“What?” The word slipped from Lucas’s lips before he could stop it. He stared at Alex, genuinely confused. A hug? Were they really that close? Or was he reading far too much into this?

His heart betrayed him instantly, slamming hard against his ribs as he imagined… the image that stood a few feet away from him. His tall frame, those striking green eyes, and his arms pulling him close. Heat rushed to his face.

“Get a grip on yourself, Lucas. He is your boss, and you need this job. Besides,

  • 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

  • UNCHARTED PATH    Chapter 224. Couldn't lie

    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

  • UNCHARTED PATH    Chapter 222. I hear you

    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

  • UNCHARTED PATH    Chapter 221. I can't stop

    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."

    Lucas's heart picked up, thudding, and he nearly said he would miss him too, but luckily Alex spoke. “Do you have an apartment here?” He asked slowly hoping that he wouldn't. Lucas stared straight ahead. “No but this is where I’m staying, at least for now.” Alex hissed out a relieved breat

    All he wanted desperately was to taste Lucas’s lips again. He was already too close, his breath warm against Lucas’s face as he murmured, low and urgent, “My Lucas… I’m craving to taste your lips again.” The words barely left his mouth before reality struck. Just as he leaned in, instinct overro

    Ignoring Zenith, he bent, picked up the ladle, dropped it in the sink, and picked up another clean one. Then closed his eyes—just for a heartbeat. He inhaled deeply. Then again and again. It worked like magic. The chaos around him faded, replaced by the memory of a quiet kitchen. The long nights of

Knife moving in clean, precise strokes leaving onions and herbs in perfect cuts. He refused to give Zenith the satisf
