The word ‘shock’ wasn’t enough to explain what Gaston felt when he saw Jurgen next to his father.

He broke into dry sweat and his heart pounded as he stared at his old friend.

‘I was certain I changed our fates,’ Gaston thought.

In the original event, Jurgen met John Hopkins while he was still working for the Solice family. If Gaston would kick Jurgen out of the Solice, he thought there wouldn't be a chance for him to meet his father.

But here he is, standing right next to John.

‘Why is it happening again? Why is he with him?’

Gaston was so confused.

Within that short period of time, he realized that there are some events that should take place no matter how much he tries to change it.

He didn’t know how Jurgen exactly met his father before.

‘So, even if I kicked him out, the two of them will meet. Because it was their fate.’

Gaston grasped his mistake. The answer wasn’t sending Jurgen away but to watch him over. But there’s no point regretting what he should have done.

    Jurgen entered Gaston’s room. Thankfully, there is no CCTV around his room. He held the doorknob, twisted it and went inside. Everyone was busy in the party so no one would notice that he’s loitering around Gaston’s room. Jurgen went straight to the small bathroom. “Something I can use is…” He grabbed Gaston’s toothbrush. “This.” If Jurgen wanted to pretend to be John's son, he needs evidence to prove it. The only way he could think of is having a DNA test. He placed the toothbrush inside the sealed plastic. “He would not notice that his toothbrush went missing, would he?” Jurgen thought as he tilted his head. Next, he went towards Gaston’s cabinet. He carefully looked over Gaston’s things as he did not want him to suspect that there was an intruder in his room. Not long after, Gaston saw the picture on the third cabinet. He looked at the child picture. This is Gaston’s picture from when he was young. “He is really Mr. John’s son,” Jurgen murmured. Gaston’s face and the k

    There are many couples dancing during the party. Divine’s offer to dance would not be weird. But that depends on whom she was asking. In front of her, there are two handsome men. Gaston and Griffti. Griffti is Divine’s cousin. So, there’s nothing wrong if she would ask him to dance. After all, this is Griffti’s welcome party. However, due to Griffti’s illness, he would likely decline the offer. What about Gaston? Countless parties were held in Solice mansion. But Divine and Gaston never danced together. Just what will the people think if the Chairman’s granddaughter and the secretary dance together? It will only cause strange rumors. So, when Divine said, “I am afraid I had to ask one of you for a dance,” Gaston thought that she was asking for Griffti. The two men looked at each other. They cannot let her take Griffti in the dance stage. “I cannot dance,” Griffti quickly said. Divine looked at her cousin. Then she answered, “Great. Even though this is your welcome party, I kn

    Gaston went on jail after the Chairman died and he was accused for Murder. Harold was poisoned and everyone said that Gaston was the perpetrator. Who is the real killer? And why did they frame Gaston? This is the mystery that he wanted to solve as soon as he came back in the past. There are still one month and a half before Harold would die. ‘So, what is this? The madam will frame me for poisoning her?’ he asked himself while standing in confusion. If he was fated to be framed, then the sequence and scenarios did not match. ‘It is because I changed the future. Griffti came here and we held a party for him.’ Perhaps, the events jumbled. Same things will happen but in different ways. ‘This time, it went faster.’ Gaston looked around him as he stood there while breathing heavily. He’s fighting against the time. If he cannot stop Victoria from framing him, then he would lost the chance to save Harold and himself. He prepared for this but deep inside, he’s scared. Gaston does

    “Damn it!” Victoria shouted as she slammed her table. Not only her plans to kick Gaston out of the house failed but an unexpected catastrophe happened. “Whose son is he? J-John’s son?” Victoria spit nails from her mouth. She could not believe this. In fact she’s not alone. Everyone in the party have doubts. Is it really true that Gaston, the secretary of Harold, is John’s son? Some did not buy this. But because it came from Griffti, Victoria feared it might be the truth. Questions piled up inside her head. Since when did Griffti know about this? Is that why Griffti decided to come back because he has a strong ally? Did Griffti befriend Gaston knowing that he’s a son of a billionaire? More than that, what if John finds out Victoria’s plan from Jurgen? “I need to call him,” Victoria said before her trembling hands grabbed her phone and called Jurgen. [“The number you’ve dialed is not in service. Please call again. The number you’ve dialed is not in service. Please call…”] “

    Jurgen is in trouble. Once Gaston regained his consciousness, he would tell John that he got the poisoned drink from him, and it won’t be long before they will accuse Jurgen for attempted murder! “Why did he drink it for Pete’s sake?” Jurgen complained. Not only he and Victoria failed to frame Gaston. ‘I also lose the chance to be John’s son,’ Jurgen sighed inwardly. Then, he began to wonder since when did Gaston know about his father. “Thank goodness. If Gaston knew this and I pretended as John’s missing son, then that would be a problem.” Jurgen really wanted to be John’s son to get his revenge and to see his worth. But now, all plans were wasted. Instead of stealing Gaston’s identity, he had to save himself because he knew Victoria would not. “She will only save herself, sh*t,” Jurgen uttered. He looked at the door of the VIP room where Gaston and John were staying at. ‘Before everything, I will clear my name out of this damn mess,’ Jurgen said. He took a deep breath befo

    Gaston entered the Hamington Finance Company, and he noticed that people were staring at him. He could tell why. Despite Hamington and Hopkins effort to cover the incident in the party, the rumor about him spread like a wildfire. [“The secretary of the Chairman of Hamington saved Victoria’s life during the first grandson’s party. It turned out that Secretary Gaston is the missing son of John Hopkins - the multi-billionaire man.”] Many were surprised. Who will have thought that an adopted man like Gaston is a son of a billionaire? However, there are some people who do not believe this. That includes Director Mario, who hates it when someone steps up onto the ladder before him. “Secretary Gaston!” Director Mario greeted him. Gaston stopped walking and looked at the director, who graduated from a school named “I Don’t Like Gaston’s University”. Mario isn’t the Valedictorian in that school, but he’s with high honors. “It’s a good thing that you finally recovered from the incident

Straight 3-0 against Tigre.The game hasn’t finished, but the winner was already decided. Even so, Gaston and Griffti sat in front of the television with beers in their hands.“If you can remember each games in Soccer, why don’t you try to win in Lotto?” Griffti asked to the man sitting beside him. “That is everyone’s dream if they have the chance to go back to the past.”“I am not a gambler,” Gaston answered. “How can I win if I never gamble in Lotto? I happened to like Soccer as much as you do, so I remembered which team won and which team lost.”As soon as he said that, the soccer games finished, favoring Boca Juniors.

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...

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

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!

    “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.

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
