The Traps of Black Swan

Bubbling in anger like rolling boiling water, Leon's every action was speaking how he was controlling himself from acting like a mad man.

He was a trapped rat trying to escape from the cage.

Aarvi needed some more time so she was thinking to continue irritating Leon. But this time her gaze shifted to Dylan who had such a strong personality that he could hide each of his emotions too well.

There was no anger against her if he is actually supporting Leon. There was no relief or mockery if he was against Leon. There was no happiness if he had his own agenda and watched them fight.

These types of men are too scary. If one has to be afraid and be careful to face between Leon and Dylan, it's Dylan. He was the second person Aarvi fails to decipher easily.

The first one is Aaron but now, she knows his heart so she could guess many things.

Dylan is different, he is a mystery that Aarvi wants to take her time to solve without hurry. She didn't want to make any mistakes so she will test until she gets a clear picture.

Leon, who was staring at Aarvi, instantly reached for his daggers when her eyes moved away from him.

Aaron's back straightened when he was watching the show unfold leisurely sitting in the car. The distance between Leon and Aarvi wasn't too much for Roach to aim the dagger in the air if Leon throws it.

If Leon jumps on his men to reach Aarvi, then Roach is definitely going to aim for Leon's head and finish his chapter once and for all even if he has to step into the prison.

The shadow was on their toes, but they had worked under so long that each reaction was well known to them.

As soon as Leon's hand moved, they noticed Aarvi raise her hand that was holding the chocolate bar. Then it registered to them, she was holding two bars parallel to each other.

It wasn't the melting chocolate but the dark chocolate bar filled with nuts. Despite it looking like she was taking a bite, the Shadow team knew she was signaling them to stay rooted.

They became jelly in a second praying for her safety. Upon that they weren't so near to help her either.

Leon threw the dagger at the speed he fetched without delay. The sharp pointed end of the dagger shoots towards Aarvi's face.

Aaron, Roach, Dylan, Leon's car driver, and also the shadow team members had their hearts in their throats beating rapidly. They wanted nothing but to see her unscratched.

Leon was late to notice before the dagger left his hand, Aarvi had jerked aside.

Aarvi hadn't just moved her hand to stop the Shadow team but to give an illusion her hand was moving but in reality, she wanted her hand to cover her movement before she could jerk.

'Crack.' The dagger hit the chocolate bars that were in Aarvi's hand.

Leon's eyes widened. Dylan was about to breathe a sigh of relief, paused, swiftly putting on an unemotional face. Aaron leaned back on the seat while the rest were amused.

But it wasn't the end.

As soon as the dagger hit the first chocolate bar, it cut in half and decreased the speed of the dagger before it stuck between the second chocolate bar.

Aaron understood why Aarvi grabbed both the bars when she didn't eat so much.

Aarvi's eyes brushed over Dylan catching the changes, the stunt was worth it, Dylan wanted her alive but why?

It wasn't time to think that Aarvi didn't waste a second and her eyes went on the dagger with her right hand reaching the handle.

It wasn't a fancy dagger as shown in movies or read in novels. The handle was rolled in high-quality leather and the knife part was too sleek and sharp that could slice through the muscles.

Aarvi grabbed the handle and spun the dagger at Leon instead of shooting the sharp edge at him.

She was so swift that Leon needed a second to grab and realize the knife was spinning towards him.

He tried to dodge it but a piercing sharp painful sensation spread his body and a hiss left his lips.

'Crack.'

The Leon's car driver's jaw dropped when the dagger's sharp edge stuck on the front glass shield.

Leon's trembling hand touched his ear and all focused right there excluding Aarvi.

The ear was intact but there was a cut at the helix of his ear where drops of blood started dripping.

If Leon was just a little slower, all were sure his outer ear would have sliced.

He could have tried to hold the knife if it wasn't spun. He could guess she did it on purpose and her aim was too accurate right on his face, the speed was commendable.

She knew he would escape so the small cut was enough to avenge for being the target of his dagger.

Everyone's accelerated heart was cooling back when they saw Aarvi throw the dark chocolate three pieces back to back on Leon's stunning face.

The three pieces hit his forehead and Aarvi snorted, "Your dirty dagger touched them." She gave a reason why she threw the chocolate away.

She also added, "I need to sanitize my hands." She shuddered as though she had touched the filth.

'My drama queen!' Aaron thought, smiling helplessly, and noticed the trucks coming towards them.

Two trucks? Aaron didn't know the contents of it other than knowing they were coming there on Aarvi's order.

Leon couldn't believe she initiated the attack or he, the one to get hurt was him. It only meant she was prepared for his attack but he wasn't and he again gave her a chance to win on him.

Hit on the face by chocolates, his eyes glowered at Aarvi and his held breath was twitched breathing roughly.

Aarvi shrugged at his gaze, "Leon Harmon, be happy that those were chocolates."

Her words reminded him of the knife and cold ran down his spine. Before he could counter, he heard the trucks' sound and turned to it.

Just like last time, the first truck dumped ten men who rolled on the previous ones before it drove away, the next truck dumped the load on the road that created loud noises which woke the security who had dozed off.

They were about to yell at them but their eyes fell on Leon and Dylan so they cowered aside.

Leon and Dylan looked at the flattened automobile scarps of nine cars. Dylan was guessing and Leon knew they were the cars used by his men and 'Ava Kelly' returned it to him as junk and created a junkyard in front of Harmon Industries.

But a few cars and some more men were missing. He wasn't going to ask and see her laugh so he glared at her as though his eyes could cut her into millions of shards.

Deliver a spectacular present - Double check.

Ruin his level-headedness - Check.

Make him aware she isn't the same helpless Ava Kelly - Check.

Another unexpected failure of his - Check.

Aarvi flipped her hair, waved her hand at Leon, and got inside her car with a beautiful smile all along which was enough to piss him off.

Dylan and Leon both saw the shadow of a man on the shotgun seat move towards Ava Kelly and kiss her while she was driving the car reverse.

Leon felt his whole body was burning in the fire when he issued his order, "Who the f*ck was that man? Find him."

Dylan: "..."

Leon stormed inside the building kicking his men on his way.
