All Chapters of UNCHARTED PATH : Chapter 191 - Chapter 200

Before the rushed wedding, Emily had been out of town for work. The project had kept her busy for days. It left her with little time to properly check in on Lucas aside from occasional messages that strangely went unanswered. What she didn’t know was that shortly after the wedding plans began, Lucas’s father had secretly instructed Derby to block Emily’s number from Lucas’s phone. They couldn’t risk Emily interfering. Especially when she had always supported Alex and Lucas’s relationship. So while the entire wedding arrangement unfolded rapidly, Emily remained completely unaware. It wasn’t until she returned to town that she heard the shocking news from outsiders instead. Lucas got married to Derby. Emily had stood frozen in disbelief after hearing it. “What nonsense is that?” She had muttered angrily because nothing about it made sense. Lucas had been deeply in love with Alex before the accident. There was no way he would suddenly agree to marry Derby barely week

Jason quickly leaned forward before Alex’s emotions spiraled further out of control. “Big bro, we need to tread carefully,” he said firmly. “If we move recklessly, we’ll scare Lucas or worse, give them a clue that we know what they’re doing.” Emily nodded immediately. “Yes, Jason is right.” Alex pushed a frustrated hand through his hair and stood up halfway before sitting back down again. “Damn it, I can’t think straight right now,” he snapped under his breath. “How the hell am I supposed to stay calm after hearing all this?” His chest rose heavily. “The only thing I can think of is bringing Lucas out of that house and telling him everything.” “No,” Emily said instantly. Alex looked at her sharply. “That will only create chaos,” she explained. “They’ll twist the story and label you a manipulative ex, or worse, a kidnapper.” Her expression softened slightly. “You have to remember, Lucas doesn’t remember you right now. He barely even remembers himself.” That trut

Emily turned back toward them before leaving. “From my side, they won’t suspect anything,” she said confidently. “I’m not going to tell Lucas anything for now. As long as Mavis and Jerry do their jobs well, no one will find out.” The tension around the table eased slightly. “Oh… one more thing,” Emily added casually. “The marriage hasn’t been consummated.” “What?” Jason nearly blurted out. For the first time since the disastrous wedding, a genuine smile curved across Alex’s lips. “Is that actually true?” he asked, unable to hide the hope in his voice. Emily nodded. “Yes. Lucas said he feels nothing for her.” “Yes.” Alex made a hop up slightly before he could stop himself. A relief washed over his face. “That’s the best news I’ve heard today.” Jason chuckled softly. “Looks like Derby’s perfect plan isn’t so perfect after all.” Emily smirked faintly before looking at Mavis and Jerry again.“Anyway, the reason I brought it up is because of the bodyguard assi

“But don’t worry,” Alex continued firmly. “We’ll sort this out.” Lucas looked back at him quickly.“I didn’t tell you that I’m unh…” Alex interrupted him softly by massaging his hand gently between both of his. “I already saw the answer in your eyes,” he said quietly. “You’re not happy. That marriage agreement is a mistake.” Lucas froze. “Don't worry, I’m going to get you out of that marriage.” The certainty in Alex’s voice left Lucas staring at him in wonder.This man spoke as though rescuing him was already decided.As though loving him was the most natural thing in the world. Alex smiled softly afterward.“Trust me,” he murmured. “And please, unblock my number. May I have your phone?” He stretched out his hand toward Lucas expectantly. Lucas hesitated briefly before slowly handing him his phone. What happened next stunned him completely. Without asking for the password, Alex unlocked the phone effortlessly and navigated straight to the blocked contacts l

“Of course,” Derby replied confidently. “I told him everything, and he supported the idea.” Lucas sighed heavily in frustration and rubbed his forehead. At that exact moment, another knock sounded before Emily entered the room casually. She carried her handbag while pretending to search around the room anxiously. “Have either of you seen my office keys?” she asked distractedly. “I think I misplaced them yesterday.” Lucas immediately turned toward her in annoyance. “Em, can you believe what I’m hearing?” Emily blinked innocently. “What happened?” “She brought bodyguards for me,” Lucas complained. “Can you imagine that?” Emily slowly shifted her gaze toward Derby, pretending surprise. “Oh… you actually did?” “Yes,” Derby answered before Lucas could continue. “It’s only for his safety.” Lucas folded his arms irritably. “Tell her this is unnecessary.” Emily paused for a second as though thinking deeply about it. To Lucas’s surprise, she nodded slo
