A month before Gaston was sentenced to death, he heard the news that a lady named Agatha Mcguffin, who went missing for many months, was found dead in the Unision River. Agatha was Sonny’s mistress. At that time Gaston had no interest in them anymore. He was going to die anyway. But now that he came back to the past, Gaston believed that Agatha might have a clue with her. “Ahhh!” Screams broke the peace in the streets of Orlando. People swarmed, walking towards the place where they heard the shouting. “Is there a fight going on?” “Let’s see.” Many people gathered in front of Agatha’s boutique. Outside the shop, two women are fighting each other. “Ahh! Please let me go!” “How dare you?! You used my husband’s money to make this, didn’t you?!” “You are wrong! Please let go of my hair!” “And you’re even lying!” Victoria pulled Agatha’s hair and swayed her left and right. “You seduced my husband and asked him to build this shop! Didn’t you!” “Mrs. Victoria! I told you it was
“Is that really true? Did you really come back from the future?” “Yes. That’s right. I knew all of these because I saw it.” “So, in the future, you know me?” “I do. And I know what will happen to you. Agatha Mcguffin. Five months later, you will die.” Agatha was stunned. “It is your future, Miss Agatha,” Gaston explained. Agatha could not say a thing. ‘If he could really see the future, then… it might be true,’ she devated inside her head. “I was there when you met Mr. Harold Solice for the first time. I also saw the news when you went missing and were found dead on the river. So, if you want to survive and change your future, you need to listen to me.” For Agatha, time traveling is only for minds with wide imaginations. But now, someone, who looks sane, was convincing her to believe something so impossible. “I can’t believe that someone could travel miles of years, months, or seconds. I felt like I was being pranked,” Agatha uttered after a long time of being quiet. “If y
“I don’t have scented candles anymore,” Agatha said while putting fire to the candles with a lighter in her hand.Sonny was sitting on the bed, looking at her exposed back with a smile on his face.‘Even if I don’t have the Hamington, as long as I have Agatha with me, I will be fine,’ Sonny thought.“If you will go here, you should tell me so that I can prepare them. I know you haven’t been able to sleep well these past few days. Were things at work so hard?”“Hmmm. A lot,” Sonny said staring at Agatha with a grin. “Why are you looking at me like that?” Agatha asked as she leaned closer to him and put her head on his shoulder.“It is because you are so pretty.”“You really know how to swoon a lady, Mr. Solice.”Sonny stared at her and sneered. Looking at the space with narrowed eyes, he asked her, “Ahhh, do you have any idea how my wife found out that you are my woman?”At his question, Agatha thought of Gaston.But she would like to expose Gaston, as they are now allies.“I am not
“Secretary David might regain consciousness! The doctor said that he’s gettingbetter!” The news that David will soon regain his consciousness shas hook Jurgen. ‘No! If David woke up, he would tell Gaston and Mr. John the truth!’ Jurgen worried. Jurgen doesn’t want to lose John’s trust. Therefore, Jurgen thought of a plan. First, he put all the money he stole to John into his bank. Next… ‘I need to go to David.’ Jurgen went inside the hospital. He walked inside as naturally as he could until he reached the VIP room where the David resides. He found it odd that there are no guards in front of the hospital room. Yet, he only considered himself lucky. Jurgen opened the door and stepped in. Inside the room, he saw the unconscious secretary, whom he pushed down the stairway. A menacing grin spread onto Jurgen’s lips. If he wanted his plans to succeed, then Jurgen knew that he had to get rid of any possible way. And one of them is David. ‘I cannot let you live. So, you have to di
Who killed Harold Solice? Jurgen remembered a few of his memories this morning. After Harold found out that he is not the real Levi Hopkins, Jurgen poured the drugs into the Chairman’s teapot. He was supposed to use the drug to threaten Jules. But he used it to the Chairman instead. The drug would not kill the Chairman, Jurgen thought. He expected that the Chairman will be bedridden for a while. If they found the drug, Jules would be the prime suspect. But the next day, the Chairman died. Jurgen’s memories stopped at that point. But it was clear to him. ‘I accidentally killed the Chairman with the drug.’ He wasn’t sure why he saw this and why he remembered memories that didn’t happen in the present. However, now that Jurgen was caught by the police, he thought he could use this to get Gaston’s help. Jurgen was dragged into the interrogation room in the Central Investigation Department. And his crime, attempted murder. Not once, but twice. Sitting on the bolted chair, Jurge
“If you remembered the future, tell me who killed Chairman Harold.” Jurgen kept his stare on Harriet. Though he left words unspoken, his gaze did plenty of yelling. Slowly, Jurgen’s face gave it away, and the terror clawed at his expression. “Will you help me get out of here if I do?” Jurgen asked. The two of them stared at each other in silence rich things that one should say, and the other must listen to. Gradually, Jurgen detached his lips. “If I tell you what I remember, are you really going to help me? “I will wait,” Gaston replied. “You have only two days to decide.” Gaston stood up and walked towards the door. The narrowed space of the interrogation room remained silent. Gaston was about to go out when Jurgen ran toward him and knelt on his knees. “G-Gaston … I am sorry!” he begged. “I didn’t mean to push David. Please believe me! I… just… I had no choice! I am sorry for everything! I became greedy. I was blinded by jealousy and money. That’s why I did everything.
[“You framed your friend as a killer! You let me die for money and position, Jurgen.”]It only took Jurgen those words to remember what he did to Gaston in the future where he and Gaston came from.Jurgen stole his identity.Jurgen made Divine his fiancé.Jurgen let the Solice family frame Gaston.Jurgen let Gaston died.He remembered those. Now, wearing an orange jumpsuit that was made out of a rough canvas material and a pair of worn down orange Crocs that were about 3 sizes too big for her, Jurgen was brought into the prison with handcuffs around his wrists. There will be a trial but the evidence the police got was enough to put him in jail.Walking around the prison isn’t like working in a park.Jurgen heard women crying. There was a smell if hundreds of men and women in the same place with poor circulation and with any number of bodily fluids mixed with the smell of microwaved bologna.“Here. This will be your room,” the police said before he opened the jail room.There are fou
A month passed. The hoverbike track was completed. As the new Chairman of Hamington, Griffti Solice signed a contract with Hopkins to build a new project. With Gaston’s ability to know the events for the remaining five months, the Hour Investment Company invested in businesses and companies that has a 100% success rate. Jurgen was sentenced to five months in jail before the last trial. Jules was still spending his time in jail. Sonny gave up getting the Hamington. Divine was staying low after the embezzled account. Victoria signed the divorce paper and went out of the mansion. It almost seemed that everything was finished, and they had avoided their dark destinies. “Congratulations, Mr. Levi Hopkins. It was a success.” “Thank you, Prince Jabuluh. It was also an honor to work with you.” “My pleasure. I was so elated at this transaction. How did you know that the oil price will strike high? Because of your idea, my country avoided the crisis.” The other investor butted, “Not o
January 3, 2024. The World Health Organization declared that the Covid-19 pandemic, who claimed millions of lives over the past year, is no longer a global health emergency. 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?" Since the day Gaston came there,
With approximately 30.37 million km2 area, Gaston arrived at the second largest continent in the world – Africa. 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
November of 2022.Gaston came back to the present.The $30 million Gideon watch that he bought from Switzerland vanished into thin air. But Gaston didn’t regret anything. 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. Ever since you d
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
