The Traps of Black Swan

At Burnette family textile office,

A man in his middle forties hurriedly grabbed his car key after the call ended. Even though he knew what his sister did was wrong, he couldn't leave her in the trouble and see her die. So he wanted to convince her to divorce Shane and planned to send her to a different country far away from there.

He hadn't spoken to Ava, it was true. Whenever he had been to Kelly Villa he always wondered how she must be growing as she will always be locked inside the room.

His parents and grandparents had pleaded with him to look after the baby that was born at the unfortunate time and bearing all the hatred. But he was also angry that his parents and grandparents, who didn't let Maisie abort and live her life. They had forced her into the marriage. So he paid no attention to the baby girl and cared only about his sister.

Nonetheless, he had seen Ava a few times when she was in depression when she had returned to the country after graduation and attended the success party of Kelly International, and at her canceled wedding. 

She was restricted to speak with him by Maisie yet he always saw her flash him a polite smile. One needs to have the strong resolve to keep going despite being ignored for an uncountable time. He had seen that tough resolve in her. He had heard her talk about her plan for business expansion of Kelly international, with such confidence that it gave him an urge to poach her to his mid-level company.

He accurately knew Ava wasn't the girl Maisie always described. Maisie described the girl who she had forced Ava to be. Ava had the wings to fly, unfortunately, they didn't notice it before.

Now he couldn't undo the past, so all he could do was protect his sister.

He pulled the door of his office and stumbled back unknowingly. He gulped looking at Zain Kelly who smirked, he was dangerously beautiful. People aside might swoon over him, but only the opposite one knew how sinister his gaze was.

"Uncle Burnette, long time." Zain greeted him as he went inside the office room without an invite or welcome.

If the Burnette siblings had so much love, Zain would show how malicious he could be for his sister.

Zain was actually on the way to Burnette's office when he heard on the microphone how smartly Maisie's brother wanted to save Maisie by discerning the whole situation. Even if Maisie could be saved from this hell, if Zain or Aarvi want, they could create a better hell solely for Maisie. Nonetheless, Zain didn't want to spend extra time on that woman.

Mr. Burnette knew it was about Ava Kelly, yet he tried to stall time, "Zain, I am busy right now. I will see you some other day." he turned around to rush out but heard Zain chuckle.

It wasn't a happy chuckle, it had a warning before he stopped and uttered, "Will you leave at the cost of losing everything Burnette has? Try me."

Mr. Burnette turned around with frowns. "What do you mean?" He doubted if Zain does nothing as Maisie says. For him, Zain was too smart and silent. He was like a sniper who attacks and never misses. He had seen Zain toughen up after losing his father and looked after his mother while studying.

However, he wasn't scared of Zain. Unlike his sister, his company has its own rules and regulations. Shaking him isn't difficult.

Zain crossed his legs sitting on a chair. Leaning back, she turned the chair to face the man. Of course, he knew what Mr. Burnette was thinking. But he was underestimating Aarvi who Mr. Burnette didn't know yet. "Who do you think is your new project investor?"

Mr. Burnette was about to say Skylar Investments but paused. Dax Grant was Ava Kelly's friend and the president of the company is Aarvi Evans.

"Aarvi Evans!!" He blurted out in shock. He hadn't doubted when he got a proposal from Skylar about six months ago. Now that he knows the President of the company is a woman, he over-smartly deduced it and it was accurate too.

Zain smirked. Dealing with smart people is easy. He recalled what Aarvi always said. He added another information, "Let me fill in. Half of your employees are sent by Skylar."

Zain had a cunning smile while the man's eyes widened slowly, realizing Ava Kelly aka Aarvi Evans had started to control him for more than a year. Mr. Burnette could guess Ava won't hurt him or his family as they never hurt her directly or indirectly. It was only valid unless and until he doesn't go out of his way.

Zain stretched his neck as he continued, "Mr. Burnette, did you recall most of your suppliers and retailers are under my little sister."

Hence if Aarvi takes away her support from Burnette, the company would immediately fall on the road. If a word leaks out that he offended Skylar, the employees would start looking for different jobs. 

Mr. Burnette slumped on the couch as he thought about the probability of losing everything to help his sister. He couldn't put his family at risk, even if he wanted to protect his sister.

Zain could already say Aarvi won with her years of planning. He couldn't believe one who used to believe people so easily, could read them so well that her actions brought the perfect results.

He knew who he shouldn't mess with. His Pumpkin is truly a vicious villain. Yet, he loves his little sister more than anybody in his family.

Oh, one added to his family- Aaron Rivas.

Another one will add to his family soon - Ziva.

At Morris law firm,

Aarvi was welcomed by Nikun and also Mehak. Nikun had briefed Aarvi's condition that she doesn't have a recollection of the past so he was ready to introduce Mehak as a new person but…

"Sister Mehak…" Aarvi greeted a lady who was slightly shorter than Aarvi, having a beautiful tan due to outdoor shooting as a director of movies. Her family has a filming and production house but she preferred to work in the fields instead of managing it.

Mehan and Nikun looked at each other in shock and surprise. Nikun stuttered in excitement, "You- Av- Aarvi you remember Mehak?" Nikun asked to know if she remembers Aaron too. His friend will be so happy.

Aarvi looked at the surprised couple, the first people who rooted for her and Aaron for so many years. Aarvi nodded, "The day before yesterday night I recalled everything after seeing the picture of… Ronron." 

"Ronron and Cupcake are back!" Nikun exclaimed and hugged his fiancee in excitement.

After their small celebration, Nikun realized he was at his company before he calmed down.

Aarvi broke another bomb, "We got married yesterday."

The couple gasped. Nikun tried to speak but no words came out as he cursed their location in his mind. Mehak blurted out, "That's amazing! But... What the hell are you guys doing here instead of going on a honeymoon?"

Aarvi actually hadn't thought of a honeymoon when they got married. And they weren't in the condition to go on a honeymoon right now. After the end of next week, they could go on a month-long honeymoon if Aaron could take some time.

'A month-long honeymoon!? What am I thinking?' Aarvi was about to shake off her thought, an arm wrapped around her shoulder before she was tugged aside to look at the alluring face.
