His Unveiled Passion

Zachary's eyes flashed with a hint of sadness. "Tessa, I've been so lost these days. Not a second goes by where I don't think about you."

Tessa scoffed. "What does that have to do with me?"

Zachary smiled, pulled out a diamond ring from his pocket, and presented it to her. "Didn't you once say that you liked this ring? I bought it for you."

Tessa recognized the ring. It was the one she had seen in a magazine once. At the time, she was amazed by the ring's unique design and simply wanted to share her thoughts with Zachary.

But the minute he saw it, his face immediately darkened. She could clearly remember what he had told her back then.

"I can buy you anything, but not a ring. I currently have no intentions of getting married."

She had felt a little dejected by his response at the time. He had always assumed that she was desperate to get married to him.

At the thought of this, Tessa's lips curved into a taunting smirk. "Sorry, I don't like it anymore." She lifted her hand, revealing the big diamond ring on her finger. "I only like the one my fiancé gave me."

A flicker of hurt flashed in Zachary's eyes. He already knew who Tessa's fiancé was.noveldrama

He was Stephen Jacobson, the most affluent person in Rivertown, president of Jacobson Corporation,

and the only heir of the Jacobson family. Compared to them, the Gomez family was hardly worth mentioning.

However, Zachary still smiled. "Tessa, both of you aren't engaged yet, so he's not your fiancé." Tessa frowned and stared at him with a disdainful gaze.

Zachary's lips curved into a smirk. "Tessa, forget about getting engaged, even married people get divorced. Getting engaged is no big deal."

He looked at her with a maniacal

gaze. "Even if you marry him, I'll

never let you go. After all, havin

affai is the most thrilling, don't you think?"

No longer able to hold herself back, Tessa delivered a slap to Zachary's face. "Get lost!"

Zachary's head jerked to the side, the red imprint of her hand slowly appearing on his cheek.

He smirked. "You slapped me so hard. Does your hand hurt?"

"You're crazy!" Tessa shot him a glare and turned to walk away.

But Zachary pulled her back. "Where are you going? I'll give you a ride."

"Scram!" She was boiling in anger and lifted her leg to kick him.

Zachary swiftly dodged the blow. "Such a fiery temper. You weren't like this before. What happened to the obedient Tessa I knew?"

Tessa rolled her eyes and headed straight toward the open-air parking lot.

Zachary followed closely behind her. "Tessa, I know what I did was wrong.

I'm sorry. I'm now trying to make it

up to you, so would you give me a chance?

"I don't expect you to answer right away, but at least give me a chance to prove myself. I promise that from now on, I'll only be yours and stay completely faithful to you!"

Tessa sneered. "No thanks." She walked to the open-air parking lot and stopped in front of a blue Bently.

Zachary looked up at this moment. Upon seeing the car, he froze.
