The Traps of Black Swan

In a western restaurant,

Aarvi twirled the fork against the spoon to tangle the spaghetti as she heard Aaron ask, "Are you going to let off Chief Powell?"

Instead of eating, Aarvi fed him and asked, "Impatient?"

Aaron turned her chair towards him, then he held her chin and fed her his chicken steak. "No, I want this little brain to relax." He responded indulgently.

Aarvi chewed putting on a thinking expression before revealing, "Then, you have to wait till Chief Powell makes a move."

Aaron recalled about her plans to analyze before asking, "You are giving him emotional stress by being silent so that he runs to Leon Harmon." He had silently watched her two men molesting her and she is giving him the same treatment.

Aarvi nodded with a response, "Kind of." She wanted him to overthink, panic or try to erase any of his illegal works.

She continued after a spoon of spaghetti, "Chief Powell doesn't know how to be prepared for my attack watching the other four officers. He can't go and tell anybody easily as Ava Kelly is alive. He will be confused about what I might do to him or think when he might fall from his position. Hence each second will be like a painful stab for him."

Her words ended and he fed her. One who didn't know and couldn't see others in pain learned well how to give the pain even by being silent.

He diverted the topic to change her mood, "So what is my girlfriend planning for today's date?"

Aarvi excitedly responded to this, "We are baking cake for Dax…" Then their conversation turned to what they will do, how they will enjoy and have fun without caring how much the Mocon is in chaos causing all other cities to turn to them.

At Harmon Industries,

Sean reached half an hour later than the time he mentioned. Entering the office he started to cry his own pain at Leon, "Bro, Sara started her pester. She wants me to take her out for bloody shopping. Then she wants to wear a matching couple dress to go club. She is utterly annoying. Am I going to be her puppet now?"

Then he flopped on the couch like a person who was tired of his life. Leon caught hold of his mood and chuckled lightly, "Let me make you happy then, I got to know about your Beauty in Black."

Just as Leon expected, Sean jerked up and face instinctively filled with excitement. He skipped towards Leon Harmon as though the latter might change his decision.

"Bro, where is she? I want to see her." He demanded in eagerness.

Leon turned his laptop towards Sean seeing his exhilaration. Sean's eyes widened looking at the beauty in the wedding gown. He could feel her too young to be in a wedding gown and remembered Aarvi saying her fiance had ditched her in the wedding hence she wasn't ready to be in another relationship.

He cursed her ex-fiance thinking how could he ditch such angelic beauty. Given a chance he was ready to marry her and take her on a year-long honeymoon. Yes, he thought of a honeymoon.

Anyhow he suddenly remembered Leon's men following her to kill. He almost lost his life for pretending to be her. His heart accelerated at the thought of seeing her dead.

His fingers curled up into fists controlling himself from speaking out anything. A kind of fear… Fear of losing didn't let him reveal anything. He didn't know why he wanted to save her from his elder brother, he decided to go against Leon. He feared her life might be in danger if Leon gets to know.

Leon's lips were arcing slyly discerning Ava Kelly is the Beauty in Black and thought she turned out to be cunning to reach and even seduced his dumb little brother.

Sean sat opposite Leon and continued to watch the picture dreamily, "Bro, she is so damn cute!!" He exclaimed and probed further, "Who is she? Is she married? Is she the one who you chose for me?" He was successful in fabricating his excitement in another form.

Leon: "..."

It would have been a little easier if Sean had confirmed Ava as the Beauty in Black so that he could simplify everything. Henceforth his enemy would be only one. He wanted to believe Ava Kelly is alive but Sean's words left him more confused.

He took a few seconds to compose and asked, "You… don't know her?"

Sean didn't dare make eye contact with Leon and leave out any clue. He gazed at the picture craving to touch those pink soft cheeks as he shook his head, "Bro, give me her information, I want to see her. Please… She is so cute."

Leon blurted out without understanding why his analysis again went wrong. He didn't suspect his little brother because Ava Kelly was an innocent beauty that attracts lewd eyes easily. His younger brother is nothing but a womanizer.

"I thought she is your Beauty in Black."

Sean smirked by thinking to himself, 'She is.' but he shook his head. He started to list out the difference between the picture and Aarvi he had seen. "My Beauty in Black is beautiful, confident, mature, hot, stylish yet sensitive. This girl is too cute and innocent. I feel pity for this girl." He said promptly.

Sean chuckled thinking what if Aarvi didn't have a past and she hadn't changed. He could have easily tricked her to be his girlfriend, have her beside him like a little docile girlfriend.

Leon's endless thoughts paused hearing him. Sean exactly feels how Leon had felt for Ava Kelly, he had pitied her too. Coming to his Beauty in Black and the current version of Ava Kelly, Leon didn't know how Ava Kelly looks.

If Leon's memory serves right, Leon was expecting to see disfigured or crippled Ava Kelly. Being alive is already a big deal, he wasn't expecting to see a stunning beauty.

So are Ava Kelly and Beauty in Black are different? Leon thought but he was soon disturbed by Sean.

"Bro, I want to see this girl. Only tonight. I promise I won't create problems. Pleaseeee…" He pleaded with puppy dog eyes.

His antics didn't work on Leon. The latter didn't know anything about her, if he knew, he wouldn't let Sean play with Ava Kelly. He wasn't craving to pleasure her but torture.

"We don't know her. Our team found this picture while searching for your Beauty in Black." He lied without flinching.

Sean contemplated if he should ask him to look into her but was afraid Leon might doubt so he stood up to bid but the door flung open and Brodie Powell rushed inside.

Leon gritted his teeth. His hand itched to throw the paperweight on the man's head but controlled in front of Sean.

Chief Powell who was in uniform had easily entered the top floor and his eyes fell on the laptop screen. His hand raised at it in shock, "President Harmon…"

Leon cut in to avoid Chief Powell speaking anything in front of Sean as he slapped the screen of the laptop shut, "Champ, go and enjoy. I will see you at home." He sounded like a caring brother with a faint smile.

Sean ignored the chief and waved his hand at Leon and left.

In the office room,

'Pak.'

Leon shook his hand after striking the man's face. His face was so dark, Chief Powell didn't dare to utter a word yet he didn't know why he earned a slap.
