His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 140
After putting the phone on silent mode, Tessa finally got a good night's sleep. By the time she woke up next, it was already 1:00 pm.
Stephen was long gone, leaving her alone in bed.
She ran a hand through her hair. Then, she lifted the blanket to freshen up. But the moment her feet touched the floor, her legs gave out, and she nearly collapsed.
After Zachary left, Stephen followed her into the bedroom to sleep. He had promised to just hold her and do nothing more. But in the end, he still couldn't resist and ended up wearing her out.
It took her a while to get used to the soreness before she finally managed to walk out of the bedroom.
Stephen was on the couch in the living room. He crossed one leg and placed his laptop on his knee.
There was something undeniably attractive about a man when he was deep in work.
The snow had stopped, and the golden sunlight streamed in through the windows. As it bathed Stephen in its warm glow, it seemed to soften his sharp features.
The heater was turned on in the house. Stephen had his black dress shirt buttoned all the way up to the collar. His face was unreadable as he stared at the screen, his fingers flying over the keyboard.
At that moment, he looked completely composed and untouchable.
But last night, those beautiful hands of his had slowly unbuttoned her clothes.
Tessa knew all too well how wild Stephen could be beneath that cold and distant exterior. Seeing him so focused on work for the first time, the contrast was almost jarring.
She couldn't help but watch him for a moment.
Stephen finally showed some emotion. He stopped typing, a mix of struggle and sorrow flickering in his eyes.
Tessa had never seen that look on his face before.
His voice was soft as he said, "When my mom was pregnant with me over 20 years ago, my dad cheated on her.
"Shortly after I was born, his mistress showed up with a hospital pregnancy report and confronted him. She wanted to use the baby to force them to divorce, so she could take my mom's place.
"When my mom found out, she completely broke down. She fell into postpartum depression and almost jumped off a building.
"My grandparents tried to pressure my dad into making his mistress get an abortion. But he truly loved that woman, so he couldn't bring himself to do it. He told my grandparents that he would make her get an abortion. But in reality, he secretly sent her abroad."

Yuhohoooo!!! Finally!!!...
Aaand~ Tessa and Stephen are finally back together! Yaaaaay!...
Why make an uninteresting, irrelevant twist when readers are waiting for Tess and Stephen to be together?...
Gosh just let Tessa and Stephen get back together already! Ugh...
Oh my god, when is this book finishing... they're not even back together yet and more nonsense side plots.....
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....
