The Traps of Black Swan

'You can marry Vance, I promise to make you the president of Hays International. I won't let Vance act on impulse.'

Looking at the seriousness of President Hays saying it, Aarvi and Shawn looked at each other without believing their ears. 

They were truly speechless beyond words.

They couldn't understand how the old man decided that she returned to marry Vance Hays and take over Hays International.

Both blinked looking at each other and burst into rapid laughter. She came to have a serious talk and pay back the Vance family, little did they expect they were going to laugh till their stomach aches and jaws hurt.

President Hays: "..."

The one who laughed hard was Shawn while Aarvi repeatedly tried to control her laughter but failed to remember how seriously he offered her the Hays International with Vance Hays.

Aarvi asked between her laughter pressing her jaws, "Do you think I love your use for nothing grandson?" If any girl was in her place and really had fallen for Young Master Hays, Aarvi didn't think that girl would accept Vance after his deeds unless she is a brainless idiot.

President Hays: "..."

Shawn shook hands to decline her words as he reached Aarvi who was struggling to hold her laughter, "No, Little Heart. I think he thought you are like one of those female leads from the revenge story where she marries the villain for revenge but falls in love with him?"

Aarvi who had almost controlled her laughter again went for another round while Shawn sat on the arm of the armchair and mockingly laughed at the old man.

The old man couldn't hold on any longer. His bubbling anger burst and howled like a street dog hurting their ears, "Why the hell are you here if you don't want the company?"

Aarvi remarked in her mellow voice to his question "This is better." And she again laughed with Shawn to annoy the old man.

Raising his voice to frighten her? Perhaps, in his dreams.

President Hays: "..."

'Shameless.' he really wanted to shout but knew they were again going to laugh at him.

Aarvi spoke after a second, "President Hays, if I want this company, I can snatch it away. Why do you think I will sacrifice my life beyond your family?"

President Hays could clearly sense her disdain towards the Hays family. He craved to retort for it but he didn't. He wasn't a fool to retort when she came prepared.

Even though he had ulterior motives for having her in Hays family, he never supported Vance Hays to have two women or having fun with another woman. 

The day he got to know Vance ditched Ava for her best friend, how could he accept that woman as clean and innocent. Hence he never accepted her. But to keep his family name clean, he had to support his family despite his dislike towards their way.

Now he and his family are finally going to pay for everything they did. 'Snatch the company away?' he didn't find it unbelievable especially seeing Shawn sitting next to Aarvi.

'Where did it all go wrong?' He thought gazing at Aarvi. He sighed realizing he started everything. He praised her in front of his grandson who started to feel insecure and left out. Then Vance started his try to conquer Ava but failed. 

Remembering the final blow that crossed the line, President Hays spoke without thinking, "If you hadn't slapped Vance in front of all, these all wouldn't have happened in the first place."

Shawn disregarded his age and got up to punch his face grinding his teeth. If Aarvi hadn't held his hand, the old man would be lying on the floor groaning in pain.

He said through clenched teeth looking at the old man disgustingly, "If she hadn't stopped me or Dax, your grandson definitely would have handicapped that night. Respect your age if not your tongue."

Aarvi pulled him to sit and on the arm of the chair before glaring at the fuming old man, "So I am the one to blame. Why?... Because I was his fiancee?"

Since nothing is working to convince her, President Hays decided to stand head-on, "What do you want?"

Aarvi unhurriedly responded, "Payback."

'Payback?' The lines appeared on his forehead and guessed, "Do you want to ruin my grandson's wedding?"

"Heh?" Shawn rolled his eyes. 

Aarvi hadn't expected the old man to turn senile in three years. Or is she so unpredictable? Aarvi shrugged before revealing, "I am so very thankful to your grandson for absconding from the wedding. Else My life would have definitely ruined."

Does he want more slaps in the face? The old man clenched his fist tight and asked instead of guessing, "What do you want to let the company off the hook?"

Aarvi pointed to the couch for him to sit and listed the reasons she was looking for payback. 

It sounded too simple so the old man hid his cunning smile and accepted, "It will be done right in front of you."

Aarvi smiled but it was filled with malice. She turned to Shawn who continued, "Plus daily interest."

The old man's face slightly paled and stuttered, "W-what d-daily interest?"

Shawn responded while Aarvi watched the old man paling, "It's been 3 years, 3 months, 8 days. So 1194 days. Let me make a discount for you. So 1000 days. The payback is 1000 times increased."

President Hays shot up from his seat and stammered, "H-how c-could t-that b-be possible? A thousand is too much."

A thousand? of course, it's too much so Aarvi clapped her hands and stood up with a bright smile, "I knew it. So I have a different idea too."

Shawn didn't know that and started thinking about what it could be.

President Hays thought she is still soft-hearted and yammered, "Ok, ok, ok. I will go with the second one."

Shawn pitied the old man for still not understanding her. 

Aarvi happily disclosed the plan as though it was a plan to party in the night, "Since your grandson watched me bashed and shot to death, let's recreate it with me watching and he at the door of death."

Then she raised her right hand with three fingers up by folding her thumb and little finger. She took an oath like a little girl promising she won't eat more cakes, "I swear, I won't put any interest on it and you can be a spectator too."

President Hays: "..."

Shawn burst into laughter, 'My Little Heart is savage.'
