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

    Throughout the lecture, Josh managed to take notes, trying to immerse himself in the lesson's. The lecture seemed to go on and on, but Josh managed to stay focused. As the professor wrapped up and the bell rang, signaling the end of class, Josh let out a sigh of exhaustion, gla that he was done with classes for the day. Eager to hear out of the lecture hall, he packed up his things. A few minutes later, Josh exited the college building and into the campus ground's. As Josh walked across the campus grounds, he was deep in thought, reflecting on the events of the day. The noise of students chatting and the sounds of footsteps filled the air, creating a lively background noise to his thoughts. Suddenly, he heard someone call his name.“Hey, Josh?” It was a familiar voice, however Josh couldn't recall who it belonged to.Stopping on his track's, he swiveled his head to look behind him, curious about who had called out to him. To his surprise, he saw a familiar face approaching him. It wa

    The students' eyes locked onto Josh, his posture straightening as he tried to intimidate him. "You really think you can tell me what to do, huh?" He sneered. "Move the fuck away or you're going to get it!"Josh didn’t move, "You’re the one who should," he said, his tone calm but commanding. "You’re bothering her, and I’m not going to ignore it."Andrea shifted uneasily beside him, glancing at the guy before looking back at Josh. She wanted to tell him to just leave it, to avoid any more confrontations with Ace, but she stayed quiet, hoping Josh could finally scare him and his friend Ron into leaving her alone. Ever since she started at this college, Ace and Ron had been relentlessly bothering her, asking her out over and over. She had turned them down countless times, but they never stopped, it had turned into harassment at this point.Ace took a step closer, chest puffed out as he tried to make himself more intimidating, hoping Josh would back off,"Why the couch are you still on my f

    The next day, at around 7 in the morning, Josh arrived at college, he walked down the campus grounds, passing by a group of guys standing near the main hallway, their excited chatter filtering through as he moved by. He didn’t know what they were talking about but neither did he care at first, however when they mentioned a familiar name he was slightly curious."Did you see Isabella’s stream last night? Man, she looked incredible!"Some guy dressed in red jeans and a jacket said in enthusiasm.Isabella. Was one of the hottest girls on campus and an online streamer, who played video games, with quite a good following. Josh had heard the name plenty of times, seen her once or twice in passing, but he didn’t pay it much mind. He even donated to her stream a few days ago, but he had done that for fun, and nothing else, not because he wanted to be noticed by her or something, unlike the other people.But he had to say that the way people seemed to talk about her like she was some goddess

    Josh moved quickly down the stairs, his heartbeat thundering in his chest as he pursued the mysterious figure. Hoping to catch up to him and ask him questions.The shadowy intruder was swift, sprinting through the mansion’s dimly lit corridors with ease, his footsteps barely making a sound. Despite Josh's best efforts, he struggled to keep up, his shoes hitting the polished floor heavily as he turned corner after corner, desperate to close the distance."Hey! Stop!" Josh called out, but the figure showed no sign of slowing down. Josh picked up pace, and he could feel frustration building up inside him, with each second, the man’s elusive speed almost mocking him. Although Josh was trying his best to run fast and catch up,his attempts were futile, he couldn't catch up with the man.They reached the grand staircase leading to the main entrance, and just as Josh rounded the last bend, he caught a little glimpse of the figure slipping out of a side door into the night. By the time Josh ma

    Josh knew some people had expected him to act differently, more ruthlessly, more like a true ‘De La Cruz.’ Giovanni hadn’t said much, but the silence bothered him. It was a silence that spoke volumes, making Josh wonder if his grandfather shared the same doubts as the others.Not wanting to dwell on it any longer, Josh pulled out his phone, deciding to put the night behind him. He quickly dialed his bodyguard and driver to come and pick him up, hoping to escape the weight of the evening as soon as possible.Not long after he made the phone call, a sleek black Rolls-Royce pulled up in front of him. His bodyguard stepped out of the vehicle and silently opened the door, waiting for Josh to get in. As Josh took a step forward, ready to leave the night behind, he heard the soft but distinct sound of footsteps approaching him from behind.Josh paused on his tracks, his hand resting on the car door, and glanced back over his shoulder, catching sight of a familiar figure moving toward him.

