Mr Melendez, your wife wants divorce long ago novel

Her Spark Ignites Tonight By J.S. Caldwell 22 Summary In this chapter, Jayceon confronts Gina about the implications of a married man staying overnight at her home, emphasizing the damage it could do to her reputation. Despite his concern, Gina reassures him that he is not a stranger to her, though Jayceon insists otherwise, highlighting the emotional distance that has grown between them over the years.

He promises to make her life easier by arranging for a live-in housekeeper and advises her to avoid Arabella, his wife, warning that any interaction between the two women would be harmful for Gina. Later, Jayceon meets with his friend Samuel at a private club, where they discuss the complicated situation involving Gina and Arabella. Samuel suggests that Georgina's return is a sign she still cares for Jayceon and that if Jayceon doesn't come clean, Arabella might eventually leave him.

Jayceon dismisses this, convinced Arabella will not divorce him due to her emotional attachment, financial dependence, and their shared history. The conversation reveals Jayceon's deep sense of responsibility toward Gina, who has suffered greatly because of their past and the forced marriage arranged by his grandfather. Jayceon feels obligated to care for her despite the toll it takes on his marriage and life.

Samuel challenges Jayceon's justifications, pointing out that Gina's behavior seems manipulative and that Jayceon is emotionally suffocating Arabella by not being honest or allowing her an escape. Jayceon acknowledges Arabella has done nothing wrong but struggles to face the full truth of the situation. Throughout the chapter, the tension between duty, guilt, and unresolved feelings is palpable, with Jayceon caught between his loyalty to Gina and the strain it places on his marriage to Arabella.

Samuel urges Jayceon to confront reality before it leads to irreversible damage, leaving Jayceon to wrestle with the complexities of love, responsibility, and the consequences of his choices.

Having a married man stay overnight? It's bad for your reputation." Gina smiled softly, a gentle warmth in her eyes. "It's alright. You're not some stranger to me." Jayceon's tone sharpened slightly.

"To you, I am a stranger." Her smile faltered, caught off guard by the sudden chill in his voice. Though his words were gentle, there was no room left for debate. A self-deprecating smile tugged at her lips. "After all these years apart, we've grown so distant." Seeing the hurt flicker across Georgina's face, Jayceon let out a deep sigh. "Gina, I know this has been hard on you. Tomorrow, I'll arrange for a live-in housekeeper, a car, and a driver to make things easier." He moved toward the door but paused, turning back to her. "Gina, from now on, avoid Arabella.

Don't put yourself in her path deliberately." Georgina was struck silent, the weight of his words sinking in. "This isn't up for discussion," Jayceon added firmly. "It's non-negotiable." Arabella loved him fiercely. She would never tolerate a rival. If those two women crossed paths, Georgina would undoubtedly come out the worse for it. Quickly, she nodded in understanding. "Don't worry, Jay. I'll do as you say." As she closed the door behind him, Georgina's mind raced. What exactly did he mean by that? She could still feel the lingering emotions beneath his words.

Was it because she was divorced that he had no intention of leaving his wife for her? Satisfied for the moment, Jayceon left the apartment. Over an hour later, inside a private club nestled in the heart of Zelmere, Jayceon glanced up as the door swung open. He poured two fresh glasses of whiskey, the amber liquid catching the dim light. Samuel slouched onto the sofa opposite him, legs stretched out and feet resting casually on the coffee table, embodying the effortless charm of a carefree playboy. His eyes locked on Jayceon's, taking in the tension etched across his features.

"Trouble at home?" Samuel asked, voice easy but perceptive. Jayceon swirled his drink, exhaustion evident. "I can't get through to her right now." Ever the keen observer, Samuel nodded knowingly. "Jay, Georgina came back for you. If you don't come clean, Arabella will walk away eventually." Jayceon waved off the warning lightly. "She won't divorce me." Emotionally, Arabella was deeply attached to him. She loved him, depended on him, and couldn't imagine life without him. Financially, there was no way she could repay all he had spent on her family over the years.

