His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 183
Stephen's expression was cold, his tone indifferent. "It's not a movie. I need you to act in a real-life drama with me."
Nancy's mouth twitched. "What are you talking about?"
"You're going to play the role of my rumored girlfriend."
"So you're involved with a woman who's hard to shake off, and you want me to be your shield?"
Nancy's eyes lit up with curiosity, her expression turning mischievous. "That doesn't make sense. Given your status as Rivertown's golden boy, who would dare to cling to you? Besides, don't you already have a fiancée?"
Stephen's expression darkened instantly. "Tessa is not a clingy woman. She's the only woman I've ever loved."
Nancy was stunned, taking a moment to process his words.
Stephen, rarely patient, took the time to explain the situation to her.
After hearing him out, Nancy let out a long sigh. "Ah, your fiancée is so pitiful. Can I refuse? I haven't even met her yet, and now you want me to play the other woman in her love story? How am I supposed to face her after this?"
"This is your payment," Stephen said, handing her a card.
Nancy snorted and turned away. "Don't think you can buy me off with money. I won't do anything to hurt another woman!"
"Five million dollars."
"But then again..." Nancy's smile returned as she snatched the card. "We're protecting Tessa. Once the misunderstanding is cleared up, everything will be fine. I'm sure she's generous and will understand our good intentions!"
Nancy thought to herself, "Tessa, please don't blame me. He's offering way too much."
She usually had to work herself to the bone for months on a TV drama to earn five million dollars, and that was before taxes. But now, all she had to do was play along with Stephen, take a few photos, and she'd get the same amount. Where else could she find such a sweet deal?
She wanted to ask, "Are the rumors about you and Nancy true? Are you really together now?"
Those few words lingered on the tip of her tongue, but she couldn't bring herself to say them. The pain in her chest was suffocating.
"Yes." Stephen's voice was cold and detached. "We've already broken up. You've no say in who I'm with."
Tessa's breath hitched. She asked hoarsely, "You're lying to me, aren't you? Stephen, I don't believe you'd move on so quickly after our breakup. Tell me the truth. Is this because of James? You haven't really changed, right? You're just doing this to protect me."
Stephen listened to Tessa's sobs, his heart breaking into pieces.
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and forced his tone to remain icy. "Don't flatter yourself."
Stephen could no longer keep up the act. He hastily hung up the phone. One more second, and he would have caved.

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....
