James' men dragged Tessa up an abandoned building.
Since Tessa had acrophobia, the higher she climbed, the weaker her legs felt.
The concrete structure had no railings along the stairs, and there were no safety measures in place on the upper floors. Yet, Tessa had no choice but to follow James' men up the stairs as they ascended, step by heavy step.
Tessa silently counted the floors. The person before her finally stopped when they arrived at the 26th floor. Thus, the goon keeping a hand on her also came to a halt.
"What time is it?" James inquired lazily.
"It's 7:40 am, Mr. Fullerton," replied the man who had abducted Tessa the night before.
Tessa had no idea who he was.
James arched an eyebrow upon hearing his response. Then, he turned his gaze to Tessa. "Say, do you think Stephen would come here and die for your sake?"
Tessa pursed her lips and lowered her eyes.
"Are you scared?" James smiled. "Don't worry. If you really care about him that much, I'm sure I could find it in me to allow the recital of a tragic ending of two dead lovers."
Tessa kept her head lowered and said nothing.
James scoffed, finding Tessa's silence boring. A hint of impatience flickered in his eyes.
"Hey, I'm talking to you. Can't you hear me?" James suddenly grabbed Tessa by the arm and yanked her over before roughly shoving her forward.
Tessa, who was caught off guard, stumbled and lost her balance. She swayed and staggered before finally falling to the ground.

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...
