Ever since they secured the business with Victorious Corporation, Barry had drunk quite a few glasses of wine even in the afternoon. When he returned to the hotel, he immediately fell asleep after collapsing on the bed. They had nothing else planned for the next afternoon, so Tessa was free to do whatever she pleased.
Noria was located next to the sea and was a famous holiday city in the country. Tessa's hotel had a great view of the cerulean waters and golden sand because it was built right on the seaside. The temperature rose to about 86 degrees Fahrenheit when the afternoon rolled around.
Tessa stayed and rested in the hotel for most of the afternoon. When the sun began to set, she changed into a sleeveless top with spaghetti straps and a pair of shorts. She left for the beach after putting on some sunscreen and a pair of sunglasses.
The hotel owned the beach. It wasn't open to the public, so there weren't many people around. She sank into a lounge chair that was placed under a parasol. Removing her sunglasses, she stared out at the endless ocean, emptying her mind of all thoughts.
The sun was straddling the boundary between sea and sky while the clouds were dyed in fiery oranges and reds with shimmering golden edges. The ocean looked as if someone had spilled orange soda on its surface before covering it with a layer of crushed diamonds. The water glittered brilliantly, looking straight out of a dream.
The sea breeze that billowed past her tasted salty, chasing away the heat and humidity in the air. Tessa leaned back against the lounge chair. She continued to admire the sight of the sun sinking into the ocean, feeling relaxed.
She had been up to her elbows in work for the past few days. It had been awhile since she was able to relax like this.
"Hey, beautiful. Are you alone?"
Tessa had only been lounging for a short time when a man approached her to flirt with her. Her face was emotionless, and she didn't even bother to glance at him before saying, "I'm married with two kids. My husband is in the hotel, taking care of the children."
The man didn't leave after hearing Tessa's words. In fact, he seemed even more interested. He took another two steps toward her, his gaze pinned on Tessa. He gave her a once-over and said in a flirtatious tone, "Oh, you're already married despite being so young? You have a great body even though you've already given birth to two children."
She pretended not to hear him. The man took another step toward her, closing the distance between himself and her lounge chair. "Since your husband isn't here, can I have some fun with you?"
Tessa shot a disgusted look at the man. Her response was short and direct as she spat out, "Get lost."

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