Chapter 56 - I don’t trust her (1/2)

Aria noticed that Helios was staring at her with an angry expression . She couldn't understand why he was looking at her like that when she should be the one to be angry . Aria looked away from him and went near Mana .

” Are you sure you're feeling alright now ? ” asked Aria with a smile .

” Yes , thanks to you ! ” said Mana warmly .

” As long as you're fine . ” said Aria and then turned her face towards Bekora .

” Bekora , can I ask where will I sleep tonight ? ” asked Aria .

Before Bekora could have the chance to answer Mana spoke .

” How about we chat a bit more . ” said Mana .

” Mana , you need to rest . I will be here for a few more days . Your health comes first ! ” said Aria .

” Geez , I am telling all of you that I am fine . ” said Mana a bit annoyed that they were continuing to treat her as a patient .

” Normally a person that gets kidnapped should feel scared and would require more attention . ” said Aria . That was common knowledge but it looked like it didn't apply to Mana .

” Do I look like a serious patient to you ?! ” asked Mana raising her eyebrow .

' Strange !... Finally, I found someone who's like me in this aspect . ' thought Aria and smiled with her thumb's down then both of them laughed . You could see that a new friendship was starting .

While the two of them started to chat and entered their own girlish world , Bekora noticed that Helios kept looking at her just with anger . He went near him and told him to go with him outside cause he had something to tell him . Helios went ahead and Bekora went after him . Before they left they looked at the girls who were still chatting happily and didn't realize that they were going out then left . Bekora and Helios walked a bit then they stopped .

” What did you want to talk to me about ? ” asked Helios .

” What's wrong with you ?! Why are you so angry when looking at her ?! If it's about Aria's complaints against you then I have to say that she was right . ” said Bekora with a serious expression.

” That's not it ! ” said Helios .

” Then what are you so angry about ? ” asked Bekora .

” You have noticed too ! She isn't helping us out of kindness but because she wants us to solve her financial issues . She only sticks to us with hope that she can ask us to pay for her brother's medical expenses . Greedy woman ! ” said Helios .

” So that's it ?! Helios you're being unreasonable ! True I paid for her family's trip and for the doctor's visit that she requested after finishing the case in London and even you agreed to it . Plus , she saved Mana ! Without Aria who knows what they would have done to her ! When we went to the doctor I offered to pay for the expenses ! She didn't even mention it . You're truly silly ! ” said Bekora trying to make Helios resonate .

” You're helping her and yet she calls you strangers ?! ” said Helios in a sarcastic tone .

” It's perfectly normal considering that she doesn't even know who we are ! Yet she still helps us even if it's only a work relationship . She has saved us so much trouble and still is helping . With her on our team, we can easily go against ms Karen . Aria may be very naive but when it comes to law issues she is very clever . ” said Bekora who started to feel annoyed .

” Look at how much you defend her ! You even hug her and wipe her tears , I shouldn't be surprised that you're defending her so much ! ” said Helios with a tone full of hate and jealousy .

” Helios , you're acting like a jerk ! Tell me you're problem straight cause I don't have the nerve to deal with your unreasonable anger ! ” said Bekora irritated by what he heard .

” You know better than anyone else what I have been through and yet you insist on making her part of our team . Yes , she is trustworthy but she is trustworthy based on her interest ! If one day she would have to choose between me and her family , who would she choose ?! I don't think you need me to answer , you already know the answer . If we keep her near , she becomes nothing more than a threat to us . When she knows who we really are those naive eyes of hers will be covered with greed for more . ” said Helios looking straight at his eyes .

” You mean ' us ' ?! If she were to choose between us and her family . Right ! ” said Bekor a who didn't expect this answer from him .

” Yes , us ! If we were to face an economic crisis in the future or if both we and her family are in danger ?! Who's side will she be on ?! Of course on our enemy's side to save her family . ” said Helios with a serious expression .

Bekora knew it perfectly , all the problems , arguments , pains , be it physically or psychologically . He had to endure all to become the leader he is today . An arrogant , ruthless , smart , vicious leader who has long forgotten what the words kindness and trust were , let alone love . To him love , was the final bomb he received .

” I understand ! But it's a pity to not have her on our side with her with that knowledge she has . We are in a politics law here Helios , we need her . ” said Bekora hoping to convince him .

” Precisely because she understands the law well , we are more threatened . Law and politics are the same . True she may lead us to victory but at the same time she may ruin all our hard work . ” said Helios with a serious tone .

” Still.....”
