The comments about him made Josh rage, and a huge part of him wanted to reply to Brian and the people making fun of him online, but he chose not to. Instead, Josh chose to disregard Brian's post and the accompanying comments. He powered off his cellphone and returned to focusing on studying for the upcoming test.Hours passed as he dedicated himself to his studies, determined not to let the online mockery distract him. Fatigue eventually caught up with him, and he drifted into sleep while still immersed in his study.***The soft morning light penetrated through the curtains, awakening Josh from his sleep. With a stretch, he rose from his cozy bed and sat up. Grabbing his cellphone, he checked the time, noticing that he had about two more hours before class started. As he rose from his bed, he walked over to the window and drew open the curtains. The air was filled with a faint scent of fresh lavender as he made his way to the opulent bathroom.The cozy shower water flowed down, wash

Ignoring the stares and the talks about him from some of the students, Josh continued on his way. He knew he couldn't pay attention to them as it was what they wanted, also he was used to people disdainfully staring his way and talking bad, so it didn't really affect him anymore. “Hey loser, I know you can hear me.” The curly haired blonde guy called out after seeing that Josh had ignored him completely, embarrassing In Front of his friends.And he was hoping that after calling him out like that, Josh would finally stop, however to his disappointment it was like his words fell on deaf ears.Josh continued walking nonchalantly until he reached the classroom door. He pushed the door open and stepped inside. Upon entering the classroom, Josh noticed that the majority of his classmates had yet to arrive, and a sense of relief washed over him, knowing he was early this time, unlike the previous occasion when he was five minutes late, and he was given detention. But Josh was certain that

Miss Andrews led Josh to the teacher's lounge where she was going to have a talk with him about something. Entering the teacher's lounge behind Miss Andrews, Josh looked around, as he was expecting that the moment he entered the lounge, he would be met by some stern looking teachers and professors, however to his slight relief and surprise he noticed that it was empty. As Josh stepped further inside the room, Ms. Andrews' walked over to the door and shut it gently. Her hand lingered on the doorknob for a moment, her eyes flickering with an unreadable emotion before she turned to face Josh and gestured for him to take a seat. “Have a seat, Josh “ Complying with her, Josh walked over to a seat and sat down as instructed by Ms. Andrews. Mrs Anderson also did the same,she walked over and sat down opposite Josh. With a concerned look, Josh looked over at her as he asked, "Is everything alright?"Ms. Andrews smiled faintly, assuring him with a nod, emphasizing that there was no need

The woman noticing that not only did Josh almost make her fall down on her face, he had also made her spill coffee on herself, couldn't help feeling angry. She glared at Josh, her frustration now directed at the ruined clothes. "Look what you did! My outfit is ruined!" she exclaimed in a accusatory tone. She was blaming Josh for the collision, when in reality it was her fault for focusing on her cellphone and not looking where she was going. Josh was already almost seated when she bumped into him.Josh, still caught off guard, let out an apology, "I'm sorry, it was an accident." He said humbly. Although he acknowledged that she was the one who collided with him because apparently she was too occupied by her cellphone, Josh chose to humble himself and apologize to avoid any unnecessary issues.However, the girl, now more concerned about her coffee stained clothes than the collision, didn't care about his apology. Him apologizing after he had just made her spill hot coffee all over her

Ever since Amelia found out that Josh came from a wealthy family, she harbored a desire to befriend him. However, she knew that her previous behavior, including mocking him and calling him poor, had likely made that impossible. But the incident in the cafeteria had presented an unexpected opportunity for her to try and impress him.Josh was taken aback by Amelia defending him. It was a rare occurrence for him to receive support from a fellow student in such situations. In the past, others had typically avoided getting involved, fearing they would become targets of the same hate he endured. That's why Amelia's courageous act surprised him so much. Her willingness to stand up for him, despite the potential backlash, caught him completely off guard.However, his surprise didn't last long as he quickly realized that she was probably only coming to his defense because she knew he was rich. If he was poor, there was no way she would have done that. The only reason she was doing it now was b

