MY UNKNOWN HUSBAND, VOLUME 3 - Season 6 Episode 9

Demi, Tasha and the others fanned out and searched the island. But Cali was well hidden. Meanwhile, they kept seeing the same scenery, almost as if they were running in circles.

“It’s really weird, Demi. Do you think that guy was right?” Tasha stopped and looked around. Everything looked the same. “We don’t seem to be making any progress, like we’re in a maze.”

Demi also stopped to survey the scene. She was much calmer than Tasha.

“You’re right. There’s something wrong here.”

“Yeah. Freaky.” Tasha started to feel the first pangs of fear. She knew science couldn’t explain everything.

Demi said impatiently, “No. It’s a maze. We’re not running in circles. The trees on this island are almost identical to each other. That’s why we’re lost. Look at the trail behind us and the grass in front of us. We’ve been moving forward this whole time.”

Tasha looked around and felt a little better. The grass in front of them was lush and green. Behind them, the grass had been trampled, flattened against the ground.

She’d taken the man’s words too seriously. He was just telling tales, stories to frighten children. She was no child, and there was no reason to be afraid.

Tasha breathed a sigh of relief. “Let’s keep going. If we left a trail, Cali must have too. We can use that to find her.”

“We haven’t found anything like that so far. I guess Cali didn’t come this way.” Demi was worried.

She had to stop Cali from getting to Vicente. Otherwise, her cover would be blown.

‘Damn it! When did Cali become so smart?’ she thought.

“Then what do we do now?” Tasha looked ahead, but all she saw was more forest.

“I don’t know. Keep going.” Demi didn’t know what to do.

They didn’t know where they were going. They couldn’t find a path or any trace of her. So Cali was probably just as lost.

She should still be on the island, right? When they were about to continue their journey, Tasha suddenly heard a strange noise behind her. She immediately raised her hand to stop them. “Wait! Don’t move. Someone’s following us.”

“Who is it?” Demi heard it too. She turned around quickly and looked around vigilantly. “Come out!”

Tasha also shouted, “Human or no, we have guns trained on you!”

“I’m human. Don’t shoot.” Before they could see him, they had heard his voice.
They followed the sound and saw a figure emerge from behind the tree. Demi recognized him instantly. “Mr. Ye?”

When she saw Noah clearly, Demi’s pupils shrank. Why was he here? She wondered if he heard what they were talking about along the way.

Noah was Vicente’s guest. If Noah was here because he found out the truth, things would go south.

Tasha was just as shocked as Demi. She had seen Noah in the cinema and they talked a while. When she thought about those seemingly ordinary conversations, they weren’t so ordinary now. Like he was testing her.

But Tasha knew it was too late now. She never thought she’d see the guy this soon, at least not like this.

She wondered if Noah recognized her. So Tasha had to find out.

“Demi, who is this Mr. Ye?”

“He is friends with Count Nangong and Princess Nina.” Demi looked at Tasha.

She didn’t understand why Tasha asked about Noah.

Noah’s keen eyes fell on Tasha. “We’ve met before. In the cinema. You were just a waitress then.”

‘He does remember!’

Tasha thought something bad might happen, so she played along. “That’s right. You’re that nice man from the theater. I disguised myself to protect Princess Nina.”

“So you were protecting Nina then.” Noah smiled. No one could read his mind. His eyes seemed gentle enough.

Tasha didn’t know whether he believed her or not.

She got a little anxious and glanced at Demi. Demi could sense the tension in their exchange. She knew Noah already had his suspicions about Tasha.

Demi wrote Tasha off. She was compromised. But maybe she could salvage something and save herself.

“Tasha, I don’t remember giving you that assignment.” Demi narrowed her eyes and pushed Tasha away. “Tasha, who are you working for?”

With Demi’s action, the original group of people were quickly divided into two groups. Both groups faced each other.

Tasha and Demi often worked together. They could tell from a glance what the other was thinking.

Tasha knew it didn’t matter if she was exposed. Demi couldn’t be exposed, or Jett’s efforts would be in vain.

“Sounds like you know something you shouldn’t.” Tasha began to play along.

Noah said, “Cali ran away with the babies because she found out who you were.”

“Mr. Ye, you are so smart. I didn’t expect Cali to be so smart. Demi and I go way back, and she didn’t know. I didn’t expect a servant to find out. That’s impressive.”

Tasha smiled and raised her hand. Her men got the signal and surrounded them.

Demi had fewer men than Tasha.

“You’re outnumbered and outgunned. You know too much. You’re not getting out of here alive.” Tasha ordered her men forward.

But Demi thought quickly and shouted, “Tasha, you can hurt me if you want, but you can’t hurt Mr. Ye. He’s not from here. You’ll cause an international incident. Will you go that far?”

“Stop!” Tasha barked a command at her men. She knew Demi was right. “Tie them up. They’ll go with us to find Cali.”

As soon as someone charged Noah, he knocked his opponent down. Another man approached with a gun, and Noah grabbed the gun and beat him with the butt. “I don’t think so,” he said.

Looking at the two men on the ground in pain, Tasha said, “Don’t think I can’t do anything to you. Guys, go get him. As long as he’s not dead, you can do anything you want.”

“Yes, ma’am.” The group of people closed in on Noah.

Demi watched this play out. As soon as the fight started, she saw another figure jump out of the brush, as agile as a cheetah.

“Watch out!” She warned Tasha. Others thought she was warning Noah.

An arm snaked around Tasha’s neck, and she felt the touch of cold steel. John had a dagger to her throat.

“Tell them to stop,” John threatened.

Tasha held her breath and ordered her men to stop. “Stop, all of you.”

Everyone stopped fighting and looked at her.

“There you are,” Noah said with a smile. John ignored him.

“Tasha!”

The others wanted to save Tasha, but John put more pressure on the blade. Blood began to trickle. Tasha was so scared that her face turned pale.

“No! Just stay there, stand
Down!”
