Possessive Love By Powerful Billionaire CEO Chapter 17
Advertisement
It still took three minutes before the seance could begin . Bekora was hardly keeping himself from panicking. He started to even sweat. Just the thought of Aria not coming was stressing him out .
"Bekora you're overreacting bro ! " said Helios through the headphones that Bekora had worn . He wanted to know all that was going on and even register it so he ordered for small cameras to be put on the guard and on Bekora .
"It's easy for you to say ! You're comfortable staying in your office while I have to deal with your company problems . You owe me a prime star luxurious vacation for all this pressure ! " said Bekora anxiously .
Helios kept a cool expression but he was feeling the same way Bekora was . This seance started to sound like a bingo game where the winner can only be determined by fate .
The uneasiness didn't miss in him but he felt some kind of security when he thought of Aria . Even though he didn't believe it even himself , he trusted that Aria would arrive any time soon and this whole thing would end in their favor .
"Your honor ! We are here waiting for some time now but mr Bekora's lawyer didn't even bother to show up . This is not a fitting behavior for a lawyer ! It's useless to continue waiting, so I would suggest to continue on . " said mr Ben .
Bekora looked at mr Ben with hateful eyes . He wanted to kill him but then looked at the prosecutor . He didn't quite understand what his expression meant but he noticed that the prosecutor refused while moving his head in sign of disagreement.
"There's still three minutes ! If your lawyer doesn't show up mr Bekora then I will continue with the seance in priority to ms Karen . " said the prosecutor in a serious tone .
"Yes your honor ! " said Bekora and then looked at ms Karen with hateful eyes .
Ms Karen and mr Ben were smiling at each other with an evil grin . The situation was in their favor so it was pretty normal for them to be like that . Bekora looked at the door . The only thing he desired right now was Aria's appearance.

The silently pressure that occupied the atmosphere was interrupted again by me Ben .
" I never thought that mr Helios's choice of a lawyer would be so irresponsible . Are you sure your lawyer knows her job ?! " said mr Ben with an evil smirk .
Bekora was about to explode from anger but in that moment a voice spoke and it was Aria .
"Oh , my ! I apologize for being irresponsible but I can assure you that my I know my job quite well in comparison to others. Never judge the appearance, it may mislead you badly. " said Aria with a smirk .
Mr Ben remained without an answer and this angered him . Bekora enjoyed mr Ben's expression a lot . Then he looked at Aria . Aria winked at Bekora and headed toward her seat .
"I arrived your honor ! I am Aria Sarehan the lawyer of Kastijo corporation's CEO ." said Aria and then took her bag on the table . She opened the bag and was about to open the files .
"You are late and this is really unacceptable miss Aria . " said mr Ben the lawyer of ms Karen , Helios's aunt .
"Mr Ben ! Should I help you with a napkin so that you can clean your glasses and look at the time . If you came five minutes early then that's your issue but I came in time so I am not wrong . " said Aria and then faced the prosecutor .
The prosecutor saw Aria with doubt . She seemed too young and to be able to deal with such an important case that concerns one of the most powerful companies .
Mister Ben was ready to speak again but just one look from the prosecutor made him shut up .
"We shall begin with the first court seance between mr Helios and his aunt miss Karen . Let the trial begin . We shall start with miss Karen first . Mr Ben you have the word . " said the prosecutor and looked at Aria who was calmly watching. He liked the fact that she didn't make a fuss even thought he gave the rights to speak first to mr Ben . In stead she nodded politely and in a respectful way . Aria then seat near Bekora while mr Ben was preparing the files he would present.

