Tessa then followed the police officer to the station to give a statement of her own.
When Marissa finally stirred from slumber, it was already 11:00 am. Tessa had left the police station and returned to the hospital by then.
Marissa felt dizzy when she peeled her eyes open. Her complexion was pallid, and her face was lined with fatigue. After allowing her eyes to adjust to the bright lights, Marissa looked around the room, taking in the blurry silhouettes that were moving about.
"Tessa?" Marissa murmured, her voice hoarse.
"You're awake," Tessa replied, turning to face her.
Marissa's brows knitted together. "Is this… the hospital?" she asked.
"Yes." Tessa handed her a glass of water. "Here, drink this."
Marissa pushed herself into a sitting position. She accepted the water Tessa offered her and took a few sips. "Thank you," she said.
Tessa sat down on the edge of the bed and studied Marissa, concern evident in her eyes. Her voice was soft when she asked, "How are you feeling? Do you feel better?"
Marissa's lips parted slightly before she said, "I'm dizzy, and my entire body feels sapped of strength. Why am I feeling like this? How did I end up in the hospital?"
Tessa explained, "Last night, I saw you being carried by a group of men who looked like they were up to no good at the entrance of a bar, so I decided to check out what was happening. They drugged you. The police have been informed, and Wynn also beat those thugs to a pulp to save you."
"I was drugged?" Marissa asked, her eyes widening to the size of saucers. "What type of drug did they use on me?"
Tessa pressed her lips together. "It's a type of drug that heightens a person's libido, also known as an aphrodisiac."
Marissa's brow furrowed tightly as she stayed mute. Tessa gave her a few minutes to process this undoubtedly shocking news before she spoke up again. "Ms. Scott, the man who drugged you last night has been arrested and thrown into jail. You can drop by the station to take a look at him if you'd like."

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...
