The Lost Son's Return Chapter 26
Instantly as Josh's classmate blurted out, while looking in the direction Josh was coming from, he attracted a lot of attention from the other students who had already arrived. They all turned in the same direction to see Josh. And the moment they laid eyes on him, Looks of surprise filtered out among the students, as they saw Josh, now dressed impeccably. It was very surprising to them, witnessing Josh, who was known to be the least affluent among them, now dressed in luxurious outfits.Their disbelief was evident. For as long as they could recall, Josh's attire had always been shabby, a reflection of his financial struggles. Therefore, seeing him adorned in such luxurious attire left them speechless, wondering how on earth he could afford such outfits.“Is that really, Josh?” “Yeah, that's him”"But what happened to him? He looks so different now," the students whispered among themselves, trying to fathom the sudden change in Josh's appearance.As they whispered among themselves,

His gaze fixated on the new professor, who also turned out to be the same person who Kathy betrayed him with, Josh felt a surge of anger build up inside him. The classroom seemed to fade away, the voices of his classmates blurring into a distant hum Josh's entire focus was on Carlos, his eyes burning with a mix of fury and resentment. He clenched his fists tightly, his muscles tensing as he struggled to contain the rage that threatened to consume him.It wasn't the fact that, his ex girlfriend had cheated on him, with Carlos that made Josh resent the man, it was the fact that he got beat up pretty badly and humiliated by him, and If it wasn't for the lady that had stopped the henchmen from beating him up even further, then the henchmen would have done even more damage to him. Now all Josh wanted was payback.Carlos, the lecturer, his gaze darting around the room, looking at his students as he addressed them, had a slightly surprised expression when his eyes met with Josh's. He was s

Josh's words echoed through the room, and they had Carlos fuming at him, his veins bulging. The audacity of Josh! How dare he make such a remark about him? Had he lost his mind? Carlos had hoped to provoke Josh into an outburst, something that would paint him as a disrespectful and unruly student. However, this direct insult, labeling him as a creep, was beyond anything he had anticipated.The other students let out gasps in astonishment , they couldn't believe the guts that Josh had. Did Josh, just insult a teacher, as authorative and intimidating as Carlos? He must have lost his mind for doing that, everyone knew that crossing Mr. Carlos was a recipe for disaster, yet Josh had brazenly done just that. It was clear that Josh had underestimated the seriousness of his actions. He must have lost his mind, because no one in their right mind would dare to speak to a teacher with such disrespect. His impulsive behavior had just showed everyone his lack of respect for the teacher, and his

Hearing the authorities demands, Josh stepped out of his car, raising his arms in a gesture of surrender. His voice laced with confusion Josh asked. "Officers, what's happening?" he inquired, his eyes darting between the stern faces of the approaching policemen.With a stern look on his face, a burly police officer approached him, his eyes cold and devoid of any emotion,"Hands behind your back," he commanded, his voice lacking any sympathy.Josh froze to the spot, still very confused with the incident. What was going on? Did he do something wrong? He didn't remember commiting any crime, so he didn't understand what this was all about. Seeing as Josh was not putting his hands behind his back as told, the police officer approached him aggressively.Josh heart pounding in his chest as the burly officer grabbed him, pinning him against the car. Efficiency, the officer produced handcuffs and secured Josh's wrists, leaving him bewildered and helpless.Josh's mind raced, desperately trying

Hours passed and Josh was still in the jail cell. During that time he had expected that the police officers who had arrested him would had come to his cell and tell him the reason they had arrested him, but to his surprise no one came to tell him. Not having any information about why he's being held at the police station intensified the anxiety. If only he had a way to contact someone for help, like his grandfather. But being isolated in the cell, he didn't have a phone, so there was no way to talk with him. All Josh could was hope that the police officers would soon release him, because he did nothing wrong to be there.As Josh sat there on the bench, he felt helpless and frustrated, his frustration worsening as he remembered that when he got arrested he was on his way to meet someone, who claimed to be his father. Maybe the man was telling the truth, or maybe he was lying. ‘I guess, I'll never know if he was lying or not.’ Josh thought to himself.Letting out a sigh, he got to his

Josh was surprised when Lilith showed up, ij handcuffs, Liam with two cops accompanying her. Lilith, surprised to see Josh at the police station had asked him a question earlier, and when he didn't respond to her, and just looked at her, and then down at the handcuffs she got annoyed and asked again. “I asked you a question, what are you doing here?” She was thinking that maybe one of her family members had brought him with, and she didn't like that. She despised Josh the moment Giovanni brought up the idea of her and him getting married.Josh, unfazed by Lilith's hostility, offered her a fleeting glance. While curiosity piqued his mind, urging him to inquire about why she was in handcuffs? What did she do? His indifference prevailed. He simply didn't care about the reason behind her handcuffs. At that precise moment, the reception officer's voice cut through the tense air, calling out to Josh. "Mr. De La Cruz, here is your staff," the officer announced.Turning to look at the office

The thought of being involved in a drug deal was terrifying, yet Josh knew he couldn't refuse his grandfather's request. His grandfather had done a lot for him already, and he had to respect his authority, and he didn't want to disappoint him.With a heavy sigh, Josh nodded in agreement. "Alright, I'll go," he said, his voice barely above a whisper.Antonio smiled, pleased with Josh's decision. "Good man," he said, patting Josh on the shoulder. "Now, let's get you ready."A few minutes later, Josh and Antonio were on their way to the location of the deal. Josh tried to distract himself from the anxiety that was eating away at him by asking Antonio questions about the business. Antonio explained that the family was involved in a variety of illegal activities, including drug trafficking, arms dealing, and money laundering. The way Antonio said it, he didn't sound like he felt bad knowing that he was a criminal, and it had Josh feeling like he was doomed. If the police ever find out ab

As the standoff between Alessandra and Antonio intensified, the air crackled with anticipation. The room was filled with the scent of danger, and Josh could feel his heart pounding against his ribs. He knew that this was a confrontation that could end in tragedy, and he couldn't help but fear for his own safety.He was now regretting agreeing to come to this place. If he had known that things would get this intense, he wouldn't have agreed, he would have just stayed at home.Marco chimed in, his tone cold as he said. “I think it's time you leave Alessandra, your presence is not welcome here.” As he said that, he pulled out his gun and pointed it at Alessandra. The room fell silent, the tense atmosphere at the moment filling the air. Josh held his breath, his eyes wide with anxiety and anticipation. He was worried that a single gunshot from either Marco or Alessandra's men could unleash a storm of gunfire throughout the entire room. And he didn't want that, he feared that he could get

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
