This was the moment Stephen had been waiting for.
James had finally fallen into his hands, and now he had the chance to capture James and his entire network in one sweep.
Outside, Stephen's men were lying in wait—not just snipers, but also mercenaries he had urgently brought back from abroad the night before.
When Stephen arrived earlier, he had carefully assessed the situation. Just as he had anticipated, James had very few people left to rely on in Orkford. The men present were basically all the forces James had left in the country.
According to the rescue plan Stephen had devised the night before, if everything went smoothly, he could save Tessa while simultaneously capturing James and his remaining operatives in Orkford.
However, the plan required Stephen to take a tremendous risk. If it failed, neither he nor Tessa would make it out alive.
Success was within reach, but something unexpected happened.
Stephen hadn't anticipated that James would send someone to capture Seline.
"Save Seline. Stephen, please save her."
Tessa, still cradled in Stephen's arms, clutched his collar tightly, her eyes filled with desperation.
Stephen's expression darkened, his thoughts unreadable. This opportunity had taken him too long to secure.
They were now in Silverstone, the border of Orkford, and beside them was Arcton.
The helicopter was right in front of them. If James managed to escape back to his stronghold in Arcton, it would be nearly impossible to deal with him in the future. But James was using Seline as a hostage, forcing Stephen to tread carefully.
Stephen lowered his gaze. His heart ached when he saw Tessa's pleading eyes.
Inside the hovering helicopter, Seline was crying and struggling.

The readers' comments on the novel: His Unveiled Passion
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....
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. 🤣...