Upon hearing Mark's proposal about a wager, Amelia nodded without hesitation. “Not a problem, what's the wager?” She asked. She wasn't worried about Josh not being able to afford the outfit, knowing that he is rich. In Fact she was suspecting that Josh might come from a richer family than her, seeing as he drove a more expensive car, and on top of that the mansion he lived in was very luxurious.Being ignorant of Josh's background, Mark was convinced that Josh was a poor guy, and he couldn't possibly afford to replace the shirt.A sinister and satisfied smile appeared on Mark's face upon hearing Amelia agree to the bet. Amelia's agreement to the bet was basically saying she was fine with everyone seeing Josh embarrassed. Mark was convinced Josh couldn't buy an expensive designer shirt with his money situation. "Alright," he said, eyeing Josh with a smug grin "If you can't buy Vanessa here the shirt you have ruined “ he said with a glance towards the girl as he addressed her by her nam

Turning to locate the source of the voice, Josh's eyes landed on a familiar face, and a frown appeared on his features as recognition set in. It was Kathy, his ex-girlfriend, standing there with a smirk that got on his nerves. Kathy entered the boutique with a confident smirk spread across her face. She was dressed in a tight sleek black dress that accentuated her curves, and her outfit was completed with stylish heels. As she walked further inside the boutique, she finally stopped walking and turned to look at Josh with a disdainful look. “What do you think you're doing here?” She asked, her face twisting into a disgusted expression. For some reason, seeing his face made her feel irritated. And on top of that, to her, seeing Josh in such an upscale establishment was like catching a cockroach in a five-star restaurant. He was so clearly not someone who could afford a thing in such a luxurious boutique, the price tags likely giving him heart palpitations. "Shouldn't you be looking f

Kathy had attempted to make Josh's experience in the boutique awful, however to her disappointment, Josh simply ignored her as it she was nothing. And of course that bothered her to the core. No one ignored her as if she was nothing, especially not a loser like Josh. Who did he think he was? Watching Josh ignore her and walk away as if she didn't even exist only served to exacerbate Kathy's irritation. Every feature of him seemed to step on her nerves, from his detached demeanor to the way he seemed to effortlessly disregard her presence.Despite initially coming to the boutique for her own personal reasons, the sight of Josh had ignited a desire within Kathy to mock and embarrass him. And when she saw that he was there with Amelia, that desire grew even more, wanting to show Amelia how much of a pathetic loser the man she had associated herself with was.Her gaze followed him as he walked away, each step fueling her simmering rage. Kathy seethed with frustration as Josh walked away

She did not expect him to ask her such a direct question. But she was ready to answer him. Lilith tilted her head to look at him with a playful look. “Maybe I changed my mind.”“Why did you change your mind?” Josh pressed on.Lilith rolled her eyes before she finally answered him. ”Maybe I realized that fighting this marriage is pointless. Our families will make sure this happens no matter what. And honestly it's not the worst thing that could happen.”Josh studied her, his expression lacking any emotion, unreadable. Unlike her, there was no warmth in his gaze. “That’s not a convincing answer, Lilith.” His voice was dry, but firm. Then, with quiet certainty, he accused, “I know you’re up to something. What is it?”“Hmmm?” Lilith hadn’t expected that. She thought he was clueless, easy to manipulate. But, the fact that he already realized that she was up to something, proved to her, that he was smarter than she gave him credit for.Her smirk returned, lazy and amused. “You’re not an ea

At a police station, inside the chief's office.Three people were in the office, the chief of police and two officers, engaged in discussion.The chief of police sat back in his chair, while Detective Reynolds and Martinez stood across from him.“These are all the findings we have on Giovanni De La Cruz so far,” Detective Reynolds said, sliding a thick file across the table to the chief. The contents on the file were evidence the two detectives had found on Giovanni. According to them, it was enough evidence to cause Giovanni problems.Martinez added. “Sir, we think with this, we can at least get a search warrant against Giovanni.”The chief of police reached for the file, pulling it toward him before flipping it open. His eyes scanned the documents, photos, and reports inside. He picked up one of the photos, a grainy image of Antonio De La Cruz carrying a briefcase while Mario and Josh followed behind him and entered a hotel. Even at a glance, it was clear they were involved in som

