Chapter 121

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

With just one look at the three individuals standing next to Mr. Ramirez was all Josh needed to tell that these were his grandfather's relatives, and by extension, there were also his relatives, since he was Mr. Ramirez's grandson. “Josh,” Mr. Ramirez called out to him with a warm smile playing on his lips, “I want you to meet some very special people.”He looked at the younger man first, who was about Josh's age, and introduced him, “This is Matteo, your cousin.” He said, with pride in his voice. He was very excited to finally be able to introduce Josh to some members of the family. Why wouldn't he be excited? For so long, he had been looking for Josh, for more than a decade. Memories of the sleepless nights and endless searches flashed through his mind. He had used all his power and connections to try and find his grandson. He had followed every lead. He had even hired the best private investigators from around the country, and held on to every hope, and now, standing here, he cou

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

The event was still in full swing, with laughter and the sound of clinking glasses filling the room. At that moment, Josh had just finished chatting with someone. He had spoken to so many people tonight that he was feeling drained. Seemed like the fact that he was new to the family had a lot of people intrigued, who couldn't help approaching him just to ask him questions. Questions like how did he grow up, how did it feel to move from being a poverty stricken struggling young man to now being wealthy because of his grandfather? Feeling the need for a moment of solitude, Josh approached a waiter, who was carrying a tray full of beverages, doing his job. “Umm, excuse me… sir, could you tell me where the bathroom is?" he asked politely. The waiter smiled politely. "Of course, sir. It's upstairs, down the hall to your right.""Thank you," Josh replied, giving the waiter a friendly smile as he turned around and started making his way to the staircase.As he climbed the fancy staircase a

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

A little while later, Josh arrived back at home. Feeling very worn out after the event, he wanted no time as he immediately went to sleep.The next morning, when he was up, he took a refreshing shower. Coming out of the shower with only a towel wrapped around his waist, he walked over to his bedroom window, gazing out at the quiet garden below. As he scanned the place he noticed Sofia, riding a horse along the garden path, guiding the horse with practiced ease. It struck Josh as odd to see her here at this hour.’Doesn't she have to go to college?’ he wondered to himself, recalling that she was usually very busy with her studies and extracurricular activities.At that same time, Sofia noticed Josh looked down at her from his window, she slowed her horse to a stop and looked up with a mischievous grin. "Enjoying the view?" she called out teasingly, her tone laced with sarcasm.Josh smiled, waving in response. He was about to make a comment about her on the horse, however before he cou

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

After his lessons were over, Josh made his way out of the lecture hall. His backpack slung over his shoulder, he walked down the hallway, making his way out of the building. He let out a sigh, feeling exhausted from the long day at college.As he stepped outside, into the warm afternoon sun, his eyes landed on Amelia as she was engaged in a conversation with some of her friends. When she noticed Josh walking by she smiled faintly and said, “Hey Josh.”"Hey, Amelia," Josh replied, giving her a faint smile as he continued walking. He couldn't help noticing that her friends rolled their eyes when they saw him.Not surprising, he thought. Ever since Amelia had started showing interest in him, her friends didn't hide their disdain for Josh. They looked down on Josh still and didn't like the fact that Amelia was interested in someone like him. They came from affluent backgrounds, their lives filled with designer clothes, luxury cars and more. While Josh was a nobody in their eyes. He didn'

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

After the man had departed, Josh was left sitting there, his mind filled with questions. The encounter had certainly left him intrigued and puzzled. “Strange.” He muttered to himself. How did the man know his name? Josh didn't remember sharing it, making it very suspicious that the man would know who he was. And then there was the pendant. It looked like the same one his mom had always worn, however he couldn't confirm if it was the same one or not. He was really young at the time she died so he didn't really remember how the pendant really looked, but when he saw the one the man had, he felt like it was very similar to the one that belonged to her.When his mom died, he tried to recover it, but he was told it had been lost. Seeing the similar pendant around the man's neck brought back a flood of memories.Still, he was aware that just because the pendant was similar it didn't mean it was the same. Yet, Josh couldn't shake off the feeling that there was more to this encounter that me
