Josh was shocked when he read the text from the unknown number. ‘I know what really happened to your mother,’ Was the message from the unknown number.Josh's heart skipped a beat. He reread the message a few times, a look of disbelief evident on his face. He was feeling puzzled and uneasy as he stared at the message. Who could this be? And what did they mean they know what really happened to his mom? His mom wasn't around anymore so it didn't make any sense to him. He glanced around the lecture hall, feeling suddenly out of place. The usual loud chatter of the students filled the lecture, however he couldn't hear it as it felt muffled and distant. His thoughts raced, trying to piece together who might have sent the message and what it could mean. It had been years since his mom had passed away in a car accident, so what did the person who sent the message really mean, by that message?Inhaling deeply, Josh decided to reply to the message. Hesitantly he typed: ‘Who is this?’ pressin

After thinking about it for a few seconds, he decided that it was best to tell Antonio about the text he had received. Knowing that it might potentially be a trap, it was better to tell Antonio about it. Josh sighed as he said, “Hey, Antonio, listen, something weird just happened. I got this text from an unknown number.“Oh….What did it say?” Antonio asked, it was evident in his voice that he was curious.“It said: I know what really happened to your mother.” Josh replied.There was a pause, as Antonio didn't reply for a few seconds, probably processing what Josh just said. After some time he finally replied, “Whoa, that's……” he trailed off, not finishing his sentence. “Do you have any idea who It could be?” he asked.“No, Idea, but they want me to meet them at Northwood park.” Josh replied.Antonio hesitated before speaking again. "Okay, that sounds really suspicious. How about you wait for me and we'll go there together?"Josh nodded in agreement, grateful for Antonio's willingness

Josh stared at his phone in disbelief after the call with the unknown person ended. He knew that whoever the person was, was there at the park watching them, that's how he could have known that Josh had come with someone. What surprised Josh was the fact that they knew who the person he came with was. It made him realize that whoever was behind this knew more than he anticipated. How did they know that the person Josh had come with was his cousin? For them to know that, they must know a lot about Josh, more than he had expected. Josh attempted to call the person again, however the call didn't go through. He tried a few times, with no luck. He sighed in frustration, knowing that it was impossible to reach the unknown person as they probably had switched off their phone. It seemed like they were going through great lengths to hide their identity, determined to not have their voice recognized, they were even using a voice changer. Because he couldn't hear their real voice, Josh couldn'

The next morning, Josh woke up to the sound of his alarm. Feeling refreshed after a good night's rest, he got out of bed. He walked to the window and pulled the blinds open, letting in the sunlight. He then glanced at the clock on the wall to see the time. It was still very early, however he had studies so that meant he needed to prepare for another day of college. He went through his usual morning routine: a quick shower, brushing his teeth, and grabbing a cup of coffee before heading out the door.At college, the day went on smoothly without any incidents. Which Josh appreciated a lot. In the past it was rare for things to go smoothly at college due to people just picking on him. However things were starting to change and he could see it. Lectures were a blur to Josh, he didn't really pay attention to anything, although he tried to focus. For most of the lesson's he found it difficult to concentrate on his studies. His mind kept wandering back to the mysterious text from the previ

Giovanni cleared his throat to get everyone's attention. Once everyone had focused their attention on him to hear what he was going to say, he said, "We have decided on the date for Josh and Lilith's wedding," he announced, his voice final, as it left no room for negotiation. Josh didn't like what he heard. He didn't not like the idea of getting married to Lilith however he didn't say anything or show any reaction to it. He tried to remain composed. After everything Giovanni had done for him, he didn't want to show ungratefulness by refusing to do this one thing for the family. It was thanks to Giovanni that his life had changed for the better, and for that he was very grateful, he was willing to get married to Lilith to repay everything. But he felt that even that wouldn't be enough.Giovanni glanced at Josh, expecting him to object or say something that would show that he wasn't happy with this. However to his surprise not a word from Josh.Giovanni was happy to see that Josh didn'

It didn't make sense to Josh that she would suddenly change her mind and decide to agree to the arranged marriage. No matter what she said, he wasn't convinced that she was doing it all for her family. That could be the case, however he doubted that.He suspected she had another motive for agreeing to this, and that made him angry. He got annoyed because only she could stop the arranged marriage between them, but for whatever reason, she chose not to.Lilith's expression hardened as she took offense at Josh doubting her. Him being suspicious of her motives for agreeing to the marriage was annoying her already. Her eyes flashed with irritation as she met his gaze. "Believe what you want," she replied "My reasons are my own, and whether you believe me or not doesn't change anything.” With that she walked back into the mansion, leaving Josh to his thoughts.Josh let out a sigh of frustration as he watched her retreating figure. The only hope he had to get out of this was her. If she had

