The Traps of Black Swan

After more than half an hour,

Aaron and Aarvi left their room when Dylan exited the elevator and saw them. He paused looking at the couple without stepping towards Leon's room.

Aaron noticed Dylan, just like Aarvi even though he couldn't judge Dylan, he didn't consider Dylan in a positive light either. He glanced at Aarvi who still had a pink flush on her porcelain skin and was also baffled.

He squeezed her hand to get her attention to the reality and she blurted out, "Ronron, that crop top cost me nearly half a million. You just…" She was speechless that she was even speaking about it.

Aaron feigned ignorance to her words, "Relax Cupcake." So that she could face Dylan in her signature serenity.

Aarvi: "..."

Not when she could still feel hot in her core and his touch between her legs. She was feeling like a lusty teenager in a relationship. If Shawn hadn't called them, they would probably be completing the deep. 

Aarvi felt her face turn hot again. She was about to pat her cheeks when her eyes landed on Dylan. She understood why Aaron wasn't teasing her.

Aaron saw her morph to her calmness with the corner of her lips slightly tilted. He knew it wasn't a smile, her lips naturally settled in a curve.

He felt he had underestimated his Cupcake. Even though the style and choice of Shea were quite different, once Aarvi wore it, the fearlessness was very obvious in the black. The flowy hem of the dress gave a graceful look, hugging her upper body accentuating her curves.

She had tied her hair in a messy hairdo as quickly as possible. So the strands of her hair were giving her delicate touch. Now both being in black, he felt like they were twining.

"Congratulations President Evans, President Rivas." Dylan wished them, "Happy married life."

Even though he didn't reveal his emotions, Aarvi and Aaron could feel he was sincere.

Aaron merely nodded in response while Aarvi smirked. She knew Dylan was waiting for her to meet him. According to her plan, it was closer to the date, "See you in Palm island."

Dylan nodded in a faint bow and pointed to the elevator for them, hiding his smile. He saw the couple enter the elevator before the faint footsteps moved at the end of the corridor. 

Dylan couldn't believe Roach always stays around Aaron in an inconspicuous location without disturbing the couple. But Dylan didn't notice the Shadow team were still in the shadows. 

Dylan let out a chuckle glancing at his mobile. Another video of Aarvi went viral like no other video ever. Her social media account was exploding with followers, appreciating her boldness. Some people said it was a gimmick but she already had fans to defend her.

Meanwhile, people cursed Leon to death, bringing up Leon beating his wife, and torturing Elder Harmon. Harmon Industries PR department doing their everything and even removing the video but there were thousands of shares hence it was becoming impossible.

Leon had attacked Rivas and Skylar but Aarvi needed to do a little that buried the past hot search with Leon.

He knocked on the door of Leon's suite and suddenly turned towards the lobby, recalling something. He wasn't going to palm island. Leon had instructed him to take care at the Harmon Industries so Leon or a director would be going there. So he was confused why Aarvi mentioned the island.

He looked ahead when he heard the door unlock. Entering inside, his eyes scanned the living hall. He was shocked to see everything in its place and nothing broken. He almost felt like he came to the wrong room until he got a glimpse of Leon's dark face after he sat on the couch.

He placed the suit bag on the couch and took a seat, "Brother Leon, we are trying to handle the situ…"

Leon waved his hand dismissing the topic. Leon knew the situation outside without even checking his mobile, and handling it so soon was impossible. 

The real pressure was the shareholders torturing Dylan. He needed to secure the project deals to seal their mouths and find a way to get his grandfather back. 

He didn't care about his image and cleaning up anymore. All he wanted was the power and way to control Aarvi.

He knew Skylar wanted a palm resort too and if he goes out in public, she would make use of it in her favor. "I will handle it at the office. Lead the team to acquire a palm resort." He sounded resolute on his decision.

Dylan: "..."

He started feeling like Aarvi has a superpower to look into the future.

In the banquet hall, 

The couple was undoubtedly head-turners while they walked together hand in hand. When they reached the main table across the dance floor, Shawn welcomed them with a tease, "Sister-in-law, what were you doing for so long?"

Aarvi: "..."

Why do they have to choose her when Aaron was also there?

Shea, Megan, and Karsen chuckled which caught the attention of Jordan. The latter sent the guest as he turned to them.

Aarvi was about to tease him as single dogs don't have to know, Aaron responded for her, "Romance... You footloose and fancy-free don't understand it."

Even if Shea wanted, she couldn't laugh while the rest chuckled and Aarvi giggled pointing at Shawn's face.

"..." Shawn was the one who should be teasing them. Disliking the flip in the topic, "Bro, you…"

'Pak'

"Grandfather…" Shawn was flabbergasted.

Jordan hit his buttocks with the cane and scoffed, "Get a girlfriend. Stop fooling around, you brat."

Shawn wanted to counter but couldn't. He realized now that Aaron got his Cupcake, everyone was looking forward to his love story. "I- I am not talking with you guys." He snorted and walked away as he heard them laughing.

Jaxon commented looking at the couple, "Shawn was waiting for you guys to start the music. You guys made him angry."

Shea and Megan hummed. Before their words, they heard Shawn's voice over the speakers, "What's the banquet without music and dance on the floor?"

Most of them left their glasses on the table. The dance was the time when most of the single ladies get to talk to single men. So they were excited.

Shawn continued, "Let's welcome my Sister-in-law and Brother to set the stage."

The guests give a round of applause turning from Shawn to the couple. Aaron elegantly extended his hand at his wife. A pleased smile appeared on her face as she gracefully placed her hand on his and went to the center.

The background music was changed to soft melodious music perfect for the couple dancing. The audience was stunned and also surprised without expecting a mindblowing dance by the couple before other couples of all ages joined. 

After some time, the singles paired up and stepped on the floor while the old couple stepped away.

Shea accepted Jaxon's invite while at the other end, Shawn accepted a lady's request. 

Aarvi asked glancing at Shea and Jaxon, "Is Jaxon single?"

Aaron shook his head, twirling her around and pulling to his arms, "He is engaged."

Aarvi confessed her thoughts, "I had thought Shea might have a crush on Shawn." 

Aaron nodded realizing it wasn't just him who felt that. "Shea is afraid to date. She thinks she can't handle breakups hence she was hooking up without feelings attached." Her goal was to become independent, excelling in her career.

Aarvi nodded at him before slapping her forehead, looking at Zain and Ziva off the floor. 

How could she ever understand this couple?

------

Meanwhile, Shea noticed Shawn and the lady dancing at a distance. Jaxon noticed her frowns and followed her line of sight.

The lady was throwing herself on Shawn. The latter was forcing a smile trying his best to create distance without grabbing too much attention. It was easy to misunderstand as Shawn was trying to get closer.

Shea gritted her teeth, "B*tch." She cursed under her breath and looked at Jaxon whose sharp ears caught her word.

"Wanna go and help him?" He questioned her seeing her uncomfortable. Shawn wasn't a kid, he would get rid of the woman but didn't expect Shea to be annoyed so easily.

Shea was confused for a second before understanding Jaxon noticed them too. She pursed her lips before promptly nodding her head. She was craving to scratch that woman's face.

Jaxon respected her choice. He gradually stopped their moves before guiding her off the floor, like a gentleman.

After thanking Jaxon, Shea crackled her knuckles while going around the dance floor, to save the prince out of his distress.
