The sound of gunfire pierced the air.
However, the surrounding residents had grown accustomed to such noises and merely assumed that a film crew was shooting yet another scene in the abandoned building nearby.
Little did they know that the events unfolding within said building were far more thrilling than any movie.
Stephen had arrived at the location right on time ten minutes ago.
Immediately after, he went up to the 26th floor.
The scene before him made his eyes widen with rage.
Tessa was absolutely drenched with blood. Her face was bruised and battered as James held her by the neck. Her feet were dangling off the ground while her entire body was suspended in the air. Her face had turned a violent shade of crimson as she struggled to drag oxygen into her lungs.
There was no safety net beneath her feet as James held her at the edge of the abandoned building.
All it would take was for James to falter, and Tessa would fall to her doom from the 26th floor.
Even the ever-composed Stephen couldn't maintain his cool when faced with such a sight. His heart clenched as his breath caught in his throat.
James tightened his grip, all the while maintaining his hold on Tessa's neck. Then, he turned to look at Stephen with a raised brow. "Oh, you're here?"
Stephen's throat constricted at the sight, and a metallic tang of iron filled his mouth.
He tried his best to keep his voice steady so as to not betray his nerves. "Let her go."
"Are you feeling sorry for her?" James' eyes glinted with malicious amusement, but his grip remained unchanged.
Stephen could only watch as Tessa struggled for breath, her face growing more ashen by the second. It was as if she was on the brink of suffocating to her death. Stephen felt as though his heart was being torn apart as a feeling of unspeakable agony assailed his senses.
Stephen could vaguely hear his hoarse voice saying, "I've done as you asked. Let her go."
James chuckled, glancing at the girl he was choking.
Tessa, who was already bloodied, looked a shade away from turning puce. It was clear that she was hanging on by a thread.
So, James shifted his grip slightly and turned them both away from the edge of the building before tossing her aside as though she were nothing but garbage.

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...
