The atmosphere around the bar was relaxed, with a few guests enjoying their drinks and engaging in quiet conversations.Getting to the bar, Josh took a seat on a plush bar stool and signaled to the bartender. The bartender, a well-dressed man with a well kept mustache and professional demeanor, approached with a friendly smile. “What can I get for you, sir?”Josh, unsure of what to order due to his limited experience with high end drinks, replied, “Uhm… Surprise me.”The bartender nodded in understanding. “Certainly,” he said. The waiter started crafting the cocktail for him as he waited.At that same time, as Josh was seated down, waiting for his drink to be made, he noticed a figure approaching where he was seated. It was a woman, dressed in a striking red gown. She took a seat on the bar stool next to him. The woman looked ele

Although Josh appeared to be completely unfazed by the men, in truth he was intimidated by them, noticing that they were all staring at him weirdly, and they probably had bad intentions too. To make matters worse one of them moved towards the door and closed it.Josh's eyes darted between the four men, scanning them. “What's going on?” Josh asked, confused as to what was happening? What did these men want from him? He didn't understand. He didn't remember upsetting any of these four guys as he had never run into them before. And they were probably goons sent by someone, however, he didn't remember upsetting anyone before. “Can… I help you?” He asked, as he noticed that one of them was taking a step towards him, looking at him menacingly.Without a word, the men surrounded Josh, giving him no room to escape. One of them, the burly one with the scar, abruptly grabbed Josh by the collar and shoved him against the cold tiled wall. Josh’s heart raced, and he tried to push back, but the ma

Chris Walton had no idea that he was dealing with the grandson of Giovanni De La Cruz. Had he known, he would have thought twice before crossing him. But Walton, blinded by his own arrogance and by his considerable power and influence. He was unaware of the seriousness of his misstep. His belief in his own untouchability led him to underestimate Josh, disrespecting him in ways he wouldn’t have dared if he had been aware of Josh’s formidable lineage. Walton’s arrogance came from his perception that he had ascended to a level of power where few could challenge him, and this delusion of invulnerability fueled his disrespect.“Consider this a reminder of what happens when you cross me,” Walton continued, his words dripping with icy malice. He let the threat hang in the air, his gaze fixed on Josh with cruel satisfaction. “Now, let’s see if this experience teaches you the lesson you clearly need. It’s time for you to learn your place.” With that he walked out of the restroom, signaling for

Amelia frowned, her face flushed with a mix of offense and hurt, she couldn't believe Josh would think so low of her. Why would he think she would ever do something like that? “Of course not!” she snapped. “I would never compromise my dignity like that. Just because we're in a tight spot doesn’t mean I’ll betray my principles.” She replied, making it clear, however the stress of their situation was still evident. Amelia sighed to calm herself down. And then she continued. “Walton, that bastard proposed that he’d only invest if I entered into a personal relationship with him. He’s using our desperate situation to manipulate us into a deal we can’t afford to refuse.”Josh's eyes narrowed, a mix of anger and concern crossing his face. “That’s a terrible situation. I’m sorry you’re going through this… anyway I can help?” He asked. “Yeah, I hope you don't mind.” Amelia replied, feeling embarrassed for having to ask help from him, although they were friends or close to being friends, she d

And he wasn't poor anymore, however he didn't expect people to all of a sudden treat him differently.Josh usually was ignored and looked down upon, because people would assume he wasn’t worth their time.
