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

"Gianna," Mr. Moretti repeated, testing the name on his tongue. "Well, Gianna. I hope you liked the food, now if you'll excuse me, I have matters to attend to."Gianna nodded, concealing her satisfaction at having made the old man believe that she was simply there because she wanted to eat, when in reality she had another agenda. "Of course, Mr. Moretti. Enjoy the rest of your evening."Meanwhile, Josh returned to the mansion and quickly went to sleep for the night, knowing he had college the next day.In the morning when he woke up from bed, he took a quick shower before putting on the outfits chosen by his personal stylist, Amethyst. As he dressed, thoughts of Amethyst lingered in his mind. He couldn't shake the feeling that he had known her before she became his stylist. He kept thinking that he had met her before, but he just could never remember where he had met her before.Josh didn't dwell too much on the thoughts, choosing that he would try to find out more about amethyst anot

Josh was very determined to keep his true identity hidden, and so he had decided to get off from the Rolls Royce a short distance before reaching his college. He knew that arriving at the college in the Rolls Royce would undoubtedly attract a lot of attention, and when people saw that it was him who had arrived in it, they would raise eyebrows. The thought of them finding out that he was connected to the De LA Cruz made him slightly nervous. It was not that he cared that they would think bad of him: in fact he would have loved if everyone knew that he wasn't the same person they knew and alway bullied, and made fun of. What made him not want anyone to find out was because he knew that he was now a part of something illegal, and he feared that he would attract unwanted attention, particularly from the police or other law enforcement authorities pursuing the De La Cruz family. Although the De LA Cruz family seemed to have total control of the city and had some powerful figures on their

Mark's friends behind him, along with other students who had been standing by in the hallway and paying attention to what was happening, chuckled upon hearing his mocking words. Mark had insulted Josh, and accused him of losing the bet, and naturally, they found it amusing. After all, it was what they all expected from someone like Josh. The moment Amelia had accepted the bet for him, Josh had already lost, and everyone knew that.However, what everyone didn't know was that Mark was actually the one who had lost the bet between them. And the only reason Mark was this confident was that he had no idea about Josh. In fact, none of them had any idea about his newly found wealth, still thinking that he was the same poverty stricken person he once was.A confident grin played on Josh's lips as he observed the amused murmurs coming from the crowd, as they thought he had lost. Josh was eager to witness their reaction once he shattered their assumptions. It was evident that they all presumed

Josh and Vanessa's classmates were astounded by the revelation that Vanessa had made. How could Josh, of all people, afford to replace an outfit worth thousands of dollars? It seemed utterly impossible to them. While some of them didn't want to doubt Vanessa and just believed her because of who she was: some of them were having a hard time believing it, or rather they didn't want to believe it, because they believed that there was simply no way Josh could manage to do that. However, despite their disbelief, the fact that Vanessa, the intended recipient of the outfit, confirmed it made them reconsider. After all, it was Vanessa who had said that, and they knew what type of person she was, so why would she lie about it? Also, they knew that Josh was obligated to replace the outfit after spilling coffee on Vanessa's previous one. If he hadn't fulfilled his obligation, surely Vanessa would have mentioned it to them.Mark, like some of the students in the hallway ,was skeptical. Although

Hesitantly, Mark snatched the receipt from Vanessa's hand, his expression shifting into one of shock as he examined the details. He just couldn't believe what he was seeing. His eyes widened in disbelief as he scanned the receipt, his gaze fixating on the high price of the outfit. Not only did the loser manage to afford the outfit it seemed, but the staggering amount that the outfit cost was far beyond Mark's expectations. According to the receipt, the outfit that Josh had allegedly purchased cost more than $35,000, and that was more than the outfit he had ruined. Mark couldn't fathom how the broke Josh could have possibly come up with that amount of money. He continued examining the receipt, noting other details typical of receipts. But it was the cost that struck him the most, shaking his confidence and leaving him speechless. 'This can't be real. No way that loser bought this.' Mark's mind raced with thoughts, refusing to accept the truth. Josh had won, Vanessa had confirmed it,

Vanessa didn't need to say it; Josh could already tell what she was implying with her words. Surely she was suggesting that he must be hiding something about himself, because if not, why would someone like Mr. Sanchez be afraid of him at all? It meant that he was someone powerful, otherwise there was no way Mr Sanchez would have treated him the way he did.And the fact that when she asked him about it, he suddenly became slightly nervous and blurted out that she was mistaken only reinforced to Vanessa that he was indeed hiding something. His nervous reaction was proof of that. She gave him a suspicious look as she continued. “Really. Mr. Sanchez wouldn't have given you so much respect, and even given you something for free, if you weren't at least someone important.” she said, looking at his expression as she waited for him to say something.Well, she was onto him alright. It seemed like she really believed that he was lying about himself, making everyone believe he was a poor person:

What was even more worrying was that he didn't know what she wanted, or was trying to accomplish by agreeing to this relationship.Coming back to his thoughts, Josh looked towards Antonio, realizing that he was still deep in conversation with Rafael. “Did Giovanni see him?” Rafael asked.“No he didn't, luckily I was there, so I made sure they didn't see each other.” Antonio replied, referring to a few days, when Vincenzo showed up at the event, despite knowing that Giovanni would be there.Rafael gritted his teeth, “Then what the hell was he doing there? Doesn't he know the risks.”Antonio’s expression darkened. “He said he was there for business, but I think he was trying to send a message to Giovanni, that he won't be intimidated by him.”Rafael scoffed. “If Giovanni had seen him, things could have gotten very bad.”Josh couldn't help but listen closely as he heard Rafael and Antonio’s words. They were talking about Vincenzo as if he was some outsider, who was Giovanni's enemy. But

Josh didn't want to take Lilith’s story at face value. That could be a risky move, because she could be lying and twisting the truth to her advantage. He eyed her suspiciously as he asked, “How do you know all this?”Lilith explained. “It’s not a secret. Everyone in the underground world knows. “She revealed, " Don't believe me? Ask anyone, even Sofia.”Josh tightened his grip on the armrest slightly, his eyes filled with irritation. Everyone knows about this? And he had never thought to ask Sofia or Antonio about it.He felt annoyance flare in his chest. It was understandable that he would be annoyed at himself now, because he had just made a deal with Lilith for information he could have gotten on his own.Lilith watched him closely. Although she didn't show it on her face, she was clearly enjoying the realization dawning on his face. She thought of how easy it was. She made an offer, and he agreed without hesitation.Whatever. She was just glad he did. Now, she didn’t have to wor

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

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 turn

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
