They said he’s wasting his life for declining every blessings he encountered. But unknown to many, Cassius actually does not need to work so hard in order to feed himself.

An orphan who’s living alone in New York, that’s what everyone, who knows him, think of the young man. About his real background? No one knows. They just see him as a weird guy who is spending all of his time looking around the city and sketching big buildings.

They pitied him, thinking he has no goal in life. In Cassius simple way of living, no one will think that he is actually the grandson of a billionaire, Sorren Fabroa, the owner of Fantell Architecture Firm.

    A throbbing headache welcomed Zion in the morning when he woke up. Sitting up on the bed, he groaned, “Ahhh~ D*mn it.” He knew his alcohol limit, so he rarely gets drunk because he will stop drinking before that happens. However, made a mistake last night for drinking too much. After massaging his pulsating forehead, he looked at the blank space. ‘What happened last night?’ Zion recalled the events bit by bit inside his head; how did get home and who helped him. Soon, he shut his eyes and roughly washed his face with his dry palms. “Oh sh*t,” he cursed with a growl. In a flash, Zion remembered everything that happened, and he felt so embarrassed, he wanted to jump in a hole and stayed there for long days. He recalled not calling Harriet to pick him up from the bar, but also, he tried to kiss her. Not only that, he even told her: [“Why did you do that? You like me, right? Why are you suddenly pushing me away? You love me.”] Zion buried his head onto his palms even more, thin

    During my 18th birthday, the chairman said that he wanted to give me a grand party. Although I am adopted child whose name does not registered to the family, grandpa Sorren sees me as his own granddaughter. I told grandpa that I don’t need a grand part anymore. Because I was so sure that his real granddaughter, Madell will make a mess once she heard about this. But the chairman insisted. The preparation for the party took a bit long.

    Cassius went to sleep while thinking about Harriet, and he woke up, still having her in his mind.At first, Cassius thought Harriet has ill intention after she said that the chairman wanted Cassius to go back home.He knows that his grandfather won’t force him to come back. Sorren is aware how painful for his grandson, Cassius, to remember the past. Therefore, the old man won’t possibly force him to fly back home.So why would a mere secretary desires to have convince the second grandson of the chairman to go back?Is it because she’s blinded from power, so she wanted to use Cassius so that she can get enough cognition when he became the heir?Cassius thought it is Harriet’s intention.But his perceptions changed after hearing what Harriet said last night.[“Someone will kill your grandfather. I am not sure who, but it will happen. So I can’t trust anyone and only think of you. So Cassius. Please come back with me.”]His breathing stopped for a second when he heard about the news. The

    Harriet’s POV I felt pain all over my body. “Hmmm,” a groaned left my throat. With all my my might, I forced my eyes to opened. Darkness. I saw nothing but pitch of darkness around. I turned my head around with every deep breath I take, as I feel suffocated in a dusty place. ‘Where am I? What happened?’ I shut my eyes tightly, although another darkness awaits me if I do. Seeing nothing, I tried to calm down and recall my situation. ‘The building collapsed. I went back inside to get the document.’ The document! Where is it?! ‘Wait. I should not only think about the documents.’ “Cassius,” I mumbled. That’s right. I saw him came back inside. Before the whole building collapsed, Cassius pulled me into his arms and… ‘Oh no. What if… What if something happened to him?’ I saved a lot of people from death. I did. But because of me, someone like Cassius, who supposedly not here, got in danger. “Cassius!” I called in the middle of the dark. It is my fault. If only I did

    Cassius saw waterfall cascading over embankment. It was a fast-rising flood between house, deceptively slight at first, tugging trippingly at the feet and ankles, but quickly sucking and battering at legs, chest and shoulder. The color of his world turned brown, gray, black and white. It did not resemble in the least of the wide vast blue ocean he held dearly in his head. There are not blue-green wave cresting elegantly in the tentacles foam in the seashore, but only a massive water; dark, strange, violent without kindness, a cruel thing coming onto the land like a monster, picking its feet and charging at everyone with a roar in its throat. He could hear the disturbing sounds of crunch of squeal of wood, concrete, metal and tilled, as if a huge black of mountain water came all at once and destroyed everything; like solid gain compressor pulverizing the neighborhoods, villages and town. There was this strange sound, difficult to describe. It wasn’t the sound of the sea which will ma

I…”“Don’t bother making any excuses. It won’t work. I remembered everything.”“I k-know,” she said before she started chuckling sarcastically. “I know that you would not forgive me for fooling you. I let Harriet die. The woman you love died so I don’t expect you to understand me.”A frown appeared on his nonchalant face.Slowly, Reese crawled into him and held his hands.

Something that Zion did not imagine would happen. He and Reese made a deal. Reese promised that she will do her best to get Harriet out of the prison, and that is by confessing Astell about Harriet’s real identity. In exchange, Zion had to marry Reese even if she’s an impostor. Zion gambled his whole life just to protect Harriet. But in the end, Harriet died. Why didn’t he hear anything about this beforehand? He realized that everyone fooled him. Reese and him weren’t allied. Instead, Reese joined hands with the people around him to keep it secret that Harriet was going to die in the prison. Knowing it was late, Zion went to the prison. ‘Harriet. Harriet.’ On his way, he continued calling out to her even though he knew that an answer would not come back. He did not know the reason why.

