The Lost Son's Return Chapter 54
Hearing Carlos telling him that he should go to detention didn't surprise Josh, infact he had expected something like that. It was no secret that the two of them didn't like each other.Josh turned back to look at him, and he was about to say something, but Carlos spoke up before him. “Go on now, out of my class!” He demanded, and without saying anymore he walked to his desk and resumed teaching. Josh, maintaining his composure, didn't react in any way, he just casually walked out of the classroom. The door closed behind him, muffling the sounds of the ongoing lecture. As he stepped into the corridor, he couldn't help but feel a mix of frustration and annoyance. The fact that Carlos had sent him only to detention and didn't send that girl who was also late just like him to detention annoyed him. It felt like he had been treated unfairly. It was a very familiar feeling, as it was very often that he got treated that way by people.But what did he expect? Things like this were bound to

“So, what brings you here, Josh, you don't look like a trouble maker.” Amelia asked trying to keep the conversation between her and Josh going. "if you don't mind, I'd like to concentrate on my assignment," Josh replied respectfully. He couldn't understand why she was so interested in talking to him. She seemed to come from a wealthy background, which made him feel uneasy because he wasn't accustomed to people like her taking an interest in him. Typically, individuals from affluent backgrounds would mock him, so he found it unusual and wasn't inclined to engage in conversation.Amelia nodded understandingly, noting Josh's polite yet distant response. His guarded demeanor was evident, and she didn't understand why, but she respected his wish for solitude to focus on the assignment.Glancing at Josh briefly, she turned her attention to the desk. As the minutes ticked by in the detention room, Mrs. Henderson rose from her desk, commanding attention with a swift clearing of her throat.

Josh's heart skipped a beat upon seeing Brian and his friends walking into the cafeteria. He could tell by their serious expressions and the purposeful way they entered the cafeteria they had come for him. And he wasn't surprised by that. In Fact he had been expecting Brian to try and get payback for the humiliation Sofia had handed him the previous night. Sofia had humiliated him so much and even got him kicked out of the banquet hall, all because of Josh, so it was only expected that Brian would try to make Josh pay for that. Nobody had ever humiliated Brian and made look so weak, that he even got kicked out of an event and he couldn't do anything about it, and it was all because of this bastard Josh. Approaching, Brian stopped a few inches to Josh's table, his cold gaze landing on him. “Would you look at that? It's Josh everyone!” He exclaimed mockingly, a disdainful expression plastered on his face.Instinctively Josh rose to his feet, meeting Brian's gaze as he replied, “I don'

Josh closely watched as Brian's minions surrounded him, and it was a sign that things were about to get ugly. But even knowing that, he didn't panic, he remained unfazed, his gaze locked on Brian but at the same time keeping an eye on his minions. Brian's minions inched closer to Josh slowly, and their eyes glinted with dangerous intents, ready to help Brian unleash his fury. Yet even amidst this, Josh's didn't show any sign of being intimidated. He used to be easily intimidated by them, but that fear had vanished, replaced by confidence and courage. The cafeteria's atmosphere was filled with anticipation as everyone watched the scene unfolding. Seeing Josh being surrounded like that, it was evident to them that Brian was about to unleash his fury on him. That made some people who also didn't like Josh watch with happy expressions, while others remained indifferent, choosing to ignore the unfolding confrontation. There was a mixture of emotions in the, adding to the intensity. “Let

Judging by the fact that Josh was standing up for himself, and even fighting back against Brian's minions who jad ganged up on him, It was clear that he had transformed from a past victim to a resilient force. The cafeteria witnessed a short, intense metamorphosis as he defied expectations, leaving behind the echoes of his impoverished past.However even though he was fighting back, the odds were against him due to him being inexperienced when it came to fighting. Another attacker seized the opportunity, delivering a powerful kick to Josh's midsection. Staggering back from the force, he fought to regain balance, gritting his teeth against the pain. Brian's minions circled, a relentless onslaught.Yet, Josh refused to be a mere victim. He blocked a flurry of punches, his movements a mix of desperation and determination. He managed to and momentarily staggered one of his adversaries. The cafeteria echoed with the clash of bodies and the gasps of onlookers.The unfolding scene left onlook

Josh was quick to defend himself. "He is lying, I did not..." Josh began to defend himself, but his words were swiftly cut off by Professor Roberto's authoritative voice. "Quiet, my office now," Professor Roberto demanded, leaving no room for further explanations.Although what was happening was BLT fair, Josh had no choice. And he was used to stuff like this happening. Being the victim and getting punished for it, was nothing new to him.Amelia, who stood behind Josh, rolled her eyes, after hearing professor Roberto ordering Josh to go to his office. And she couldn't believe that this was how the professors at this college acted. It wasn't hard for one to realize that Josh was the victim, as Brian already had a reputation of bullying Josh.Under normal circumstances, Amelia might have cared less about Josh, or the baseless accusations he was facing, but they had urgent matters to attend to, and Josh being summoned to Mr. Roberto’s office would only delay things and they wouldn't ge

Amelia, upon hearing Josh say that where he lived might not be as bad as she was imagining, couldn't help letting out another mocking chuckle, thinking he was trying to pretend that his situation wasn't as bad, when in reality it was bad. Infact it was embarrassing. She didn't understand how someone could live that kind of life. “Yeah right.” She chuckled mockingly. Although at first when Josh had seen Amelia and saw that she was just another rich person he had suspected that she just wanted to make fun of him just like half the people he always came across at college. However that impression of her had started to change when Brian had showed up with his minions and he had witnessed her defense of him. When that had happened, he had even felt guilty for being rude towards her earlier.It had briefly painted a different picture of her in his mind, thinking she might be different from everyone else. But now that he was faced with the reality of her mockery of his financial situation, he

Josh drove quietly through the city street's with Amelia in his car. He could tell that she wanted to ask him a lot of questions. And it was normal and expected that she would have so many questions, after thinking he was nothing but a loser this whole time, only to find out that the person she thought was a loser and made fun of, owned a luxurious car, even more expensive that the one she drove. Josh was just hoping that she wouldn't ask those questions she had, because he didn't want to answer her. Honestly, he had no idea how he would explain it to her. It was not like he could just tell her that he was a De La Cruz. While it would answer her questions, that would surely be a bad idea. The last thing he wanted was for people to know that he was connected to the mafia world.If Josh were to confide in Amelia, she would undoubtedly spread the information to everyone, so he didn't plan on telling her. And if she was going to ask him how he got rich, he had planned to just fabricate a

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’
The Lost Son's Return chapter 184
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
