The Traps of Black Swan

At Morris Hotel, Coasta

Laze was tired of playing with Aarvi and fell asleep. Aarvi put Laze back on the carrier before she alighted the car and went inside. She was exhausted too, she wanted to reach Aaron, look at him and sleep in his arms.

She noticed Milo Wen standing with a faint professional smile waiting for her. He was in a blazer on his nightwear which actually surprised Aarvi. If Aaron goes out, he works overnight to solve the situation so that he could return to her soon. She had expected to see them working.

"Young Madam." Milo Wen greeted as he pointed towards the elevator for her. He handed out the keycards to the Shadow team members to rest in the different rooms as he went with Aarvi.

'Young Madam!' Aarvi's eyebrows raised before relaxing. She has to get used to her new identity.

Aarvi nodded at the Shadow team members, signaling they could rest and she would be with Aaron.

"Secretary Wen, you should have rested. You have a very long day tomorrow." Aarvi said entering the elevator. 

Milo Wen knew of her arrival as she asked him to give Aaron's room card at the reception or inform at the reception to hand her a spare card. If in case Aaron is asleep, she doesn't want to disturb him.

Milo Wen hid his smile. He was glad he and the team were going to sleep soon because of Aarvi, so going downstairs was a piece of cake. Anyway, he didn't tell Aarvi that Aaron long back knew she was coming there.

"It's my duty to serve you, Young Madam Rivas." He politely responded. He wanted to ask about the status of the drug case and the withdrawal of the client, but he controlled so that she doesn't have to stress and catch some peaceful sleep.

Aarvi nodded. She too purposefully didn't speak about the explosion investigation status. She thanked Milo Wen whose room was next to Aaron's presidential suite.

Unlocking the door, she pushed it open to see lights were still on. She went inside the narrow path, crossing the door to a small guest room of the suite. She stood watching Aaron awake, checking a file that he kept aside at the sight of her. 

To her right, there was a dining table arranged with white candles in glass holders. Under the dim lights, golden designs on candle holders enhanced the romantic vibe. Something was smelling delicious that caused her mouth to be watery and her stomach to crave for it.

She had thought it would be a surprise for Aaron, from the looks of it, he was expecting her. However, she didn't enter the living area. "Please enter the passcode to earn a hug." She teased as she carefully placed Laze's carrier bag on the dining table.

Seeing her mischief ignoring their problems, he was naturally in the best mood. He guessed the passcode as he went towards her, "I missed you, Cupcake." That was a fact. He missed her more than usual for leaving her on their marriage day.

She skipped closer to him and leaped on him. She wrapped her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist. "I missed you too, Ronron." She confessed, tightening her arms around him, finally feeling at home in his arms, relaxing her body and mind, and soothing her longing heart.

If Aaron wasn't steady, both would have fallen. Quickly supporting her in his arms, he breathed in her scent and relaxed. He couldn't believe that she chose a high-speed rail to reach him since road and air travel weren't allowed for her. 

Holding her in his arms, safe and sound in the chaos at both the company end, the problems felt easier and less worrisome. He had so much to ask about her company end, but kept it later and snuggled the cozy bun in his embrace. 

He pushed his head back when she cupped his face to look at him. She was exhausted, however, she was more than pleased to be there with him.

She was glad he wasn't angry at her arrival. She gently rubbed his temples to relieve his tightened eyebrows. Even though Aaron could solve the situation, it was still hard work due to incited workers blaming them. 

Upon all that, he was reluctant to leave her side so she hoped one of his worries by overthinking she might be hiding her dissatisfaction could be eased with her presence. 

"And the next passcode?" She probed lifting her eyebrows.

Aaron's lips threatened to arc up, accurately knowing what she was expecting as the second passcode. However, "For?"

Aarvi trailed her words, smirking teasingly, "Perhaps… A bite." She chuckled knowing he was expecting it to be a kiss.

Aaron was inarticulate. A kiss wouldn't have excited him as much as 'A bite' from her voice did. Probably he would have been satiating his wife if they were in the Mocon without these new troubles. He didn't want to keep her awake when she was already exhausted and knows she will take a minute or two to doze off if he takes her to the bed.

He shook off his thoughts when she was actually being innocent about her words. Taking a long breath, "When did you become my puppy?" He indulgently questioned, pinching her cheek. 

She happily accepted without caring she was being compared to a puppy, "I was always your little sweet puppy following you around." She was little because he was tall and she didn't have good height until she crossed 9th grade.

'Little sweet puppy? Why didn't I know she was a narcissist?' However, she was right too. She used to have a soft smile while following him around the cafe listening to his responses to her questions and doubts. She used to innocently tell him if some girls were passing comments on him but never got jealous.

He didn't want a bite so he finally responded, "I don't have a second passcode." 

He expected her to argue but she excitedly announced, "No problem, I know the passcode." She adorably cocked her head and professed, "I love you, my dear husband." Then she pecked on his cheek, bit him, and gave a loud smacking kiss before giggling.

She aimed to bite him, she had her way easily.

Aaron: "..."

He truly felt her as his little cute puppy. She loves him so she wouldn't mind showering him with all her fondness, adoration on him, and doting on him like a little wife of hers.

Yes, a little wife. Her proposal and her arrival were what made him understand that even a woman could spoil her husband. 

Probably she would have been the shy little wife if she hadn't been through so much. Sometimes he admired the changes in her, that gave her strong will and made her heart Icy cold by knowing the cruel world. She learned to express, retaliate and reject. 

However, Aaron wanted the demise of Leon for all the suffering she had been through.

The little puppy continued to prep his face adding some gentle bites. Then she hugged his neck as though trying to merge herself with him.

Aaron controlled his itching desire, crawling under his skin.