I guessed my legs were still moving, but I couldn’t feel my toes anymore. The water snugged in around me.My limbs were willing to win this fight. But soon, they decided to rest.I took a deep breath as the water closed in around me.‘I’ll never see my father again.’‘And Cassius, he will cry if I die, right?’The light filtering down through the water mocked me. A slight pressure pushed on my chest from the inside.My clothes swirled uselessly around me, weighing down even further. A ringing filled my ears, but otherwise it’s quiet. My lungs burnt. I clamped my shut trying to kick my legs. The urge to breathe is unbearable. My chest was going to explode.‘No.No…I don’t want to die again.I didn’t come back to be in this state again.Please…’As I prayed so hard, I watche

    Cassius shoved his hand inside his pocket. He made sure that he brought the ring with him before going to Harriet’s mansion. He wanted to rent a huge place to do his proposal. But he changed his mind. If there’s one good place to do it, then it is the Wyatt’s garden. Smiling, Cassius entered the mansion. As he stepped inward, Cris, the maid, stopped when she saw him. “Sir Cassius!” she gasped. Cassius looked at the maid who called him in a surprised tone. Cris ran towards him. She was very confused. “W-Why are you here, Sir?” Cris asked. Cassius forged a cough as he shyly answered, “W-Where’s Harriet? I came here to meet her.” “Huh?” That’s weird. As far as Cris can remember, it was Cassius who texted Harriet to meet him in the Damsel park. But, here he is, looking for her. “This morning, I lost my phone. So, I was worried if Harriet was waiting for my text or call,” Cassius added. It was true that he lost his phone this morning, but he was only saying an excuse to see Harr

    Harriet couldn’t sleep well that night. She rolled onto her bed, thinking how and when would Cassius propose to her. She was very excited. “You look like you’re in a good mood,” Astell noticed while eating breakfast with his daughter. Harriet smiled at him and said, “Yes. It is because I found something that I shouldn’t see. Now, I am excited.” Astell chuckled. Despite everything that happened lately, he was glad that his daughter is feeling alright. “What is your plan today?” Astell asked. “I am going to check the new project you are working on. You told me to learn more, so I am doing my best to follow your steps, father.” “Really? I don’t want to force you to take this path. If you want something to achieve, you can have it.” “No, father. Ever since I worked as Grandpa’s secretary, I knew that I love this job. Please, let me enjoy learning from your line of work.” At first, Astell doubted if Harriet would really like to continue his journey as the owner of Wyatt corporation

    Harriet’s POV It’s been one month since that day. I would never forget the time I saw the truth in my own eyes. That moment when Zion was begging his father to come back. [“Poor child. I did my best. But I guess you are more qualified to teach him.”] Those were the murderer's last words before disappeared. All along, we suspected Sherly, Finn, Madell or Reese. In the end, we discovered that the murderer was neither of them, but residing in one of them. It was Finn’s personality, Victor. When Cassius and I arrived in the mansion to save the Chairman, we only saw Grandpa gasping for air on the floor while holding his neck, and Zion begging his father. It was quite a sight to remember; the sight where the future changed and no one died. The Chairman was taken to the hospital. Finn either, before the police took him and interrogated. When Grandpa regained his consciousness, he told us everything, from the fact that Victor killed Diana in order to protect the police. Until now, Gran

    Sorren called Finn after meeting Elona. The prosecutor was still interrogating Madell, and Reese was on the run. Yet, Sorren does not want another day regretting not knowing the truth. More than the corporation’s reputation, Sorren prioritized saving his son from the nightmare and protecting the people around him. Thus, he sat in front of Finn, with Jasmine tea settled on the center table. No one took a sip as they talked in silent arguments with their eyes. Just like in the original future. “Why did you call me? I was very busy, father. Also, it is also weird for you to look for me when I know how much you hate me.” “Why did you do that, Finn?” Sorren asked. Finn stared at his father and tilted his head. “What do you mean?” Sorren gritted his teeth as he stared at his son. “Why did you kill Diana?” Finn’s eyes widened. He lowered his head and acted, “I don’t know what you are talking about. Diana left me a long time ago. She’s not dead!” “W-What?” Then with his head ha

    A week ago, Zion met with the owner of Elona boutique. Sitting across Zion, Elona smiled. She stared at the young man who resembled his parents, the handsome Finn and the gorgeous Sherly. Then, with a grin on her lips, she said, “It seemed that everyone from that family came and visited my shop. The father, the mother and the daughter. And now, It’s you. It made me feel like I am already part of the family.” Zion observed Elona’s sneer before he mimicked her expression; the kind of beam that wouldn’t reach the eyes. “To be a real part of our family, meeting my father, mother and sister isn’t enough. There is one person you should meet,” Zion responded. “Do you mean you?” “Somehow. But there’s one more person. That’s the head of the house, my Grandpa, the Chairman of Fantell group.” Elona stopped for a moment before she chuckled. “Wait a minute. Is that a threat? Did you come here to threaten your father’s mistress?” “No. Even if you are his real mistress, I wouldn’t waste my