On a personal level, she had married him fresh out of university, becoming a full-time wife without a career to fall back on. Besides, she was born into wealth. Married to Jayceon, she lived a life of luxury. Even if she sought employment, her earnings wouldn't cover her lifestyle. So, Jayceon wasn't worried she'd leave. But Arabella was stubborn and prone to drama. If she ever did leave, it would be a spectacle. Samuel saw right through Jayceon's façade. "I heard she's already talking divorce." Jayceon raised a brow. "Kim told you that?" Samuel didn't deny it.

"Look, man, if Arabella really divorces you, you'll never find another woman who loves you as much as she does." Jayceon's voice held steady confidence. "Relax. That won't happen, not even after you're gone." Seeing his friend was unreachable, Samuel shifted gears. "Georgina knows you're married but stops you from explaining. Isn't she trying to break up your marriage?" Jayceon's expression darkened, his voice dropping low. "Samuel, don't speak of her that way." Samuel straightened, unwavering. "I'm not bad-mouthing her. I'm stating facts.

Her actions are clearly meant to drive a wedge between you." Jayceon lit a cigarette, the faint smoke blurring his vision as he exhaled slowly. After a long pause, he finally spoke. "Gina came from nothing. She's simple. To secure my inheritance, my grandfather forced her into a marriage abroad. She suffered for years because of me. I owe her." He continued quietly, "She was abused. Her health is broken. She battles severe depression. I have to look after her." A knowing smile crept across Samuel's face. "Just admit it. You still have feelings for her." Jayceon frowned.

"Sam, she almost destroyed her life for me. It's responsibility, not feelings, that drives my actions." "Gina forbids me from explaining things to Arabella because she's fragile and proud," Jayceon added. "She's terrified Arabella will use it against her, terrified of the gossip-that people will say she's manipulating my pity to break up my marriage and claw her way up." Samuel countered, "She forbids you from explaining, depends on you for everything, drains your money, your time, your energy-even your marriage. If that's not calculation, what is?" "It's different," Jayceon insisted.

"I'm compensating her willingly. It's my choice." "You feel guilt, responsibility, and some lingering affection for Georgina. But what about Arabella? What did she do wrong?" Weariness seeped into Jayceon's voice. "She did nothing wrong." "She did nothing wrong," Samuel repeated, "but you won't explain, and you're blocking her escape. With Arabella's personality, you're suffocating her emotionally." A tight knot formed in Jayceon's chest, but he refused to accept it was that serious. "I've allowed her to work.

She'll feel better having something to occupy her." Samuel shook his head, unconvinced. "That's not enough, Jay. You need to face the truth before it's too late." Conclusion The chapter closes on a poignant note, revealing the complex emotional entanglements that bind Jayceon, Georgina, and Arabella. Jayceon's sense of duty and lingering affection for Georgina clash painfully with the reality of his marriage to Arabella, whose love and dependence on him create a fragile yet suffocating dynamic.

The tension between responsibility and desire, loyalty and guilt, underscores the deep struggles each character faces, highlighting how past wounds and present fears shape their interactions and decisions. Amidst the turmoil, the chapter captures the fragile balance between love and obligation, and the unspoken truths that threaten to unravel everything. Jayceon's internal conflict and the warnings from Samuel hint at an inevitable reckoning, but for now, the characters remain caught in a web of unresolved emotions, each trying to protect themselves and others in their own way.

The simmering tension hints at inevitable confrontations that could challenge loyalties and force difficult truths into the open. Meanwhile, Georgina's internal struggle and her cautious compliance with Jayceon's demands set the stage for a complex emotional journey. Will her fear of Arabella's wrath and the weight of past wounds keep her silent, or will a moment of vulnerability lead her to break free from the shadows of guilt and manipulation?
