This Time, They Paid My Father
Tom wakes in 2016 with VUV 90000 and the taste of his father’s cocoa. He knows who will win next year’s football final—and remembers the old transaction that ruined his family. This time the money, the truth and twelve adult women will make the decade very different.
About TaleZip
Returning from 2026, Tom finds his father Jon still alive and facing the crop-payment dispute that once ruined the family’s choices. With equal cofounder Rosa he builds an original chocolate brand, while remembered records help reconcile a mismatched shipment and recover Jon’s withheld payment. The precise 2017 women’s football result proves the strange return. Twelve adult women bring romance and humour; Tom ultimately chooses photographer Mele. The complete ending includes a retained export business, personal wealth, a wedding and a father whose name can finally be spoken with pride.
