Along with the shocking fire, another storyline in Days of Our Lives also surprised fans: EJ, the seemingly cold man, suddenly confessed his feelings for Belle.

In a moment of weakness, EJ revealed his heart – a heart hidden for so long under the shell of power and calculation.

Belle was initially stunned. She never thought EJ would look at her with that look.

In the moment EJ uttered his confession, Belle had to face her biggest fear: a love that came at the wrong time, in the wrong situation.

Because Belle was already tied to other complicated relationships, and this confession was like a bomb waiting to explode in Salem.

Viewers understood that EJ was not the type of man who easily fell in love. His confession was not only about personal feelings, but also entailed political consequences, power and dark conspiracies. Belle is standing on a thin line: accept that dangerous love or turn away to preserve her honor, her family, and her own safety.

The moment Belle trembles, before she can answer, the audience knows that this is not just a simple love story. This is a life-and-death choice: falling in love with EJ means entering a world full of lies and danger, where any enemy can use her as a card. Will Belle have enough courage to accept, or will she choose to retreat in pain?
