Tessa and Stephen kissed each other silly out in the prairie.
It had been a long time since they'd been able to indulge in their love for each other. The fact of the matter was that they had been suppressing their feelings for each other during their day-to-day interactions.
Their restraint had only allowed their desire and longing to grow. Now that the dam was broken, they couldn't find it in themselves to stop.
When they finally pulled themselves apart, Tessa's lips were slightly swollen.
Still, they were both panting heavily after the kiss.
Tessa remained in a dazed state throughout the rest of the day, feeling as if she were in a dream.
Frankly, she still felt out of sorts even after she returned to the hotel that night.
They didn't return to their rooms immediately. Instead, they had chosen to spend their time at the hotel's garden, sitting side by side on a wooden bench.
Stephen gently wrapped his arms around Tessa and murmured, "Tess, let's get back together, okay?"
The lingering summer's breath teased their hair, and the streetlights glowed dimly in the night.
Stephen's dark eyes were deep and searching. His tone was careful, tinged with a hint of nervousness and anticipation. He was even holding his breath, waiting.
Tessa leaned into his embrace, her reply as soft as a wind's caress. "Okay."
The guillotine blade hanging above his heart turned to dust right that instant.
Stephen's pounding heart finally began to slow, thumping at a steady beat.
A faint smile appeared on his lips as he opened his palm to reveal a piece of wrapped candy.
Tessa rested her head on Stephen's shoulder and lowered her gaze to the candy in his hand. "Since when have you started carrying sweets in your pockets?"
Stephen was in a fantastic mood. So, there was an undeniable lilt of joy in his tone as he explained, "The hotel owner's daughter gave it to me at the lobby earlier. I saved it just for you."
Tessa picked the candy up and inspected it. "Peach-flavored? It's my favorite."
She unwrapped the candy and popped it into her mouth. The sweet taste quickly coated her tongue.
They leaned against each other, enjoying the warm evening breeze. A sense of content seemed to settle in their bones as they felt their hearts beat as one.
Time seemed to slow that very moment.
"Is it sweet?" Stephen asked out of the blue.
The candy in Tessa's mouth had yet to fully melt. In fact, she was still sucking on it as she replied around it, "Yes, it's very sweet."
His low and magnetic voice seemed to become even more seductive under the cover of the night. "Is that so? Is it as sweet as you?"
The night in the county was so quiet that she could only hear the sound of the breeze blowing past her ears.

Yuhohoooo!!! Finally!!!...
Aaand~ Tessa and Stephen are finally back together! Yaaaaay!...
Why make an uninteresting, irrelevant twist when readers are waiting for Tess and Stephen to be together?...
Gosh just let Tessa and Stephen get back together already! Ugh...
Oh my god, when is this book finishing... they're not even back together yet and more nonsense side plots.....
Whoa! Hahahahahaha! Go, Sophia! Burn, stupid Rowena! Lol...
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....
