Henry Constantine stood in the living room, his eyes fixed on the man who was his father, but didn't recognize him. Clifford Constantine, a young man in his early thirties, with a confused expression on his face, looked back at Henry."Who are you?" Clifford asked, his voice firm but laced with a hint of uncertainty.Henry took a deep breath, trying to composed himself. He had traveled back in time to 2006, a year that was etched in his memory as a pivotal moment in his father's life. He had to be careful, very careful, if he wanted to change the course of events that led to his father's demise."I'm... Henry," he said, trying to sound as normal as possible.Clifford's eyes narrowed. "I don't know you. What are you doing in my house?"Henry's heart raced as he struggled to find the right words. He couldn't reveal his true identity, not yet. He had to gain his father's trust, and the only way to do that was to play along."I... I think I might have gotten lost," Henry said, trying to s
Henry caught everyone's attention as he arrived at the mansion carrying bags of food."What took you so long?! We have been waiting for you to make us breakfast!" As soon as his mother-in-law saw him, she threw the goblet on the table at him."I apologize, Madame Ofelia. There was a car accident on my way. I was stuck in a traffic," Henry apologized, barely dodged the goblet thrown at his face.The glass made a shattering sound. If it hit him in the face, they might still think the blood would stain the floor."You damn loser, how dare do you talk to me like this?! I can't believe why Margaret married a useless man like you." The old lady was outraged, started mourning, loudly, “Richard, my love. If you’re alive, you won’t let this bastard destroyed our beautiful glasses.”Henry was at a loss whether to laugh, and silently sat down beside Margret, his wife.She was comforting her mother.Richard Wellington – Margaret‘s father, Ofelia’s husband - just passed away." Everything will be a
Everyone is struggling to process the information they just learned. Madame Ofelia looks like she will have a heart attack because of it. "What?! H-how is that loser going to inherit Dad's wealth? This is ridiculous!!" William protested. He felt like heavens and earth collided because his brother-in-law became the beneficiary. "Attorney Garcia! This is impossible! Why would Henry inherit the wealth when he knows nothing about our family's business? He's just a burden to our family," Gregory, William's cousin, chimed in."Exactly, if anyone deserves the inheritance, it should be William or my son Gregory, who knows how to handle large corporations," Auntie Faustina joined in, hoping to secure some shares as Richard's sister."Quiet! I won't allow anyone especially that peasant to become a beneficiary!" William angrily pointed at Henry, who had no idea what was going on. "Speak up, Henry! Did you plan this to take over our family's wealth?!" William exclaimed. Henry still couldn't s
Days had passed and Henry remained to be a public discussion and his relationship with the Wellingtons became even more chaotic."Henry, some more investors have pulled out from our company!" Margaret delivered the news anxiously. She sat on the couch, at a loss of what to do to help her family who were at risk of losing millions of money because there was no one competent managing the companies they owned."What can I do to fix this?" Henry asked, having not slept properly for days because of the problems he was facing."I don't know, Henry. Maybe we should ask Mr. Garcia for help on what we should do." Margaret reached for her phone to call the lawyer.They were able to easily communicate with Mr. Garcia who immediately visited them at their hotel."You have the right to reject the inheritance, Mr. Constantine. You have two options. First is a formal disclaimer to express your intent to renounce the inheritance," Mr. Garcia explained, willing to help Henry if he wanted to give up be
"I will not know it unless you tell me if you still trust me?" Margaret also asked a question that even Henry could not answer. It was during Henry's senior high-school years that he met Margaret, who was widely known on their campus because aside from being the daughter of a wealthy family, she was also gifted with beauty and talent.In an unexpected turn of events, the two crossed paths because of a dare that Margaret accepted from her friends, which was to make Henry, an odd duck, to be her boyfriend.Henry couldn't believe it when the girl he likes asked him to be her boyfriend. He immediately fell crazy in love with Margaret, but he had no idea that it was all just a game. Everyday, Henry watch her play the cello in the music room. Until he saw her kissing another man which break his heart for the first time.Since that day Henry lost trust in Margaret, but they were not completely separated by fate when Margaret used Henry once again to escape from an arranged marriage. Henry
The chaos didn't end there because William wouldn't let his sister Margaret to have it all and he believes that he should be the one in power over their dad's wealth. "You're so foolish for giving everything to Margaret! She knows nothing about running a business!" William wanted to humiliate his sister, but Henry was ready to defend his wife's name."That's not true! Margaret is a smart, capable woman who is more than qualified to run the company," Henry corrected. He knew Margaret had enough knowledge and experience to handle their father's business."Qualified?! Oh please! What can a housewife married to a stupid man like you do?" William insulted them, and Margaret couldn't hold back her anger anymore, confronting him with her eyes flashing."I am not just a housewife! I have a degree in business administration and I worked in the corporate world for years!" Margaret rambled, trying to stand up against her brother."Oh, really?? What were you a secretary? Oh, come on! You're so i
When Richard Wellington disappeared, Henry was left kneeling on the floor in extreme grief upon learning the truth. He was also in pain knowing he made the biggest mistake by giving up the wealth that his father owned and was falsely accused of stealing it. Henry only held the precious thing that his father left him before he was killed, "This is the only thing I have for you, Henry. Promise me my son that you never let it slip away from your hand," Henry remembered the night when his father gave him the watch, but he failed to keep the promiseHenry was only seven years old when his family faced danger. His mother was mercilessly killed by armed men in their house while his father took him to an orphanage to keep him safe before dying.However, a person secretly visited Henry at the orphanage claiming to be a friend of his father. He was Richard Wellington, revealing the news that his father was a bad person and was being pursued by the police for theft and murder.Henry was deeply
Three minutes left before twelve midnight, Henry remained standing in front of the mirror inside the bar's comfort room, anticipating his incredible change.Wanted to witness his transformation with his own two eyes. Observing his own reflection, he noticed how scruffy he was. His hair was messy, his white polo has patches of dirty marks. Henry admits he's not good of grooming himself. “What the hell is wrong with me?” he asked his reflection, a question only time could answer.Henry suddenly wondered things, he couldn't understand why he was always hated by people when did nothing wrong, always ignored like he's invisible, being judged when he's being true to himself. Henry was used being humiliated by the people who thinks his existence is a mistake and taken advantage of his kindness and innocence. “Henry, it’s time,” he heard Nova give an update. He checked his watch and saw that the transformation he had been waiting for would happen in sixty seconds.Henry also followed Nova