    Lilith had no comment on Josh’s actions. She could see Mrs. Washington’s disappointment, the frustration appearing on her face as she watched the man who was supposed to be the future son-in-law of their family display complete weakness in front of more than a hundred people. Mrs. Washington shook her head in disdain, her voice dripping with scorn as she continued to speak on Josh. “What a disgrace,” she murmured, loud enough for those around her to hear. Her displeasure with Josh was justifiable according to herself. How could a soon to be son-in-law of hers act like that? He let someone who had put hands on him earlier walk away without a consequence? To her, it wasn’t just a show of weakness from Josh, it also revealed a lack of self-respect. If Josh had any, he would show no mercy and would have taught the man who dared to disrespect him a lesson. “Giovanni must be very disappointed. Total weakness from Josh. A real De La Cruz would’ve made Walton pay. No hesitation, no mercy.”

    The room was filled with the murmur of the crowd, their astonished whispers growing louder as they wondered what Giovanni's grandson was going to do to the person who had wronged him earlier. It was no longer a secret that Chris Walton had dared to attack Josh De La Cruz at this event earlier. No doubt a foolish and dangerous move from Mr Walton. Everyone knew he was about to face serious consequences for that. So, would Giovanni's grandson exact his revenge on Mr. Walton? The anticipation filled the air, with everyone eager to see how Josh would handle the situation and what retribution Walton would face.It wasn't about if he was going to get his revenge or not? The answer was already obvious. He was A De La Cruz, so of course he was going to get his revenge from the person who had wronged him! The real question was; how was Josh going to take his revenge? What was he going to do to Mr Walton?The event attendees watched intently as their gaze shifted between Josh and Giovanni, eag

    Chris Walton struggled to accept the revelation. How on earth could Josh be related to Giovanni De La Cruz, let alone be his grandson? It all sounded like a made-up lie to him. However Giovanni had no reason to deceive him, so Chris had no choice but to believe it. It had to be the truth.It wouldn't even matter whether he chose to believe it or not anyways, because either way, Giovanni was involved and he was on Josh's side.The truth was undeniable, Josh was indeed Giovanni's grandson. A wave of regret washed over Chris as he began to realize how bad this was. He had made a big mistake. Only if someone had told him that the young man who had approached him and introduced himself earlier was actually a De La Cruz, then Chris wouldn't have been so rude to him. Chris had taken the fact that Josh had been nice and humble towards him earlier as weakness. He thought Josh was just a nobody who wasn't on his level and was unworthy of his respect or attention. Plus the fact that Amelia was

    Giovanni’s face darkened, his expression turning icy upon hearing Mr. Walton's disrespectful reference to Josh. He couldn't believe that someone would be bold enough to insult his grandson in front of him. Even if Giovanni hadn’t been there earlier, Giovanni wondered why anyone would disrespect his grandson in the first place. Hadn’t they realized who Josh was already? Giovanni had made a point of introducing Josh to many people that night to ensure his identity was known, so he assumed Mr. Walton was aware of who Josh was. The fact that Mr. Walton had still gone on to insult him seemed baffling to Giovanni. It was as if they were daring fate itself, how could anyone be so reckless as to insult his grandson in front of him? Were they tired of living?The insult aimed at his grandson was unacceptable, and Giovanni couldn’t stand by silently. Fixing his gaze on Mr. Walton, Giovanni’s voice was low but filled with menace. “You’ll refrain from insulting my family in my presence,” he said

    After speaking with Vincenzo for a while, Antonio left him upstairs and returned to the venue. As he approached Giovanni, he appeared deep in thought.Giovanni, noticing Antonio’s preoccupied expression, asked, “Is everything alright?”Startled from his thoughts, Antonio quickly forced a smile and replied, “Yeah, everything’s fine.” He chose to lie, not wanting to reveal his encounter with Vincenzo. Antonio knew that if Giovanni discovered that Vincenzo, the traitor, was at the event, it would only lead to trouble.Meanwhile.As the night progressed, Josh and Bianca finally parted ways. However they exchanged numbers, something Josh didn't expect to happen, but he was atill very happy. He was still surprised that she had taken a liking to him. Because he wasn't used to people taking a liking to him. That was one of the reasons he never had many girlfriends in his 20 years of life, and the only girlfriend he had turned out to be the worst human being, only dating him because of a bet.
