Outside the cinema, Gaston stood while waiting. He looked at his wrist watch, wondering how long he should wait. “Gaston!” He turned his head to the side and finally, he saw the person he was waiting to come. On a cold day of spring, Jillian came to him while wearing a peach dress and black doll shoes. She wore her long hair down and painted pink lipstick on her lips. She looks very pretty today. “Did I make you wait for too long?” Jillian asked Gaston. Gaston shook his head. “It’s alright. By the way, you look good today.” “T-Thank you,” she shyly said. ‘I did my best to look good for you,’ Jillian said in her head while tucking her hair behind her ear. Her heart was beating so hard. She did not imagine that there would be a day, Gaston would ask her for a date. Yesterday, Gaston called Jillian to say that the woman who assaulted her a few days ago, was brought to prison for multiple crimes. Then, he asked her if she had time tomorrow and if she wanted to go watch a movie wi
“The reason why he broke up with my daughter, Divine. Is that you?”Victoria’s question pulled a thick blanket around the space between them.Gaston stared at her and reminisced about the days when he was still a secretary.Everyone denies that Divine and Gaston have a relationship. When they dated in the original future, Divine also asked Gaston to keep it a secret because she doesn’t want people to know that she’s dating the chairman’s secretary.It was as if being an orphan and a secretary is a sin!Yet, now he’s the heir of Hopkins corporation, people went delusional. He chose not to be with Divine this time, and yet she and her family think that they were together.‘They only know how to use someone they can benefit from.’ Gaston stared at Jillian, who looked so confused. Then after a long silence, he spoke.“Jillian is my friend.”That’s the truth. But hearing it from Gaston made Jillian feel like she was swallowing pebbles.“We came here to pick a good movie together.” The M
Gaston brought Jillian outside the Cinema to calm down. They sat on a bench, under the shade and stayed there without talking to each other. When Gaston noticed that Jillian isn’t trembling anymore, he asked, “Now, are you feeling fine?” Jillian nodded her head without looking back at him. “Are you sure that you don’t need to go to the hospital?” She shook her head. “I am not sick,” she murmured. “J-Just shocked.” Gaston recalled the man who met Victoria inside the Cinema hall. He was dying to ask Jillian about that man. But he knew he should not force him. So, he started, “Why did you get shocked? What happened?” “I… I am not sure,” Jillian said. “I was standing there, waiting for you to come back. And then, someone bumped into me. I…” She clutched her hands above her lap as she continued. “I turned around and saw him. When our eyes met, I was so surprised. As if my body was paralyzed. Then I remembered that night.” “What night?” “It was raining so hard. I am… looking fo
Gaston stared at the hoverbike track which, Griffti designed. While looking at the track, he reminisced about his conversation with Chairman Harold yesterday. [“Twenty years ago, I accidentally saw a record where your son, Sonny, was put on trial. The records are missing so I couldn’t see all the details. But I am just wondering if there will be a case when the Solice family was involved in a… murder case twenty years ago.” “How… How did you know about that?” At the Chairman’s question, Gaston figured out that something really happened in the past. “Is the Solice family was really involved in a murder case years ago?” Gaston inquired. Harold’s trembling hand put the cup back on the table. He took a deep breath and then stared at Gaston. “I don’t think I am talking about this after a long time,” Harold said with a sigh. He nodded his head and added, “Yes. My son, Sonny, was involved in a murder case before. But he wasn’t a suspect, but a witness.” ‘A witness? An evil man like
Warning: The chapter contains scenes that show illegal use of drugs. Please read at your own risk ****** **** Jules and his friends usually meet in a bar club where they will rent one VIP room. Usually, they will ask women to come into their room and take drugs with them. But this time, they didn’t ask women to come and only brought drugs. Taking a sniff on Mariju*na, Matthew, the son of a owner of Humic Electronic, stared at Jules and said, “We haven’t seen you for a long time.” Preparing the injection, Yel laughed as he said, “You didn’t know? Jules’ grandfather sent him to their vacation house as punishment.” “What the hell, you are not a kid anymore,” Lance teased. “You can only say that because you don’t know my grandpa,” Jules said. Lance offered him a sachet of drugs, but Jules declined. “I didn’t come here for that,” Jules said. “Just give me money, you damn ass. I will pay you later. Okay?” Matthew, Lance and Yel looked at each other. Actually, they also didn’t call
Victoria chased after her husband outside the police station. The Chairman already abandoned his grandson. If Sonny leaves Jules unattended, then it means Jules will be imprisoned for taking drugs. This is not his first offense, and it will be hard to get out, unless the Chairman and the Vice President help him. “Honey! Please! Don’t go!” Victoria begged. She grabbed her husband’s arm and stopped him from going. Sonny looked back with a sharp look in his eyes. “You can’t leave your son like that, Sonny. He will end up locked in there!” Sonny removed Victoria’s hand from his arm and said, “Well, I guess Jules already anticipated that before getting addicted from dr*gs. Let him get what he deserves.” “B-But what about your son’s future? Are you really going to abandon him like father?” “I don’t see a reason for me not to leave that b*stard alone.” “There is!” Victoria shouted as she pointed at the police station. “HE IS YOUR SON! HE HAS YOUR BLOOD, SONNY!” “And?” Victoria’s e
The Hamington Computer Software company was put in jeopardy because the CEO of the company was involved in drugs. Prosecutors came in and out of the company to investigate. But that is not the only problem that will come today. “Who are you?!” Jules' secretary asked the bunch of men, who came inside the company with the contract with them. “Good day. We are representatives of Hour Investment Company. Mr. Jules Solice failed to pay his loans with the given time. Therefore, as per the contract states, we will solicit Hamington Computer Software Company.” “W-What?” the secretary stuttered. “That’s impossible. Why would…” “If you are doubting, then you can check the contract as well as Mr. Jules’ signature.” The secretary grabbed the contract and read the contents. As he read it, his pupils dilated in terror. Not only did Jules agree that he would give the Hamington Computer Software Company, but he also gave his 6% shares from the corporation! This is an unfair contract, but the i
2 days ago… When Gaston was having a meal with his father, he talked about buying Hamington’s shares. “Is that true?” John asked. “Chairman Harold’s grandson was involved in drugs?” “Yes. I was trying to fix a problem with Hopkins Mall employees. There are VVIP club members who harassed the employees. It seemed my uncle, the former CEO of the Mall, let them go.” John sighed after hearing that. “It’s a good thing that I dismissed Leo from handling the Mall. Then, what happened to those members?” “I filed a lawsuit against them. But they didn’t attend the hearing. Therefore, trying to get a hold of them, we found them high on drugs with Chairman Harold’s grandson, Jules. They are friends.” “Oh no. Harold must be having a hard time.” “Yes. Because Jules didn’t only get involved with drugs, but he lost his shares from Hamington too.” “He lost shares? How?” “Mr. Edgar Himber decided to run an investment Company called ‘Hour Investment.’ He told me that Jules came to him, borrowi
