Brian was taken aback by Josh's courage to threaten him, all of a sudden. He looked at Josh, wondering what had given him the courage to say that? Josh never dared to talk to Brian like that in the past, he was always afraid. Even Brian's minions, who were always there to torment Josh, couldn't believe their ears. Josh just threatened Brian! Why would he do that? Wasn't he afraid of Brian anymore?This unexpected shift in Josh's behavior left everyone astonished, especially those who went to the same university with him and knew what a loser he was. The picture they had of Josh was so different from what he was acting like at the moment, so Where did he suddenly get the courage to talk back to Brian? Looked like an act of desperation from Josh, to try to put an end to the bullying that he had always been subjected to.After hearing Liam threaten him, Brian was offended. His face contorted in rage. The veins on his forehead bulged, his jaw clenched tight as he glared at Josh. He had wa

"My goodness, Brian, you can't just order the security guards to do that," Sofia interjected with a tone of disbelief and mockery as Brian attempted to assert his authority on the security guards. He took Sofia threatening him In Front of all these people as her humiliating him and he wasn't going to let that slide. In order to show everyone what the consequences of crossing him were, Brian had called the banquet hall security personnel, and ordered them to escort Josh and Sofia out of the hall. However the security guards, didn't seem to be listening to him, they were reluctant to heed his orders.Brian shot daggers at Sofia, annoyance evident in his eyes. No one had ever annoyed him like it was right now and he was doing his best to contain his anger. He glared at Josh, his gaze looking deep into Josh's eyes. ‘This is all this bastard's fault, I can't believe I'm getting disrespected because of this loser.” He thought to himself, still glaring at Josh who glared back at him. Shifti

Lucas's hands, once casually tucked in his pockets, clenched into fists, and his jaw clenched so tight. He looked into Sofia's eyes, his eyes dark and cold. The sight of her hand intertwined with another man's hand made him feel jealousy. He couldn't believe that, it had only been a week. Actually, not even a week, and he had already been replaced by this… guy!Lucas felt betrayed, like she'd cheated on him, even though they weren't dating anymore, and she had made it clear that there was nothing going on between them. Well, in his heart, they were still dating and she was not allowed to with be anyone else, it didn't matter that she didn't want him.Sofia could see the anger in Lucas' eyes, but she couldn't care less. She would have cared if it was in the past, but after everything he had put her through, she honestly didn't care for him anymore. Memories of his past infidelities, and the hurt he had put her through, through their two years relationship lingered in her mind, fueling h

Luca's sudden attack on him in the restroom flabbergasted Josh. He stumbled back, his mind reeling as he tried to process what was happening. He did not expect that at all. The cold look in Lucas's eyes was unmistakable, and Josh's initial confusion turned into a surge of anger. He couldn't believe that Lucas would just intrude his privacy and punch him! How dare he do that? Josh was fighting the urge to retaliate, but he stopped himself, knowing that if he did that, he might escalate things. Josh didn't want that because it wouldn't be in his best interest if things escalated.Their eyes met, the atmosphere in the restroom tensing with each passing second. The anger in Josh's gaze was unmistakable, and it looked as though he just might retaliate. In fact, the thought of hitting Lucas back crossed his mind.Josh had grown tired of being mistreated. When would it finally stop? When were people finally going to start giving him the respect he deserved? Those were the questions going on

Even after being told that he was not in danger, Josh was still skeptical to trust the man. And why would he trust someone who had kidnapped him? He was still very much wary and confused.The old man gestured for Josh saying, “I assume, you'd like to get back home as soon as possible.” He pointed to a seat beside him, “So, I think we should do this quickly.” The old man's demeanor seemed genuine, he didn't look like someone who would hurt Josh, or at least that's what he portrayed, wanting Josh to believe he was a good person, so that he could lower his guard.Josh was relieved slightly to hear the man talking about him going home, it seemed like he intended to let him go. The thought of home brought concern for his grandfather, Giovanni, and his brother, Antonio. Josh couldn't shake the worry that they might be concerned, especially since he hadn't returned home the previous night, and his phone remained off.Slightly at ease, Josh walked over towards the seat and sat down on a sof
