Possessive love by powerful billionaire CEO

Chapter 58 - Invitation



The morning came quickly and Helios was the first one to wake up . When he saw that everyone else was still sleeping he ordered the maids to wake them up and went towards the guest room . The guards bowed in a polite manner then opened the door .

" Everything alright ? " asked Helios .

" Yes , Your Highness ! Although with a bit of difficulty we brought miss Aria inside the room yesterday and made sure she didn't go out . We have been guarding here all night as per your orders . " said the guards proudly that they had fulfilled their task .

" Very good ! " said Helios and then the guards opened the door .

When Heios entered inside he thought of ' surprising ' her a little . Unfortunately the one who received a surprise was him when he saw that the bed was empty .

" You guys ! Come here ! " said Helios with a very angry tone .

" Yes , sir ! " said the guards .

Helios had ordered all beforehand that in front of Aria no one could address him , Mana or madam Margrethe with their royal title . This became the most gossiped topic among the servants and guards in the palace . They found it weird why the royal family had given such an order .

" Since you claim to have done great job guarding her so that she couldn't escape then why is this room empty ?! " asked Helios with a terrifying aura surrounding him .

" We don't know Your Highness ! We swear that we have been guarding all night ! We only went two minutes in the bathroom half an hour before you came , Your Highness ! During the time we were away Bob was the one who was guarding ." said the guards with their voice trembling .

" Where is he now ? " asked Helios .

" He went to the bathroom when we came back ! " said the guards kneeling and trembling .

" Where is he now ? " asked Helios whose patience was running out .

" He....." said one of the two guards and then they heard some steps . It was Bob who came back .

" Your Highness ?! " asked Bob surprised .

" Your friends said that you were guarding before they left . Tell me where is the girl that was staying in this room ? " asked Helios .

" Your Highness , I was guarding the door and Her Majesty came . She asked me who was inside and I told her it was the girl sir Bekora brought back then she ordered me to release her immediately . She said that she would talk with you personally about this . " said Bob a bit scared .

' That little tigress is getting along quite well with my grandma . The fact that grandma likes her is even more suspicious . I wonder what's going through her head . ' thought Helios and then looked at the room .

' Since she doesn't like to stay put in a nice room , next time I will lock her up in the castle's prison . ' thought Helios glancing at the room before leaving .

After confirming the situation Helios went out to the garden where he , his grandma had some pastries before . He was sure that Aria and his grandma would be eating breakfast together . When he was about to arrive at the resting place in the garden he noticed that grandma and Aria were chatting happily . Aria's smile was so warm , like the sun, and made Helios unable to shift his attention elsewhere . He walked towards them without making a noise . Madam Mrgrethe noticed that he came near but Aria didn't cause she was sitting in front of her and reading carefully a file while eating .

" Either eat or read little tigress ! " said Helios with a smirk when he saw that Aria choked .

" Cough....Cough...You ! Don't you have any job to do ?! " said Aria covering her mouth .

" When I saw that someone had released the little tigress from her cage , I worried that she would cause trouble since she doesn't know how to listen . " said Helios with a smile and grabbed a pastry from the table .

" You are really an irritating person , you know ! " said Aria with anger .

" Really ?! Everyone else thinks of me as the ' perfect ' person ever . Why are you the only one who thinks differently ? Do you have bad eyesight or psychological problems ?! " asked Helios who was enjoying himself .

" No need ! I am not the one who needs to see a doctor , you are ! How many times do you look at yourself in the mirror during the day ?! Judging from how much of a narcist you are I think that you would even kiss your own reflection . " said Aria with a calm look .

' Wow, that was a hard shot ! Hahahahaha ! ' thought madam Margarethe when looking at both of them .

" Girl , you're playing with fire so be careful ! It can be dangerous ! " said Helios a bit angry .

" Thank you for the advice but I am not afraid . When I feel that the fire becomes boring and dangerous , I will just..." said Aria and got the pot which was holding water and filled her glass .

" I will just make sure to turn it off ! " said Aria and drank the glass of water she just filled while looking at him with victorious eyes . Indeed this round was won by her .

Helios remained without words when he heard her while madam Margrethe kept laughing . Aria finished the pastry she was eating , took the file, and then got up . She thought that she would be able to concentrate better if she were in the library and away from Helios .

" Aria , take this ! " said madam Margrethe with a warm smile handing over a letter to her. When she looked at it carefully she noticed that it was an invitation to a masquerade ball .

" Madam Margrethe , this....." said Aria with a reluctant expression .

" I want you to participate in this event . The queen will organize this party for her niece's birthday . A lot of important people will attend . Do you know how hard it is to receive an invitation like this ?!" said madam Margrethe .

" Madam Margrethe , I am speechless right now . I don't know what to say ! Thank you a lot for this invitation , you must have gone through a lot to get it but I am afraid I can't accept . I don't think it's a place where I should be . I don't know anything about the way danish dishes are eaten or anything else of this sort , I also have no ball dress . Please give this to someone who is more suitable than me! " said Aria in a polite maner .

" I understand but let me tell you that the queen will also be present . Didn't you have something to ask of her ?! " said madam Margrethe with a polite smile .

Aria understood what madam Margrethe actually meant . She was clearly telling her that she could get what she wants only by meeting the queen herself . Aria thought that maybe the queen gave a hard time to madam Margrethe about this matter . To not hindrance madam Margreth she accepted the invitation . Madam Margrethe called a guard to accompany Aria to the library and a maid to help her with anything that she needed . After Aria left , madam Margrethe's nice expression changed into an angry expression that was directed towards Helios .

" What's wrong grandma ? " asked Helios while eating a cookie .

" What's wrong ?! Are you seriously asking me that ?! Don't you know what you have done ?! " said madam Margrethe angry but Helios did not care much .

" First when she came here you locked her , you threw coffee on her , you offend her and now you lock her up again ! What is wrong with you ?! You have never behaved like this before . " said madam Margrethe .

" Her childish character is really rare to see nowadays in a grown-up girl . I am just enjoying myself , like you . " said Helios with a smirk .

" I...I will tell her everything at the party . " said madam Margrethe who felt a bit responsible too .

" You know grandma , from ' that ' day I have never experienced a real childhood like other children . I never played or had fun like other children . My father is still cold towards me even though he is now recuperating . The girl I loved betrayed me and left without explaining . " said Helios with a bitter smile while remembering his childhood .

" Helios..." said madam Margrethe with sadness .

" Childhood is the most beautiful time in a person's life . A time that goes and never comes back . While they continue to grow older they become even more mature than they already were . It's nature's course but you look at her.....she has remained a child even though she has grown . I said that she is trustworthy but truth be told I don't trust her at all . Although I don't trust her , it feels nice having her around . The fact that she is naive makes her childish and when I am with her I feel like I am living a normal childhood from the begining . I am the ruthless , arrogant , prideful , powerful billionaire CEO Helios but that doesn't mean that I have no right to have some childish fun sometimes , right ?! " asked Helios while looking at the garden .

' My poor grandson ! I know you have been neglected and forced to grow earlier than others . These events made you the strong man you are now . I am very worried about you ! Your wish to seek revenge will only hurt you in the end . " said madam Margrethe looking at her handsome and powerful grandson the whom she was always proud of .
