**Fading Into You by Iris Blake**

**Chapter 386**

Arabella forcefully pushed Jayceon’s hand away, her heart racing with a mix of frustration and disbelief. “Jayceon,” she demanded, her voice steady yet laced with urgency, “why are you so adamant about remarrying me?”

Jayceon met her gaze, sincerity radiating from his eyes. “Marriage is a lifelong vow,” he replied, his tone earnest. “We promised we’d be together for a lifetime!”

A wave of disdain washed over Arabella, her eyes narrowing as she shot back, “I bet you told Georgina the same thing, didn’t you? And her son, too?”

Jayceon shook his head, a hint of desperation creeping into his demeanor. “I did make a promise to Georgina, but it’s not what you think.” He took a deep breath, trying to convey the complexity of his feelings. “The way I feel about you is entirely different from how I feel about Georgina. I don’t love her, and I certainly don’t desire her.”

Before he could elaborate, Arabella’s voice sliced through the air, cold and unyielding. “Jayceon, do you love me, then?”

In that moment, they locked eyes, and Jayceon felt as if time had come to a standstill. For as long as he could remember, Arabella had been a steadfast presence in his life. They had been inseparable childhood sweethearts for over two decades, and Arabella had always harbored a desire to proclaim her love for him to the world. Yet, this question hung in the air like a heavy fog, a question she had never posed before.

In their three years of marriage, Arabella had poured herself into their relationship without ever broaching the topic of love. This was the first time she had ever asked him such a profound question.

But now, in all those years, he realized he had never truly pondered it.

Arabella scrutinized Jayceon’s reaction with an icy gaze, a sarcastic smirk playing on her lips. “Jayceon, you’re a businessman who prioritizes profit above all else. You don’t genuinely love anyone; all you care about are your own needs.”

Her biting words jolted Jayceon from his reverie. He instinctively shook his head, but the right words eluded him, leaving him feeling vulnerable and exposed.

Arabella continued, her voice dripping with disdain. “In our marriage, all you’ve ever sought was desire and personal gain.”

Before he could muster a response, she pressed on, “We’re both Scorpios, Jayceon. I understand your obsession with purity. You’re desperate to break free from your past and provide a future for Georgina and her son, but deep down, you can’t accept a woman who has been with another man and has borne his child.”

She leaned closer, her voice lowering to a conspiratorial whisper. “You know I love you, so it’s an easy way for you to keep me around. I’m young, beautiful, well-educated, and familiar with high society. We share the same network of contacts.”

“It’s not like that!” Jayceon interrupted, his frustration bubbling to the surface. “Don’t think of me that way!”

Arabella challenged him, her voice unwavering. “Why are you willing to shower Georgina with your tenderness and favoritism, yet you only grant me the title of Mrs. Melendez?”

Her words struck a nerve. “That’s because I’m young, I’m pure, I’m good in bed, and I’m easy to control. You think I can’t survive without you, that you can do whatever you want with me!”

In a moment of desperation, Jayceon leaned in and wrapped his arms around Arabella, his voice pleading. “It’s not like that! You are my wife, the one I married in a formal, traditional ceremony. I never saw you as just a bed partner. I never thought of you that way!”

Arabella’s words cut him deeply, like a knife through flesh. “Even if you won’t admit it, that’s exactly how you treated me.”

With a fierce determination, she declared, “Jayceon, I, Arabella, swear that in this lifetime, no matter who I’m with, I will absolutely never return to you!”

Jayceon’s grip on her loosened abruptly, his eyes turning a terrifying shade of red as anger and hurt battled within him. “Arabella,” he demanded, his voice low and dangerous, “I’m asking you one more time, cut ties with the Franklin.”

“Impossible!” Arabella shot back, her tone resolute.

Before he could respond, she had already rejected him, the finality of her words hanging in the air between them like a dark cloud.

They stood facing each other, the intensity of their emotions palpable. Jayceon felt his heart shatter at the sight of the absolute determination in Arabella’s eyes. “Arabella, you’re forcing me to do this!” he said, each word punctuated with a growing sense of desperation.

Barely a moment had passed when Jayceon abruptly started the car, the engine roaring to life.

With one arm wrapped tightly around Arabella, he gripped the steering wheel with the other, slamming on the gas as the car surged forward into the fast lane, like an arrow released from a bow.

Arabella’s heart raced with panic as she realized the gravity of the situation. “Jayceon, where are you taking me?!” she yelled, fear creeping into her voice.

As the morning sun began to rise, they arrived at the Melendez family’s private airport. Arabella struggled to free herself from Jayceon’s hold as she recognized the place instantly; it was the Melendez family’s private airport.

Not far away, the blades of a helicopter whirred ominously, the sound filling the air with a deafening roar. Steve and several bodyguards stood respectfully by the helicopter’s cabin door, their expressions unreadable.

Panic seized Arabella in that instant. She realized that wherever Jayceon intended to take her, it was surely far from Zelmere. No matter what, she couldn’t allow him to whisk her away from everything she knew and loved.

In the tense silence that enveloped them, the emotional chasm between Arabella and Jayceon deepened, their once unbreakable bond now frayed by doubt and betrayal. Arabella’s declaration of independence echoed in her mind, a powerful affirmation of her self-worth and refusal to be relegated to a mere title in Jayceon’s life. As the helicopter’s blades sliced through the air, she felt the weight of her decision pressing down on her heart. No longer would she be defined by her past or by Jayceon’s desires; she was reclaiming her narrative, determined to forge a path that honored her own aspirations and dreams, free from the shadows of their tumultuous history.

Jayceon, on the other hand, grappled with a whirlwind of emotions—anger, regret, and a profound sense of loss. His desperate attempts to hold onto Arabella revealed the fragility of his own convictions, leaving him questioning the very foundation of his feelings. As he watched her struggle against the confines of his grasp, he realized that love cannot be demanded or coerced; it must be freely given and nurtured. In that moment, he understood that their love story was at a crossroads, and he was faced with the painful truth that sometimes, love means letting go. As the helicopter roared to life, both Arabella and Jayceon stood on the precipice of change, their hearts racing with the promise of new beginnings, even if it meant saying goodbye to what once was.

In the next chapter of *Fading Into You*, readers can expect a heart-pounding confrontation as Arabella finds herself at the mercy of Jayceon’s impulsive decision.
