Vertex Gear | Siblings

Vertex Gear, a company that is build because of the love of the sports of the CEO, no other than Ms. Jera Everley Jupiter or simply Ms. J, it is a company that branched out already to other Districts. The company's specialty is creating safety but stylish outfits for athletes or to active people that love sports just like her. They are manufacturing sports clothes and equipment for sports, from archery, different martial arts stuff, bowling, billiards & etc. and they even have their own manufacturing for sport bikes and race cars.

Ms. J started her company when she was in 1st year college majoring in International Business she was only 18 at that time with the help of a 15 year old genius, no one knows who is this genius that she is pertaining to. Every interview she gets she mentions this person but never gives an idea if it is a she or he, a family or a friend. She said that this person helped her to invest her small money that she saved from working into a motorbike shop for half a year into the stock market and this person made it possible so that she will have the capital to start her own company.

Even though Ms. J is born into a wealthy family in District J, she decided to create a name for her own efforts that's why she moved to District A, because as a first child, Ms. J, is supposed to inherit and manage their company in District J, regardless of her being a girl. But she declined it and moved out of her father's house, even though she's only 16 at that time.

Her little brother, Denton Isaac Jupiter who is only 13 at that time, was forced to learn the way of managing the company, instead of playing and just being a boy, he is tutored by the best teacher at home. He never experienced the freedom to go to a normal school and have friends because of the responsibility that he needed to learn at the young age. Denton, can't even complain to his mom because their mom died, as soon as he was born. So, it's only him, his sister that he loves so much and his father. For Denton, his sister is also her mother figure. Even though her sister is just 3 years older than him, she took care of him well and always had his back. Every time he got scolded by their father, J is always there to take his side. But of course, J will be the number one to be upset and scold him if he did something wrong. Even though J love her brother so much he didn't spoil him.

"Big Sis, are you really leaving us?" Little D asked,.. J stop from packing her clothes and she hug her brother who is next to her and watching her.

"Little D, you know that I love you so much right?"

"Then how come you are leaving me then?"

"I just want to do things on my own, without dad dictating me what to do..."

"Can you still visit me here big sis if you move out?" Little D says this with a teary eye, he knows that no matter what he says his sister is leaving him no matter what.

"Of course! I will visit you…. I am sorry for being such a selfish sister". Denton hugged her sister back.

"I'm sure one day you will understand my decision today Little D, I mean Denton. From now on, you will be the future head of our family. So you need to be tough huh?" J continued while looking at his brother face to face and holding his cheek.

"I'll try, but you still got my back if I have to right big sis?"

"I'll always be here for you Denton, no matter what, even though we are not together, or even though we are thousand miles apart". Denton hugged her again and said "I'm gonna miss you big sis".

"Me too…" then she hugged her as tight as she could. Then Denton complains that he can't breathe from her sister's tight hug. J, left out a small laugh then released her brother from her arms.

After that Denton went outside to send off his sister, he helped her put her luggage to the trunk of the cab. Then, he hugged her sister one last time before she left. They didn't exchange anymore words at that time but you can tell by just looking at their facial expression that they will miss each other. Both of them have tears in their eyes but they are trying not to cry. He wants to beg her sister to bring him along. But he knew that without the support of their dad, his sister will have a hard time, so even though it is hard for him to let his sister go. He had no choice but to support her. Meanwhile, On the second floor window of their family area, their dad is standing there watching the siblings bidding goodbye to each other. J, tap her little bro left top shoulder twice using her left hand while facing him as a goodbye. Then she went inside the taxi and left. Denton, stayed outside for a while watching the taxi be gone in front of his eyes before going back in their mansion.

2 years later, even though she promised to visit her little brother, it never happened because of her being so busy on starting the company and on her study, but she still kept in touch by calling his brother and video chatting. She knows that his brother is now being tutor at home and he doesn't have much freedom on doing stuff that he likes, they used to do a lot of sports together growing up, that's why Denton also developed his love for sports.

One day, Denton called his sister via video call, and he deliver a news that shocked her big sis.

"Big sis, Our father is getting married on the same day of your Grand opening!"

"What? How come? Why is it so sudden? I didn't know our dad have a fiance"

"Hold on sis, one questions at a time," He teased.. "Me too big sis, it's a shocking news to me too, are you at work?"

"Yes, I am at my part time job,.. Have you seen her?" She asked while fixing paper works in her job.

"Yeah, we had dinner last night, and dad introduced me to his fiancée and his fiancée's son".

"Son? How old is she and her son?"

"Yup, he's the same age as me 15 y/o and his mom is 31 y/o".

"Dad is 48 y/o now and his fiancée is 31 hmm… interesting age gap" J said.

"Are they nice to you little D?"

"They are alright. It seems like I might get along with her son in case they really end up together… by the way, I planned on attending your business opening but now I'm in a tight position big sis".

"That's alright little D, I can manage, and I'm sure dad won't allow you anyway"

Someone knock on Denton's door, calling him for his next private lessons.

"Big sis, i gotta go. Tutors here".

"Ok little D, thanks for the updates. Love you" Denton just waved goodbye to his big sis and gave her a kiss via video call then hung up. While J, have mixed emotions on the news she got. She is happy if they will be nice to her family and Denton won't be so lonely since he will have a step bro that he will grow up with. But, she is worried if that woman really loves her dad, or just after his money. She decided to just be positive and let her dad be happy. She didn't have a high hope to get the attendance of her dad during the opening of her business. But, she is still disappointed. They knew and she invited them about it, but now she feels like, she is not even welcome to his father's upcoming wedding. Because she needs to be in her grand opening.

"What a wedding date to pick". She just shook her head and continued working.
