His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 116
Before Tessa could respond, Naomi fired off another question. "Wait—was it last night? A drunken mistake?"
She immediately smacked a hand over her mouth. "No, wait! 'Drunken mistake' sounds so wrong! Let's call it… 'liquid courage'! Drunk words, sober thoughts, right?"
Tessa's face turned scarlet as she mumbled, "No… It was this morning… after I sobered up."
Naomi's eyes widened in disbelief. "Oh my god! So you slept with him while fully sober?"
The way she stressed the word "slept" made Tessa want to disappear on the spot. After a moment of hesitation, she gave a reluctant nod.
Naomi grinned mischievously. "Damn, Tess! So… how was it?"
Tessa stiffened, completely at a loss for words. Before she could formulate an answer, her phone rang.
It was a perfect escape.
Tessa exhaled softly and pulled out her phone. "I need to take this."
She glanced at the caller ID.
It was Jasmine.
Without hesitation, Tessa answered.
"Ms. Yates, are you available to come over? I could really use your help with something."
Tessa took a moment to steady herself. "What's going on?"
Jasmine got straight to the point, quickly explaining the situation.
Tessa's brows furrowed with concern. "Wait for me. I'll be there in a minute."
Ending the call, she grabbed her bag and stood up. "Something came up—I need to go. We'll meet another time."
Naomi's lips curled into a slight pout. "Is there really something going on? You're not just setting an alarm and making a quick escape to avoid answering our questions, are you?"
Tessa sighed, holding up her phone to show the call log. "See? It's legit."
Naomi crossed her arms. "Alright, but next time, you're telling us everything!"
"Deal."
With that, Tessa rushed out the door.

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....