The next day at college, Josh was sitting alone at a table in the crowded cafeteria. The sound of chatter and laughter filled the air making it impossible for him to focus on what was on his computer screen. He glanced up from his table and looked around at the crowded cafeteria.‘I should have picked a quieter spot.’ he thought to himself, regretting coming to the cafeteria and thinking it was going to be quiet enough for him to do his assignment.He was trying to write an essay, however due to the noisy atmosphere in the cafeteria it was hard for him to do anything. The cafeteria was lively, with groups of students chatting and laughing as they had conversations about random stuff Josh sighed, realizing that he probably was going to have to pick another place to concentrate better, however he didn't have enough time for that as he had another lecture in less than ten minutes. He had picked the cafeteria as he didn't want to waste time having to walk to the cafe across the street fro

Kathy glared at Josh with a very angry look across her face. She couldn't believe how he had turned the tables on her. It wasn't supposed to go like this at all. She had planned to humiliate him in front of everyone, however she didn't expect him to be the one who humiliated her infront of everyone. Well, it wasn't exactly humiliation, more like he had exposed her. But still, it was embarrassing as he had exposed the fact that she was dating one of their professors for good grades. Which just showed that she had no standards, like she was claimed to have.The remarks about Kathy continued, and Josh enjoyed not being on the receiving end of mean and ridiculing remarks for the first time in a long time. What made it even better was that, the personal on the receiving end was someone who deserved what she was getting, Kathy.Some students didn't hold back from making derogatory comments about her, their disdainful expressions reflecting their disapproval. The revelation that one of the

“And when you find him? What happens then?” He asked.Josh watched his grandfather closely, waiting for his answer. Whatever Mr. Ramirez chose to do with Reaper would say a lot about the kind of man he truly was.It was safe to say Josh didn’t know his grandfather that well. He had power, control, and influence, but what kind of person was he underneath it all?“He’ll face justice. What do you think?” Mr Ramirez said. “We’ll hand him over to the authorities.”Josh hadn’t expected to hear that.If this had been Giovanni, Reaper wouldn’t have made it past sunrise. No trial. No mercy. Josh still remembered how effortlessly his other grandfather had executed those two men for betraying him, no hesitation in his actions.This was the difference between Mr. Ramirez and Giovanni. One believed in fairness, the other in ruthless control.Josh was happy to see that his grandfather from his mom's side was a different person from Giovanni.Just then, Catalina walked in, her sharp gaze immediately

Josh ignored Catalina. But he also didn’t bother trying to go with them to see Matteo. Mr. Ramirez shot Catalina a cold look in disapproval. “If it weren’t for Josh, Matteo wouldn’t have made it here in time.” He scolded.Catalina said nothing, but she had a slight look of realization across her face. No matter how she felt about Josh, it was thanks to him and the other two people that Matteo was here at the hospital in time.She, Dean, Marco, and Isabella went inside the ICU where Matteo was.Josh stayed back, leaning against the wall. He didn’t show it, but the rejection bothered him.When Marco and Isabella made it clear they didn’t accept him, it bothered him, but not that much. Catalina, though… She was his deceased mother’s sister. He expected her to treat him with at least some kindness. Guess he was wrong for thinking that.Josh exhaled slowly, pushing the thought aside. He wasn’t about to beg for acceptance. If they didn’t want him around, fine.Without another word, he tur

Mr. Ramirez’s gaze remained cold as he looked at Dante. “Where is this… Reaper?” he asked Dante hesitated, shaking his head in denial. “I… I don’t know, sir.”Mr. Ramirez studied him for a long moment, his expression unreadable. Before he could say anything else, the waiting room doors burst open.Mateo’s parents, Catalina and Dean, rushed inside, their faces filled with worry. Marco followed closely behind them, equally as worried.“Dad, how is my son? Where is Mateo?” Catalina asked, her voice shaking.Josh tensed as he watched them. It was the first time he had ever seen Mateo’s parents in person. Since Matteo was his cousin, then the woman must be his mom's sister, his aunt. Josh also noticed a resemblance between her and him, it was subtle but still noticeable. Mr. Ramirez turned to them. “I have spoken to the doctor. He is stable… we’ll be able to see him soon.”A shaky breath of relief escaped Dean's mouth. “Thank God.”Catalina clutched her husband’s arm, but the worry in

Reaper stepped back, yanking the knife free from Mateo's side.Mateo staggered backward, his hand instinctively flying to his side, pressing against the wound. He felt weak, struggling to stay on his feet.Warm blood seeped between his fingers. His breath came out in uneven gasps, his body refusing to keep up with what had just happened. He did not think Reaper would pull a knife and take this too far.Josh was in shock for 5 full seconds,but as soon as he was back to his senses he called out, “Mateo!” He lunged forward, catching his cousin before he could collapse completely.The garage fell into stunned silence. Even The Ghosts looked momentarily unsure, shifting uncomfortably as if they hadn't expected Reaper to take it this far.Leo swore under his breath and rushed to Mateo’s side. “Shit. Quick, we need to get him out of here. Now.”Dante, who had been frozen in shock, suddenly snapped back to reality. He turned to Reaper, his expression unreadable. “What the fuck did you just do

