The Traps of Black Swan

At Harmon Mansion,

Leon waited for the message which wasn't going to come. Sitting on the rocking chair, he was in deep thoughts when he got a call from his men.

"Yes?"

[President Harmon, Second Young Master, Third Young Master, and Young Madam are in the Mocon at Maple regency.] Leon's men reported about Aeon, Sean, and Eliza. 

Initially, Leon had believed Sean and Eliza had left the country to stay safe from him. So he wasn't looking for them. Now that he was pulling Aarvi's all cards, he realized his family is included too. So he asked his team to search for them when he returned to Mocon from the island.

After carefully spying on Aeon's movements in the city, his team finally came back with useful information. Leon sat straight hearing the news. Maple regency was one of the highly secured and expensive living areas in Mocon. It was well guarded as numerous influential people stayed around. So getting into the regency felt difficult. Leon stayed silent to hear everything.

[They stay together without any maids or helpers. There is a woman psychologist who visits the house every day. Other than that, nobody enters or leaves the villa. The Second Young Master goes to work and returns at random times whereas the Third Young Master has joined the culinary class.]

Leon's jaw dropped hearing the last words of his men. He asked to confirm he heard right, "You mean, Sean joined cooking classes?"

[Yes, President Harmon. We aren't able to confirm what time he leaves but he leaves the classes at five sharp.]

Leon burst into laughter unable to believe Sean, who was doing nothing but sleeping, hitting gym and clubs, spending money like water, had joined culinary classes. If Sean had joined theatre classes, Leon wouldn't have been surprised as Sean had the looks. Cooking was just out of books. Thinking it must be Eliza trying to change Sean, Leon started aiming at Sean.

The other end of the line was silent, particularly frightened to hear Leon laugh. His laughter meant no happiness anyway.

After a long silence, Leon instructed indirectly, "The third young master of Harmon family, met with an accident while crossing the road." That accident would bring Aeon, Eliza, and his grandfather. Aarvi would lose her control over them.

Leon scoffed in mind realizing his family members are best pawns against Aarvi. He was sure she would surrender for their life. He gave up his plan on Dax's parents and let the news circulate as Dax is dead.

Now he would see how Aarvi was going to run between hospital, company, and him. He would give her no time to think of attacking him.

He was proud of himself when his men accepted the job of killing Sean and ended the call. 

Not too late, he was cradling himself to sleep on the rocking chair when his mobile rang in complete silence.

He ignored the call to sleep but it continued to ring another time. He answered thinking it might be important. He didn't get to say anything and the other end started whispering in panic, [Boss, the villa is being surrounded by somebody. A group is ambushing us.]

Leon felt completely awake hearing those words. He looked at the screen and confirmed it was from a place he was hiding the illegal firearms.

He was mortified at the thought of losing everything. He knew the job he was doing was too risky. That doesn't mean he didn't trust the men who were guarding the place. "Kill them all." He passed the orders through his teeth. 

Ending the call, he dialed Aarvi's number, being very sure it was her doing. He wanted to stuff her brain that attacking his villa and confining those items would bring both of them to grave danger, not just him. She was pushing each one from both sides to the edge of death if her team ended up completing the mission.

The mobile rang but the call wasn't answered. He tried again and finally the call was received, "Are you fucking psycho?" Leon burst out.

He was seething in anger while thinking about the possibilities of them fleeing away from the country to keep themselves safe. He didn't realize he thought about Aarvi's safety too.

[What the hell… Haven't you done enough already? Instead of sleeping happily, why are you behind me again?]

Leon heard her annoyed voice had exhaustion. That was sleepiness. "Stop pretending. Didn't you plan this attack?"

Leon heard an annoyed sigh before hearing her words, [What attack are you speaking about? Did you even give me time to think of a plan? Did you have a dream? Just now I dozed off. Couldn't you let me sleep for a second?]

Leon paced in his bedroom hanging up the call. If it wasn't Aarvi's doing, he didn't know who could be behind it. He was sure Aaron wasn't an idiot to provoke something both of them together couldn't handle. 

After a few minutes, he contacted Dylan who was sleeping peacefully. [Hello, Brother Leon, is everything alright?]

"Return immediately. I will tell you the rest later. Leave right now." He commanded Dylan first. Then he got busy the rest of the night checking on other places to make sure everything is under their control.

In Skyarc penthouse,

Aarvi looked at Aaron without knowing what to say. Seems like she had no idea about the depth of the dirty world.

Aaron would have picked the call but he wouldn't be able to act as convincing as Aarvi so he had to wake her up.

"I am sorry." Aarvi apologized for her stupidity.

Aaron leaned on the headboard of the bed and pulled her into his arms. "Don't worry, Cupcake. Let's see how it goes."

"Do you think Nico Burton would be able to handle this?" Aarvi asked, feeling wide awake, looking at the developments.

Aaron caressed her head thinking the same. "I am not sure. He shouldn't have attacked so quickly, did you tell him to attack tonight?"

Aarvi shook her head, "I just revealed one location to him which I had seen. Remember, I had told you once."

So Leon's destiny was in Nico Burton's smartness. Aaron sighed, "If it was so easy to take Leon control, the military would have done it a long time ago. Let's wait for tomorrow's news."

Aarvi pouted, rubbing her face against his chest, "You have turned me dumb."

Aaron caressed her head, indulgently saying, "Then be my little dummy."

She couldn't believe he was flirting with her when she worried about the coming future.

Feeling restless, "I will go and check on Dax. I will be very quick."

Aaron didn't stop her. He nodded, kissing her forehead. "Come back soon."

Aarvi left the bedroom wearing her robe. Aaron grabbed his mobile as soon as the door closed. He dialed his uncle, Major Louis's number to tell him about the situation. 

His uncle heard him carefully without bothering about woken him up in the middle of the night. He didn't say anything for a few seconds before he plainly said, "I will call the team back. Ask Aarvi to follow her main plan." More than anybody, he wanted Leon's power to end. And he knew Aarvi could do it without crossing the laws.

Aaron breathed once the call was ended. If Nico's team returns, the danger fades away, else there would be bloodshed in the forest.

Rather than getting angry at Aarvi, Aaron was glad he was able to hold control, protect his dummy wife.. His wife was human too, so he didn't mind the mistake.
