The Return of Gaston Harrison Chapter 1 "The Light and Shadow"
Gaston clenched his hands as he tried to stop the tears pricking at the corner of his gray eyes. He was in denial at first, miserable for the next months, but today, he learned to bear the bitter truth. He felt melancholy every time he remembered how everyone accused him of killing the Chairman. For a hundred times, he defended himself saying that he is innocent. Yet no one takes sides with the poor secretary like him. The only thing that is left to Gaston is ACCEPTANCE. Accept that he was framed. Accept that he has no future ahead of him. And accept that today, he will die. “Jurgen, when everyone was pointing at me, calling me a killer, a murderer, a monster, I… I…” Gaston shook his head as he lowered his eyes and continued, “I thought you’d be on my side at least. But you only came today when I am about to die.” Jurgen drew a deep breath before he leaned closer to the glass window. Through the small holes in the center of the rectangular glass, Gaston heard Jurgen’s breathing
The Return of Gaston Harrison Chapter 2 "Was God Merciful?"
The time turned back. And now, Gaston faced Jurgen again. The friend who stole everything and who wished him to die for his stead. Yes, that’s Jurgen. After knowing the truth, Gaston only had this one wish. It was to punish Jurgen by all means. Yet, now that they were standing in front of each other, Gaston was in a mess. It was so difficult for him to decipher this. ‘Did I really go back to the past? Did God have mercy and give me a second chance?’ He asked these questions over and over again. Until Jurgen spoke. “Hey. Are you really okay? Why are you looking at me like that?” It was then Gaston realized that he’s been glaring at Jurgen while clenching his fists. He wanted to beat him and to slam his face. He felt so deeply mad that his throat hurts. ‘Why did you betray me? Why did you hide my identity?’ Gaston eager to ask those.Yet, he could not grasp the situation. Honestly, his mind was all over the place. “You’re being weird, dude. Anyway, just go out. Chairman wanted
The Return of Gaston Harrison Chapter 3 "Pride and Prejudice"
“Father! This is too much!” Sonny complained. “Right! W-Why are you giving that much authority to a mere secretary?” Victoria followed. “Pardon. I didn’t say that I will give the corporation to Gaston. I said, he will temporarily manage the corporation,” Harold explained. “I am not sure who is the most qualified person to own Hamington. Until then, Gaston will manage it.” “Grandpa. This is unfair,” Jules added. “Let’s say that the b*stard… I mean, that Gaston won’t inherit Hamington. Still, do you expect us to bow our heads and listen to him? My pride cannot take this.” “A perfect leader can bow his head if it means lowering prejudice and ego.Gaston worked under my care for years. To put it simple, while everyone caused troubles, Gaston and I founded Hamington. There’s no other perfect person who can guide Hamington other than him. So, I want everyone to prove me that I am wrong.” One by one, piercing gaze went to Gaston’s side. He became the public’s enemy. Well, Gaston was used
The Return of Gaston Harrison Chapter 4 "Things He Needed To Do"
“Kick him out of this house. That is my wish.” Everyone in the mansion knew that Jurgen is Gaston’s best friend. So, when Divine and Jurgen heard this from Gaston, they thought they heard him wrong. “You were joking, weren’t you?” Jurgen asked. “Did you just ask Miss Divine to fire me?” Glancing at Jurgen, Gaston replied, “You heard me right. I asked her to send you away.” “Are y-you still drunk?” Jurgen asked. “I know you are mad at me b-but this is t-too much. If you kick me out of here, where will I go?” “Why should I worry about that? You’re not a child anymore, Jurgen.” “Gaston!” Jurgen raised his voice as he could not calm down. “Why a-are you doing this? We're friends!” Friends? That was the most hilarious word for Gaston. “Please calm down,” Divine meddled. She placed her hands on Gaston’s shoulder and said, “Gaston, I don’t know why you are being like this. But Jurgen is your friend. Even if the two of you had a fight, this is not the right way to fix it.” Gaston remo
The Return of Gaston Harrison Chapter 6 "The Rude Grandson"
Jurgen went to the pub to drink. He was wearing a button up shirt and tie, which are his uniform as Chairman’s guard. Sitting alone, he grabbed his drink and jugged his beer. “W-Why… Why are you… you doing this to me, Gaston?” he talked alone. His glossy eyes which were drifting around the space blinked slowly. With his haw hanging slack, he continued. “I am your friend! Why do you have to kick me t-that way?!” he shouted before slamming the desk. Other customers in the pub looked into his way and went back to their own business. Jurgen washed his reddened face with his dry palms and messed up his brown hair. He was so confused. Last night, Gaston and him were doing fine. They even planned on camping together next week. It was Jurgen’s mistake that he told Divine about Gaston’s secret, but that is not enough for Gaston to kick him out of the mansion. “N-Now… what will I do?” Jurgen sobbed, crying with sarcastic smiles. He spent all of his money investing in a small business and
The Return of Gaston Harrison Chapter 7 "The Reason to Meet You"

The Return of Gaston Harrison Chapter 8 "Foreseeing Future"
“Your Grandfather will die.” Griffti held his breath for a second. There was a gnawing silence between him and Gaston. And even if there were sounds of wind gushing and murmuring words, they were muted down. The two of them looked at each other for long seconds, until Griffti detached his lips. “Is he… sick?” “No,” Gaston replied. “If he’s not sick, then why are you telling me that he’s going to die?” Because Gaston came from the future. It was hard to find evidence of a murder that hadn’t happened yet. Therefore, telling Griffti that he came from the future is the only explanation Gaston has as of now. But will Griffti believe him? Gaston took a deep breath. His secret is not something that is easy to share. Not candy, juice or chips which are easy to digest. Anyone who hears this might think that he’s losing his mind. ‘However, the time limit is short,’ Gaston thought. He gathered his courage and opened his lips again. Then he said, “There is someone aiming for the Chairm
The Return of Gaston Harrison Chapter 9 "The Enemy's Weird Suggestion"
Walking in the Time Square in New York, Gaston saw many hotels and theaters. Despite the street’s large size, it was crowded with cars and people. Gaston really felt the fast life in this place, which was famous as the City that never sleeps. When he looked up, he saw signboards that advertise products and a TV screen which showed news about the recent Championship in the Fifa World Cup. As he looked down, the people who were walking with him on the pedestrian lane were browsing on their phones and reading news about Messi’s retirement. Not everyone was interested in the World Cup. But the majority were. ‘That’s why he has no choice but to believe in me,’ Gaston thought. This early morning, he received a text from the Chairman’s first grandson. Griffti asked Gaston to meet him today and sent the location too. Gaston agreed. But before that, Gaston needs to go somewhere first. It’s almost a week, yet he hasn’t found his father, John Hopkins. He went to John’s favorite restaurant

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,

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

“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.
