Come on baby, I said it’s nothing,” he repeated, more firmly this time.

Lucas pulled his hand back slightly, hurt flickering across his face. “Nothing?” he echoed. “You expect me to believe that?”

Alex ran a hand through his hair, frustration creeping in, not at Lucas, but at the situation. “Hey, I’m handling it,” he said.

“That’s not the point!” Lucas snapped, his voice rising just a little. “The point is you’re not letting me in!”

Silence fell again.

After some seconds, Lucas’s

    Lucas smiled faintly. "That's one way of putting it." Another silence followed. It was gentle and comfortable. The kind that didn't demand anything. Then Lucas finally looked up.Only to discover Vince was already looking at him. Their eyes locked. The air immediately felt different. Nobody moved or spoked. The cottage suddenly seemed much smaller than before. Lucas became painfully aware that they were alone, aware that Vince was standing only a few feet away, aware that neither of them seemed eager to break eye contact. His pulse quickened. Vince noticed the slight shift in his breathing. The way his fingers tightened around the edge of his towel. For a moment, something flickered across Vince's face. Something warm and dangerous. Then he smiled and broke the tension first."You should get dressed before you catch a cold." Lucas blinked and the spell shattered instantly. "Oh." He laughed awkwardly. "Right." Vince chuckled. "Let me shower quickl

    Fine!" Her scream echoed through the mansion. Lucas stopped near the doorway.Very slowly, he turned. Derby stood trembling. Tears running down her face. Her chest rising and falling. And then she shouted, "You're not getting any divorce!" The words echoed through the hall."We are tied together!" Lucas stared at her. Her eyes burned with desperation. "Do you fucking hear me?" For several seconds neither moved. Then Lucas looked at her with a sadness she wasn't expecting. "I hear you, but when the papers are ready, you will sign it." Then he opened the door.And walked away. Leaving Derby standing alone in the middle of the mansion with the question, “Is this the same Lucas?” Lucas walked out of the mansion without looking back. The cool evening air hit his face, but it did little to calm the frustration still boiling inside him. Derby's words echoed in his mind.You're not getting any divorce!We are tied together! He exhaled sharply. His ca

    Alex turned the phone back toward himself. "His name is Zenith." Lucas repeated it quietly. "Zenith..." "So he didn't even tell you his name?" "No." Alex looked offended on Lucas's behalf. "He cornered you." Lucas opened his mouth. "He hugged you." Lucas sighed. "He touched you. How dare he" "Alex…" "And then he tried to convince an amnesia patient that they had some epic romance together." Lucas nearly laughed, because as Alex put it that way, it sounded ridiculous. Alex shook his head. "I think it's time somebody addresses his nonsense." Lucas immediately frowned. "What are you planning?" "Nothing illegal." "That answer makes me nervous." Alex grinned. "Good." Lucas groaned. "Alex…" Alex leaned closer. "I'm serious, baby. He is a bitch." His expression became more thoughtful. "If you genuinely don't remember him, then nobody should be pressuring you into accepting a relationship you can't recall. A relationship that

    Lucas immediately tensed. "Please..." Zenith smiled sadly. "We cared about each other, Luc." Lucas tried gently removing Zenith’s arm from him. "I'm sorry." His voice was sincere. "I can't remember." "Then remember." Lucas shook his head. "It doesn't work like that." The atmosphere grew tense.Neither noticed the restroom door opening again. Until a voice came through. "Everything okay, boss?" Both men turned. Marvis stood in the doorway. His eyes immediately landed on Zenith's arm. Then on Lucas's expression. His face hardened. Lucas felt immediate relief."Yeah." He stepped away from Zenith."We're leaving." Marvis didn't move. His gaze remained fixed on Zenith. He wassuspicious, protective, and watching. Zenith slowly removed his arm.Holding both hands up. "No problem." But his eyes remained on Lucas. "Luc." Lucas paused. Zenith smiled. A little sadly. "A memory loss doesn't mean you get rid of me that easily."

    It wasn't fear of Derby or fear of the divorce failing, but fear that while Lucas had been moving closer to him… Vince had also found a place in Lucas's heart. He didn't want him loving Vince, not minding that he was Vince. Alex pushed the thought away immediately, because it was ridiculous. Lucas liked him. Lucas waited for his calls. Lucas asked to see him.So why was he feeling like this? On the other end of the line, Lucas sighed. "Then why do you sound sad?" The question caught Alex off guard. He smiled despite himself.Trust Lucas to notice. Trust Lucas to always hear the things nobody else did. "I'm not sad." "You are bothered about something." "I'm not." "I can feel it. You are." Alex laughed. "You are impossible, Lucas." "And you're avoiding my question."Alex rubbed his forehead. For a moment he considered telling him that hearing about Vince bothered him. And that he was jealous of himself in Vince’s personality. And that the thought of Lu

  • UNCHARTED PATH    Chapter 218. Being ridiculous

    The words escaped in a whisper.He stared ahead. His thoughts began crashing into each other. The kiss. The way he'd felt relieved seeing Vince last night. The way his heart reacted whenever Vince looked at him. The fact that he'd smiled three separate times while reading a simple note. His face slowly paled. "No." He immediately stood. Then sat back down. Then stood again and started pacing. "What is wrong with me?" He ran both hands through his hair.His thoughts spiraled. "What about Alex?" The question struck him hard. The person he'd been thinking about every night. The person whose goodnight calls he waited for. The person who made him feel safe. The person he'd kissed. The person that had expressed his true feelings to him in many ways. Lucas groaned and covered his face. "Oh my gosh, am I falling for Vince too? Why does his kiss make me feel the same way as Alex’s?” His voice echoed through the empty room. "What the fuck is wrong with my head?

    As Lucas turned and walked away, Alex’s fingers were already moving as he went to his office. “Please, let me take you home.”He stared at the screen the moment the message was sent. His chest tightened because he already knew what the answer would be. Knowing Lucas had been pulling back but

    Lucas instinctively flexed his fingers, then stopped, as if caught. It wasn't due to pain but due to the sensation Alex’s touch gave him. “It’s nothing,” he murmured, forcing a small smile. Alex wasn’t convinced. He reached out, careful, his fingers hovering before lightly taking Lucas’s hand. “

    Alex’s hand slid to Lucas’s back, holding him closer as if he had been waiting forever for the moment. Lucas let himself sink into it, eyes closed, the world narrowing down to the feel of Alex’s lips, and the steady rhythm of his breathing. For a brief, fragile moment, everything else…his father

    Lucas swallowed hard. “Yes,” he breathed. Alex let out a shaky laugh. “My heart’s going crazy. Is yours racing right now?” “Yes,” Lucas whispered back. “I think it’s going crazy too.” “Really?” Alex sounded almost relieved. “I like it. That’s a good thing, right?” “What? No—no, it’s not
