The Lost Son's Return Chapter 134
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

As she entered into the Rolls-Royce, Andrea's clothesline had already gotten entirely wet by the heavy rain. As she settled, she was still unsure if she had made the right decision by getting into Josh's car. Who was not a stranger to her, however she also couldn't say that she knew him very well. Not well enough to get in his car and accept a ride from him. What if he turned out to be someone dangerous?They lived in a dangerous city and it was not wise to just get on anyones car accepting a ride in the city, especially someone she didn't know very well. However she quickly removed those thoughts from her head, Josh seemed like a nice guy, not like someone who would want to harm her. Indeed he was a nice guy. He seemed genuinely kind, and someone who had no ill intention. However she was also justified for being cautious given how dangerous it was in the city.Andrea tried to relax, reminding herself that he had never given her a reason to distrust him. In Fact it was quite the op

“Whoa! Are you okay?” Josh asked, concern evident in his voice as he steadied Andrea. If he wasn't there, she would have hit the tiles hard. Thankfully he was there to catch her just in time before she could fall Andrea, regaining her balance with Josh’s help, stood up straight and glanced down at her newly bought dress, now stained with orange juice. She frowned slightly, then she turned to Josh, feeling a flush of embarrassment. “Yeah, thanks for catching me,” she said, her voice laced with regret.Turning her gaze from Josh, she darted her eyes towards where the person she had bumped into was. She noticed that the person she had bumped into, was a man, who looked like he was in his thirties sitting on the floor, glaring up at her with a mix of frustration and anger. “Oh no, I’m so sorry!” Andrea exclaimed, her eyes widening at the sight of the man's shirt stained with the orange juice, however unlike her dress that was also stained, his shirt looked worse, because it was a white

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’

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

Kathy's eyes snapped to Josh, her glare sharp as she processed his words. When she threatened to have him kicked out of college, she expected him to be so afraid. After all, Josh valued his education so much and he would do anything to not get kicked out of the only college that accepted him. It was his only escape from the poverty he was trapped in, and he would do whatever it took to stay enrolled.But his response wasn’t what she expected.What did he just say? The audacity of him to speak to her, as if he were her equal? As if he had the right to challenge her?In reality Josh wasn't even close to being her equal, he was nothing but a pauper, and so seeing him try to challenge her, annoyed her.And it wasn’t just her. The entire lecture hall seemed to be stunned into silence.Josh wasn’t known for standing up for himself before. He was supposed to keep his head down, to be grateful for even being here. But now? Now he was looking at her like she was the inferior one.It was immed
The Lost Son's Return Chapter 179
Having had enough, Josh was about to react. His fingers formed into fists and clenched so tightly his knuckles turned white. His jaw was locked, barely containing the words he wanted to spit back at Kathy and the rest of them.But just as he was about to unleash everything he was holding back, his attention was drawn elsewhere when someone called out to him.“Josh!” a familiar voice echoed from the doorway. Josh’s head snapped toward the sound, his eyes widening as he spotted Mae walking into the lecture hall. He was taken aback. What was she doing here in his class?The whole class turned to see who had interrupted them just as they were about to get what they wanted: Josh's reaction. And to their surprise, it was a pretty girl, around twenty years of age. Mae stood there, her gaze fixed on Josh, a friendly smile lighting up her face as she approached him.The atmosphere in the room shifted. Who was this girl, and how did she know this loser Josh?What surprised them even more was
