The Traps of Black Swan

Dylan Harmon's hand paused on the keyboard and mouse hearing Leon. He responded promptly understanding who is 'him.', "Nope, he is happily enjoying his life. He would have definitely reached us if he saw her alive. Shall I inform him?"

"Nope." Leon blurted in a hurry before he put on an air of nonchalance and continued to instruct, "Make sure nothing about Ava Kelly reaches his ear."

Dylan acknowledged it but he couldn't understand why he wanted to keep it away from that person and what he was planning. Anyway, he shrugged it off and continued to work.

In the Maybach,

Aaron was pinching Aarvi's cheek hearing her and Zain's conversation. She had warned him saying it's bad manners to hear others' conversation but the man turned on the speaker.

[Pumpkin, I really had thought he would ignore Chief Powell but damn, he released proof against him saying he came to ask for shelter.]

Aarvi was giggling when a pair of slender fingers pinched her cheek. Aarvi hadn't spoken about it with Aaron because it wasn't necessary. She had to turn to Aaron and press her hand on the armrest to reach her mobile in his hand.

Zain continued, "Don't you want to drag him to the media? Now we can't pull his name in."

Aarvi gave up reaching for her mobile and responded to Zain, "Nope, this plan was just to destroy the officers. I didn't want to hurt Leon with this. If not Leon, I would have put an end to Chief Powell." 

Seeing Aarvi sit without taking care of her mobile, he surprised her by handing her mobile. Then she gasped in shock when he scooped her to his arms and placed her easily on his lap.

Milo Wen instinctively turned behind hearing her gasp and the driver saw through the rearview mirror and Zain who was acknowledging her response, asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Aarvi: "..."

Does she look like a little girl? Damn, she doesn't even remember anybody ever carrying her. She always got up and walked whenever she fell.

Two men turned blind eye hiding their amazement due to their president shamelessly getting close with his girlfriend. 

Aarvi wanted to pinch him but avoided it due to the three men's attention. Aaron nonchalantly opened his laptop on her lap with an arm wrapped around her waist.

'No doubt your family calls you a stubborn mule.' She thought and responded to Zain, "Your brother-in-law loves to shock me frequently."

Zain took a few seconds before teasing her, "That kind of shock is good for health." He knew they were in the car.

Aarvi: "..."

Aaron flashed her charming smirk as he opened the Hays International project and shares information to tell her why the Hays family is afraid of him.

She turned off the speaker and was cheekily asking, "Apple Pie, how about…" But Zain cut in to avoid hearing 'sister-in-law'.

"Then why did you wait for Chief Powell to take action?"

Aarvi giggled for stopping her, "Chief Powell should understand running behind wealth and power does no good. Leon should realize I will pull his support system one by one. He will become more and more cautious and avoid his illegal works, afraid of me."

Aarvi was sure Leon would have discerned her way of playing so he had no choice but to go to the safe zone. If Leon gets caught in the women empowerment, she can't play him.

"Ugh, this is so complex." Zain sighed in worry, "Pumpkin, too much load on the brain isn't good. If you stress yourself, it will affect your health."

Aarvi snuggled Aaron as she responded, "Hence I am taking a break. Dax is scolding me for a week now. He doesn't even share the work with me. Now rest time"

After a little more talk, Aarvi placed the laptop on the armrest as she checked the documents Aaron pointed. It wasn't three months Aarvi was in comatose, Aaron acquired four companies whose projects are handled by Hays International. Aaron had bought forty percent shares which made him the largest shareholder but they were under the control of a manager.

If he withdraws everything, Hays International will not have its existence. Hays International is still surviving because Aaron let it survive. It could be trampled by Aaron any movement.

Aarvi was neither happy nor sad reading it. She didn't feel anything by it. She shut the laptop and pushed it on the seat before leaning on him, "You should have taken rest instead of wasting your time on them." She could guess he must have met them and warned hence they were afraid.

Aaron wrapped his arms seeing her gloomy for pulling more work on him. He revealed without hiding, "Actually, I wanted to destroy them… Since you had agreed to marry Vance Hays, I wanted you to wake up."

Aarvi sat straight to face him and asked in shock, "You thought I liked him?"

Aaron innocently shrugged his shoulder adding, "Because you accepted to marry at the age of twenty-one."

Aarvi pinched his cheeks without knowing what to do with him. He doubted she might like Vance Hays, yet looked after her. "When did you get to know I don't like him?"

Aaron thought back and responded holding her hands from his cheeks, "On the day you woke up and Shawn got to know you are the one I wanted to make my bride."

Aarvi patted her chest thanking the heavens that Aaron didn't think she was escaping to meet Vance Hays. Just the thought of it gave her creeps.

"Aaron Rivas, you are dumb. You could have tricked me easily and made me your wife. You missed the chance. Tsk, tsk…" She smacked his head grumpily.

Aaron: "..."

He understood she wanted him to trick her saying she forgot her memory that she is married to him. Shawn and the whole Rivas family were there to falsely vouch for it.

But little did she know she actually doesn't remember him.

He helped her to sit on the seat comfortably before responding to her line with a poke on her forehead, "Even if I get a chance to go back and reset, I will still wait for you to fall for me."

Milo Wen and the driver looked at each other in amusement.

Aarvi cupped his face and brushed her nose to his as she accepted, "I know. You don't need a cheat route." She calls his love real and pure for a reason. "I am not so good. I will trick you and hide you from everyone." She stuck her tongue out and giggled.

Aaron pecked on her nose tip, "I only need you." He smiled as he sat back to check on some files."

Milo and the driver first time witnessed the couple doing nothing but exchanging sweet nothings. It was really amusing because they always thought of them as stone-hearted beings for always being emotionless all the time.

Aaron felt hard to check on emails glancing at her cupping her face resting her elbow on the armrest facing him like a little love-struck fool. He was about to ask why was she looking like an infatuated girl but she confessed.
