1 Chapter 1: The Twin of Fate

Leo and Helios look into each others eyes. The two could be seen as the same, while at the same time they are both so different like black and white.

Born at the same day, date and time, their birth took the life of their mother. They know that their birth was not their sin, but they also live while looking into the eyes of their father, which might said otherwise.

Their father, Arthur Eden, was the last heir of the Eden family, that has lasted for more then two thousand years. After the death of their grandparents, Arthur liquidated all of the Eden's holdings and invested in an energy and a construction company, which both valued at a billion dollar each by the time Arthur handed one to each of Leo and Helios.

The success of Arthur has a lot to do with their deceased mother, Lisa. A holder of triple Doctorate for Economic, Finance and Politics. Lisa and Arthur met under the most improbable circumstances.

Under the tree, a mile away from the funeral of Arthur's father, Benjamin. Arthur, at the age of 20 years old, a real human waste that only know how to eat, drink and party, become alone in this world. He was under the tree because he ran away from the funeral.

He felt fear for the future the first time in his life. He knows nothing of inheritance law, and there are flood of people trying to take advantage of this seemingly stupid heir of the Eden family. Arthur might not be the brightest of a person, but mixing around with bad companies all the years he spend gallivanting make him sensitive to people's motive. He know he is definitely the very definition of the lamb fat enough to be slaughtered. Therefore he ran.

Unknown to Arthur, under the same tree sat Lisa. People call her genius, beautiful butterfly and all sort of endearing nickname, but at the same time only looking to make her their tool to make them rich. A triple doctorate holder of Economic, Finance and Politic, any one of her opinion might be the very pot of gold to the one that heard it. She was also there because she ran.

After finishing her doctorate, Lisa was going to find work in her hometown. The Eden Town is the very definition of beautiful, but under all of the scenic view is the worst kind of place to find work. Honest businesses cannot take her in because she is overqualified. Dishonest businesses really just trying to kidnap her to pick her brain. She felt threatened and scared, therefore she ran.

Two people that ran away from reality, a 20 years old handsome but stupid heir, and a 24 years old beautiful genius locked gaze under the tree. While panting heavily. There was an awkward silence, heavy breathing for the first few seconds they locked gaze. And then they laugh. They laugh so loud that several people walking few hundred metres from them heard it. Nobody know what else happen under that tree as that was all the details described by Arthur in his diary.

But from then, Lisa and Arthur are together. They got married a month after their meeting and Arthur is a billionaire at 25. At thirty, he welcome the birth of the twins and the departure of his wife. He never married again to solely take care of the twins.

At fifty, Arthur gave his two sons, that was now twenty years old, a company each. His only two company that he has. He felt no remorse, only longing. Leo was given the energy company while Helios was given the construction company. His only advise to the twin is that one have to look into the future, while having a firm foot on the ground. Arthur breath his last two months after handing the companies to his twin sons, smiling as if he has done a good job for the entirety of his life. Never wanting to know what his sons thought of him.

Leo and Helios Eden was still in the same position. The memories of their late father that plays when they stared in each others eyes seems to play to both of them. The mystical connection between the twin.

They are now old. Seventy years old and the only two people that have the family name Eden. Both never get married. But have never met since their father's funeral. Two old men that look the same but could never be more different. Underworld Dark Lord Helios, and the Bilionaire philanthropist Leo.

"It has been a long time" said Helios.

"the time that we now do not have" replied Leo.

Both could sense their death is near, therefore their last wish was to meet the other. They met, locked gaze, and said a meaningless sentence each. And under a tree in the sleepy town of Eden, two world renown figures died while sitting. Surrounded by their bodyguards. Both died peacefully, but the world after their death was nothing but peaceful.
