The Traps of Black Swan

Chapter 717 - Predator And Prey

Aaron narrowed his eyes at the man who was trying to provoke him. He knew the Parker family was aiming at Harmon Industries for a few years. Harmon Industries wasn't the only one, they had many companies on their list. But he hadn't thought the youngest son of the Parker family would really appear today.

For the way Martin was reacting, Aaron smirked, pitying the man. He could already guess Martin fell on his face, losing to his wife. "Get out." He passed by Martin and added, "Cry in a corner."

Martin gritted his teeth for not getting the reaction he wanted and growled, "Aaron Rivas, your wife almost seduced me. She is shades of gray. Not some innocent cute little girl." 

Aaron sat on his chair, leaned back. Who should he blame? Shea Morris for spreading out about his Cupcake. He watched Martin huffing and puffing. 'Seduced,' He was damn sure Martin tried to test his wife with his charming face and slapped himself when she played him back.

  Martin looked annoyed yet he couldn't vent his frustration for losing to a woman. Aaron retorted proudly, "Black." They don't have to think about whether or not Aarvi was evil. She was wicked and villainous in her own way, "She is the devil." He flashed a smile to irritate Martin.

Martin: "..." He was speechless at how husband and wife were synced.

The young lady on the couch chuckled hearing their conversation and how Aaron mentioned his wife as evil, yet be affectionate speaking of her. For the first time, she felt that the word 'evil' could feel intimate and adoring.

She looked at her friend going all crazy for losing face, "Relax Martin. Accept defeat, women are strong." Her crystal clear voice sounded soft on ears.

Martin turned to the lady grimly and pointed his finger at her. Then he shrugged and hissed, "Allie Evans, are you my friend or theirs?"

Allie Evans, the daughter of Evans. Her best friend and partner in crime, Martin Parker. Gadabouts who keep traveling the world. They got to know each other while exploring the world and became friends over time.

Since Martin was forced to go Mocon, Allie Evans followed him to drop by and meet Aaron Rivas and her younger non-biological sister, Aarvi Evans. She knew Aaron was displeased because she might bring more trouble on Aarvi. She couldn't help it, she was curious.

Martin Parker, for no reason, hated the girl who took the Evans name. He found her despicable to seek a different family name. Well, he knew everything from Allie Evans. Nevertheless, after meeting the new Evans today, he was also impressed by her.

Allie Evans stood up and made her way towards Aaron, "Of course, you are my friend." She responded to Martin and then she irritated him, "Aaron is my brother-in-law."

Martin rolled his eyes, "She isn't your sister. She is a wicked woman. You won't even get to know when she slaps you with your own words." He paused and realized he was going overboard, and apologized to Aaron, "I am sorry for my words... " Then he mumbled, "But that's a fact." He wasn't a businessman, he wasn't interested in business either. So being calculative to her extent was not his cup of coffee. Now his father was going to give him an earful.

Allie noticed the tense air between the two men. She wanted to slap that mouth of Martin who speaks every word he feels. She quickly spoke, to shift their attention as, "Doctor Rivas…" She hummed looking at Aaron, "Look at you all changed. Three years, doctor to a hottie. I am impressed." 

Three years ago, Aaron was a lean and simple handsome man who did nothing but study and study more by treating patients. For her, the changes were obvious. Now, she started to think if the Cupcake of Aaron was good enough for the handsome doctor. After hearing Martin say he almost swooned at her, she was more than curious to see Aarvi.

Martin nodded in agreement with Allie's words. But her next words irritated him, "No doubt, my little sister didn't throw a glance at this fool."

He snapped at her immediately, "Hey, what do you mean? Am I not handsome?" He had lost count of how many countries' beauties warmed his bed. 

Aaron played deaf and blind while the two fought. He quickly completed a few files which were regarding the hospital, improvements, and employees. While Shawn takes care of the company, he will be a managing director and doctor at Rivas hospitals, but after he returns to the country. Karsen will take care of hospitals for three more years.

By the time he finished the important files, the two childish beings had come to a conclusion without asking him. One had bet as Aarvi was a sweet wife of Aaron, she still believed in Shea's words and another one bet as a dominating and sly wife. Martin believed his experience.

"Aaron, does my little sister hide things from you?"

"Do you think she will dare to tell her husband that she was seducing me?" Martin was set against Aarvi.

Aaron's mobile beeped with Aarvi's message and coldly ordered the two "Get out," 

The two looked like abandoned kids which made Aaron strongly wish for a baby girl. He didn't want a bratty son. "Don't you want to see my wife?" He pointed to the next room. He actually needed a few peaceful minutes with his wife without those hyper being shouting around them.

Both immediately went to the next room and hid waiting for Aarvi to enter. Just then they saw a lady in halter neck, bodycon dress near the door. The collar of the dress was designed in wraps that she had tied in flat bows with two ends hanging front. 

Allie snapped Martin's head when she caught the sight of a sexy hourglass figure. She warned in a low voice, "Don't you dare think wrongly?"

Martin snorted, everyone will bury him deep in the ground. He didn't wish for such a future. He looked at the youngest woman in the room. He hadn't expected she could don a bold dress so effortlessly. Her silky hair was blow-dried and looked light on her back. Stepping inside with a clutch in her hand, two friends noticed a sweet smile appear on her face.

Unaware of the eyes, Aarvi leaned on the door and the silence embraced her flirty voice, "Hello, Doctor Rivas, mind if I disturb?" She teased with a tempting smile.

Martin: "..."

Allie Evans grinned triumphantly because Martin had said she would enter with a straight face. Whereas she was happy to see Aarvi also seemed to love Aaron a lot.

Aaron: "..."

He didn't know about seducing Martin or their bets, but his wife was there to distract him from work looking at the dress wrapping her curves so smoothly. Taking a long silent breath, he cued her to enter inside. He closed the file that was open on the table.

Aarvi would have run over to him before he could stand but her dress restricted her speed. Aaron came to the other side of the desk and she trapped him with her arms on either side with her devilish sexy smile.

"I see, Doctor Rivas is free today." When he was taking care of the company, his table used to be full always. 

Aarvi suddenly paused and turned to the next room where Milo Wen used to work. She saw none but she felt like somebody was watching them. 'I am thinking too much.' She brushed off.

Aaron's finger grazed over her chin, taking her attention. He didn't flirt, instead asked in concern, "Are you alright?" He pointed to the incident where Leon attacked her.

Aarvi's shoulders dropped and she pouted her lips, recalling it. She left her clutch on the table and made a puppy face, "I need a hug, Ronron." 

Aaron closed the distance pulling her to his arms and wrapping her in his arms. Aarvi wanted more. If the dress was different, she would have wrapped herself like a koala. She chose the dress for their evening date so she behaved. She buried herself in his embrace without even thinking why she asked for the hug in the first place. It was long forgotten.

Allie Evans silently laughed at her friend and stood up from the floor. Martin stood up after her with bewilderment. He couldn't believe this woman. She was like a tiger attacking everyone in the meeting. Now she was like an enchantress yet a delicate and soft woman. Of course, he forgot he was a prideful man outside and childish with the knowns.

Aarvi who still craved to enjoy in her husband's arms and hearing sweet nothing near her ears, turned around doubting the presence of people.

The smile on her face vanished when her eyes caught Martin's glowering eyes. She stood next to Aaron and crossed her arms.. She looked like a predator, ready to take the prey down.
