I everyone, I was playing with a friend and this situation happened
My friend casts Gonti, lord of luxury and take the card transgress the mind from my deck.
Next turn he casts transgress the mind and i respond with unsubstantiate,what i guessed would happen is that the card comes back to MY hand.
Is this correct?
There were some doubts about the execution so I'd like to make this clear
Unsubstantiate says "owner's hand". That's you. Your friend is the spell's "controller" but if you brought the deck that the card is from you're the "owner". I'm almost completely certain there is no effect that would let you put someone else's cards into your hand.

That is correct, a cards owner is always the person who had it in their deck at the start of the game and will not change. If unsubstantiate counters the spell you are going to get it back in your hand.

There's even a rule that enforces this if some effect does manage to try to make this happen.
400.3. If an object would go to any library, graveyard, or hand other than its owner’s, it goes to its owner’s corresponding zone.
The only case I can remember this being relevant in was the original printing of Elixir of Immortality, which used to direct the controller to shuffle it into "your library" before they issued an errata to clarify that it goes into its owner's library. But apart from that, they're usually very good at being clear that a card goes to its owner's zone in cases like this.
