His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 81
Quentin looked at Tessa meaningfully and said, "Tess, back then, I didn't realize that Stephen was beating that guy up because he liked you.
"I just thought he was stepping in for you like a brother would. It wasn't until recently that I figured out Stephen's feelings for you had been growing for a long time."
Tessa felt a wave of emotions after hearing Quentin's story. She had gripped her wine glass so tightly that her knuckles had turned white.
She never expected Stephen to go so far as to beat someone up for her, to the point of almost killing him too.
Suddenly, she felt fear wash over her. She was afraid of dragging him down.
Stephen had always been the kind of person whom parents would often see as a good role model, while teachers regarded him as an exemplary student.
Meanwhile, people his age would see him as a talented man who was so far ahead of them that they had no chance of catching up to him.
His future was bright. If he ended up shouldering the burden of taking a life for her sake, she would never forgive herself.
She blinked, her nose tingling and feeling slightly stuffy.
…
It was already way past midnight by the time Tessa and Stephen returned to Marina Apartment.
The night wind was cold, and the moonlight cast a light in the dark atmosphere.
Tessa got out of the car without saying a word and walked straight ahead with her head down.
Stephen followed behind her into the apartment. "Tess, don't be mad."
Tessa did not respond.
When they reached her unit, Tessa tried to close the door behind her, but Stephen forced his way inside with a hurt expression. "Tess, are you afraid of me?"
His voice was filled with unease as he explained, "Don't be afraid of me. I don't have violent tendencies, and I'd never resort to domestic violence. I was just provoked that day. The things he said about you made me furious. I couldn't stand hearing someone talk about you like that."
Stephen chuckled. "I didn't like it, but I pretended that I was going on a diet."
Hearing his answer, she burst out laughing despite her tears. She couldn't help but hit him again as she said, "You're not even fat. What diet are you on about? Are you just trying to annoy me?"
"Alright now. Can we not talk about this anymore?"
She looked up at him through her teary eyes and asked, "Stephen, why didn't you tell me about this?"
"I didn't want you to feel burdened by what happened. Everything I did was voluntary. It had nothing to do with you."
Tessa sniffled as tears gathered at the corner of her eyes before sliding down her cheeks.
He cupped her face in his hands, gently brushing away her tears with his thumbs. "Why are you crying now? Don't cry. My heart aches whenever I see your tears."
Stephen leaned down and brushed his warm, soft lips against her cheeks, kissing her tears away tenderly.

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....
