"Tess…" Stephen murmured in response.
Tessa blearily opened her eyes and saw Stephen. Her eyes glowed with happiness before churning with worry and nerves.
"Why are you here? You need to leave. Forget about me!" Tessa croaked with great difficulty.
"Tess…" Stephen trailed off, touched by her words.
James clapped his hands as he looked at Stephen and Tessa before sarcastically saying, "What a touching love story."
Stephen looked up and met James' gaze, saying, "I'll switch places with her while you send one of your men to get her out of here."
James was practically beaming as he clicked his tongue. "And here I thought you two were a ride-or-die couple. What's this? Are you two tossing the other aside now that the going has gotten tough?"
Stephen ignored James. Instead, he carefully picked Tessa up, afraid of hurting her further.
Tessa had multiple cuts on her body. Fortunately, they weren't deep ones. Still, they were oozing enough blood to stain her clothes red. Stephen's already tattered heart shattered further at the sight.
Nevertheless, he stated in a tone of finality, "I'll carry her downstairs, and you can arrange for someone to send her away."
However, his body nimbly shifted aside whilst he held Tessa in his arms as he spoke.
At that moment, a red dot appeared on James' forehead.
Nary a second later, all of James' subordinates also had red dots dotting their foreheads and chests.
"You brought fucking snipers?" James shouted furiously upon seeing the red dots on his subordinates.
Stephen merely curled his lips into a disdainful smirk.
A few of James' men exchanged glances, clearly not expecting Stephen to have a backup plan.
"Fucking hell. Didn't he come alone? Who was in charge of checking things out earlier?" one of the lackeys muttered under his breath.
"He definitely came alone earlier," someone answered.
"Then, where the fuck did those snipers came from, huh?"

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...
