His Unveiled Passion

Chapter 285

Zachary's eyes darkened, filled with pain. "It's my fault I didn't satisfy James, that I didn't break you two up... If I had, and James got what he wanted, he wouldn't have come after you. He wouldn't have gone after Mr. Yates and Seline..."

Tessa was confused and thought he was being absolutely ridiculous.

Zachary's eyes shot wide open in shock. "What? Was Seline kidnapped too?"
