Freedom Through Oblivion

Synopsis

"Mr. Rivas, Ms. Moss has sold her memories of secretly loving you to the Memory Buyback Center for 200 million dollars," Carter Reed said. He lowered his head and pushed a heavy contract toward Tobias Rivas. Tobias stubbed out his cigarette, glanced at the fingerprint on the contract, and let out a cold laugh. "200 million dollars? She made quite a profit." He added, "Tell her to sell the rest of her memories about the Rivas family too. I'll give her another 30 million dollars." He thought it was just another business deal, but he didn't notice that when Stella Moss signed the contract, the last glimmer of light in her eyes faded away. Tobias had no idea that buried in that pile of discarded data streams was a ticking time bomb that would utterly ruin him. The day Tobias finally claimed the throne as the richest man in the world, he turned around and called out her name, only to find that no one in the world even remembered who Tobias Rivas was. All his glory had become nothing but a fictional ledger, left unclaimed by anyone.
