Mr Melendez, your wife wants divorce long ago novel

Her Spark Ignites Tonight By J.S. Caldwell 18 Summary In this chapter, Jayceon confronts Arabella with a cold and calculated tone, detailing the immense financial support he has provided to her family, including paying off debts, purchasing property, and funding her brother's elite education. Despite his generosity, Jayceon reveals that his intentions were never kind-hearted but strictly business, emphasizing that their marriage was a transaction without a prenuptial agreement because he believed she couldn't claim any money from him.

Arabella feels deeply hurt and humiliated by Jayceon's merciless attitude. She struggles to maintain her composure but is overwhelmed by the realization that their relationship has deteriorated into a matter of money and control. When she tries to negotiate an IOU, Jayceon dismisses it, demanding a staggering sum of one hundred and fifty million dollars in cash for a divorce, a sum Arabella cannot afford.

Jayceon uses Arabella's family circumstances to exert pressure, reminding her of her mother's recent heart surgery and the potential loss of their home and her brother's education if she proceeds with the divorce. He manipulates her by highlighting how much he knows about her family and their vulnerabilities, effectively cornering her emotionally and financially. Despite Jayceon's harsh demands, he insists that as long as they remain married, Arabella must fulfill her role as Mrs. Jayceon Melendez, obeying his rules and avoiding any conflict.

He forbids her from acknowledging his other woman and son, demanding she pretend they do not exist. Arabella, feeling trapped and powerless, recognizes the extent of Jayceon's control over her life and the painful reality of her situation. Continue Regular Chapter Reading Below Chapter 18 Jayceon deliberately slowed his words, his tone measured and cold. "When your family fell into bankruptcy, I covered more than 150 million dollars of your parents' debts. I purchased a property for them and your brother right in the city center, worth over 1.8 million dollars.

Every month, I transfer fifteen thousand dollars directly into your parents' bank account. And the elite school your brother attends costs over a hundred and fifty thousand dollars each month." He paused briefly, letting the weight of his statement sink in before continuing, "And that's not even counting what I've spent on you." Arabella felt a sharp ache twist inside her chest, so intense it made her breath catch. The pain was almost suffocating. She forced herself to maintain her composure, her eyes blazing with stubborn defiance.

"Jayceon, when you married me and helped my family, you gained fame along with it. We never signed a prenuptial agreement before our wedding. What you're doing is cheating. I'm leaving without damaging your reputation. I'm not asking for a single cent from the assets we share. What more could you possibly want from me?" Jayceon didn't even bother to hide his true intentions. "Arabella, I'm a businessman. I didn't marry you out of kindness. We didn't sign a prenup because I was confident you couldn't take a single cent from me." His words were merciless, delivered with a chilling detachment.

Arabella found herself speechless, drained of any argument. It was painfully clear: when a marriage crumbled, all that remained was cold calculation and self-interest. Fighting back tears that threatened to spill, Arabella, feeling humiliated, pulled a pen and paper from her bag and began to write an IOU for Jayceon. Her voice quivered as she asked, "Just tell me... how much do I owe you? Including principal and interest?" Jayceon snatched the pen from her trembling hand. "When I cleared your family's debts, it was with real money.

A simple IOU won't cut it." Arabella felt trapped, cornered by the man she once loved so deeply. She never imagined Jayceon could push her to this breaking point. Tears streaming down her face, she pleaded, "Jayceon, what exactly do you want from me?" Jayceon straightened, his expression hardening. "If you want a divorce, fine. Since you've been married to me for three years, I'll give you a discount. One hundred and fifty million dollars in total. I want it in cash." Arabella's eyes reddened with helplessness.

"I don't have that kind of money right now." Jayceon placed his hands firmly on her shoulders, his voice softening just enough to sound almost gentle. "Then just behave like Mrs. Melendez. Stop overthinking everything." Overwhelmed, Arabella pushed him away. "I can't do that either!" Jayceon released her, his voice turning cold and distant again. "Arabella, I spent that money on your family to stabilize our marriage. If you can't keep it going, your family will have to pay it all back. You can't have it both ways." Arabella stared blankly at the man who had been her love for so many years.

So, in his eyes, their marriage was nothing more than a business transaction. Jayceon continued, his tone sharp and unyielding, "But you'd better think carefully before you decide. Your mother just got out of the hospital after heart bypass surgery. The follow-up care and medication won't be cheap. If I take back that property, you'll have to figure out where your parents will live." He added, "And your brother? His teacher called me recently. His grades are consistently among the top in his year. He's a math prodigy.

If he has to leave that elite school, his bright future could be ruined." Arabella stood frozen, unable to respond. He knew exactly how to control her. If she told her parents about the divorce and Jayceon demanded the property and money back, they would be forced to move out immediately, given their stubborn nature. They might even go to desperate lengths-selling anything they had or borrowing from loan sharks-to support her. Her brother Emmett idolized Jayceon like an older brother.

If her headstrong brother discovered Jayceon was forcing her, he would definitely quit school in protest, refusing to let her suffer alone. Jayceon knew her family far too well. Seeing Arabella fall silent, Jayceon bent down and gently lifted her into his arms, carrying her to the bed. "Arabella," he said quietly, "I'll agree to a divorce if that's what you want. But as long as we're still married, you're Mrs. Jayceon Melendez. And you have to fulfill your duties as a wife. Do you understand?" Lying there on the bed, Arabella looked up at him, her voice steady but defiant.

"No, I don't understand." Jayceon sat on the edge of the bed, took her hand in his, and softly rubbed the wedding ring on her finger. "Arabella, during the time we're married, you must always remember your place. Don't say or do anything inappropriate." Arabella asked quietly, "Aren't you going to give that woman and your son a proper status?" He answered curtly, "Don't ask about Gina. Don't see her. Don't bother her. And don't make a scene with me over her. Pretend she doesn't exist. Can you do that?" Arabella's heart shattered into pieces.

In that painful moment, she understood with brutal clarity that she had no right to refuse Jayceon. He controlled her through money. He forbade her from seeing that woman and his son. He warned her not to cause trouble or confront him. And with that, Arabella realized how deeply trapped she truly was. Conclusion The chapter closes on a poignant and heartrending note, capturing the raw vulnerability and entrapment Arabella experiences as her marriage unravels.

The emotional weight of Jayceon's cold calculations and the financial grip he holds over her family leaves her feeling powerless and isolated, despite the love that once bound them.

The emotional stakes will rise as she confronts the consequences of Jayceon's ruthless demands and the impact they have on her family's fragile stability.
