“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

    One week passed. John regained consciousness, and he went back home with only a small injury in his leg. After Divine was taken to the police, the stocks of the Hamington group went down. To survive that, Griffti became so busy with work, that he had no time to meet Gaston. Jules stayed in jail for the illegal use of drugs. Victoria was found in Divine’s secret condominium, where she hid her mother before the police raided the mental hospital. The police found out that Victoria wasn’t insane and therefore, she was brought to jail for attempted murder. As for Chairman Harold, he spends his days blaming himself for Divine’s mental illness. Sonny was demoted from his position as the vice president of the Chairman, and the prosecution banned him from leaving the country as the investigation is still ongoing. To know the real murderer of Elona, Divine was brought to the psychiatrist and received hypnosis treatment to bring out Divine’s split personality and asked her what really hap

    The party finished and Gaston was on his way home to his condominium. He asked his father if he wanted to stay alone for a while, and John understood it as Gaston was still mourning his friend’s death. Sitting on the car's back seat, Gaston was looking out the window. Lanceil was driving the car. The secretary peeked at Gaston. Gaston is one of the youngest and richest businessmen in the world. Everyone thought that he was living a wealthy life of success. But Lanceil could see the faint sadness in his eyes whenever he looked at him. ‘He is rich, successful, famous, young, and handsome. But looking at him, I realized that those were just a man’s title,’ Lanceil thought while looking at Gaston. Gaston got what he wanted. He took his revenge on the Solace family, helped Griffti become the chairman, saved Harold, and saved his life. But why does he feel empty? ‘I got my position back. I am not the richest guy in this country. Everyone was in a safe place. But… why do I feel li

    The only person who retrieved Gaston’s corpse from the jail was Jurgen. When he saw the cold corpse covered with a black blanket, what did Jurgen feel? Nothing. He felt empty. ‘With this, no one will know my secret. I will be Levi Hopkins until the day I die,’ Jurgen thought. He believed that his secrets would stay secret forever because Chairman Harold and Gaston both died. And it almost went that way. Jurgen inherited the Hopkins corporation. He married Divine Solice, and strengthen the two large corporations. Actually, it was Divine who managed both of the corporations as Jurgen knew nothing about managing business. He should be happy. ‘I have the wealth, I have the woman I love, I am successful.’ Like a mantra, Jurgen kept telling these words to himself every day, every night. But when he thought he was at the peak of success, memories of his past kept coming and coming like a broken plaque. He remembered the first time he met Gaston in the orphanage. [“No matter wh

    “That kid wasn’t talking.” “Maybe he couldn’t talk.” “And he doesn’t look friendly either.” “I don’t want to play with him.” Gaston has no memories of when he was brought to the orphanage. He hit his head during the tsunami outbreak and got separated from his father, John Hopkins. He could not even remember his own name. His mind was blank, and he lost his emotions. The kids in the orphanage avoided Gaston. They don’t want to play with him, as Gaston never talked. But among the kids, a boy was kind enough to accompany Gaston. “Hey, I am Jurgen. Do you want to play together?” Gaston only looked at him. He didn’t reply. Yet, Jurgen didn’t surrender. Every day, he kept on bugging Gaston and asking him to talk. Until one day, Gaston started to talk to Jurgen. “Can you leave me alone? You are so noisy.” Instead of getting mad, Jurgen celebrated. “Dude! You can talk! That’s a great achievement!” The emotionless Gaston slowly opened his heart. He gained his emotions back, and

    “Can you ask Gaston to have a trip with you?” John asked Gaston’s closest friend, Griffti.He gave him two plane tickets to Switzerland.Griffti looked at the plane tickets.After the party, many noticed that Gaston talked less than before. He has dark circles under his eyes, and he couldn’t even fake a smile on his lips. It was worse than the day Jurgen died.What happened to Gaston after the party?“So, you want to give this trip to Gaston so he can feel better?” Griffti asked John.“My son works so hard as the new Chairman of the Hopkins corporation. He told me that he was happy working for Hopkins. But after that day, Gaston suddenly changed. As if something really bad happened to him. Do you have any idea?”Griffti put down the plane tickets on the table.“I am sorry, Uncle. But I also have no idea why he suddenly shut himself down like that.”The two of them looked down and sighed.They all know what kind of a man Gaston is. He’s secretive and sometimes, if there’s a problem, he

    “Hello,” Jillian greeted. Gaston did not greet her back and just stepped aside as if asking her to come in. She happily accepted the offer. Entering the house, she smelled a malty scent of alcohol. ‘Did Gaston drink?’ she wondered. Hearing the door shut, Jillian turned around. It was only then she noticed that Gaston was wearing an apron and gloves in his hands. She was so occupied with seeing his face that she failed to notice his outfit for tonight. “I was cleaning some mess,” Gaston said even without Jillian asking. Then, he pointed to the living room. Jillian saw the empty cans above the center table and some unfinished chips below the table. “It wasn’t me,” Gaston said. “Edgar came here and made a mess.” “Ahh. So, Edgar visited you,” she said. Still, he asked, “Why did you come here?” He removed his gloves and took off his apron. He set those aside and walked closer to Jillian. Gaston did not offer her to sit down, as he thinks that the couches are dirty from alcohol’

    “No!” The loud shout echoed inside the condo unit. With widened eyes, Edgar looked at Gaston, who suddenly screamed out of nowhere. “W-Why?” Edgar stuttered in shock, wondering what made Gaston shout. Gaston stared at Edgar for a long time, trying in vain to compose himself. ‘What should I say?’ Gaston asked internally. “Don’t go inside my room,” is the first thing he thought of saying, which couldn’t conceal his nervousness. Gaston hated and condemned how stupid he was for not conquering the anxiety of getting caught. It would be much more awkward if Edgar found out that Jillian was inside. Edgar stared at Gaston who broke into sweat. Meanwhile, inside the room, Jillian paused like a statue after hitting the lamp by mistake. A moment ago, she noticed that the doorknob wasn’t locked. Therefore, she tiptoed towards the door. However, because it was dim inside the room, she bumped into the table and as a result, the lamp fell. Now, it went dark. Above all, Edgar heard it, and

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?"

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

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

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.

    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
