The Traps of Black Swan

Aarvi was aware of how Aaron and others were trying to have patience just because she wanted to handle Leon. She knew that too well than anybody else.

But what will they do? Beat Leon? Was that enough? Or kill Leon? Then what would be the difference between Leon and them?

She wasn't killing Leon, doesn't mean that she was going to let him live peacefully. That doesn't mean she would watch if Leon goes out of control. If his actions threaten anyone's life around her, she would be the first one to get her hands coated in his blood.

Whatever she would do, she was going to make sure, Leon craves to die yet hard to die. She won't give him a chance of redemption by escaping anywhere. She will make his life a living hell while he will curse her day and night when she will live peacefully.

If whatever she does, fails to cool down her husband or brother or friends, she will let them have their way. Until that, Leon was only her prey.

Louis Father and son could already guess Aarvi owned a cat. Hence Gavriel asked Zain to confirm as neither Gavriel nor his father expected Aarvi to show such a strong reaction, "Is it sister-in-law's cat?"

Zain frowned hard before holding his composure completely. It wasn't he doesn't trust Aarvi's plans. Leon was infuriating him repeatedly. Zain shook his head at Gavriel as he turned around. "Nope. Her Laze is something similar." 

Zain had never seen such a well-behaved cat-like Laze. He couldn't imagine how Aarvi would have reacted if the black cat was really her Laze. He wouldn't have been surprised if she had slit Leon's throat in front of everyone.

Gavriel nodded, unknown who could have pulled that sick trick on Aarvi whereas Major Louis could already guess the person.

Aarvi and Aaron too knew it wasn't her Laze. Laze was a short-haired oriental breed whereas Leon had chosen a black cat of a different breed that was hairy. He must have probably chosen the black cat as she always wears black.

Aarvi's mobile beeped in Aaron's pocket. Aarvi fetched it herself as she heard her team speak, "Boss, we have sent the picture of the man who sent the parcel. It's difficult to prove if he's Leon Harmon's man."

The Shadow team two members came and reported to Aarvi as she stood next to Aaron, "Ms. Evans, the delivery man or the manager has no idea about the content. The sender has given a fake number at the courier center."

Unsurprised, Aarvi nodded. Leon knows to conceal his path so it wasn't odd. She wasn't ready to let go of Leon just for that. Before anybody could even think of anything, Aarvi instructed, "Get a paparazzi inside in a waiter uniform." 

The men: "..."

The Shadow team was used to her quick reflexes. "Roger that." The duo nodded and ran quickly to arrange everything without a delay. 

Aarvi turned to the manager who was drenched in a cold sweat. The manager had decided he should request the management to get the smart screening machine to scan the contents of the luggage and boxes instead of metal detectors.

"Take me to Chairman Harmon's room." Aarvi sounded firm. Her unyielding attitude made the manager hard to refute as Leon was also considered as a customer and they were ordered not to disturb Elder Harmon or allow anybody inside.

Aarvi had looked for Elder Harmon in the party as Aaron had told her Leon came with his grandfather to evade the media. Since he wasn't in the banquet hall, she was sure Leon would have created a bunch of lies as Elder Harmon was exhausted or feeling unwell. She will use the same thing on Leon.

Aarvi turned to behind where the three men were confused. She nodded at Major Louis and Gavriel in apology, "I am sorry for the trouble. Please go and enjoy the party."

"Pumpkin!?" Zain wasn't sure what she was up to with paparazzi and Elder Harmon.

She couldn't possibly let the paparazzi take Elder Harmon's interview, right?

A sly smirk adorned her beautiful face, "Get prepared for the real drama." 

Major Louis's lips arced watching her live, how she was quick with the actions and his nephew controlling himself to support her every decision. Acting on their own terms and decisions was easier than showing unconditional support, he was proud of his nephew.

Zain chuckled while Aarvi held Aaron's hand and left with him, controlling her urge to rush up to Skyarc to have a look at Laze. She would have really killed Leon if the black cat was her Laze. The thought of shuddered her heart.

Aaron handed his mobile to her once they moved a few steps away. Aarvi saw it was a video call and in the video, Laze was glaring at the person who was intruding on its personal space.

Relief washed over her, Aarvi felt calmer and relaxed once her eyes fell on her Laze. She decided to have a camera installed in Laze's room so that she won't be panicked next time. She also wanted to install a screen so that she could connect to it and Laze could see her.

"Could you please turn the screen to Laze and hold the mobile at floor level?" She requested the other end.

"Sure, Young Madam." The man followed her words

Laze, which looked furious, softened at the sight of her. It carefully took a step and paused, still having its doubts. Aarvi softly waved her hand as a beautiful smile twinkled on her face.

Laze slowly reached and licked the mobile. It was dissatisfied and went back when Aarvi chuckled. Aarvi poked Aaron as she said, "Laze is reminding me of you."

Aaron: "..."

Was he being compared to Laze or Laze was being compared to him? He wasn't sure.

Aarvi again waved her hand saying, "Mamma and Daddy will be home soon. Play till then. Okay?... Bye…" She knew Laze understands Play and Bye if not other words. 

It looked at her for a few seconds before it jumped on the block and went on the bridges to start playing.

Aarvi hung up the call after thanking the man. She leaned on Aaron as they walked. Aaron was quick to wrap his hand to support her and heard her sweetly say, "My dear husband, you are the best." He knew well what she truly needed at that time, "I love you the most." She jutted her lips, making a cute face at him, which eventually eased him.

The manager: "..."

She had brought his heart till his throat. The manager couldn't believe she was the same lady who was speaking with her cat and flirting with her husband.

Aaron smiled, he was glad he could bring that smile back on her dainty face. He kissed at her hairline, barely grazing her cheek with the tips of his fingers.

Entering the elevator, the manager almost gasped when Aarvi suddenly shifted her position and pushed Aaron against the wall. He hurriedly turned around witnessing Aaron's alluring smirk. 

The manager was anticipating the couple to kiss, unable to move his gaze from their reflection. Whereas Aarvi asked her husband, flirtatiously, "President Rivas, I will grant you a wish. Ask me anything you want."

The manager: "..." His fantasy crashed, he braced himself to hear them flirting.
