The waiter in shock and sweat dripping down his forehead, looked over at Lilith with an apologetic expression. He tried to apologize, but because of his fear he kept stumbling over his words. And him being scared was nothing surprising given the fact that Lilith was the daughter of one of the most powerful people in the city: Mr Washington. And with that knowledge, the waiter's fear intensified, understanding that he would surely face consequences for his mistake. Like many others in the city, the waiter had heard of Lilith Washington. Anyone familiar with the name Lilith Washington trembled in fear, as she was reputed to be cunning and cold-hearted. From what the waiter had heard about her, she had inflicted harm on individuals for offenses less severe than his. Why? Because she was wicked. "M-Ma'am... I'm sincerely sorry," he apologized, his voice trembling, "It was a mistake." He added.Lilith didn't care about his apology however. Why would she forgive him after he had spilled hot
After Lilith demanded the waiter's hand be cut off for a simple mistake that didn't even deserve such a punishment, Mr. Moretti didn't hesitate. He signaled for his men to execute Lilith's order. And, even though he knew that decapitating someone's hand for a clumsy mistake was too extreme, he didn't try to go against her. Fearing the consequences of going against her due to her powerful background and ruthless reputation, he felt he had no choice but to comply.On their boss's order the two men moved towards the waiter. However as they grabbed the bodyguard to carry out the order given to them, Josh suddenly intervened, telling them to stop, much to everyone's shock. All eyes, including those of the waiter and Mr. Moretti's men, turned towards Josh, their expressions a mix of astonishment and curiosity. Why did he demand the release of the waiter? Who did he believe himself to be?Hearing Josh's demand, Mr. Moretti turned his gaze towards him, his expression hardening as he scanned
A frown made its way to Mr Morreti's face as he heard Josh's words. He couldn't help feeling irritated by Josh, itf was like Josh was threatening him and he didn't like it. “Is that so? Are you threatening me young man?”Josh met Mr Morreti's gaze, not showing any sign of being intimidated by the man. Not even the knowledge that he was standing before someone so dangerous and influencial that he could make people disappear easily made Josh feel afraid. Usually he would be intimidated by figures like Mr Morreti and he would never even think of crossing them, but for some reason it seemed that the fear had gone away. He stopped being afraid of influential people. Guess knowing that he was now a part of the De La Cruz family gave him confidence. Moreover, Josh's empathy for the waiter fueled his determination. Having worked a similar job in the past, he empathized with the waiter's sorry condition and refused to stand by while unjust punishment was being given out to him.Josh met Mr Mo
Mr. Moretti scrutinized Josh from head to toe, attentively examining his features in an attempt to find out the truth behind his claim. The question echoed in his mind: was this young man truly Giovanni's grandson? The mere possibility sent a chill down his spine, for he understood all too well the consequences of his actions. If Josh turned out to be really Giovanni's grandson, he was afraid it would all be over for him. Everything he had worked for, including his reputation, flashed through Mr Moretti's mind. He understood the seriousness of his actions, knowing full well that Giovanni wouldn't tolerate hearing or seeing his grandson treated with disrespect by anyone. The thought of facing Giovanni's wrath sent a shiver down his spine, as he feared the repercussions of his defiance. Giovanni was a ruthless man, who showed no mercy to his enemies. Many had crossed him and had met their demise, some had even disappeared without a trace and it was all Giovanni's doing. The mere possi
"Yes, I think so too. Otherwise, why would he be asking for forgiveness in the first place? I bet he belongs to some influential family," the conversation continued, soft whispers and murmuring filling the air.A man seated nearby to where Josh and Mr Morris were, could overhear every word of apology coming from Mr Moretti and Josh mouth, unlike the other patrons who were seated far away and couldn't hear anything. Swiftly the man, took out his phone, a look of excitement in his eyes."I can't miss this," he muttered to his group of friends who were seated around the table, tapping eagerly on his screen. "I have to record it. I bet it will blow up on social media."“Yeah, that's a good idea.” One of his friends encouraged him.With a few quick swipes, he activated the camera and began recording, focusing on the scene unfolding before him. As Mr. Moretti, once a figure of authority, now appeared humbled and apologetic before Josh. One could say that Mr Moretti looked pathetic begging fo
The woman backed away, trying to get away from the two figures that were trying to rob her. She stopped when she noticed that she had been pressed into a car, and there was no way to go. Staring at the men with a fearful but courages look she demanded. “Back away from me. I'm not afraid to defend myself.” Not listening to her, the two men continued to approach. One of them glanced at the other, shaking his head, as he reached for the purse in the woman's hand, attempting to snatch it. However, she held onto it tightly, making it difficult for him to take it from her. The other guy, observing his associate's failed attempt, looked around to see if they were being watched. Then, he turned to his associate and the lady, saying, "Lady, give it up now!"At that moment, Josh had drawn closer and gained a clear understanding of the situation. The two figures were evidently attempting to rob the poor lady. Josh couldn't help but scowl at the two robbers. People like them disgusted Josh, and
Seeing his friend suddenly clutching his head in pain, the other robber turned to glare at the woman, in shock at the sudden attack. "Hey, where the hell did you get that baseball ba? You're gonna regret messing with us!” He declared.The sturdy robber gritted his teeth as he glared at the woman. Enraged by the fact that she had attacked him, he was about to make a move for her, however before he could Josh had attacked him from behind delivering a powerful blow with strength that he didn't know he had. The attack sent the man reeling forward again.The woman also swung her baseball bat and struck the slim robber on the side of his face. Caught off guard by the beating they were receiving from their victims, the robbers found themselves on the defensive, their plans thwarted by the woman's bold and courageous intervention. It didn't look like their plans were going to happen now, because it seemed like their two victims were more than capable of defending themselves in this situation.
Ending the call with a satisfied smile, Gianna tucked her phone back into her purse and walked towards her car. Opening the door she was about to get in, when the sound of multiple footsteps and the sound of someone's voice got her attention, and she shifted her attention towards the entrance where the sound was coming from, and she saw Mr Moretti and his two bodyguards exiting the cafe. “Make sure it doesn't get out to the public.” Mr Moretti said to his security guards coldly as he stepped foot outside the cafe."But sir, those patrons witnessed you bowing to that man. They're bound to spread rumors," one of the guards protested, referring to what had happened earlier when Mr Moretti had got on his knees asking for forgiveness from Josh. Everyone present in the cafe had seen it. Mr. Moretti's brow furrowed deeper as his henchman's words brought up a gnawing sense of unease within him. The realization that numerous eyes had witnessed his uncharacteristic display of vulnerability le
