring her features. Jayceon was carefully tying the shoelace for Georgina.
Arabella's hand flew to her chest, and the pale color drained completely from her face. Only Georgina could get Jayceon to help put on her shoes. The truth was clear: when Jayceon said he'd been "staying out for a few days," he had been with Georgina. Throughout their three years of marriage, Arabella had been the one serving and pleasing Jayceon. He had never once thoughtfully helped her with something as simple as putting on shoes or handing her slippers. The shocking sight rendered her frozen and foolish. "Arabella," Kimberly steadied her as she wobbled, teeth clenched in silent fury.
Arabella gripped Kimberly's arm and turned away quickly. She couldn't afford to cause a scene. She had to think about her parents in the hospital-and Jayceon's reputation. But Kimberly had reached her limit. They had seen everything with their own eyes. It wasn't Arabella who had betrayed him. Jayceon had no reason to cut her allowance now. Kimberly yanked her hand free and flung her purse hard toward Georgina. "Bitch!" she shouted, storming toward her. Arabella hurried after Kimberly.
Jayceon reacted swiftly, pushing Georgina into a fitting room and closing the door before Kimberly could reach her. He turned to Arabella, his eyes cold and devoid of guilt. "Are you following me?" Arabella's lips trembled as she looked at him, hurt shining through her eyes. "Jayceon, you're supposed to be at work right now." Yet here he was, having booked the entire mall to shop with his first love-and even helping her put on shoes himself. Jayceon still offered no explanation.
Instead, he said, "Take Kim home." He positioned himself in front of the fitting room door, blocking Arabella from getting any closer. Kimberly's patience snapped. She lunged forward, trying to open the door. "Jay, move! Let that vixen out!" Jayceon shoved her back. "Shut up." He shot her a warning look. "Take Arabella home." Rubbing his forehead wearily, Jayceon lost all patience. Seeing that reasoning with his sister was futile, he turned back to Arabella. "Arabella, take Kim home now. We'll talk tonight." Arabella's vision blurred with tears, but she stared intently at Jayceon.
"Since we've run into each other, let me meet her." "That's not necessary," Jayceon replied sharply. Arabella pressed on, "What if I insist?" Jayceon's expression hardened. "Will you leave willingly, or should I have security escort you out?" They locked eyes. Arabella's despair broke through, and tears spilled down her cheeks. "I'd really like to see what you'd do to me for the woman you love." Jayceon's low voice was edged with impatience. "Arabella, don't make me regret marrying you." She stared blankly at him, biting her lower lip until it bled. He probably already regretted it.
Without another word, she turned away in humiliation and fled. Jayceon watched her retreat, his chest tightening painfully. Kimberly was sobbing with fury. "Jay, if Arabella ever leaves you for good, I'll buy coffee for everyone in Zelmere!" With that, she spun around and ran after Arabella. Jayceon stood silently in front of the fitting room for a moment before finally opening the door. Georgina flinched at the look on his face.
Conclusion This chapter lays bare the raw and painful fractures in Arabella and Jayceon's marriage, exposing the deep wounds caused by betrayal and unspoken resentments. Arabella's quiet suffering contrasts sharply with Kimberly's fierce protectiveness, highlighting the complex dynamics of loyalty and love within the family. The confrontation at the mall not only reveals Jayceon's divided affections but also forces Arabella to confront the painful truth of her husband's feelings, leaving her emotionally shattered yet resilient.
When she's not writing, she finds peace nurturing her garden.
