Josh faced Alicia, his facial expression serious as he replied to her question. “Yeah.” He could tell by her facial expression how shocked she was. Now that the tables had turned, Josh felt like it was only fair that he should teach Alicia a lesson. She had accused him of sneaking into the mansion and even tried to get him kicked out of the event. But now, with the tables turned, he felt it was only fair to give her a taste of her own medicine.Alicia was left speechless after hearing Josh confirm that he was indeed Mr Ramirez's grandson. Initially, when Mr Ramirez had mentioned that Josh was his grandson, she had made herself doubt its seriousness, thinking that he must be playing around. However she quickly realized there was no reason for Mr. Ramirez to fabricate such a claim. As surreal and surprising as it seemed, it was true, leaving her unsure how to react to this revelation. After all, she had known Josh for a while now, and he had always portrayed himself as a poor loser e

As he didn't know the reason why they didn't want to meet him, it made Josh feel kind of rejected already. On top of that he was also confused, and felt hurt and disappointed. Why would the people he had never met a day in his life, not want to meet him, despite being related? It made Josh suspicious, thinking that they might be underlying secrets and issues within the family that he was not yet aware of. As Josh was lost in thought, Mr. Ramirez's voice snapped him back to reality. Coming out of his thoughts, he quickly glanced in Mr. Ramirez's direction, replying. “Uhm… you were saying?” He asked, trying to remember what his grandfather was talking about, however he couldn't, since he was completely lost in thought for a moment. "Sorry, I couldn't hear you, was lost in thought," he regrettably admitted, shaking off his distraction.Ah, I was just mentioning that, I want to introduce you to some important people.” Mr Ramirez said, “You might recognize some of them, since they are wel

Josh had nothing to say to them, so he left Marco and Isabella’s room, feeling a mix of anger and sadness. He made his way back downstairs, trying to compose himself before rejoining the party. He still couldn't help feeling sadness and anger, as he was considered an outsider by his cousin and uncle, the people who he was related to by blood. He wouldn't have been surprised if it was someone else whom he wasn't related to, however these were people he was related to, his late mom's brother and her niece. As Josh walked back to where the event was, the laughter and music now felt different, overshadowed by the confrontation upstairs. As he entered the main hall, he forced a smile, engaging in more conversations, but his mind kept drifting back to Marco and Isabella’s words. Josh’s thoughts were consumed by the harsh reality that some family members didn’t accept him.After what felt like an eternity, almost three hours later, the event was finally coming to an end. Some guests starte

Josh looked at Vanessa as he replied, “I haven't been telling stories to anyone.” He couldn't understand why she would claim his story didn't match reality when he had never told anyone anything about himself. Infact people had found out that he grew up in an orphanage by themselves, while simply assumed he was poor because of his appearance,Vanessa's grin widened sensing she had struck a nerve in him. He wasn't even denying the fact that he came from a wealthy background anymore, and that meant that she was right about him. “Oh, come on, Josh. Don’t play dumb with me. You may not have said anything, but you haven’t exactly corrected anyone’s assumptions either, have you?”Josh's eyes narrowed slightly, frustration creeping in as he thought of a way to respond to Vanessa. Her interrogatory questions and smug attitude were beginning to grate on him. He couldn't help feeling annoyed by her relentless curiosity. She had no business investigating his background.Josh was about to respond

So the text from Antonio lay unread. As he glanced at his cellphone screen, Josh was reminded of the life he was reluctantly being pulled into. He sighed, looking around the luxurious cafe as he was trying to push the thoughts of his involvement with the Mafia to the back of his mind. The calm atmosphere of the café was very different to the dangerous world he was now part of. Although his life was calm now, he couldn't help feeling like sooner or later, chaos would erupt. For now, Josh wanted to enjoy a few moments of peace before deciding if he should embrace being part of a Mafia family or not. It was a hard decision for him to make, since it was thanks to Giovanni, the head of the Mafia that he now could live a luxurious life, however at the same time he was afraid of the consequences that came with being part of a Mafia family.A few minutes passed. And Josh had settled on the seat and was immersed in his work. Josh's eyes darted towards the entrance and noticed a man in his mi
