Her Spark Ignites Tonight By J.S. Caldwell 44 Summary Arabella confronts Jayceon, expressing her hurt and anger over being publicly humiliated at work because of his actions. She accuses him of loving two women simultaneously and tells him she is ready to walk away if he continues to trap her in their suffocating relationship. Jayceon, desperate to hold onto her, reassures her that they will get through the difficulties and agrees to buy her contraceptive pills to ease her worries about their future.
After taking the pill, Arabella lies quietly on the bed, revealing that she knew three years ago that Jayceon never truly loved her and that it was her fault. Jayceon is visibly shaken by her words but holds back his emotions until Kimberly arrives to keep Arabella company, allowing him to leave quietly. Later, Jayceon meets with Samuel, who warns him about the consequences of presenting a fabricated paternity test to his grandfather and the inevitable demands from Georgina and Leandro.
Jayceon confesses his sense of responsibility for Gina and Leo, feeling guilty for the pain caused to Gina and wanting to protect them. Despite Samuel's advice to divorce Arabella and let her find happiness, Jayceon refuses, insisting he will help Gina and Leo without ending his marriage. Samuel harshly criticizes Jayceon for his betrayals and warns that Arabella is breaking under the strain and may eventually leave him. Jayceon denies this, believing Arabella's love for him is strong enough to endure.
As the conversation ends, Jayceon prepares to visit Georgina, who is being discharged from the hospital, feeling the need to address unresolved matters with her despite the turmoil in his marriage. Continue Regular Chapter Reading Below Chapter 44 "If it weren't for them, you wouldn't have scolded me in front of everyone at work, humiliating me like that," Arabella's voice trembled with a mixture of hurt and anger. "If it weren't for them..." she began again, but Jayceon interrupted her sharply. "Arabella!" he called out, cutting her off before she could continue.
Without hesitation, he pulled her close, wrapping his arms tightly around her. "Listen to me," he whispered urgently. "I have responsibilities toward Gina and Leo, but it's not what you're thinking." Tears welled up in Arabella's eyes as she shook all over. "Jayceon, you can't love two women at the same time. If you feel responsible for them, then don't change your mind about us. Just let me go. I'm truly ready to walk away." Her voice cracked as she added, "You know how much I love you.

If you trap me in this suffocating relationship any longer, I swear, I will die." Jayceon's grip tightened slowly, as if trying to anchor her to him. "That won't happen, Arabella. As long as you don't let your mind spiral, we'll get through this." Arabella felt utterly drained. The weight of their conversation was too much to bear. "Let me take the pill," she said quietly, "and I promise I won't overthink anything." After a long, silent battle within himself, Jayceon finally agreed and bought contraceptive pills for her. He hoped, somehow, that this small act might ease her suffering.
He wasn't in any rush to have children. Once she swallowed the pill, Arabella collapsed onto the bed, her body finally still and quiet. Jayceon gently tucked the blanket around her. "I called Kim," he said softly. "She'll be here soon to keep you company. I need to step out for a while." Arabella remained silent, closing her eyes gently as he stood to leave. "Actually," she murmured, "I knew three years ago that you didn't marry me out of love. That was my fault. I should have realized you'd never truly love me." Jayceon's body stiffened at her words.
He turned to look at her, lying so vulnerable on the bed. The panic and pain swirling in his eyes were raw and perhaps unnoticed even by himself. Fearing she might break down again, he waited until Kimberly arrived before quietly slipping out. *** At noon, in a private room on the third floor of the Empire Club, Samuel stopped Jayceon from reaching for a third bottle of liquor. "Once you show that paternity test to your grandfather, even if it's fabricated, it becomes the truth. What will you do when Georgina and Leandro start demanding their place?" Samuel asked, his tone serious.
Jayceon leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees, exhaustion etched deep into his features. His voice was low and edged with frustration. "If I don't do this, Grandpa will never stop bothering Gina and Leo. Gina's life was destroyed because of me. I can't let them suffer any more. I owe her." He paused, then added, "Besides, Gina isn't the kind of person to take advantage. I trust her. She promised that once she's better, she'll let me help find a school far away for Leo, so I won't have to disrupt my life with Arabella." Samuel didn't hold back. "Jay, ethics mean nothing to you.
There are plenty of ways to make things right, but you chose the one that hurts everyone. You still have feelings for Georgina and you resent your grandfather for breaking you two apart. I get that part, but I don't understand why you're hurting Arabella like this." "Arabella's only mistake is loving you too much. If you can't let go of Georgina, then set Arabella free. Let her find happiness, and you can live with Georgina and Leandro." Jayceon shook his head firmly. "I will help Gina and Leo, but I'm not getting a divorce." Samuel sighed deeply.
"Jay, don't take this the wrong way, but you and Arabella should just get a divorce. I feel sorry for her." Jayceon glanced at him, eyes narrowing. "She's my wife. I don't need your pity." Samuel shrugged. "Don't be so sure. Arabella thought you were her salvation, but you're breaking her. Eventually, she'll leave." Jayceon took a long swallow of his drink. "She's only acting out because of what I said. She's loved me for years; she won't leave." Samuel looked at him with disbelief. "You really believe that? You lied about business trips when you were with Georgina and her son.
You gave Georgina the same anniversary gift. You stayed out all night as a married man. When Arabella was sick, you were at Georgina's side like her husband. You see Georgina's son as yours, spending your shared money on their house, cars, drivers, servants..." There were so many betrayals. Jayceon had no words, only the bitter taste of alcohol to drown his guilt. Samuel shook his head. "Jay, you're a complete jerk. You don't deserve forgiveness." Just then, Jayceon's phone vibrated on the coffee table. He glanced at it, grabbed his jacket, preparing to leave. Samuel stopped him.
"Arabella is furious with you, and you're still going to see Georgina?" Jayceon's voice was steady. "She's being discharged this afternoon. I have to be there. There are things I need to say to her." Conclusion The chapter closes on a poignant note, capturing the fragile tension between love, loyalty, and betrayal. Arabella's vulnerability and pain are laid bare, revealing the emotional toll of Jayceon's divided affections and the heavy responsibilities he carries.
