Sofia, surprised by Josh's tone, looked over at him, asking, "What's wrong?"Josh glanced at Sofia as he asked. "What are those guys from another college doing here?" He darted his gaze back to Brian and his classmates,as he continued to ask, “Isn't this your college’s prom?’ Sofia shrugged her shoulders. "Oh, well, the two colleges decided to host the event together," she explained casually.A heavy sigh escaped Josh's lips, his mood plummeting further with the unwelcome sight of his college mates. He knew them too well, so he could already anticipate their attempts to turn his night into a living nightmare. As he and Sofia entered, a wave of attention swept through the room. His outfit, impeccably tailored and outshining a lot of the other students, inevitably drew him into the spotlight. He looked captivatingly handsome tonight, attracting nearly half the room's gaze, his presence shared with Sofia like a spotlight illuminating them both.As soon as the people who came from the
As Brian and his minions' mocking laughter echoed through his ears and the hall, Josh felt a familiar surge of anger build up within him. This wasn't the first time Brian had humiliated him, the previous year something like this had happened, and every time he remembered it, it felt like a fresh wound. The only difference between now and back then, was that he didn't have the strength to defend himself back then, but now things were different. Lately, Josh had started to have confidence in himself, unlike when he was broke.His anger continuing to rise, Josh subconsciously clenched his fists, his jaw tightening with each new insult that Brian and his friends said. It was really irksome having people whose only goal was to make his college life as hard as it can be, and Josh had endured that for many years, but now it was time to put an end to it.Noticing Josh's clenched fists as if he was ready to fight him, Brian smirked as he stopped closer to him. “Oooh, look at that, it seems li
Brian was taken aback by Josh's courage to threaten him, all of a sudden. He looked at Josh, wondering what had given him the courage to say that? Josh never dared to talk to Brian like that in the past, he was always afraid. Even Brian's minions, who were always there to torment Josh, couldn't believe their ears. Josh just threatened Brian! Why would he do that? Wasn't he afraid of Brian anymore?This unexpected shift in Josh's behavior left everyone astonished, especially those who went to the same university with him and knew what a loser he was. The picture they had of Josh was so different from what he was acting like at the moment, so Where did he suddenly get the courage to talk back to Brian? Looked like an act of desperation from Josh, to try to put an end to the bullying that he had always been subjected to.After hearing Liam threaten him, Brian was offended. His face contorted in rage. The veins on his forehead bulged, his jaw clenched tight as he glared at Josh. He had wa
Brian confronted Sofia with an intimidating gaze, feeling disrespected by her threat. He wouldn't let that slide, as he had never been threatened like this before and felt the need to teach her a lesson. Of course he had to do something after she had disrespected him, or else everyone might start disrespecting him, thinking he won't do anything about it. “I will let you off the hook if you apologize right now.” Brian demanded. Sofia however, met his gaze steadily and replied coldly. “Apologize to you? Are you out of your mind?” She asked, she then continued, “You know what? How about you apologize to Josh, and I'll change my mind, and not have your eyes gauged out.” She asked, her tone dead serious.Gasps of shock erupted from everyone's mouths after hearing her threaten Brian once again. They had thought after the first one she would have quickly realized that she had made a mistake, but no, she was continuing to disrespect and threaten him. Why on earth would someone want to offen
"My goodness, Brian, you can't just order the security guards to do that," Sofia interjected with a tone of disbelief and mockery as Brian attempted to assert his authority on the security guards. He took Sofia threatening him In Front of all these people as her humiliating him and he wasn't going to let that slide. In order to show everyone what the consequences of crossing him were, Brian had called the banquet hall security personnel, and ordered them to escort Josh and Sofia out of the hall. However the security guards, didn't seem to be listening to him, they were reluctant to heed his orders.Brian shot daggers at Sofia, annoyance evident in his eyes. No one had ever annoyed him like it was right now and he was doing his best to contain his anger. He glared at Josh, his gaze looking deep into Josh's eyes. ‘This is all this bastard's fault, I can't believe I'm getting disrespected because of this loser.” He thought to himself, still glaring at Josh who glared back at him. Shifti
The air in the banquet hall buzzed with an unusual hum. It was filled with gossip and speculation. They still didn't understand how Sofia had managed to embarrass Brian the way she had did. No one had ever stood up to him ever, because they were always afraid of him and his family's influence. But not only did she stand up to him, she kicked him out of the banquet hall! How daring was that? Indeed it was daring, but also impressive at the same time because not a lot of people in the banquet hall would have the courage to stand up to him.Even Josh was thankful of her help. Honestly he didn't know what he would have done had she not intervened. He feared he would have been forced to fight Brian, but he wasn't a fighter so that would have ended very badly for him.Sofia stood next to Josh as they had a conversation. She sipped her champagne, eyes narrowed as she glanced at Josh, a slight frown appearing across her face as he asked. “So, I don't get a thank you for my intervention, and
Lucas's hands, once casually tucked in his pockets, clenched into fists, and his jaw clenched so tight. He looked into Sofia's eyes, his eyes dark and cold. The sight of her hand intertwined with another man's hand made him feel jealousy. He couldn't believe that, it had only been a week. Actually, not even a week, and he had already been replaced by this… guy!Lucas felt betrayed, like she'd cheated on him, even though they weren't dating anymore, and she had made it clear that there was nothing going on between them. Well, in his heart, they were still dating and she was not allowed to with be anyone else, it didn't matter that she didn't want him.Sofia could see the anger in Lucas' eyes, but she couldn't care less. She would have cared if it was in the past, but after everything he had put her through, she honestly didn't care for him anymore. Memories of his past infidelities, and the hurt he had put her through, through their two years relationship lingered in her mind, fueling h
Lucas couldn't accept the fact that Sofia had moved on, that too with someone who looked inferior to him. He could just tell by Josh's humble demeanor that he was nowhere near his own level.Brian, was determined to keep Josh away from Sofia, hoping to convince her to reconcile with her. Despite Sofia's consistent rejections since their breakup, Lucas, in his misguided perspective, believed she still harbored feelings for him, which she chose not to acknowledge.He saw Josh as someone who stood in his way. Well, not for long, as he had a plan to make sure Josh doesn't stand in his way anymore.Meanwhile, unbeknownst to Josh that he had made some new enemies, he was carefree and engaged in a conversation with Andrea while sipping on a cocktail. Andrea took a sip of her drink, her eyes curiously landing on Josh. "So, how's college life treating you?"Josh opened his mouth, and he was about to reply to Andreas' answer, however before he could, someone abruptly bumped into him. The bump s
