A Ruling Passion – Chapter 1743

Arianne was well aware of an old saying where you should not interfere with someone else’s lives. However, since she was also a woman, she was also well aware about how painful it would be to live with a man who did not love his other half forever. ‘Does Alejandro love Melanie? The answer is very obvious: most likely not. How lucky would Melanie have to be to receive a happy ending in a relationship that has been built up on benefits?’

In the end, Arianne painstakingly advised, “Melanie, I’m sure you know Alejandro’s personality by now. If he really refuses to let you leave, you won’t be able to leave regardless. He'll make sure that you wouldn’t even be able to step foot out of the Capital. Why don’t you do this: have a proper discussion with him after the matter with the Larks has ended, all right? Also... He isn’t going after the Larks because of Tiffany. She has both me and Jackson supporting her, so there’s no need for him to be involved with her. Therefore, he should be doing it... for you. It’s a fact that Tiffany was in peril because of your brother, but you’ve also been put up on the chopping block by the Larks yourself. Tiffany isn’t his woman, you are. Forget everything else, Alejandro is actually quite macho for being so protective of you.”

At that moment, Melanie recalled what Alejandro had said to her in his office the other day. She was a little moved as she thought about it, but it was soon replaced by a determined decision. “I’ll take your advice and wait until all of this is over before I talk to him about the divorce again. It’s likely he’s just feeling sorry for wrongly blaming me previously and thinking that I was asking for a divorce because I was throwing a tantrum. So, I’ll talk to him about it again after all of this has ended and we’ve both calmed ourselves. Animals have been proven to be able to have feelings for each other over time, let alone humans. No matter how little he loves me, I’m still his wife by law. Therefore, I’m very clear with what I’ve seen, and have considered very thoroughly. This is all unrelated to love.”

‘I won’t hope for anything else anymore.’

Suddenly, Millie was crying, causing Melanie to rush over towards her reflexively. “What’s wrong?!”
