'' Thanks to that annoying guy , I haven''t been able to sleep at all last night ! Damn him ! I am so curious that I can barely keep myself from calling him last night . Apart from that , I also couldn''t help but start imagining all the things that I would be able to do once I became a millionaire . Haaaaaaa........That''s the only medicine to relax my nerves !.... '' thought Aria while brushing her teeth .


    The beautiful benefits that came along with luxury , started to make Aria dreamy . Aden entered the bathroom and noticed that his sister has a weird smile on her face . He looked at her with a confused expression .


    " Aria ! What are you doing in the bathroom ?! Look at the time ! You are gonna be late ! " said Kejt with a serious tone .


    Kejt''s voice woke Aria up from her imagination in a second . She looked at her phone and noticed that it was late . It was almost ten am . She hurried to wipe her mouth and went to dress up .


    " I better wear something comfortable today . I may need to move a lot . " said Aria and wore a sportive costume then hurried to the table .


    " Morning Aden , dad , mom ! " said Aria and took two pieces of bread covered with jam .


    " You told me that you had a busy day today . Where are you going ? " asked Kejt .


    " I am going to work . " said Aria .


    " Dressed like that ?! " said Karl looking at her sportive outfit .


    " We have a different kind of job to do today .  " said Aria and kissed Aden on the cheek .


    She took her bag and prepared to leave , holding the two pieces of jam with her mouth .


    " What work requires you to wear so casually ?! " asked her dad .


    " I am super late guys ! I will tell you when I come back . " said Aria .


    '' Rather , I will come up with a lie . '' thought Aria with a serious expression .


    She rushed out of the door and went downstairs . The moment she arrived at the garden , she noticed Helios''s car right in front of the door .


    '' ...He''s here ! '' thought Aria a bit nervous and went to the car .


    " Morning ! " said Aria when she opened the door .


    " Morning ! " said Helios with a surprised expression when she saw her sportive outfit .


    Aria wore a white hoodie and loose black pantaloons with white trainers .


    " Why are you looking at me like that ?! " said Aria when she noticed him staring at her .


    " I don''t remember telling you that we would be going to the gym today .  " said Helios .


    " This is the way I usually dress when I am not at work . Today , I figured that I would be learning some things that , based on your personality will shock me for sure so.....in order to not feel worried , I decided to wear comfortably . "  said Aria .


    " I see ! The typical clothes a girl like you would wear .  " said Helios with half a smile .


    " The typical clothes a girl like me would wear ?! What do you mean ?! " asked Aria .


    " These clothes have the phrase '' I don''t need a man '' written all over them . " said Helios .


    " Well , it'';s indeed true that I don''t need a man for the time being . I gotta enjoy my single life for a bit more .  " said Aria with a relaxed expression and wore sunglasses too .


    '' What was I even hoping to hear from a girl like her ?! '' thought Helios with a stand-up smile and started the car .


    They were so focused on their chat that they didn''t notice Kejt looking at them from the window .


    '' Hmmm..... '' thought Kejt looking at the two of them with a doubtful expression as they left .


    He drove the car and stopped when Helios saw the traffic light was red .


    " Where are we going ? " asked Aria .


    " You will see it soon . " said Helios .


    '' Tsk ! Still not telling me ! '' thought Aria but still didn''t let it annoy her .


    helios found it weird how Aria was calm and had a smile on her face .


    " You seem happy today . " said Helios a bit curious .


    " I am happy indeed ! Mom''s nerves have calmed down and I finally am free from house chores . " said Aria .


    " No man would take a girl who hates house chores as his wife . " said Helios with a teasing smirk .


    " Very funny ! I will get a helper to help with the house chores . In our house back in Albania we always took a cleaner at least two times a month . " said Aria .


    " Wow ! That''s unexpected . You are a wealthy lady . " said Helios .


    " If I was a wealthy lady , I wouldn''t work for you boss . You can be sure about that ! " said Aria with a serious smiling expression .


    " Hmmmmm......it does make sense . Still , no offense but...how could you be able to hire a cleaner when you don''t have enough money ? " said Helios .


    " In Albania , it''s not that expensive to hire a cleaner twice a month or three times a month . " said Aria .


    " Why did you decide to leave then ? " asked Helios .


    " Good country to live in but I was looking for something more . Since my mom and I are inseparable , my family came along with me abroad . " said Aria .


    " Your mom is quite strict ! " said Helios .


    " She is a true angel if you don''t anger her . She would do everything for me and I would do everything for her .  " said Aria .


    " Are you really that close ? " asked Helios surprised he heard her .


    " Yeah ! We are really close with each other . I have also entrusted my mother with y marriage in the future . " said Aria looking at her phone .


    " You entrusted her with your marriage ?! " asked Helios shocked to the point that he even took his glasses off .


    " I am too lazy to force my brain and try to figure out what guys think . My mom is better than me in this aspect . I shall leave it to her . If she approves , then I will get ahead with the marriage . If she doesn''t then I won''t even consider it again . " said Aria .


    '' It seems like that madam Kejt is really something . To be able to hold such control on this restless little tigress.......Hmmmmmmm......It seems like it''s better to get on the madam''s good side before getting on the lady''s good side . '' thought Helios with a smirk as he looked at Aria how was focused on her phone .


    '' Who wouldn''t want their daughter to fall for someone as perfect as I ?! '' thought Helios with a smirk .


    When the car started again , Aria closed the phone and started looking at the window . She noticed that the road seemed a bit familiar , as if she had passed through it before . After two minutes , Aria noticed Helios''s luxurious villa at the end of the road .


    " This......is ?... " said Aria confused .


    " One of the main bases is located in my villa .  " said Helios .


    '' Bases ?!.....What is this guy up too ? '' thought Aria looking at the villa with a doubtful expression .


    The moment they arrived at the front door , Helios and Aria got out of the car then entered the villa .


    " The other members will be here soon . In the meantime , I will show you the base . " said Helios .


    Aria nodded her head and followed Helios quietly from behind . Helios opened a door under the stairs of the first floor and the two of them went down the dark stairs . A giant door made of metal shows at the end of the stairs , leaving Aria surprised .


    Helios looked at the scanner the door had and waited until the computer verified his iris .


    " Lord Helios ! Welcome ! " said the automatic system .


    '' Lord ?! Really ?!....This guy is such a show-off in every situation possible . '' thought Aria with a neutral expression .


    The door in front of them opened and Helios entered in . He turned his head towards Aria and noticed that she was still looking at the door with a doubtful expression .


    " Aren''t you coming in ? " asked Helios .


    '' This door.......I am feeling uneasy and a huge pressure is placed on my shoulders . I felt the same way before I entered the meeting with the queen and the ministers . The feeling of heading towards a cage that will imprison me and never allow me to leave .  If I go inside , if I take this step........there''s definitely no turning back . Should I go inside ?! Is it worth risking so much for something I don''t even know well ?!.......No ! I am sick of hearing my parents arguing all day over our financial issues , I am sick of not being able to fulfill my little brother''s needs , I am sick of not being able to help Ace to shine more than he already is.....Whatever ! I will not back down for anything ! I choose this ! Even if it''s dangerous , even if I have to tire myself out I will do it . I will not let such a chance slip through my fingers . '' thought Aria with a serious expression .


    " I definitely am ! " said Aria with a smile .
