**Chapter 387**

Arabella inhaled deeply, a quiet determination settling within her, and abruptly turned back toward the car, hoping to escape the tension that hung thick in the air.

However, Jayceon was quicker, effortlessly shutting the car door with a decisive thud that echoed in the stillness of the night.

“Jayceon, I have work in the morning! Where on earth are you taking me?” she protested, her voice tinged with frustration and confusion.

His gaze bore into her, dark and intense, yet he remained silent, as if lost in his own thoughts.

With a firm grip, Jayceon seized Arabella’s wrist, his strength undeniable as he began to lead her toward the waiting helicopter, its metallic frame glinting under the moonlight.

Arabella felt a flicker of panic rise within her; she dropped into a squat, instinctively resisting his pull.

“Please, Jayceon,” she implored, her voice trembling, “What are you trying to accomplish at this hour?”

Jayceon, momentarily taken aback, halted his advance, concern flickering in his eyes as he realized the position he had put her in.

He bent down, his hands finding her waist as he gently, yet firmly, pulled her back to her feet, his touch both commanding and protective.

“Arabella,” he said, his voice low and strained, “what do you see in Franklin?”

The question hung heavy in the air, his tone raw, as if he were wrestling with something deep inside.

“Tell me what you see in him, and I promise I’ll change to match his good qualities,” he continued, desperation lacing his words.

“You can demand things from me, but you cannot choose him!”

Their eyes locked, a fierce intensity enveloping them, and Arabella felt a shiver run down her spine at the madness that flickered in his gaze.

The fear of what he might do next made her heart race, urging her to soften her approach.

“Jayceon, please,” she said, reaching out to take his hand, her voice a gentle plea. “Let’s just take a moment. It’s late, and we can have a proper conversation tomorrow. Just… let’s go back for now.”

The panic that danced in her eyes seemed to pierce through Jayceon’s hardened exterior, causing a pang of regret to echo in his chest.

With careful restraint, he lifted his hand to caress her cheek, his thumb brushing away the tears that had gathered at the corners of her eyes.

Arabella, feeling the weight of his emotions, didn’t dare pull away.

“Arabella,” he murmured, his voice a low rasp, “to keep you from resenting me, I forced myself to stay away.”

He paused, the vulnerability in his expression palpable. “But the more I tried, the more fractured our relationship became.”

Taking advantage of the moment, Arabella suggested, “Why don’t we find somewhere to sit and truly talk? Right now, we need to clear the air.”

She tentatively tugged at his arm, hoping to draw him into a calmer space, but Jayceon remained steadfast, his feet planted firmly in place.

“Arabella,” he said, his tone earnest, “I know I’ve made mistakes. I want to make amends. Why won’t you give me just one chance?”

When her gentle approach yielded no results, Arabella felt a surge of resolve. She looked deeply into his eyes, a mix of hurt and determination swirling within her. “Jayceon, the pain you’ve caused me is real. Why should I simply forgive you because you say you’re sorry?”

Jayceon’s composure began to unravel, the weight of her words pressing down on him.

He pulled her into his embrace, the warmth of his body enveloping her, despite her instinct to resist. “We shared so many happy moments as children, and during our three years of marriage, we created beautiful memories too,” he whispered, his voice thick with emotion. “Arabella, please trust me one more time. I swear, I’ll never hurt you again.”

Feeling trapped in his hold, Arabella’s heart raced, and she replied, “Jayceon, the person you love isn’t me. The one you want to marry isn’t me either. Your happiness… it seems to come only in fleeting moments. You could find that with anyone. Just let me go.”

“It’s not like that!” he exclaimed, his voice cracking with desperation. “Arabella, I’m begging you, don’t see me in that light!”

Jayceon’s grip on her tightened instinctively, his eyes pleading. “Let’s go home, please. You’re the one I’ve always wanted. I don’t love anyone else; it’s only you!”

“Jayceon,” she reminded him, her voice steady despite the turmoil within, “you’re about to get engaged to Ms. Collins. We’re meant to lead separate lives now. This isn’t helping either of us.”

“I won’t get engaged to anyone else. I only want you,” he insisted, his voice unwavering. “What do I need to do for you to forgive me?”

Arabella felt the pressure of his arms around her, making escape impossible.

With a heavy heart, she swallowed her pride, trying to reason with him. “Jayceon, you’ve always been composed and dignified. This isn’t you. Can’t you just—”

“Before!” he interrupted, his voice rising in frustration, the past weighing heavily on both their hearts.

In the stillness of the night, the air between Arabella and Jayceon crackled with unresolved tension and raw emotion. As they stood locked in each other’s gaze, the memories of their shared past collided with the painful reality of their present. Arabella’s heart ached with the weight of Jayceon’s desperate pleas, yet the scars of their tumultuous history loomed larger than the flickers of hope he offered.
