Meanwhile, James was the first suspect Stephen had in mind upon receiving Naomi's call and learning that Tessa was missing.
James' whereabouts had been erratic ever since he returned to Orkford. The identity he used had been fabricated in advance, and the number he was using was registered under someone else's name.
Stephen couldn't get his hands on James' number, so he could only wait for James to reach out to him first.
However, he couldn't wait, not even for a second.
The thought of Tessa being in danger sent Stephen reeling, leaving him with black spots in his vision. His heart clenched with anxiety, and even breathing became difficult at the thought.
Stephen forced himself to keep his cool and took out his phone to make a call. "I want to see Cayden."
He had just ended the call when he received a call from an unknown number.
He had a hunch that it was James calling, so he immediately answered the phone.
"Why, good evening, dearest brother," James drawled teasingly, clearly in a mirthful mood.
Stephen's heart tightened at his tone. "You were behind Tess' abduction?"
James laughed and repeated, "Tess, huh?"
Stephen fell silent, caught in the trap. On the other hand, James continued in a languid tone, "It seems I got the right girl. You still love her."
Stephen barked sharply, "Come after me if you wish, but don't you dare hurt Tess!"
James chuckled lightly. "Now, now. Let's not be hasty. Capturing her was always about you."
"Where are you?" Stephen demanded.
James gave him an address and added, "Be here at 8:00 am tomorrow. Oh, and come alone. If you dare call the cops, I'll ensure that she disappears from this world forever."
…
The following day, Tessa was brought to an abandoned building near the border of a province.

The readers' comments on the novel: His Unveiled Passion
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....
Whats wrong with the typing?? There a lot of weird words...
More frequent updates please...
