Zachary's eyes darkened, filled with pain. "It's my fault I didn't satisfy James, that I didn't break you two up... If I had, and James got what he wanted, he wouldn't have come after you. He wouldn't have gone after Mr. Yates and Seline..."
Tessa was confused and thought he was being absolutely ridiculous.
She let out a bitter laugh. "So you're apologizing because you didn't break me and Stephen up?"
"I..." Zachary's eyes flickered. "That's not what I meant, Tess..."
Tessa's face flushed with emotion, and her eyes turned red. Her voice rose in anger as she said, "Zachary, Seline was taken hostage by James' people! She could've been rescued, but because you called the police, the officers showed up and ruined everything. Now she's been taken to Arcton!"
Zachary's eyes shot wide open in shock. "What? Was Seline kidnapped too?"
"It really wasn't Jacqueline who told you to call the police?" Tessa's fury boiled over. "Do you know what James said to Stephen over the phone? He said if the cops showed up, he'd kill us on the spot!
"Jacqueline knew! She told you to call the cops because she wanted James to kill me! She used you. Don't you get it?" She glared at him as her chest heaved with rage.
His face went pale, his eyes clouded with anguish. Realizing he had almost caused Tessa's death, the pain in his chest grew unbearable.
"I'm sorry, Tess... I didn't know... If I had known, I never would've called the cops–"
"Enough!" Tessa snapped and cut him off. "Tell me the truth. Did calling the cops really have nothing to do with Jacqueline?"
His lips pressed into a tight line, and his fists on both sides were clenched.
Faced with Tessa's accusations, he nearly blurted out the truth. But...

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...
