His Unveiled Passion

"Apologize." Stephen was clearly getting impatient as his gaze turned colder.

"No! I won't! I refuse! Why should I apologize to Tessa? I did nothing wrong!" Jacqueline screamed hoarsely as tears streamed down her face. It was obvious that she had no desire to apologize.

Her face was streaked with tears as she cried out in anguish, casting her dignity aside. "Why? Why can't I love you? We grew up together and are not at all related. Why can't you see me as a woman? How am I in the wrong for loving you? Why is it wrong for me to want to be with you forever?"

Sophia had slapped Jacqueline across the face before shouting angrily, "Shut your mouth!"

Jacqueline's face had jerked to the side from the blow, and the red imprint of Sophia's palm was visible on her cheek.

"How dare you say such things?" Sophia glared at Jacqueline, her face pale with rage. "Stephen is your brother and will only ever be your brother! Forget your status as the Jacobson family's adopted daughter. There's no way you and Stephen would ever be together even after you've left this family!"

Jacqueline let out a cold chuckle.
