Once Stephen was sure that Tessa was deep asleep and would not cause a ruckus anymore, he quietly tiptoed out to the living room.
Her apartment consisted of two bedrooms and a living room, but the other bedroom was empty.
Hence, he could only make do with the couch.
It was deep into the night, and he fell asleep soundly.
…
Early the next morning, Tessa, who maintained a consistent sleep schedule, woke up at her usual time just as it was sunrise.
However, her head was pounding due to her hangover, and it took her some time for her to come to her senses.
She could only remember going to dinner with her colleagues and heading to the bar to have a few drinks after that.
Due to her low alcohol tolerance, she blacked out after having just a few cups.
However, Tessa could vaguely remember a man coming up to her, and how she had clung onto that man, telling him a bunch of nonsense.
With that thought in mind, she immediately shuddered and sobered up. A wave of panic surged through her as she thought about how she would have to explain things to Stephen if he found out about it.
Would he be jealous?
She wasn't afraid that he'd be mad. She was just afraid that he would misunderstand her and feel upset over the incident. She cared about him and did not want him feeling sad either.
Tessa lifted the blanket and got out of bed. Suddenly, she noticed the clothes she was wearing.
Why was she in her pajamas? When did she change into her pajamas? How did she get home last night?
Tessa pushed open the bedroom door, getting ready to shower when she saw a person lying on her couch.
The man was covered with a blanket, his feet resting on the armrest of the couch. His eyes were closed, while his chin was slightly tilted, and his jawline looked sharp and defined.
It was Stephen! Why was he here?
Oh, God!
Did he go to the bar last night to take her home? Wouldn't that mean that he had seen her clinging onto another man…
She tried to recall what had happened, but no matter how hard she tried, she just could not remember what that man looked like.

Whoa! Hahahahahaha! Go, Sophia! Burn, stupid Rowena! Lol...
Sooo~ Chapters 310-318 were just a repeat of Jacqueline’s punishment, official expulsion from the Jacobson family, and arrest. With few changes since Tessa and Stephen are not together this time. So Tessa didn’t witness how Jacqueline was tortured at Stephen’s base, though at least Tessa was still called over and witnessed how Stephen officially expelled Jacqueline from the Jacobson family and how Stephen’s subordinate made Jacqueline grovel in front of Tessa. Lol. I hope Jacqueline’s really out of the story now....
Also a lot of chapters were missing here. I went back to the application where it was originally published that’s why i know that this site is not reliable...
Fucked up book! Seems like the authors were not talking to each other. LOL. Yes authors, because of the inconsistencies....
The story went downhill after pg200 1. Why is Jacqueline back… she was expelled from the family already 2. There was no reason for Rowena to be mad at Tessa 3. The Jacobson already knows that Stephen wants to get back witb Tessa after they deal with James, so why is Rowena pushing hard? LOL 4. The family also knows that Stephen and Nancy have some sort of deal. The story was okay from page 1-199, but clearly it’s a thumbs down. I can deal with grammatical errors, but story errors is just different now....
This is funny! Jacqueline was also the culprit why James knew that nancy was Stephen's cousin. So, really, what happened when steohen tortured jacqueline hahah...
I wonder how many authors does this book have? Suddenly jacqueline was back and continue to bad mouth tessa. And was stunned that tessa knows her feelings about stephen. And then rowena was freaking mad at tessa too; because there werw multiple instances that tessa sharp-tongued her. 🤣...
What is wrong with the story flow? At chapter 160-164 there’s this whole thing about Stephen revealing in front of all the Jacobsons family members about Jacqueline’s inappropriate feelings towards him and her involvement in murder. There’s even this “Just like that, Jacqueline was officially expelled from the Jacobson family. Stephen then promptly handed her to the authorities.” So I was already glad the bitch is out of the picture. And then suddenly at chapter 236, Jacqueline appears again like nothing happened, still being the adoptive daughter of the Jacobson family and the family being unaware of her feelings for Stephen. Seriously? Doesn’t make sense anymore....
The latest update is just a repetition of the previous chapters...
I don’t like that Stephen is dropping Tessa. They could work together to go after James. But if this happens then I’ll stop reading....
