“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

    Gaston thought Jillian would not believe him. But she did. And how did Jillian react after hearing his story, she went to him and hugged him tight. Jillian wrapped her hands around his waist, while still holding the picture. Then, she tapped his back, as if putting someone to sleep. “I don’t know how to comfort you,” Jillian whispered. “But thank you for staying alive. Thank you for being strong, Gaston. I know this is what Jurgen wanted you to do.” Gaston wasn’t sure which part touched his heart. But when Jillian said words that he really wanted to hear, he shed tears. When she calmed down, the two of them pulled back from each other. After being silent for long minutes, Gaston spoke. “Did you eat dinner?” Jillian ate before coming here. But she answered, “N-Not yet.” She kept on telling herself that she didn’t lie because she wanted to spend more time with Gaston. ‘It is because I haven’t told him the main reason why I came, so I had to stay a bit longer,’ Jillian told her

    Switzerland. It is a small landlocked mountainous country, known for its Swiss Alps, located in central Europe between France and Germany. It is an incredible place, and it is often believed that it has a real charm to it. According to the latest report, Switzerland is the fourth happiest country in the world, with an above-average contentment among its citizens. “Wow! I have nothing to say but ‘wow’,” Jillian uttered while looking around. It was a place that she dreamed about visiting as soon as she saw it from the recommendation on the internet. But being here in person put her expectations near perfection. It was better than she imagined. The landscapes are gorgeous, the towns are cute, and it was easy for them to navigate by public transportation. There are dramatic alpine valleys, and charming architecture, all in all, it has a beauty that can surely impress everyone. Seeing this, Jillian knew right then that she had made the right choice of coming here. Taking way in the c

    The next destination Gaston and Jillian went to is Oberhofen Castle. It is located right on the shore of Lake Thun and surrounded by a 2.5-hectare park. This 13th century castle is one of the most breathtaking places in Switzerland. The romantic castle will tell everyone the history of the residents and the former owners of the castle. The castle only opens from mid-May to mid-October. Fortunately, they came at the right time. The first place they visit is the flower-filled ground. They walked between the vibrant blooms and through the coniders, decidous trees, and exotid redwoods park. There is even a unique pergola of hornbeams, a gardener lodge and a chalet for children of the aristocracy. Gatson was amazed at the beautiful landscaped English park with the stunning views of the Bernese Alps. The architecture evolved over time, but the old style will never get old. And he thinks that he can treat this trip to this castle as his review. After the garden, they went to the main b

    Jillian’s POVAs the dawn broke, we visited the Milles Sens Les Gouts De Monde Restaurant, which is one of the best restaurants to visit in Bern. It is a lively modern restaurant with a minimalist-style establishment. When I was searching for this on the internet, I heard great reviews about the place’s mouthwatering menus such as Aargau chicken tagine, Gurten highland beef duo, and exotic Thai green vegetable curry.Once Gaston and I stepped inside the restaurant, we automatically heard the music playing at a moderate level and the low-voice laughter of the customers. Right off the back, the restaurant’s ambiance had a positive vibe.I also loved the interior decoration and seating arrangements.“I heard you can ask for candlelight dinner in this place,” I said as I sat down.Perching on the other side across mine, Gaston looked at me and asked, “Do you want to ask for candlelight dinner?”Candlelight dinner will make the environment between us very romantic. So…“No. Just sharing wi

    Third Person’s POV Surely, trying chocolates, visiting many shops, enjoying the breathtaking mountain scenery and lakes, and grabbing one of the whimsical trains were fun during the day. But as the sun goes down, and Switzerland’s after-dark alter ego takes over, some people took the time to have fun and blow off some steam.It was a crackerjack nightlife in the city, whether it meant having DJ-driven dance clubs, cocktail lounges, comedy venues and beautiful restaurants with modern and vibrant decors, just like the restaurant which Jillian and Gaston went into.After filling themselves with good delicacies, Jillian and Gatson went for a walk in the street. They found out that their hotel is near and that they can enjoy walking on the way to their place. As they walked, they watched how the city breathes new life into the nighttime — it glows on its boulevards, whispers on the town hall bridge, grunts in its bars, and hollers in its clubs. It was magical and at the same time lively.

    The first day of Gaston and Jillian as a couple was also their last day in Switzerland.Before going back, they wanted to attend an auction house in Bonhoms. They heard that many old items will be sold in the auction. And Gaston wanted to buy something for his father and friends.On their way to the auction, Jillian asked Gaston if she looks fine.“How is it, Gaston? Do I look okay?”Tonight, she’s wearing a red dress that suitsuits perfectly her sexy figure. Holding her hand, Gaston smiled,“You look pretty, Jillian.”Jillian blushed. She is the girlfriend of her childhood sweetheart, and now the multi-billionaire Gaston, but she was still not used to this.“You look good too,” Jillian said.Gaston chuckled. Gaston is wearing a black suit and a silver Rolex watch. He should come here with guards, but he doesn’t want to gather too much attention.“Do you have any idea which one to buy?” Jillian asked.“Not yet. If I see good stuff, then I will.”Suddenly, Jillian stopped walking. “Wa

    The auction went on. So far, Gaston hasn’t seen anything worth bringing back as gifts for his father and his friends. “I don’t think I can buy anything from here,” Gaston whispered to Jillian. “Right. What about going back to the market and looking for things to buy for Uncle and your friends?” “Sure. Let’s do that.” Gaston was certain that he would not see the good stuff in the auction. He was disappointed because he heard that this is one of the biggest auction events in the world. He was planning to leave as soon as the auction ended. However, he didn’t expect that the highlight part of the event would be the last part of the auction. “And for the last goods, we have this watch,” the auctioneer announced. Everyone looked at the watch on the screen. It has a unique design that no one has seen yet. Gaston found it interesting. “This watch was found in the tombstone of the Prince in Egypt. Ruins’ researchers found it 17 years ago. However, the mysterious history of this watc

    Gaston traveled to the Future. He could tell he was because of the surroundings around the city. There are hoverbikes flying around, which means that the government would allow hoverbikes to operate on the main roads. To move around, some buildings were connected by a skywalk. Gaston looked up and saw the huge TV screens. [“President Holland won in the election as the new President of United States of America this 2027.”] He looked at another screen. [“72% of the companies dropped traditional passwords for Biometric technology. This will give rise to new authorization services for face, voice, eye, hand, and signature identification.”] [“Genetic engineering technology grew faster than computer processing speeds. DNA sequencing technologies and advanced analytics improved agricultural production, reduced reliance on fossil fuels, and extended human life expectancy. It is a new discovery that can change the world.”] [“The Orange is on the verge of bankruptcy? Who to blame?”] T

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

    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

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.

    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
