Stephen headed straight to his base after he was done handling Jacobson Corporation-related affairs.
Stephen stood a short distance away from Jacqueline, who was still confined to the basement.
"Steve! You've finally come to see me, Steve!" Jacqueline grew hysterical the second she laid eyes on Stephen, crying loudly as she tried to run to him.
Her voice was hoarse. Coupled with the dark basement, she sounded like something out of a horror movie.
Unfortunately for her, she was leashed to the iron gate nearby. She was tethered to it like a common mutt, stripped of whatever dignity she once had.
Stephen furrowed his brows in displeasure as a heavy air radiated from him. "Who gave you the permission to call me so familiarly?"
Jacqueline stiffened at his words before laughing bitterly.
"Why can't I call you that? Do you want me to call you Stephen instead?" The look on her face twisted into something odd before she smiled. "I can do that. I can call you Stephen. I like you the most, Stephen."
The frown on Stephen's face deepened. "Do you even hear yourself?"
"Of course, I do!" she shrieked hoarsely. "I like you! I love you, Stephen! How could you not feel the love I have for you?
"Are you here to ask me why I did all those things?" She cackled through her tears and screeched, "I did it all for you! It's been years, Stephen. Yet, you've never once figured out how much I love you?"
The obsession in Jacqueline's crazed eyes was plain to see despite the dim light in the basement. There was no hiding the twisted feelings she had been harboring for over a decade now.
The basement fell into a deathly silence after her manic proclamation.
Stephen's figure was tall and imposing as he stood before Jacqueline, looking down his nose at her. A chilling air soon radiated from him when he heard her words.
His presence was so piercing it was as if there was a faint scent of blood wafting in the air.
After a pregnant pause, Stephen abruptly let out a chuckle.
"Love, you say?" His eyes were like twin bottomless pools of abyss.
Jacqueline's eyes never left Stephen. So, she immediately noticed the sardonic smile playing at his lips and the utter indifference in his eyes.

The readers' comments on the novel: His Unveiled Passion
Sooo~ Chapters 310-318 were just a repeat of Jacqueline’s punishment, official expulsion from the Jacobson family, and arrest. With few changes since Tessa and Stephen are not together this time. So Tessa didn’t witness how Jacqueline was tortured at Stephen’s base, though at least Tessa was still called over and witnessed how Stephen officially expelled Jacqueline from the Jacobson family and how Stephen’s subordinate made Jacqueline grovel in front of Tessa. Lol. I hope Jacqueline’s really out of the story now....
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...
