The Traps of Black Swan

Aarvi glanced at Aaron who looked indifferent but his eyes were saying different, "Go to your friends. Don't make them uncomfortable here."

Aaron didn't respond, instead leaned his head on the cupboard and looked at her with such an intense gaze, Aarvi wanted to avoid it and focus on preparing juice.

Turning away, "Go…" She paused realizing she bluntly said she will love him no matter what. She bit her tongue blaming Aaron for making her speak all those words.

Yeah, according to Aarvi, it's Aaron's mistake for every sweet nothing coming out of her lips.

She quickly recovered and stood nonchalantly but he had already got the reaction he was waiting for. He so wanted to tease her but hearing the voices nearing towards the kitchen, he grasped her in a quick move and whispered in her ear.

"I will soon devour My Lioness." His deep sexy voice tickled her ear and he left the kitchen after giving a quick and lingering kiss on her lips.

Aarvi had an amused smile behind him before a pout formed and then chuckled to herself.

More than the past, the present is important. More than the dreams of her and the teenager, her health is important. Probably she would have searched for the teenager if Aaron wasn't in her life, hence nothing felt significant against him.

So she decided never to fret over it instead just smile at those sweet dreams and spend time with Aaron.

In the living hall, Shea and Nikun chuckled when Aaron exited with a poker face. Sitting next to Aaron, Shea tried to get some juicy details, "Brother Aaron, tell me how did your Cupcake again fall in love with you? Did you use your face or body? Let me guess…"

Nikun added before the duo could answer, "He must have used cupcakes to have his Cupcake." Shea chuckled with her cousin as they high-fived.

Just then, Aarvi's excited voice sounded as she stood at the entry of the kitchen holding a cupcake, "Aaron, did you bake the cupcakes before picking me up?"

Aaron: "..."

Shea and Nikun looked at each other and burst into laughter.

Aarvi: "..."

She had forgotten about them after seeing the cupcakes. She turned around and rushed inside thinking she must have looked childish without knowing they were laughing at Aaron.

She was checking cupboards for some snacks when she found the cupcakes. Whatever, she got her cupcakes, that's all that mattered.

Trying one, she hummed confirming it's baked by him before taking the kitchen trolley out.

The duo who had stopped laughing after a piercing glare saw Aarvi entering inside with a complete composition. She had looked too cute to believe when she had stood holding the cupcakes, now her graceful movements spoke of her elegance.

Shea, who had seen Aarvi with the blazer on her shoulder, exclaimed next to Aaron seeing her in a black off-shoulder dress., "Your Cupcake is heavenly. Your all cute and pretty words are so underestimating."

Her eyes suddenly twinkled when she caught the sight of a bright red mark and giggled in the lowest voice, "Brother Aaron, your Cupcake is indeed naive and cute. She forgot about her hickey." Then she quickly ran over to Aarvi and took control of the kitchen trolley.

"Sister-in-law, you can address me, Shea, no need to be so formal." Shea probed with a smile before Aarvi could say 'Doctor Morris.'

Aarvi returned the faint smile as she added, "You can call me by name, I don't think I am so much older than you."

Shea, who knew her brother's preference, passed him black coffee that was on the upper rack while Aarvi served juice to Aaron. "I am just a year younger than you. Since we might bump into each other often, I will call you Aarvi."

Aarvi passed her the glass of juice and naturally sat next to Aaron who brushed the cupcake crumbs from the side of her lips seeing her embarrassed face as he pulled some hair locks to cover her neck.

Anyway, she grabbed a cupcake from the second rack of the trolley ignoring the other's silent chuckle.

Shea requested after making herself comfortable, "Brother Aaron, I checked out there are two penthouses on this block. May I have the next one, please? I loved this place and it's not far from the hospital and closest to the city center."

Aaron, who was seeing Aarvi enjoy the cupcake, turned to Shea. Aarvi didn't bother responding so Aaron plainly responded, "Then you need to marry my brother."

Aarvi choked on her cupcake and started coughing. She couldn't believe Aaron joked with such a straight face and that too about Shawn. She felt bad for Shawn who was in search of his love.

Aaron patted her back and helped her drink juice instead of water while Nikun and Shea were speechless.

Silently Shea bid goodbye to the penthouse understanding Aaron's cousin brother stays in the next penthouse. "There can never be Aaron Rivas II, so I will die alone." She had no plans to date and settle so soon. She still wanted to study and focus on her training.

Her mother was worried about her staying alone in a different country so she chose Rivas hospital for training and planned to join the medical college in the Mocon.

It wasn't the only reason, she heard the young renowned neurologist is working in the Rivas Hospitals so she wanted to work under that doctor.

Nikun asked, rolling his eyes, "The businessmen build an apartment to sell the penthouse at the highest cost, and here you are keeping the best penthouses for yourself. Such a loss."

'Wait... What?' Aarvi looked at the brother and sister. She was expecting something spicy after Aaron's dialogue but they feigned ignorance.

Imagining Shawn and Shea next to each other, she really did like them together. A thought struck her mind, should she create an encounter between Shawn and Shea to see if something is possible between them?

She silently giggled to herself enjoying the cupcake while Aaron responded to Nikun, "Well, one penthouse was bought by the co-owner of Highland bar and restaurant and another one by the President of Skylar Industries. I never deal with the losses." His smug tone left Nikun speechless.

'Pfft' Shea who was drinking the juice spat out a mouthful in disbelief.

She knows the famous Highland Bar and restaurant owner is Shawn Rivas and his friend. Since Shawn couldn't be the President of Skylar, she pointed at Aarvi who was harmlessly sitting and enjoying her second cupcake, "A-Aarvi is the mysterious President who is making my elder brother go insane." She looked at Aarvi in awe.

Aarvi innocently blinked looking at Shea and Nikun. She didn't know keeping the identity of Skylar Industries' President had so much impact. Nikun had reacted almost the same way but he hadn't let any words out.

Nikun smacked his sister who could sometimes be most unladylike. Keeping his coffee cup away, he took tissues and helped her clean her dress while she digested the president of Skylar isn't any old geezer but a young lady, Aaron's Cupcake.

Then Shea told Aarvi how her elder brother racked his brain to please Skylar or get Dax to Morris Industries which slowly relaxed the air.

Aarvi revealed why they couldn't poach Dax, "Dax is my best friend and the second-largest shareholder of Skylar."

Shea nodded in understanding. She had heard her brother and uncle talking that Dax Grant had passed top foreign companies' interviews but he had rejected those to work at Skylar Industries. "No doubt everyone fails to poach him."

After a few general topics, Nikun asked in curiosity, "What happened to Naomi? What did you do, Aarvi?"

Aaron held her ear saying, "Aarvi was too soft on her."

Aarvi pouted at him before countering grumpily, "I have my reasons to go easy on her."

'Reason?' That piqued both Nikun's interest and he asked, "And it is?"

Aarvi glanced at Aaron who was adamant about keeping Naomi in the prison, so she decided to tell why she didn't want Naomi to be severely punished and always let go of her silliness.
