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

Luca's sudden attack on him in the restroom flabbergasted Josh. He stumbled back, his mind reeling as he tried to process what was happening. He did not expect that at all. The cold look in Lucas's eyes was unmistakable, and Josh's initial confusion turned into a surge of anger. He couldn't believe that Lucas would just intrude his privacy and punch him! How dare he do that? Josh was fighting the urge to retaliate, but he stopped himself, knowing that if he did that, he might escalate things. Josh didn't want that because it wouldn't be in his best interest if things escalated.Their eyes met, the atmosphere in the restroom tensing with each passing second. The anger in Josh's gaze was unmistakable, and it looked as though he just might retaliate. In fact, the thought of hitting Lucas back crossed his mind.Josh had grown tired of being mistreated. When would it finally stop? When were people finally going to start giving him the respect he deserved? Those were the questions going on

Josh slowly woke up, his surroundings a bit blurry. As he opened his eyes, he found himself on an unfamiliar bed. Confused, he quickly sat up, realizing this wasn't his room. He glanced around, the room, looking for a clue of where he was, but he couldn't find any. Memories of the previous night came back. He remembered the events of the previous night, the sudden attack in the restroom, and the sudden appearance of the man who had been trying to kidnap hi for sometime. Josh pieced together that it was during their conversation that he had been knocked out, realizing that the man was responsible for his current situation.Fear gripped his heart as he comprehended the seriousness of the situation. He had been kidnapped! Again! The first time he had been kidnapped he had managed to escape, by jumping out the of the car, but this time it, looked like he had no way out. Josh wondered what they wanted with him? Why would they kidnap him.Josh's heart beat violently in his chest as he sca

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
The Lost Son's Return Chapter 180
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
