Gaston interrogated Rowen by using the same method Rowen used to torture the prisoners in the Mental hospital. The police had no clue what Gaston did, but they gave him consent to keep one of the witnesses since he was the one who discovered the evil deeds happening in the underground facility of the hospital. “Haa, haa, haa,” Rowen was breathing heavily after being electrocuted. He looked at Gaston and detached his lips, “I don’t know what happened to that woman. I don’t know.” Gaston stared at Rowen, who was on the verge of losing consciousness. Last night, Victoria confessed everything to Gaston. She said that Divine was Eliona’s murderer. After that, Victoria was tortured. The staff brought her back to her room. But Victoria didn’t come out. When the police came, the Madam went missing. “It seems he’s not lying, Gaston,” Edgar said. Gaston looked at the staff of the mental hospital. Rowen only follows the orders from the higher-ups, but he also enjoyed the process of torme
When Jurgen spent his days in prison, the memories of the future came bit by bit. He thought that he accidentally just put the drug into the Chairman’s teapot so he could delay Harold from exposing his secret. But the memories that came back were different: “I can’t let the Chairman tell father that I am fake Levi. I can’t.” Smiling like a madman, Jurgen leaned on the teapot. He was about to pour the drug but stopped when he heard a loud voice outside the Chairman’s office. “Hey! Jurgen! I know that you are there!” As soon as Jurgen heard that voice, he grinned. Jurgen quickly poured a small amount of drug into the teapot. Then, he placed the sachet of drug on the table and looked at the opening door. Bam! The door opened with a Bam! The furious grandson, Jules Solice, came in. “There you are, you bastard,” Jules called as he closed the door. Sitting calmly, Jurgen looked back at him. “Hello, my dearest brother-in-law.” “Don’t you dare call me brother-in-law. You and my si
Jillian was tied around the chair with duct tape on her mouth. She lifted her head and looked at the kidnapper. It was one of her childhood friends, Jurgen Veil. Sitting in front of her, Jurgen noticed Jillian’s stare. “What? You wanted to say something?” Since Jillian had her mouth covered with the tape, she couldn’t say a thing. Jurgen then removed the tape and let her talk. “Why are you doing this, Jurgen?” Jillian asked. Jurgen could not answer the question right away. “You and Gaston were great friends. When the children in the orphanage avoided me, the two of you still played with me. Why are you doing this?” Why would Jurgen do this? He’s not Levi Hopkins anymore. Even if he remembered the future, nothing would change. Then, Jurgen recalled the time he visited Gaston in the jail before Gaston died. [“I did consider you as my friend, before. But a thief cannot be a friend. I stole everything from you. Your father, your woman, your wealth, your position as the heir of
Dissociative identity disorder, or Multiple personality disorder, is a mental health condition in which a person has two or more separate identities. Personalities control someone’s behavior at different times. Each identity has its own personal history, traits, likes and dislikes. DID can lead to gaps in memory and hallucinations where a person believes that something is real when it isn’t. In Divine’s case, she has two identities. The “core” which is his usual personality. And the “Alter” named Isabelle, the alternate personality. Isabell is 60-year-old and a mother who believes that he could protect Divine from the other people. He was created in Divine’s mind to get rid of the loneliness Divine had when she was young. Since Divine thought that she lacked affection, an imaginary mother named Isabelle came into her life and vowed to protect her like a parent. However, Isabelle has a selfish personality. She taught Divine that the only way to get rid of her loneliness is to eradi
“Sir Gaston, are you on your way to the Chairman’s room?” the maid asked Gaston when she saw him. “Ahhh, yes. I was on my way. Why?” “The Chairman needs this,” the maid showed the medicine in her hand. “Right. Give me that.” Gaston got the medicine and looked at the teapot the maid was holding on the tray. “This, the tea got cold. So, I was going to brew him another one,” the maid explained. “No worries. I will prepare one for him myself.” “Really?” “Hmmm. You can go now.” “Alright.” The maid went away, and Gaston walked towards the Chairman’s room alone. When he arrived in front of the room, Gaston knocked on the door. “Grandpa?” After a few seconds, Harold answered, “Is it you, Gaston?” “Y-Yes. It’s me, Grandpa. I got your medicine.” “Come in.” When Gaston came, he couldn’t see anything because the room was dark. He groped for the switch and turned it on. As the light enveloped the room, Gaston finally saw the Chairman sitting on his bed while looking outside the win
Using Divine’s face, the alternate personality Isabelle, went to the mansion’s security system room. The room was empty when he went there. As she walked inside the room with multiple screens hung on the wall, Isabelle locked the door. The plan to assassinate Divine’s grandfather to protect her secret would only be successful if there was no evidence left. “Let’s erase everything,” Isabelle hummed as she looked at the footage which was recorded by the CCTV cameras in the hallway of the mansion. She replayed all the footage and was about to delete them, but she stopped when she saw something interesting. In the morning, there were three people who visited the Chairman’s office. First was Gaston, second was Jurgen, and Jules was the last one. After that, Divine went to the Chairman’s room. If the Chairman would die today, there would be four suspects. Isabelle looked at the screen. Currently at that time, she saw Gaston walking inside the Chairman’s room. A wide grin appeared on h
