His Unveiled Passion

Samuel let out a heavy sigh. "Seline's been traumatized due to the kidnapping incident. I took her to visit a psychiatrist, and she's barely made any progress. The doctor says she needs a lot of love and support from her family right now.

"She still asks for you even though her mother's been accompanying her. Can't you come to visit her?"

Tessa felt a twinge of sadness and longing upon hearing Samuel's words.

Seline was her beloved little sister. Tessa had suffered from nightmares for days and could barely eat anything after Seline's kidnapping.

"I..." Tessa's resolve wavered.

Seline was still traumatized, and her paying Seline a visit would definitely help her condition.

Yet, Tessa steeled her heart as soon as her mind reminded her about the madman, James. "I'm sorry, Dad. I really can't make it this Saturday."

"Oh, alright." Samuel hung up in disappointment.

Tessa stood before the floor-to-ceiling window, looking desolate and gloomy.

Why was James targeting her?

She had no grievances with him.

Could it really be as Stephen had claimed? Was it because she was Stephen's Achilles' heel?
