With that decision made, Alex chuckled bitterly, knowing that defensive distance sometimes could cut deeper than confrontation.

“I’ll keep it controlled and quietly devastating, so he will come back to me,” Alex whispered to himself.

When they closed for the day, Alex watched him leave from his office. He wished he could take him home but he had to keep to his decision. But he wondered why he had not seen him with his bike yet. He decided to dig into him.

Instantly, he checked on Wes

  • UNCHARTED PATH    Chapter 217. Falling for Vince

    Meanwhile, last night when Derby was getting drunk, the cottage had grown quiet. Outside, the night insects sang softly, while inside only the warm glow of a bulb illuminated the small living room. Vince glanced at the clock as Lucas checked his phone for the third time. “Is everything alright?” Lucas nodded absentmindedly.But instead of walking to the bed, he checked his phone again. Vince noticed, for the fourth time in ten minutes. A small smile tugged at his lips. "Waiting for someone’s call?" Lucas looked up. "Hmm?" "Your phone." Vince nodded toward it. "You keep checking it." Lucas immediately looked down at the screen again, still no message. A faint look of disappointment crossed his face before he hid it. Vince pretended not to know why."Why don't you call her instead of waiting for her to call?" Vince said as he walked over and climbed onto the bed. Lucas's head snapped up instantly. "No!" The answer came so fast that Vince

  • UNCHARTED PATH    Chapter 216. Fuck me

    Jerry's expression tightened. The woman looked completely shattered. "Come on, ma'am," he said gently. "I'll take you to him." It was a lie, but it was the only thing he could think of to get her safely inside. The moment she heard those words, Derby nodded obediently."Okay." She allowed him to guide her toward the house. Every few steps she stumbled. Every few steps she mumbled Lucas's name. The sound became harder and harder to listen to. By the time they reached her bedroom, Jerry was exhausted. He pushed the door open. The room was dark, quiet and empty. Exactly the opposite of what Derby wanted. The moment they stepped inside, she looked around. Confusion appeared on her face. "Lucas?" No answer.Her eyes began filling with tears again. "Lucas..." Jerry carefully helped her sit on the edge of the bed. "Ma'am, you should get some rest." But Derby suddenly grabbed his wrist. The strength in her grip surprised him. "Don't leave, please fuck me."

    Meanwhile earlier as Lucas left the mansion, the front door slammed so hard that the sound echoed through the entire mansion. Derby flinched. For several seconds, she remained frozen where she stood, staring at the closed door as if Lucas might suddenly walk back through it. But he didn't. The silence that followed felt suffocating. Her chest tightened painfully. "He really left..." The realization hit her harder than she expected. Lucas had never looked at her the way he did that night. The disappointment, the anger, the betrayal were all there in his eyes. Worst of all, she couldn't even blame him. A sharp wave of guilt crashed over her. Slowly, she turned toward Larissa. She was still standing near the dining table with her arms crossed. The sight of her immediately reignited Derby's frustration. "This is all your fault!" Derby snapped. Larissa's eyes widened. "My fault?" "Yes, it's your fault!" Derby shouted. "What kind of ridiculous advice

  • UNCHARTED PATH    Chapter 214. Stay

    The question had slipped from Lucas's mouth before he could think twice about it. Vince himself was taken unaware, and he nearly dropped his mug. "What did you say?" He asked again. Lucas looked at him. He had a choice to go and lodged somewhere but he didn't want to. So he responded. “I say, may I stay the night, please?" His voice came quieter now. "I don't want to see her face again tonight." Vince blinked. The seriousness in Lucas's eyes erased any temptation to joke. Then Lucas added. "I told her I want a divorce." The cottage went completely silent. Vince stared at him. "What?" The word escaped him again. Lucas took a sip from his mug, and nodded. "Hmm." Vince stared. For a moment he genuinely thought he had heard wrong. A divorce? His heart nearly exploded. Inside his head, an entirely different reaction was taking place.Way to go, baby. About time you show them, my love. Best decision you've made all year. Somehow he managed not to s

  • UNCHARTED PATH    Chapter 213. May I stay?

    There was no response.Lucas frowned and knocked again.Knock. Knock. Still nothing. The cottage remained silent.He waited a few seconds before knocking a third time. “Vince, are you in there?” He heard nothing. The only answer was the distant chirping of insects outside. Lucas sighed. “Don't tell me you actually went drinking.” He knocked a fourth time. The moment his knuckles hit the wood, the door shifted inward. Lucas blinked. “Oh, the door wasn't locked?” It had been slightly open all along but he didn't know. So he pushed it wider. “Hello?” Silence greeted him. A single bulb in the kitchen dimly lit the cottage. Everything appeared normal but the house seemed empty. Lucas stepped inside and shut the door behind him. “Vince, are you in here?”No answer. He checked the kitchen and the washroom but they were empty. The bedroom door stood partially open. He peeks in but there is no Vince. Lucas rubbed the back of his neck. “S

    The moment they finished cleaning, Derby’s phone buzzed loudly against the dining table.She quickly grabbed it. “Oh thank goodness,” she sighed. “They finally called.” Lucas glanced at the screen briefly before looking away. Derby answered excitedly and immediately opened her laptop. The second her attention shifted to the conversation, Lucas released a slow breath of relief. Thank goodness. Please let this call last for hours. He didn’t think he could survive pretending much longer tonight. Lucas headed upstairs to shower. The warm water from his shower did nothing to calm his nerves. His mind remained restless and heavy.By the time he changed into his night clothes and climbed into bed, exhaustion had already settled deep into his bones. A few minutes later, his phone buzzed softly. It was Alex. For the first time that day, a tiny bit of warmth entered Lucas’s chest. Their conversation was short, simple, but comforting.Alex’s voice somehow eased the suffo

    You brought me here?” His gaze snapped back to Alex. “To your place?” “Yes,” Alex responded with a smile. “Why would you do that?” Lucas demanded, his voice sharpening despite the pounding in his head. “You should have taken me home.” Alex’s jaw tightened. “You were dead drunk and couldn’t

    He stepped out, walked around the car, and carefully opened the door. The moment he unbuckled him, Lucas instinctively leaned into him. “Hey… we’re home,” Alex murmured but there was no response. Shaking his head affectionately, Alex slid one arm under Lucas’s knees and the other around his b

    After breakfast, the tension didn’t disappear, it just settled into something quieter. Lucas stood first, gathering the plates before Alex could stop him. “I’ll wash,” he muttered. Alex didn’t argue. He simply rose and followed him into the kitchen.Water ran and porcelain clinked softly. Their s

    Alex let out a soft breath against Lucas’s ear. “Sweetheart, relax. It’s not poison. You can swallow it.” His thumb brushed the corner of Lucas’s mouth. “There’s still some on your cheek.” Flustered, Lucas lifted his hand to wipe it away, but Alex caught his wrist midair.
