Chapter 12 - Solstice meets Eula

Solstice hugs Eula Immediately and calls her sister in law.

Hi my name is Solstice I'm the twin of this blank faced with no emotions man here she points at Equinox. I am the CEO of Blackwell Security Agency Incorporated and it is so nice to meet you in person. She hugs again and shakes Eula's Hand.

My brother has loved you since childhood and he has never dated anyone or had sex as well as far as I know of he never entertained any woman in his life except me and our mom.

I am a solid fan of your work, especially the one that you painted for your mother.

What's the title again? She thinks hard about the title.

" i mitéra mou" (my mother in english) said Eula.

Eula painted her mother based on her memories there's a lot of memories that she forgot after that incident. Eula became the little mute of the family of Fleurette's. She also closed her doors to protect herself. Being young at that makes her more vulnerable to so much changes she was totally shocked. It bring so much memories and pain but Eula knows that she'll be fine

Yes, that's it. I love how you presented the background of that portrait. She's really beautiful and I'm so fascinated about how you show how much you love and miss her after that I see that painting. I called my mom immediately and said I miss her so much, I even cried a lot.

You're really a talented painter and a businesswoman, I am so happy that my brother is already trying to get in touch with you.

Eula feels awkward about how she met Solstice. But little does she know that Equinox is embarrassed to the core and wanted to hide somewhere that no one would know, he wanted to bury himself to the ground, so Eula won't look at him but he failed.

Eula wanted to tease Equinox because he blushed so much that everyone noticed it immediately. She thinks it's adorable.

Seeing how Eula wanted to tease Nox, Solstice continued to say things that should be a secret.

My brother keeps your newspaper clippings, he even has the magazines that you are featured in, and even the auctioned items you own he have a few, He said it's for charity, but he loves collecting things about you.

He really Idolized you so much.

You're his inspiration when he is studying business. Even Dad said you're much better at inspiring him than our father himself.

But he usually shy away, and never approached you closely. I'm really happy to see him make a move now.

I think my twin has grown old or should I say he matured a lot.

Equinox hears words her sister said to Eula with a second thought he grabs the grapes on the table, walks to where Solstice was located and starts to stuff it to Solstice's mouth.

I'm really sorry Solstice is just ecstatic to meet you in person Equinox said while looking at Solstice. Who started to munch at the grapes.

Claudius also knows about Equinox's Treasures that's why when they met Eula in the Hotel, he was not that surprised anymore, even Aquila as well.

Equinox loved Eula since Childhood she may not remember him but for Equinox she is the reason he moved forward to much greater heights.

She became his inspiration and goal.

That's why they know how serious he is about Eula. He waited for a long time.

Aquila, agrees in every word Solstice says he also knows how hard it was for Equinox to be quiet when Eula and Patrick Declan announce their engagement.

He remembered how Dark Equinox's expression was at that time but what he heard him saying is this as long as she was loved,happy,and well taken care of I will be fine.

He's boss' one sided love got to a conclusion at that time, but right now he was super happy when Equinox was given a chance. He will support them behind the scenes from now on.

Eula, cannot say any word. She was dumbstruck at the moment. She wanted to racked her brain for Equinox memories when they were a child, but she hardly remembered things when she was a child since the trauma has taken a toll on her memories.

She didn't know the difference between the truth and lies. So it will be hard to tell if she can remember him.

Eula, just look how close Solstice is to Equinox, they're adorable and fun to watch. She was never close to her siblings, since they think of her as a threat to their father's inheritance since she was the smartest when it comes to business and other stuff. Little did they know she studied until she hung her life into it.

She made efforts to learn everything from scratch. There are no shortcuts in achieving success, you need to work hard for it.

Her father was never her mentor; she was thankful that her mother leaves her in good people's hands; the employees and the board of directors are her mother's close friends. So when she is able to handle the company on her own she was so thankful that they treated her like a family member should be treated.

Most of the employees are from the past employees that her mother hired. So it is normal to see family groups that are still working in the company.

She remembers one staff member says that her son and daughter applied to work in Cross Pharmaceuticals Incorporated, one of the subsidiaries that Eula expanded on her own and they got accepted.

The mother was happy since the company takes care of the employees so much, and they never excluded old employees from learning new things. They are welcomed and invited to upgrade on what skills they have and want to have.

They also do not force retirement on employees, but are advised to take care of their health.Since nothing is much more important being considerate of other people's well- being for Eula.

Eula wanted her mother's hard work to pay off and acknowledge every person who was loyal and stayed through good, better, and hard times of the company and the subsidiaries as well.

She's indeed a Workaholic but she makes sure that she checks on her employees from time to time. She cared for them and their families as well.

Equinox took a glance to check on Eula's reactions; he might be so embarrassed to talk to her after this. But he saw a glimpse of Sadness, Jealousy and Happiness.

Sadness might be a sorrow for Equinox since Eula suffered so much with her father's family and losing her mother at a young age and pain being betrayed by his fiance.

Jealousy is seeing how Good is the relationship that Solstice and him shared as siblings.

But being happy he didn't understand that part. I guess the female perspective is really different from male one's Equinox just nodded unknowingly.

They stay in the hospital until it changes to night time. Both Equinox and Eula hold their own Laptops for work while Solstice and Claudius are acting like children who never get tired of being silly and enjoy annoying each other, but still make amends afterwards.

