The black Bugatti tore down the road, a motion blur against the dark night.
The engine's roar was deafening, drowning out the faint vibration of an unanswered phone call.
Tessa's heart clenched. Her fingers dug into the seatbelt, knuckles pale. "Stephen, slow down."
Stephen's jaw tightened as he stared straight ahead. His mood was unmistakably terrible.
He didn't respond, but the car began to slow down.
The tension in Tessa's body eased, and she turned her gaze outside.
Nothing looked familiar. This wasn't the road to Grandview Garden, nor was it the way back to the Jacobson residence.
"Where are we going?"
"Grandview Garden isn't safe. You can't go back for now. I'm taking you to an estate outside the city. Stay there until I settle things," Stephen replied coldly.
"Is it far?"
"Not too far. Someone will meet you ahead. Just follow them. The car is fully staffed with professional security. You'll be safe."
Tessa quickly asked, "What about you?"
"Don't worry about me."
The car sped forward. The towering skyline faded behind them, replaced by low houses and vast stretches of open land. Lush greenery lined the road, wild and untouched.
"We're almost there. When the car stops, get down and go with them."
Tessa glanced over her shoulder. "Where are the bodyguards? I thought you never went anywhere without them."
Stephen jerked the steering wheel hard, narrowly dodging the next shot aimed at the tires. The bullet embedded itself in the car's body instead.
Tessa gasped. The Bugatti screeched against the asphalt road, tires skidding from the sudden turn.
"Tessa, watch out!"
Stephen shoved Tessa down just as another bullet whizzed past. It tore through the passenger side, missing her head by inches.
The windshield cracked, and a jagged hole splintered through the glass.
Cold air rushed in as Tessa curled into a fetal position, shaking.
She had just brushed past death. Again.

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....
