Lucas struggled, trying to pry Zenith’s hands off him, but the man only tightened his grip, his breath hot against Lucas’s ear as he whispered, “Come on, sweetheart. Relax. Stop behaving like a child.”

Something snapped within Lucas. His hands were struggling to loosen the rope on Lucas’s pants.

“Take your goddamn hands off me,” Lucas growled, fury ripping through his voice.

He didn’t wait for a response. Gathering every ounce of strength he had, Lucas jerked his head back and slammed

  • UNCHARTED PATH    Chapter 225. Missed your touch

    In my memory flash, you kissed me in a walk in fridge" He stared at him for seconds and whispered again, “You’re not Vince, you're my Alex, right?” For a moment Alex couldn't speak.Couldn't breathe, couldn't even think.Everything he'd wanted to hear.Everything he'd dreamed of hearing.And now it was finally happening. His own eyes began to sting. A shaky laugh escaped him. Half joy, and half relief. He lifted a trembling hand and brushed away Lucas's tears.Then rested his forehead against his.Their breaths mingling. Their hearts racing together. "Yeah." His voice broke completely."Yeah, baby." A tear slid down his own cheek. "It's me, your Alex." Lucas let out a sob. The sound shattered whatever restraint Alex had left. He pulled him back into his arms. Holding him fiercely, and protectively. Like he'd never let go again. Lucas clung to him just as tightly.Because after all the confusion, thinking his heart was falling for Vince. His heart was never

    The room felt suffocatingly quiet.Alex's phone had already betrayed him. The ringtone still echoed in both their minds. Lucas stood frozen. The phone screen is the same. The pendant similarities. Everything was crashing together. And now, he was staring directly at Vince, waiting and demanding for answers. That question gripped Alex harder than anything else. Not because Lucas thought he was a thief. But because the question revealed something far more dangerous. Lucas was suspecting the truth. Not consciously, but the pieces were beginning to connect. Alex swallowed. His throat suddenly felt dry. "I'm not a thief." His voice came out lower than intended. Lucas didn't blink, he didn't move or even look away. The silence stretched. Then Lucas nodded slowly. "You're not a thief."His eyes remained fixed on him.Searching, studying, and almost pleading. His voice softened. "Are you wearing lenses?"Alex's heart slammed painfully hard against his ribs. Fo

    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."

    By dawn, Lucas woke before his alarm. His heart was already racing, the weight of excitement pressing against his ribs. For a moment he lay still, staring at the ceiling, then it hit him again—he had a job. Not just any job, but as an assistant chef at Benson’s. His lips curved into a smile bef
