The Traps of Black Swan

'Wedding in the snow mountains!' That line caught the attention but a brief movement before Aaron went back to stare at the prettiest angel who was sitting next to him.

He soon realized his long stare was enough to make her blush and her attention was on him despite gazing at the wedding ceremony.

Aarvi felt her cheeks burning by the gaze and cupped her face to avoid getting teased but the man was displeased instantly. He locked his leg to her chair leg and pulled it near him leaving her stunned, 

'Oh god, what's wrong with him today? Why is he behaving like an infatuated teenager.' She thought as she turned to him.

Aaron didn't care about the gazes and attention he was gathering, he was more like, 'I am watching my wife.' He pulled her hand away from her cheek and clasped his fingers with hers and continued his most important task for the day. 'Savour the view of his soon-to-be the bride.' 

He had a wish for the day, to kick the bride and groom of the wedding aside and stand there with his Cupcake and take an oath.

Aarvi instinctively tried to pull her hand for no reason and her heartbeats slightly raised watching their hands on his lap. No doubt, they had held each other's hands many times but they never intertwined their fingers.

Aaron saw her amusement looking at their hands and even noticed her lips curling up but she pulled her hand off twitching his brows. He didn't want to ruin his mood for that so he was quick enough to drop it off without averting his eyes away.

Aarvi who pulled her hand away clasped her both hands together with a frown watching the gap between her palms. Aaron realized Vance never held her hands and he was just a piece of thrash who never gave her a tinge of secureness with him seeing her explore herself.

Accurately knowing what was coming next, he didn't move his hand that was in his leg. Aarvi carefully slid her fingers between his and grinned like a kid who found out new things by her own invention.

"It doesn't leave a gap." She reported her newfound innovation. Her eyes sparkled like black diamonds reflecting his silhouette, her face had bloomed like a flower waiting to be praised for its beauty.

Dax and Shawn: "..."

They wanted to pick her up and throw some strong hits on her back and tell her she was still the same innocent Ava who found everything amusing, may it be the smallest chocolate or the master chef dish, may it be a small papercraft or the great invention. This little woman finds good in every stupidest thing.

The duo also knew the credits went to the man next to her who had the whole world of patience and calmness for her. Soon enough they felt it was an excess of dog food watching them looking at each other.

Aaron tried his best to suppress but he smiled at her reaction for just holding hands. First, he corrected in his mind that if she took a step away from him she wasn't actually going back but was preparing for a long jump. For example, how she held his hand and moved to her lap, almost hugging his forearm, and watched the wedding.

His Cupcake is… a doozy. Amusing him with little silly things.

All this while nobody cared for the eyes which were on them instead of the wedding and they failed to move even when the wedding ended and all started moving to their room for a short rest time before the reception.

...

Dax, Shawn facepalmed looking at Aarvi playing with the wedding gown by twirling, jumping, running as she checked on her outfit before the duo went to their villa.

Aaron followed Aarvi to the villa failing to suppress his smile, entertained by her words, and how she disregarded everything to enjoyed in her own bright happy world.

As she spoke about the wedding dress, she stopped when they were almost at the door, "How did I look in the pictures of the wedding dress which you erased?"

Aaron noticed her sudden shift of emotions and looked very serious and expectant. Opening the villa door, he took her inside first as he promptly responded, "If you want me to compare your current style to the past…" He cupped her dainty face, and continued, "Your most precious adornment is your confidence and then, it was your innocence. Both have their own beauty, they shouldn't be compared."

'Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.' Aarvi remembered it and smiled, shaking her head resignedly. 'This man will like me even if I swim in mud water and come out.' She thought.

Aaron took a step back and held her hand and whirled her as he continued, "My love was breathtaking in her wedding gown. It's just a pity that I wasn't there to elope with the bride."

'My love' Aarvi couldn't understand why her face felt hot as soon as hearing him say it. She tried to halt but Aaron twirled her again as he spoke before hovering over her wrapping his arms around.

"If you dare to wear a wedding gown again, Aarvi Evans, I will make you change your name," Aaron said, dancing to the no music.

Aarvi raised her hand and clutched his blazer moving her head to face him, "As Aarvi Aaron Rivas?"

Aaron opened his eyes hearing her. Her mellow and curious voice clearly noted that she wasn't against the idea, instead, she was ready to change it. He still asked to confirm, "Will you change?"

Her response was instant, "Yeah…" 

Aaron couldn't believe his ears yet so he asked cutting her off, "You aren't the type to change your name due to marriage."

Aarvi raised her brows in amusement and nodded, "It's true. If everything was right, I would be President Kelly of Skylar. I wouldn't have changed my name which would be my identity to the world. I had turned down Madam Hays when she brought papers to change my name a day before the wedding."

Aaron nodded in response to indicate he was listening to her. Aarvi continued, "Now I am neither Kelly nor Evans so those names don't matter to me."

Aaron understood and smirked, an evil one, "So you gave me permission to marry you."

Aarvi gave a beautiful smile, "Only if I dare to wear a wedding gown again." She reminded him of his own line.

Aaron wanted to counter but his mobile rang diverting both of their attention. Aarvi helped him to take out the mobile from the blazer inner packet seeing him stubborn to leave her.

'Doctor Fedrick' Aarvi showed the mobile screen to him and answered before keeping it near his ear fluidly without noticing a line appear on his forehead unwrapping his arms around her.

Aarvi left the mobile when he held it and heard his serious tone to greet back, "Doctor Fedrick"

The softness on his face started to sharpen so Aarvi took a step away to let him talk and went to the bedroom.

Aaron silently heard the words from the other end as his face darkened each second tugging his lips to a cold smirk. His words sounded clear but cold as ice. The warmth in the eyes he held a few seconds back due to his Cupcake had mockery, the gentle tone was deep but the coldness could send shivers down the spine.

"And you thought I would take the responsibility for it."

Aaron entered the bedroom and pulled his laptop from his bag as he heard the other end before giving out a threat to a military doctor, "Frame me for your incompetence, we will see who will be ceased."

He hung up the call without caring about the other end trying to convince him. His left hand dialed a number as his right hand unlocked his laptop with a password.

His tone didn't change and ordered without greeting, "I need the footage of the whole activity before anybody deletes it." The ambiguous mentioning of his words was understood by the other end who responded.

Aaron's right hand didn't stop throughout the time as he typed a mail and his left hand dialed a contact again. This time, Aaron's voice wasn't cold but it didn't carry any emotions either, "Dad, fake an illness and return home."

Aaron's silent sigh hearing his father agree went unnoticed. He hummed before hanging up the call and clicking the send button on the laptop.

Aarvi who exited the bathroom, saw him on the couch so she too sat watching him, "Emergency?"

Glancing at her, Aaron's left hand caressed her head, "Five minutes…"

Aarvi obediently hummed to let him work. She casually glanced at her white gown and sighed. She wasn't getting repulsive for the white color anymore as she used to. It was like she was fine with white than the other colors. 

She knew who was the reason she was getting used to white and the man was busy on his laptop without changing his expression while checking the files.

Time ticked by, Aarvi who watched Aaron's side profile the whole time, slowly crawled on her four limbs to him and a kiss landed on his smooth cheek widening the man's eyes instantly.

Aarvi was still on her limbs when Aaron turned to face the culprit who was the reason behind his disbelief, shock, astonishment. He couldn't describe what he was feeling even though it was just a peck on the cheek.

Her expression clearly defined that she wasn't in a daze but she kissed him in a completely conscious state, 'She finally dug a hole for herself.'