“That’s right. Because of everyone in this place, Divine became a monster. She created me. And I had to make everyone who abandoned her disappear.” Harold realized why Divine created Isabelle. Harold looked at the telephone beside him. If only he was dealing with Divine, then he does not need to worry about a thing. But the person in front of him wasn’t Divine, but a personality who was determined to get rid of everyone. Anything that would change Divine’s mind and destroy the monster that she created. ‘I need to call for help,’ Harold thought. He reached for the telephone. However, Isabelle stood up and held Harold’s hand which was holding the phone. Gasping, Harold looked at his granddaughter’s face. “Why are you so scared?” Isabelle asked Harold with a smirk. “I said that I would only rid those who abandoned Divine. You haven’t completely abandoned him, so there’s no need to get scared. But your face is so pale, Harold.” Isabelle tightened her clutch around Harold’s hand and
Jurgen told Gaston to come alone if he wanted to see Jillian alive, and if he wanted to know how the Chairman died in the original future. Griffti called him foolish for following Jurgen’s demands. But Gaston knew that this is the safest way to make a negotiation. After all, he only realized his feelings for Jillian because of this. When Gaston went to the deep forest where Jurgen told him to come, the sun was about to set. Out of many places, Gaston could tell why Jurgen asked him to come here. This is secluded, and even if you scream at the top of your lungs, no one will hear you. ‘Is he planning to end everything here?’ Gaston thought. There are huge cliffs, with sharp rocks and a deep river below. Anyone who falls there will die. “Jurgen!” Gaston shouted. “I am here!” Rustle. A silhouette appeared from the depth of the bushes and tall trees. Gaston saw Jurgen walking closer, with a knife in his hand. Gaston frowned when he didn’t see Jillian with him. “Long time no see
January 3, 2024. The World Health Organization declared that the Covid-19 pandemic, who claimed millions of lives over the past year, is no longer a global health emergency. Thanks to Dr. Yuhana’s research and the cure that Hamington and Hopkin’s Medical Research Corporation revealed. “Dr. Yuhana is there!” “Quick!” When Yuhana walked out of the Medical Research building, many reporters waited for her outside. They were all eager to get an interview to the doctor who invented the medicine that saved millions of people around the glove. Wearing her white doctor’s gown, Yuhana looked at the reporters, which were blocked but the Corporation’s guards. “Dr. Yuhana! How did you come up with the medicine?” “It is true that you and the two corporation foresaw the virus and created the cure before it appeared?” “You created the medicine against a deadly virus within a year! Any thoughts?” “Dr. Yuhana, please answer the question?!” Smiling, Yuhana opened her lips, and everyone shut th
A deadly virus from an animal affected of SARS and MERS will kill million of people starting from December of 2022. Dr. Yuhan, who heard it, could hardly believe what she just heard. “He’s insane. It is impossible to guess a virus that hasn’t arrived yet,” she mumbled before she heard a kid groaning in pain. Yuhan quickly moved up and examined the kid. "Tumbo lako vipi?" (How's your stomach?) she asked to a kid who showed symptoms of the Waterborne disease. "Inauma," (It hurts) he said while pressing his stomach. The only treatment for this is drinking plenty of safe water, rest, and take over-the-counter diarrheal medication. But... "Una maji, daktari?" (do you have some water, doctor?) he asked with teary eyes. ‘What should I do? I didn't get any today,’ Yuhana worried. "Where should I get some water?" she murmured as she tied her hair up. "Excuse me," a voice called her. When she tilted his head, she saw Gaston. "Do you need some help?" Since the day Gaston came there,
With approximately 30.37 million km2 area, Gaston arrived at the second largest continent in the world – Africa. Gaston saw the breathtaking natural landscapes, rich cultural diversity, and wildlife safaris. Although he was amazed at the country’s beauty, he was aware that he didn’t come here just to take a vacation. Upon his research, Dr. Yuhan was sent to Democratic Republic of the Congo, Maneima to do a research about the waterborne disease around the town. Enduring the very hot weather, Gaston went to the Maneima to find the doctor. He didn’t take his guards with him, as he doesn’t want to appear like a super rich person. Instead, he only too Secretary Lanceil with him. “Are we there yet?” Secretary Lanceil asked to Gaston. Gaston looked back and saw his secretary catching his breath. He wanted to laugh at him. “That’s why I told you that you didn’t need to come with me,” Gaston said while walking. “How can I do that, Sir? You are my boss,” Lanceil answered. Not long after
