The Traps of Black Swan

Shea who went out saw there were other doctors to help Aaron and her presence would cause an unnecessary crowd in the mobile clinic so she stayed out.

When Shea went inside the club, her eyes fell on Tia who was sitting on the stairs. "Tia…" Shea lifted Tia's face, saw her moistened, eyes red. She tried to calm her down, seeing her in a helpless state. Shea didn't lie and told her how much ever she was able to understand Dax's case.

"Dax's muscles are torn, his nerve might be damaged causing the heavy blood loss. Brother Zain had arranged blood so he will recover quickly. You have to be strong." Shea hugged her at the end.

Tia got a call from her team mentioning Leon attacked the Highland club. So she rushed over there. She was working alongside her team when Mrs. Spencer called her and told her about Dax's car being damaged brutally in an accident which was all over the news channels.

She wanted to go but Clark didn't let her leave saying she would only increase the trouble on Aarvi. With that, the news was circulating as Dax wasn't in the car. Now, she didn't know if she should breathe in relief or worry more after seeing an unconscious Dax.

Before Shea came, she didn't know who she should reach out to know about Dax or how she should react. If she was just a shopkeeper of Aarvi's flower shop, she knew not just Shea, Shawn and Aarvi would have kept her close too. She didn't know how to smooth out the strained relationship ship with everyone.

Anyway, being alone for so many years and toughening herself, it wasn't difficult for her to appear all fine when her heart was still shuddering in fear.

Once Tia got hold of herself, Shea took her inside to Shawn's office room. Shea was also worried about how Aarvi came by flight.

---

Inside the office, Zain and Shawn fell silent when they noticed Aarvi sitting emotionless. There was no change in her expression when she was staring into the space while thinking something. They could only hope she wasn't pressuring herself.

Shawn felt Leon had played well this time. Even though Leon hadn't gained what he aimed for, he hurt each of them, emotionally. If he hadn't identified the smell of drugs or if his fear of relapse hadn't affected him so much, he would have attended Aarvi and Dax's call. Then they wouldn't have worried and left their place.

If Dax had listened to Aarvi and returned to the home, he could have been completely safe. Then he wouldn't have regretted his actions.

And Aarvi, Shawn knew she would blame herself for every action of Leon that affects them. And she doesn't let them see how she was handling everything, without bursting into tears.

Zain tried to discern Leon's actions. Leon being cunning and sharp, after facing so many failures and analyzing Aarvi's plan, Leon wouldn't put his plan so simple. Zain could say Leon would be preparing for the next attack or there was something they were missing out on. 

Zain glanced at Aarvi. He knew she would be thinking the same and more profound than him so she let her think. His next thoughts were about the men who were keeping an eye on them.

Aaron's men could easily take down Leon's men who were waiting for them to exit the club. But it would only increase the bloodshed of the men who were doing the work just for money. Those men held no grudge against them. Leon doesn't deserve so many lives of the men yet, Zain or others couldn't take them easily and sacrifice their life.

Aarvi suddenly and coldly uttered with her eyes turning murderous,  "It's time to bring the rat out." If Leon was planning to attack them back to back, she didn't wasn't going to strengthen her defense. Aaron would proficiently handle it. So she was going to attack crumbling Leon's plan and divert his focus.

Shawn became curious while Zain frowned. The latter wanted to say it wasn't time to plan an attack while Leon would be prepared to trap them in it. Reckless plans would cost them too much when they were still at the disadvantage. "Pumpkin..." He paused when the two ladies entered inside.

Aarvi realized she forgot Tia while worried about her two friends and thinking of Leon. She never held grudge against Tia for Dax as he had feelings for her. She might not be able to treat Tiana so well but she didn't want to ignore her as she is Dax's girlfriend. "Tia..."

Zain and Shawn: "..."

Just a few seconds they felt the air freezing when they heard her words. Now, she turned into a sweet sister, or more like a mother as soon as two women came inside. Sometimes, Zain felt his Pumpkin and Shawn felt his Little Heart, too scary.

Aarvi proceeded to Tia and held her arms, "You trust your Doctor Handsome, right? You have to trust him again. Dax will be alright soon."

Tia weakly smiled as she nodded. She knew more than her, Aarvi and Shawn would be worried about well being of Dax. Aaron would go for any length for Aarvi. So she knew Dax would be alright but her heart still weighed recalling his unconscious state.

Aarvi felt bad for Tia. She had her husband, brother, and two friends if she wanted to cry. After Tiana's real identity was disclosed, Tia was left with nobody with whom she could cry her feelings out. So, Aarvi unawarely wrapped her arms around Tia. Once upon a time, Aarvi too nobody but a corner of her room to cry alone.

Aarvi believed women were stronger. Sometimes they just need two ears to listen to them, to remove stored emotions off their chests. 

Tia froze when Aarvi envolped in her arms. She knew well Aarvi needs a lot of time and abundant trust to be able to physically touch anybody. It was the first time Aarvi came so close to her. Feeling emotional for not losing Aarvi, Tia let her tears out, while her hands hesitantly wrapped around Aarvi.

Shawn leaned closer to Zain and asked in a low voice, "Brother Zain, don't you think, Little Heart's heart is grown a little bit?" Seeing her keeping every away from two years, and now witnessing her slowly embrace more people in her life, Shawn was glad there was a lot of improvement in her life.

Zain didn't respond as that question needed no response. Instead, he put his hand on Shawn's back and pushed him off the couch towards Shea who was smiling looking at two ladies. Zain kind of liked Shea's personality. Shea expected nothing from anybody and becomes happy looking at others happy.

Shawn was expecting Zain to push him away so he stood balancing himself. Looking at Shea, he recalled she appeared out of nowhere and he hadn't called her to the club today. Worry sparked. He kept his big palm on her head and turned her to look at him, "What are you doing here?" His inquiring dominant tone sounded.

Zain couldn't believe, in the critical situation he was trying to sail a ship.. He also wanted to see if Shea could be able to boldly accept she was there for Shawn.
