The Traps of Black Swan

Leon Harmon put on an act of a good brother and exited Sara's room forcing his brows from scrunching up. His hands tightened around Eliza's waist at the thought of having a sensible wife who doesn't trouble him unless she loses her mind with drinking.

Eliza bit her lips but didn't dare to move his hands away. Both were donning a luxurious outfit for the day but their mood was stark opposite to it. She wanted peace of mind and he wanted to strangle Sara Dawson.

Again the room door opened and closed with Sean running out with a big scowl. One could easily guess how much he hated this fiancee.

"Bro, how can you leave me alone in there? I will die from anger one day." He whined pushing them aside and strode ahead grumpily.

Leon instinctively wrapped his hands around Eliza when Sean pushed him. Eliza who was almost frightened thought the low height railing might not be able to handle two and both might fall down.

Her hands grabbed Leon's blazer, clenching her teeth, quietly waiting for the pain to inflict but she was surprised by the warm embrace and the steady heartbeats ringing in her ear.

Since her heartbeats were high and she was afraid a second back, she still wanted to calm down even if it's in his arms but her wish was denied as soon as that thought crossed her mind.

Leon steadied her holding her shoulder tight and asked with a doting gaze and voice, "Smile."

If one looked at his behavior, they might think he was trying to cheer her and pamper her but Eliza knew it was a threat when she was feeling bone-crushing pain from her shoulder.

She smiled, she did smile like a happy wife of her husband because that's the way to easily escape from him. Satisfied, Leon wrapped his arm around her waist and noticed Sean rushing to Aeon's room.

Leon missed seeing Sean pushing 'Ava' to the room before rushing inside and locking the door before his elder brother's eyes fall on her.

Leon didn't bother checking on Aeon which will ruin both of their moods so he went to their bedroom to rest a little while.

Aarvi noticed Sean's angry puppy face, she had no plans to meet him, even if she had to, it wasn't so soon. There was no point in running away so she saw him surprised and ran towards her.

Aarvi's lips twitched uncontrollably. She expected him to behave as it was his engagement but she felt like a mother whose child was rushing towards her in longing.

Nonetheless, her brows slightly raised when his happiness turned to shock. She thought he must have remembered it's his engagement and he will behave or make some stories for her to believe by putting on an act of a helpless kid.

But Sean glanced back before increasing his speed. "What the f**king hell are you doing here?" He hissed in panic by maintaining his voice low and he was about to hold her but Aarvi slipped from his grip.

Now it was Aarvi's turn to be surprised. He sounded like he disliked her presence in the hall when every annoying fling of his was in the hall with different guys or drowning in their sorrow for losing a good catch - Sean Harmon.

Sean didn't have time to think anything. He was ready to get a slap but didn't want his elder brother to see her and do something to her.

Opening the door that was at his right, he distracted her gaze pointing to the floor, "Look…" Just as her gaze was about to move, he yanked her and pushed her to the room without caring if she could handle the force of not.

He glanced one last at his brother who was holding Eliza's shoulder before entering inside and locking the door.

The Shadow team members were desperately tried to connect to her phone, she had informed them that she was going to face Leon Harmon so just keep her updated about his location and his activities so they wanted to inform her but were in shock when Sean took in the room.

"Captain, commands?" One who was near the stairs asked for orders to save Aarvi.

However, Alex was calm, "Miss. Evans can protect herself."

All were confused as they knew Aarvi can't fight, in fact, it wasn't suitable for her heart to learn to fight. Her kickboxing basics weren't enough either.

Meanwhile, inside the room, Aarvi wasn't able to avoid Sean and twirled due to his force. Instead of suddenly jerking to stop, which will affect her ankle and she might fall, she added her momentum and twirled pulling the needles out of her clutch.

Zain had taught her to use the silver needles. She knew to put him to sleep and she knew to kill with the same needle.

Aeon stood frozen in his bathrobe near the bed with his clothes lying on it.

He had just taken a shower and was choosing the suit when the door flung open and Aarvi twirled in and Sean hurriedly entered inside and locked the door before letting out a long sigh of relief.

Aarvi felt a presence behind her and Sean breathing relief. Sean had an image of philanderer so it was natural for her to think he might have plans to abuse her but his relief and seeing him lean on the door calming himself made her realize there was something else.

She composed, as she slowly hid the needles in the needle slot of her clutch. She wanted to make sure she wasn't standing in President Dawson or Dylan or Leon's room so she turned around and saw bewildered Aeon.

Wispy wet hair, his skin was glowing in pink tint, the bathrobe loosely hung around his body which gave a good view of his toned chest muscles.

Aarvi was least interested in his looks and she couldn't believe she was standing between two brothers from where her game had started.

'Don't disappoint me, guys. I am waiting for a good show.' She thought and was ready to take her eyes away from Aeon, Sean stood in front of her blocking her view of Aeon.

She tried her best to stop rolling her eyes when Sean said, putting on a serious face, "You shouldn't look at a half-naked man."

Aeon subconsciously pulled the bathrobe closer and was ready to ask what was going on but both brothers froze when Aarvi stepped towards the couch and sat down facing them.

One was in happiness and the other one was in bewilderment while trying to process the events so it took them time to come to senses but again lost it.

To put it bluntly, she was in the simplest dress but her appearance was one to stop their breaths and race their heart. They felt their mouth dry and repeatedly gulped.

She was wearing high heels which had delicate lace around her toes and ankle. Her long legs were a graceful sight against her black layered dress. She was wearing off a shoulder, A-line dress that hugged her upper body in shimmering cloth and flew down till her knees in three layers. The hem at the backside reached the ground which made her legs look more delectable.

Her neck adorned a thin chain with a single diamond that failed to take away her beauty. Her bare shoulder to the tips of her slender fingers was flawless and tempting.

Her hair was tied in a messy loose yet artistic bun with a few strands pulled here and there completing her exquisite look.

"Aarvi…" Sean's voice barely came out as a whisper as though he was trying to catch a breath after a strenuous exercise.

Clenching his fist, Aeon peeled his eyes away and looked at his little brother without understanding how he knows her.