"Thank god you arrived in time . Thanks . " whispered Bekora .
"Don't worry ! I told you I would be here in time . " whispered Aria .
Bekora noticed that Aria was a bit down and wanted to ask the reason why but then he thought that it would be better to talk after the trial .
"You know I am curious about one thing . Why isn't your president here but you ? Don't take me wrong but shouldn't he be more worried than you ?! " whispered Aria with disbelief.
"Hahaa...aha . That ... he had other personal jobs . " said Bekora with an awkward smile.
"Really ?! I truly cannot understand this president of yours . What could be more important than his company?! Doesn't he know the seriousness of the situation he's in ?! Plus does he think that his lovers will continue to stay by his side if he doesn't have the company ?! " said Aria with a doubt .
"Ha...ha..ha ...well . " said Bekora with a forced smile .
' You sure have guts Aria ! He didn't come here cause he didn't want his identity to be discovered by you but he can hear everything we say due to the small cameras installed in mine and the guard's jacket . He can hear and see it all . I'm afraid I cannot help you escape later . ' thought Bekora .
While the trial continued with mr Ben explaining the evidences , on the other hand Helios was watching everything through the small cameras . He listened to Aria's words and started frowning.
Behind him was Ramolo . He and Helios we're watching everything. Ramolo remained a bit surprised when hearing Aria's word and even skipped a laugh but he immediately shut when he saw Helios's scary face .
"Ramolo , can someone be stupid and intelligent at the same time ?!" asked Helios angry.
" I doubt that these two qualities can coexist at the same time . " said Ramolo while distancing himself a bit from Helios .
"Oh I can guarantee that they can coexist ! Look you have the best example right in front of your eyes ! " said Helios in a more angry tone .
"Are you talking about Aria boss ?" asked Ramolo.
"Who else can have such guts as hers ?!! I think she must have a brain malfunction that has increased her IQ and lowered her EQ . " said Helios annoyingly while watching Aria's doubtful expression.
" I am telling you Ramolo , she will be dead meet if she doesn't fix this fearless character of hers ."
'Who can be more dangerous then you ? You hardly let your sister get away with it when she talks bad about you let alone an outsider. ' thought Ramolo with a forced smile .
Ramolo laughed a little . While Helios continued to complain about Aria . It was quite amusing to watch the prince act like that . He recorded it and the sent it to Mana .
" You shouldn't be so angry boss !She kept her promise didn't she ?! I personally think she is naive that's all . Plus she doesn't know your identity . " said Ramolo in a calm tone .
" Well she had no choice but to come ! Go get the contract from the economist and bring it to me ." said Helios while looking at the screen.
Ramolo nodded in agreement and then left . Helios's sight didn't leave Aria's picture . She seemed calm and without worries . That expression could make anyone go crazy from anger . He also noticed that mr Ben had lost a bit of his composure just from this expression.
' In the end you kept your promise ! I didn't expect you to keep it . Nobody would be stupid enough as to believe that such nice people exist , nothing comes for free . The next issue is ...what will you ask in return for your help ?! ' thought Helios and smirked .

Ogre Tyrant
Tim wakes up to find he is naked and alone in a fantasy world. However, he is not as alone as he first thought. There are other people running around all over the place fighting monsters for a living. Unfortunately for Tim, he seems to be one of those monsters. Desperate for any degree of safety and normalcy he can find, Tim must tread a fine line between freedom and subservience to survive. All while trying to keep alive a trio of adventurers hellbent on becoming legends. However, unfortunately for Tim, he is not the only one from earth to awaken in this world and the other Awakened aren't nearly so benevolent. Warning: The protagonist begins the story quite cowed and meek but progresses into a more assertive and situationally dominant personality. This is partly due to growth, but also a result of the character overcoming initial shock and longstanding depression. If you think I could have handled a segment better, by all means, point it out and provide your reasoning and suggestion. Everyone's experience of depression is different, and Tim's is a close representation of my own, so it won't necessarily 'vibe' with everyone. Chapters are around 15k words and released approx 1/week over the weekend. Has been reduced to around 7.5k to 9k to better fit my schedule.[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

The Last Death Mage
Since time immemorial humanity has always feared and shunned what it didn’t understand. Over time this changed a bit to encompass things that didn’t conform to their thoughts and ideals. Due to humanity’s stubbornness with which the enforced their ideals many lives were lost and changed. When humanity first clashed with monsters and the beings that use magic, this trait caused many bloody fights. Over time the fights escalated into battles and full on war on several occasions. Humanity due to their adaptability and persistence won many of these altercations, causing huge casualties to the magical beings. Humanity did not come out unscathed however; many of the empires and civilizations noted in human history fell due to these battles and wars. Eventually over time humanity and the magical beings came to a sort of agreement. Magic and the beings associated with it faded into the background of history, being relegated to myth and legend. Humanity meanwhile advanced leaps and bounds once magic faded, leading to our current level of civilization. Not all magical beings were content with this, thus they did their own actions and killed or fed on humans. This has led to many organizations to be formed concerning this, on both the side of humanity and the side of magical beings. They regulate and control the use of magic as well as protect humanity from the darker things that are now not but myth to them, but there is a reason humanity instinctually fears the dark. Unfortunately there are always those that are unsatisfied by the status quo, and those that are prejudiced against things that are different. This is a story of a young man who wanted nothing more than to be normal. Unfortunately Fate and the world he lives in do not easily allow that this, thus his life changed, not for the better. Everyone has heard of or read stories about monsters and legends, heroes and villains, this is one such story. Hi, this is my second attempt at a story here, the first was before the major overhaul happened and i lost everything related to that story due to PC troubles. I hope you enjoy this if you dont please leave some constructive criticism in the comments. An Editor and the like will be needed, but I will edit as problems are pointed out and as i proof read. This story will have no set schedule, unless of course I decide to type up a bunch in succession then i will note that in a chapter beforehand. ADDED NOTE: most sexual content will be in Interludes or sub chapters with a .5 attached. Profanity and gore however shall be plenty in the actual story, though the descriptives for the gore may be added later. (For example, in the prologue that gave a hint at what happened to the MC, will be enhanced so that the gore invokes more descriptive/complete mental pictures, though it may wait.) ~Tyroth Gideon