Mr Ramirez turned to Mr Delgado saying, “A word with you Mr Delgado?” Mr Delgado gave a nod before walking away with Mr Ramirez, leaving Josh alone. Josh was too preoccupied with his thoughts to fully pay attention to them as they walked away.He moved towards the grand windows, gazing out at the estate. The villa was beautiful, but that wasn’t what occupied his mind. It was what this place meant to him: A piece of his past, one he could barely remember, but was now in his hands.His fingers lightly brushed the nearby table as he walked, trying to find some sort of connection to this place. He closed his eyes, trying to remember some memory that would surface. But there was nothing. Just emptiness.He was too young to remember ever living here, so he couldn't remember everything. But, how could he expect to recall a place he left when he was just a toddler?The sound of footsteps pulled him from his thoughts. He turned to see his grandfather walking back inside with Mr. Delgado.“Ar

Josh pushed the thought aside. He wasn’t ready to deal with that yet. Besides, this was his grandfather he was talking about, so why would Giovanni discard him aside?Mr Ramirez studied him for a second. “I'm sorry for how everyone else treats you. I'm sure they'll come around eventually.” He assured. Josh could only hope that will be the case soon. He let out a short laugh. “Are you sure about that? Catalina looks at me like I don’t belong. Marco and Isabella don’t even bother hiding it. Matteo’s the only one who treats me like an actual person.” It was not his intention to let everything out, however the words slipped out before he could stop them.His grandfather was quiet for a long moment. Then he said, “Catalina loved your mother.”Josh’s expression shifted. Really? He didn't want to believe that. If Catalina and his mother were indeed close, she wouldn't look at her sister’s son like he was the problem.Mr. Ramirez continued, “She loved her deeply. Losing her… broke something

“And when you find him? What happens then?” He asked.Josh watched his grandfather closely, waiting for his answer. Whatever Mr. Ramirez chose to do with Reaper would say a lot about the kind of man he truly was.It was safe to say Josh didn’t know his grandfather that well. He had power, control, and influence, but what kind of person was he underneath it all?“He’ll face justice. What do you think?” Mr Ramirez said. “We’ll hand him over to the authorities.”Josh hadn’t expected to hear that.If this had been Giovanni, Reaper wouldn’t have made it past sunrise. No trial. No mercy. Josh still remembered how effortlessly his other grandfather had executed those two men for betraying him, no hesitation in his actions.This was the difference between Mr. Ramirez and Giovanni. One believed in fairness, the other in ruthless control.Josh was happy to see that his grandfather from his mom's side was a different person from Giovanni.Just then, Catalina walked in, her sharp gaze immediately
The Lost Son's Return chapter 188
Josh ignored Catalina. But he also didn’t bother trying to go with them to see Matteo. Mr. Ramirez shot Catalina a cold look in disapproval. “If it weren’t for Josh, Matteo wouldn’t have made it here in time.” He scolded.Catalina said nothing, but she had a slight look of realization across her face. No matter how she felt about Josh, it was thanks to him and the other two people that Matteo was here at the hospital in time.She, Dean, Marco, and Isabella went inside the ICU where Matteo was.Josh stayed back, leaning against the wall. He didn’t show it, but the rejection bothered him.When Marco and Isabella made it clear they didn’t accept him, it bothered him, but not that much. Catalina, though… She was his deceased mother’s sister. He expected her to treat him with at least some kindness. Guess he was wrong for thinking that.Josh exhaled slowly, pushing the thought aside. He wasn’t about to beg for acceptance. If they didn’t want him around, fine.Without another word, he tur

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’
