All Chapters of The Lost Son's Return : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Josh was taken aback when, out of nowhere, his grandfather suggested that he and Lilith should get married. Shocked by the unexpected proposal, Josh felt a wave of disbelief and discomfort. Marriage was nowhere on his agenda, especially considering he didn't know Lilith at all.The fact that his grandfather would make such a decision without consulting him first, made Josh feel hurt and unimportant. He felt like his grandfather didn't value his opinion or care about his feelings. It seemed to Josh that his grandfather was treating him as a tool to strengthen his own relationship with the Washington family. Josh couldn't help but feel bad about himself and his place in this new world he had just been thrown into. The suddenness of the announcement left him confused and struggling to understand the strange dynamics of his newfound family.Josh and Lilith shared a common feeling of disagreement with Giovanni's suggestion. Josh, was still a a university student, and he was just 20 years o

The pressure was intense for the Washington family, fearing Giovanni's wrath for their dealings with his enemies.Mr. Washington, worried and understanding the deadly consequences he and his family might face for betraying Giovanni, knew he couldn't defy him, so he quickly agreed to Giovanni's demands. He knew that complying with Giovanni's wishes was essential for the safety of his family.Though internally conflicted and uneasy about the sudden arrangement of a marriage between Josh and Lilith, Mr. Washington recognized that he had no other choice. Hearing her dad and mom give in to Giovanni's demands, Lilith's frustration and displeasure was evident on her face, as she frowned, feeling a mixture of irritation and disappointment. The sudden agreement from her parents to her marriage without any consideration or discussion left her feeling neglected and disrespected. It seemed as though her desires and opinions were entirely ignored in this crucial decision, making worse her frustr

Surprised by the statement, Josh was puzzled. Who was this person calling him, and claiming to be his father? Perhaps it was a wrong number, he thought to himself. And it made sense that the person who had called him had dialed the wrong number, because Josh didn't have a dad as far as he knew. "Sorry, who's this? I think you've called the wrong person," Josh responded casually.“No, no, Josh, I think I've called the ring person.” The man over the phone insisted. “Your name is Josh, and you go to Elysium university,” The man said, eager to prove to Josh that he was his dad.Josh was taken aback by the fact that the man knew his name and had addressed him by it,,“How do you know my name?” “Do you believe me now?” The man asked.The man's insistence had Josh on edge. Sitting on the front porch, he held the phone to his ear, his mind racing. "I don't have a dad," he muttered, trying to make sense of the surreal conversation. He was a 100 percent sure that the man was lying, perhaps tryi

His gaze fixated on the new professor, who also turned out to be the same person who Kathy betrayed him with, Josh felt a surge of anger build up inside him. The classroom seemed to fade away, the voices of his classmates blurring into a distant hum Josh's entire focus was on Carlos, his eyes burning with a mix of fury and resentment. He clenched his fists tightly, his muscles tensing as he struggled to contain the rage that threatened to consume him.It wasn't the fact that, his ex girlfriend had cheated on him, with Carlos that made Josh resent the man, it was the fact that he got beat up pretty badly and humiliated by him, and If it wasn't for the lady that had stopped the henchmen from beating him up even further, then the henchmen would have done even more damage to him. Now all Josh wanted was payback.Carlos, the lecturer, his gaze darting around the room, looking at his students as he addressed them, had a slightly surprised expression when his eyes met with Josh's. He was s

Hearing the authorities demands, Josh stepped out of his car, raising his arms in a gesture of surrender. His voice laced with confusion Josh asked. "Officers, what's happening?" he inquired, his eyes darting between the stern faces of the approaching policemen.With a stern look on his face, a burly police officer approached him, his eyes cold and devoid of any emotion,"Hands behind your back," he commanded, his voice lacking any sympathy.Josh froze to the spot, still very confused with the incident. What was going on? Did he do something wrong? He didn't remember commiting any crime, so he didn't understand what this was all about. Seeing as Josh was not putting his hands behind his back as told, the police officer approached him aggressively.Josh heart pounding in his chest as the burly officer grabbed him, pinning him against the car. Efficiency, the officer produced handcuffs and secured Josh's wrists, leaving him bewildered and helpless.Josh's mind raced, desperately trying
