Chapter 21 - Case closed with victory (2/2)

The R&B ceo took the contract and read it . Through reading it he realized that his company was at stake if he didn't collaborate with mr Helios's side . He glanced at Aria who made a sign with her eye telling him to look at the contract again and noticed a small piece of paper in which was written :

( if you take our side we will save you from ms Karen's threats and your company will continue the contract with your company )

He looked at Aria and the soft ,determined, kind look in her eyes made him decide to follow what was written in the card .

”I am telling you that I made a misjudgment but now I want to speak only the truth . ” said R&B's ceo .

He still twisted the story a little bit by saying that it was an office mistake . He didn't disclose the fact about ms Karen threatening him with the company's stock .

Aria noticed it but since he was taking back his accuse towards mr Helios then she decided to let it go and not pursue this any further .

She presented two other videos where ms Anna met with ms Karen in private and another one about when ms Karen was discussing with the R&B ceo about the project of collaboration between them .

” With the evidences and witness's confession , the verdict is clear . This case is closed with the victory of mr Helios . ” said the prosecutor and then took his hammer .

The noise of the hammer that collided on the prosecutor's table announced the long awaited victory on behalf of the Kastijos .

” It's all over now ! ” said mr Ben in a sad tone .

” You useless thing ! You really disappointed me , from today you are fired . ” said ms Karen infuriated by the whole situation.

”Another thing Your Honor ! ” said Aria.

”Yes miss Aria ? ” asked the prosecutor .

” My client was innocent from the start . He had to go through unnecessary court seances , mental stress and economic expenses so it is only normal to ask for a compensation from the other part . ” said Aria and fiercely looked at mr Ben .

”Yes you are right . All the unnecessary concerns that were caused deserve to be refunded . State your conditions and hand them over to party B . They have half a year time to fulfill them . With this I declare this case closed . ” said the prosecutor.

Ms Karen became ready to leave but Aria blocked her way . Bekora and Ramolo were looking at her while Ace was trying to enter the footage system of the court in order to see what happened to Aria in the toilets .

” This is the compensation ms Karen . Seven billions and full posses of the project in collaboration with the R&B company . You shall discuss the other matters with the CEO himself . Then goodbye. ” said Aria and left towards Bekora , Ramolo and Ace who were looking at her surprised .

Ms Karen , who was already enraged by how things ended went out and mr Ben followed her from behind .

”I wouldn't have come up with a better plan of compensation than this . You deserve my respect for taking the courage to go against ms Karen . ” said Bekora with a big smile .

”Me too , I think the same !” Said Ramolo .

”Thank you guys ! To me as long as you keep your promise mr Bekora then that is enough . ” said Aria with a warm smile .

” Definitely ! And please call me Bekora from now on . The mr thing makes me sound so old in comparison to you when we are nearly the same age .” said Bekora and laughed .

” Okay Bekora ! ” said Aria while laughing .

”Everyone's leaving now guys , so we better get going too . ” said Aria .

” Today we are gonna celebrate by having dinner at a high class restaurant . You two will sure come right ?! ” asked Ramolo .

” If there is cake then I am in .” said Aria with laughter.

”Me too . ” said Ace with a smile .

Bekora and Ramolo were happy to the core about how thing turned out . Ace was calm and his face showed a ' I knew it ' expression .

On the other hand Helios who was watching them through his computer breathed a sight of relief with a happy face . He noticed everyone's happy expression but when his eyes looked at Aria he noticed that she was making a forced smile . She had become even paler than before.

” Is she sick ? ” murmured Helios while looking at her .

The hall was almost empty. When the four of them were about to step out of the door Aria felt a little dizzy and then fainted.

They were walking but when they didn't see Aria they turned they heads back and saw her laying on the red carpet unconscious.

” ARIA ! ” screamed Ace .

”Aria ?! ” said Ramolo and rushed towards . Bekora too .

Helios called Bekora immediately and told him to take Aria to the Hygea hospital near there .