By 31 December 2022, the World Health Organization will inform the world about the cases of pneumonia in Wuhan City, Province of China. It will be the start of the pandemic virus named Covid-19. Gaston cannot stop a virus from spreading. But he found out a way to minimize the casualties it would result. And also, things to do to maintain the economy growth of the world. That was the reason why he offered Griffti to run a huge Medical project with him before November ends. ‘With Hamington’s construction’s ability, it is possible,’ Griffti thought. “But I don’t know why he suddenly thought of that,” he added. Gaston helped him and the Hopkins to grow because he saw the future six months before he died in the past. But now, Gaston has no idea about what will happen in the next months and years. “Gaston is crazy,” Edgar said. Sitting inside the Hour Investment Company, which became their hangout place, Griffti looked at Edgar. “Did Gaston come to you and ask you to do things al
November of 2022.Gaston came back to the present.The $30 million Gideon watch that he bought from Switzerland vanished into thin air. But Gaston didn’t regret anything. Traveling in the future was worth it.Gaston and Jane went back to the country. And once they were back, Jane went to visit Gaston’s father, John.“How was your trip to Switzerland?” John asked to Jane.Jane fidgeted her fingers above her lap. She and Gaston hadn’t told John that they are not in a relationship.“Did Gaston confess to you?” John teased the lady.Jane’s face reddened, and it was enough for John to figure out what happened.“So, are you two dating?” he asked.Jane’s mouth opened and closed several times. She couldn’t say the truth, or lie in front of Gaston’s father.John laughed at Jane’s reaction. He understood that Jane wanted Gaston to tell this to John, and therefore he stopped teasing the lady.“Don’t worry. I will wait for Gaston to tell me everything.”“T-Thank you, Uncle,” Jane said.“Don’t nee
Griffti, the Chairman of the Hamington Corporation, was working alone in his office. Even though years passed by, he was still having a hard time defeating his disease. Especially after his grandfather died in the hands of his cousin, Divine. ‘Will there be a day when I will feel peace?’ Griffti asked that to himself. Knock knock. He looked at the door of his office. “Sir, it’s me,” his secretary announced. “Come in.” The secretary came in, but he stopped and stood from a great distance. Serving Griffti, the secretary knew that his boss hates close contact. Or else, his panic disorder will attack. “Chairman, I need to report something.” “Tell me.” “You received mail.” “You could have just sent it to my email account.” “N-No. The mail was a real letter.” “Real letter?” “Yes. The man said that I should deliver this directly to you.” Frowning, Griffti responded, “Throw it away. You should be careful and stop receiving suspicious thing from a random stranger.” “Sir, the m
Gaston and Edgar hung out at the rooftop of the apartment building where Edgar was living.Looking at the bright City, they drink beer together.“It’s fortunate that my father didn’t take you to prison,” Gaston said to Edgar.Edgar glared at him.“I thought I am going to die while his guards were chasing after me. Be thankful that you are my friend.”“Yes. Thank you so much, Edgar.”“Huh! As long as you know.”The two of them took sips on their beers.“So, what is your plan now? You talked to Jurgen and stopped his death. But you still have one day left. Do you have another plan?”‘If I will go back to the present, I might as well learn more things in this time that will help me,’ Gaston thought.“Edgar, you still following the economic reports around the world, right?”“Of course! Even if I am living like this, I am still hoping that someday, I would be given a chance to start a business again. I have a lot of ideas, especially after the pandemic.”“Then, can you tell me everything t
“That’s right. I am the friend who died for you, Jurgen.” What did Jurgen feel when he saw his best friend? Remorse. Guilt. Happiness. “You’re alive. You are… alive.” Crying, Jurgen went close to Gaston. He held his shoulder, as he wanted to make sure that this is not an illusion which he usually saw every day. “I am so happy. So happy!” Jurgen cried out loud. His knees gave in, and he knelt on the ground, lowering his head. When Gaston saw it, he felt the pain inside his chest. Gideon was right. Jurgen regretted everything and he was willing to end his life for Gaston. “Sorry, Gaston. Please, forgive me,” Jurgen cried, kissing the floor. Gaston only looked down at him. “I was wrong. I gave up our friendship just for my greed. I… I deserve to die, Gaston.” Gaston knew Jurgen was serious because he did end his life just to turn back time. “I thought that if I have your life, if I became rich, and if I got Divine, I will be happy,” Jurgen added. “But no. Ever since you d
Edgar had no choice but to listen to Gaston’s story.Of course, he could hardly believe that a dead person came back alive.But Gaston knew one way to convince him.“So, you mean, in another world, another time, the two of us succeeded in launching the Protix Hoverbike?” Edgar asked in disbelief.Gaston nodded his head.Although it was unbelievable, the news made Edgar so happy.“That was… awesome,” Edgar uttered, and he burst out crying. “I was miserable for years after my wife abandoned me and sold my invention to another company. I spent years in jail, and now, I am living so hard.”Gaston stared at his friend and mourned his grievance.“Actually, I still could not believe that you are Gaston and you traveled from another time. But hearing this made me so fucking happy.”A smile spread on Gaston’s lips. Even the other time, Edgar believed him although he could not understand all of Gaston’s words.“Then, I have a question,” Edgar said. “If everything you said is true, why did you
