Tessa called gently, "Stephen."
Stepen pressed his lips against her cheeks before answering her gently, "I'm here."
"That incident with Jordan and the fight you had with Zachary a few days ago…"
Tessa hesitated momentarily before continuing, "If your family found out you lost control because of me and nearly beat someone to death, would they want to cancel our engagement?"
Stephen kissed her forehead. "I won't let that happen. They won't find out about it."
Tessa lowered her gaze, her heart heavy with guilt. Her voice was faint and soft as she said, "You don't have to go to such an extent for someone like me."
"Tess," Stephen murmured, lifting her chin with his warm hand, forcing her to meet his eyes. "You're worth it. You mean so much more to me than my own life."
His deep, dark eyes were looking at her with an intense gaze.
Tessa froze as her eyes flickered with emotion. She could not find her voice for quite some time. She never thought she would be so important to Stephen.
Her eyes trembled as a strong sense of unease welled up inside her.
She was terrified. Terrified that she'd one day drag him down with her.
The thought of him nearly going to prison because of her made her chest tighten painfully.
"Tess, didn't you say you would stop crying? Why are there tears again?"
His voice pulled her out of her thoughts, and she became aware of the tears streaking her face.
She pouted. "Then, wipe my tears for me."
He gently brushed her tears away with the slightly rough pad of his thumb.
Suddenly, Tessa wrapped her arms around his waist, burying her face in his chest like a small kitten, nuzzling him for comfort.
His heart melted.
She inhaled softly, taking in his scent, and hummed contentedly. "Stephen, you smell so nice."
Stephen chuckled. "You can smell it all you want since you like it."

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...