Mateo exhaled loudly, his irritation evident. “I can’t believe Dante invited those guys,” he muttered, shaking his head.Just then, as if summoned by the complaint, a man around Mateo’s age approached them. “What’s up, fellas?” he greeted cheerfully, completely ignorant to Mateo’s scowl.Mateo frowned as he glared at him. “Dante, what the fuck! You invited that guy here?” He asked angrily, but in a hushed tone. Dante frowned. “What are you talking about?” Mateo gestured toward the Ghosts with a glare. “Why the hell are they here?”“Oh, you mean Reaper and his friends?” Dante rubbed the back of his neck, realizing what he had done by inviting Reaper here. He didn't think Mateo would be here when he invited Reaper. But now, he realized that he shouldn't have, not only was Mateo probably feeling betrayed by him, but the whole party was nervous and they were right to be so. “Yeah… I told them to stop by.” Dante replied.“Why?”Dante sighed, running a hand through his hair. “Look, it’
The Lost Son's Return chapter 184
Four people walked through the door, and strolled in like they owned the place.Josh didn’t recognize them, but the party’s reaction told him everything he needed to know. These guys weren’t just regular party guests.He overheard snippets of whispers around him. Everyone was surprisingly talking about how much trouble these guys were. That they shouldn't be here.“Shit, what are they doing here?” Someone asked irritably.“Who the hell invited the ghosts here?”“This is about to get messy…”As Josh listened more he caught the name. The four guys who walked in were members of The Ghosts, a gang known for their ruthless reputation and the fear they left in their wake.They weren’t just infamous, they were the kind of people no one wanted to cross. Wherever they showed up, trouble followed, and from the way the entire party fell silent, it was clear everyone knew it.The group walked in confidently, completely unfazed by the attention they were getting. One of them, a tall guy, known as

Josh's eyes widened slightly at Mae's question. What made her think she was a De La Cruz? Well, the De La Cruz family was one of the college's sponsors, so it wasn’t surprising that some people might assume things.Plus, Mae didn't assume anything wrong. Still, no one was supposed to know he was a De La Cruz, yet.Just as Josh was about to answer Mae’s question, the professor’s voice sounded in their ears."New girl, Mr. Josh, if you're done with your little conversation, perhaps you’d like to pay attention to the lesson?" The professor sad sternly.Josh immediately turned back to face the front, straightening in his seat. Mae also did the same, however there was an amused glint in her eyes.Josh exhaled quietly. He was glad that the professor had intervened because that was close. He wasn’t sure how much Mae actually knew about him, but for now, the topic had been dropped, at least for the moment.After classes ended, Josh left campus and arrived home in the evening. The moment he s

“Uh... umm...” The student stammered, his earlier confidence disappearing. Josh’s calm yet commanding demeanor, his unblinking gaze, and the way he stood there , blocking his exit, made it clear this wasn’t the same Josh they were used to seeing. He was scary.Kathy scoffed, leaning forward with a look of smug amusement. "Oh? Or what?" she challenged, her voice still filled with mockery. "What’s your next move if he doesn’t pick it up?”Josh’s eyes shot to her briefly before he replied simply, “You’ll see.”“Is that a threat?”At that immediate moment, right behind Josh, the principal entered as well. His expression remained unreadable as he scanned the room before his gaze landed on Kathy."Kathy.” He called out to her, and without any hesitation he said, “You're expelled from this university.”Kathy felt the blood drain from her face upon hearing the principal's words. “Excuse me?” Her voice broke as the words sank in. She blinked rapidly, sure she must have misheard him. Expelled?
The Lost Son's Return Chapter 181
A murmur of confusion filled the lecture hall upon hearing Josh's bold words. A few students exchanged uncertain glances. It was hard to tell if he was simply putting on an act to show off to Mae, or if he was being serious. They were certain at first that he was putting on an act, however now they weren't any more. No one would be this confident when their future was on the line, especially someone like Josh, who supposedly had everything to lose.“What does that mean?” someone whispered.“Is he still pretending?” another scoffed, though there was a slight hesitation in their voice now. The initial impression that Josh was acting had started to crack, and the possibility that he might actually be serious lingered.Kathy, too, hesitated for a brief moment, her smirk wavering slightly as she considered the possibility that Josh might actually be serious.But she caught herself quickly, rolling her eyes. “Please,” she scoffed. “You’re just embarrassing yourself at this point.”Just t