As always Aquila was the one sent to buy or order food and he did his job the best he knows that everyone was already starving by the moment he arrives, the table was flooding of different dishes for everyone's liking, even Claudius enjoyed everything as he sat on the hospital bed.We all eat and laugh at the same table, and as usual Claudius is talking to Solstice so she won't get attached to Eula.

But as the night goes by we all get tired, especially Solstice since she just traveled four days boarding on a plane and that's an opportunity for Eula and Equinox to talk.

Eula tried to start the conversation but she failed to speak, she was totally red and shy.

But Equinox is just as quiet as the moon shining above them, He started to mumble Ahmm..

I'm so sorry for my twin's activeness. We are described as the sun and moon when we are kids.

Solstice has so much light in her and she is also a person who speaks her mind at all times.

But I was described as a moon that is just calm and waiting for the sun to rise again but lights up the night sky with the stars as well said Equinox.

You don't need to be sorry for anything Nox, Actually I was so jealous of how close with Solstice and how you interact with her.

Me and my siblings are just close when I bailed them out of jail, I paid for the damages for them or in front of the cameras. Trust me I really tried to understand them but there is a limit on what I can chew or accept.

I always think if they are the same as Solstice would I feel this lonely Eula start to shed tears she just can't control them.

Equinox knows how Eula controls her real emotions since their childhood. He just hugged her and said this;

"You're a great sister you always think about their well being even if you're hurt or stressed out in the process".

I know how you care for them on the sidelines, how you still be a good sister who bailed them out because you're scared that they might be hurt by the criminals inside of the jail.

But my sweetheart you should know when to stop being so nice that I might want to build you a statue that quotes "this is the most generous and understanding sister in the world who was abused by his siblings till her last breath".

Eula knows that there should be a lenient softie part and hard one that can not be uprooted by anyone. But she is not that kind of a person that will try to change others because she gets tired of their attitude. She will let them change on their own.

But now she wants revenge under the law. It will be called justice. She wanted to move on and removed the bitterness that stayed in her heart will she be able to have that, as Eula looks at the full circle moon above their heads the sky is clear so you will really appreciate the moon there are little stars that still twinkling but she know that the stars shine right now but through the years it fades.

Like how Patricks love for her fades, remembering him makes her feel the pain of being betrayed. It is painful and she feels that she is totally blindsided by her love for him.

Is it really love or just a mere affection she has right now she doesn't know anymore.

Equinox knows that it will be bad if he declares his love for her right now, it is not the right time yet he waited for many years he can still wait a little more.

Claudius sees Equinox talking to Eula. He wanted to eavesdrop like how Solstice and Aquila are doing right now but he can't because he was stuck on his bed.

Solstice just looks at him apologetically, he sees in her eyes that you will have your own time sneaking to eavesdrop with these two starting couples.

Solstice is really a little troublemaker and has a little bit of sly attitude inside of her since their young instead of Equinox who just loved to be quite in his own world Solstice is the one who will be doing crazy stuffs at home and make sure that she might be scolded for being active.

The Blackwell twins are really night and day.

They need to say goodbye to Claudius and Aquila, they need to rest at home and the same goes with Solstice who looks a little sleepy now.

Claudius hopes that Solstice will really sleep and not cause anymore trouble for Equinox and Eula.

They need time to settle their own emotional businesses.

Equinox drives the car while Eula stays with him at the front car seat Solstice at the back with her belongings.

They see how tired she is since she really dozed off inside the car and Equinox wished that it would continue to be like that. He has doubts about Solstice doing a power nap and she will later have the energy to be active again.

But to his surprise his not right at this moment Solstice really is sleeping soundly at the back of the car and when they arrived at their destination she was still sleeping like a log.

Equinox tried to wake her up but she didn't, her twin sister is really good at timing. He still wanted to talk to Eula but was advised that it will be tomorrow since he needs to carry solstice to the room she will use while staying at Equinox House.

Solstice didn't know that Eula is staying at his house for the moment so she will be safe.

Since the incident that happened to Claudius, Equinox has become more guarded with Eula's safety.

He even added security staff at his home to make sure that nothing bad will happen with Eula while staying with him.

He also made sure that she was comfortable with everything inside or even outside of the house.

Eula appreciates Equinox even more day by day they spent together, her friends visited her as well while staying at Equinox house. She even tours them inside and outside the house.

Eula also learned and cooked new recipes to serve Equinox, because she was so thankful for him and his presence.

Eula has a few nightmares as well because of Equinox staying with her every night. She is so comfortable with Nox she hugs him until she falls asleep the comfort is beyond what any person can describe.

The sound of his heartbeat is calming and his body scent is beyond her expectations. It's alluring and heavenly.

They work together improving both of their businesses as well they just need to point out other issues inside their own companies and accepted others opinions

She was so happy to help him with his work, because she also made and tweaked some of her own company's policies and adapted other methods from Equinox.

Equinox enjoys every moment he has with Eula. He loves how she cooks for him and the other things he appreciates her telling him that this should be changed and this will be better if you do this.

He loves how she is focused on helping him when it comes to people management and others.

He loves how they talk and bond with each other to the point that he always comes home earlier than everyone expected from work just to speak with her and bond with her.

The maids inside the house also know what is the score between Eula and him, but they keep their mouth sealed since it's important to protect their own boss and the woman he loved.

Equinox successfully puts Solstice to her room where she will be staying and Nox moves as quietly as possible.

Thank heaven that Solstice is fully asleep tomorrow is the problem that he needs to solve.
