**Chapter 170**

He felt an unyielding grip on his heart, an anchor that kept him tethered to her. Letting go seemed like an impossibility, and the very thought of it filled him with a paralyzing dread.

The fear of losing her was a shadow that loomed over him, darkening every thought and action. A divorce? The mere suggestion sent shivers down his spine, making him recoil at the idea.

Conrad turned to the elderly figure sitting before him, his father. “Dad, what do you think about all this?” he asked, his voice laced with uncertainty.

The silence that followed was heavy, almost suffocating. Finally, the old man exhaled deeply, a sound filled with the weight of years and regrets.

His gaze shifted to Jayceon, and with a grave tone, he declared, “Since you’ve made your decision, I’ll offer you a single chance for the sake of the child. You must choose—either Georgina or Arabella. You can’t have both.”

Jayceon felt a surge of determination as he stepped closer to his grandfather. He grasped Arabella’s wrist firmly, pulling her up to her feet as if to assert his claim.

“Grandfather, I will protect Georgina at all costs, but divorce is simply not an option!” His voice resonated with conviction, refusing to bend to the pressure.

Tabitha, always the voice of reason—or perhaps the voice of chaos—interjected, “If you’re so intent on safeguarding Georgina, then you must accept the reality of a divorce!”

Jayceon’s composure began to fracture. “Mom!” he exclaimed, frustration bubbling over.

Georgina, standing nearby, felt her cheeks flush with embarrassment, her gaze dropping to the floor. A pang of guilt washed over Jayceon as he glanced at her. He was fiercely protective of her, not out of love alone, but because he couldn’t bear the thought of his grandfather inflicting pain on her again, as he had done six years prior.

His heart was torn; he harbored feelings for Arabella, yet the pressure from everyone around him only solidified his resolve to avoid a divorce.

A flicker of fear danced in Georgina’s heart. She was thankful that when Arabella had asked her earlier, she hadn’t confessed her love for Jayceon or her desire to marry him. If that had slipped out, even the old tyrant from the Melendez family might have spared her, but Jayceon would never look at her with the same affection again.

The old man laid down his ultimatum. “Jay, you are the heir to the Melendez legacy. Georgina is restless, and Arabella lacks the cunning and ambition to hold the title of the Melendez heir’s wife.”

Jayceon’s voice rose in protest. “Grandfather, Georgina is innocent in all of this. If you have grievances, direct them at me. Let Georgina leave unharmed.”

Tabitha’s voice dripped with sarcasm. “So, Georgina is innocent, and Arabella is not?”

Sir’s response was cold and calculated. “If you wish to protect Georgina, then you must agree to the divorce and find an heiress from an established family to remarry.”

“No matter what you say, I refuse to get a divorce!” Jayceon shouted, his frustration boiling over.

Georgina stood silently, her hands clenched tightly at her sides, knuckles pale from the pressure.

Why? Why did she have to be relegated to the role of the ‘other woman’ even if Jayceon chose to remarry her? Why did that old man have the audacity to humiliate her like this?

Gathering her courage, Georgina stepped forward, her heart racing.

“Sir, please listen to me. Although Jay and I share a child, I have never considered rekindling our relationship. I remain by Jay’s side solely for our child’s sake. Tonight’s events were my fault, and I am willing to accept any punishment you deem appropriate!”

Arabella, weary and worn, closed her eyes, feeling the weight of the moment.

Jayceon was prepared to risk everything for Georgina, yet she seemed hesitant to reciprocate the same level of devotion. It appeared she would need to devise a different strategy.

Sir glanced at Oliver, and the butler stepped forward, flanked by several imposing bodyguards.

“Take Georgina and throw her on the island,” he commanded, his voice devoid of compassion.

As soon as the words left his lips, the bodyguards advanced, and Georgina, panic-stricken, instinctively sought refuge behind Jayceon.

He stood tall, shielding her with his body. “Grandfather, don’t make me resort to violence,” he warned, his voice low and threatening.

“Bastard!” Sir scoffed, his disdain palpable.

As Jayceon readied himself for a confrontation with the estate’s guards, Arabella stepped forward without a moment’s hesitation, positioning herself to protect him.

It seemed that if she wanted to end her marriage with Jayceon, she would have to demonstrate her sincerity and ally with Georgina.

“Jay, take Georgina and leave first. I’ll hold them off,” Arabella urged, her voice steady.

Jayceon’s eyes narrowed with suspicion and anger. “Arabella, whatever your intentions are, you are coming with me right now!”

Arabella positioned herself firmly in front of the living room door, effectively blocking their exit. “I promised you when we arrived here that I wouldn’t allow the woman you love to come to harm. I keep my promises,” she stated, her resolve unwavering.

Their eyes met in a moment of understanding, and with a decisive motion, Arabella closed the living room door behind her.

“Arabella!”

Jayceon pounded on the door, finding it locked from the inside. The sight of him losing control, shouting her name and throwing his weight against the door, sent a wave of panic through Georgina. A twinge of jealousy twisted in her gut.

Tears streamed down her cheeks as she pleaded, “Jay, your mom and sister care for your wife. She’ll be safe with them. Your grandfather is after me—he wants to end my life!”

Her voice cracked as she continued, “I can’t be sent to the island. My son is at home waiting for me. Jay, please, can you take me home first?”

When Jayceon remained motionless, Georgina sank to her knees before him, desperation etched on her face. “Jay, do you truly want to witness my demise in the Melendez house? I’m begging you; I’m terrified.”

Her cries and pleas gradually penetrated the walls of his anger, calming him.

Georgina was right. With his mother present, Arabella would be safe. To ensure Georgina’s safety, he had to act swiftly and get her away first.

In the chaos of the moment, Jayceon’s heart was a battlefield, torn between duty and love, fear and hope. As Georgina knelt before him, her vulnerability laid bare, he felt the weight of his choices pressing down on him. The image of her fear, her desperation, ignited a spark within him, one that overshadowed the expectations of his family and the looming threat of his grandfather’s wrath. With a newfound clarity, he realized that true strength lay not in the preservation of a title or legacy, but in the protection of those he cared for most. He took a deep breath, the tension in his shoulders easing as he made the decision to prioritize Georgina’s safety above all else.

As he reached down to lift her from the ground, the connection between them deepened, a silent promise forged in the fire of their shared struggles. The door that separated them from Arabella became a symbol of the choices that lay ahead, but in that moment, Jayceon was resolute. He would face whatever consequences awaited him, knowing that love was not just a feeling but an action, a commitment to stand beside those who mattered. Together, they would navigate the storm, and in doing so, they would ignite a flame of hope that could not be extinguished, forging a path toward a future where they could redefine their destinies, free from the shadows of the past.
