Stephen carried Tessa as he followed James up the stairs. In his arms, Tessa clung tightly to his shirt, her eyes filled with tension and worry.
Stephen's gaze softened, and he spoke to her in a reassuring tone. "Don't be afraid. Your sister will be fine."
Tessa's hands trembled as they gripped his shirt. When people were overwhelmed by fear and tension, their bodies reacted instinctively, far beyond their control.
While Tessa had been fighting James for her life, she had been fearless, unafraid even of death. But the moment she saw Seline in his grasp, her blood ran cold.
She could face her death without fear, but she couldn't bear to watch her sister be brutally killed in front of her.
Stephen reassured her again. "Don't be afraid, Tessa."
On the rooftop, the helicopter had descended to a stop.
Seline was still held by the burly, menacing man. As they moved, the snipers hidden in the surrounding buildings adjusted their positions accordingly.
Fortunately, the building where the snipers were stationed was the tallest in the area. Even though James and his men had moved up five floors, the snipers still had the advantage of elevation, securing the perfect vantage points.
James remained calm and composed even as the red dot reappeared on his subordinate's forehead. He moved toward the helicopter.
Stephen stepped forward to retrieve the hostage.
Just as James boarded the helicopter and Stephen was about to reach Seline, a gunshot rang out. The bullet struck the helicopter's frame with a loud bang.
The sudden disruption threw the original plan into chaos. Both Stephen and the man holding Seline reacted instinctively, stepping back and widening the distance between them.
"Police! Nobody moves!" Suddenly, several officers appeared at the rooftop entrance.

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...
