His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 240
The camellias in the garden emitted a faint fragrance, while the cold wind brought in drifting snow.
Snowflakes landed on Tessa's hair, melting almost instantly upon contact.
She was unsteady on her feet in the biting cold wind. Her cold hadn't fully passed, and she had been standing outside for a while now. As a result, her head was throbbing again.
Hearing Stephen's response, Tessa blinked away the sadness in her eyes. She looked at him and said softly, "Alright. Just remember to take it off next time."
Stephen felt a tightness in his chest.
Her voice was heartbreaking, and he could hear the struggle in her tone as she fought to hold back her tears.
Tessa continued, "I get it. When people love someone, they mean it. But when they fall out of love, they mean that too."
That sent a chill down Stephen's spine.
Tessa seemed to have come to terms with her rough life. There was a quiet sorrow behind the calmness in her eyes.
She said, "I admit that I couldn't accept it at first. You told me you would always be there for me, and I just couldn't understand how that suddenly changed.
"I tried to make excuses for you and see things from your perspective. Yet, you said I was just imagining things. But I get it now—love is never guaranteed."
Stephen's chest tightened with a sharp pang, and his eyes clouded with sorrow.
Tessa's voice was barely above a whisper as she added, "Promises only mean something when people are still in love."
The sadness in Tessa's voice and her heart-wrenching expression filled Stephen with fear. He was afraid that they might never make it back after he dealt with James. He just couldn't imagine a future without her.
…
Stephen returned to his villa.
The large space felt cold and empty. He sat numbly on the couch as if his soul had been stripped away.
The sun was setting in the west. Its fading glow accentuated the loneliness and sorrow on his face.
He sat there as still as a statue.
As the last rays of sunlight disappeared, night slowly took over.

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....
