The Traps of Black Swan

Meanwhile, at Skyarc Penthouse,

Shawn got fresh early and was sitting in the study room wearing a loose-fitted dark blue t-shirt and grey joggers. He was looking through some office documents of Rivas Industries.

The documents were mainly from the human resource and the security department who does the background check of employees before providing the ID and access to various sections of the offices.

He was notified that a few of the employees were being suspicious, trying to sneak the information here and there.

He was making sure those employees with the veteran employees who had helped them could be thrown out of the organization before it's too late.

Keeping such a vast organization clean was impossible, but he wanted to make sure the headquarters' employees are refined for a better work environment.

Busy with filtering out rogue employees, he heard some noises from the living hall. He was alone in the penthouse, he didn't hear the door unlocking for Aarvi to enter.

To check what was going on, he went out and leaned on the door frame of the study room. His eyes carefully gazed over the spacious living hall before his eyes fell on the music system.

"Heh?" He grunted in confusion.

He hadn't turned the music system on, he didn't remember playing anything. The speakers were installed around the living hall to give the better effect of listening, standing anywhere in the living hall, dining hall, and kitchen.

He shook his head at the muffled sounds and breathy inhale of a woman emitting from the speakers. It was quite disturbing.

'What kind of music is that?' He thought as he pulled his mobile out.

He opened the smart controller application and turned off the music system through it. He went back to his study chair to complete his work and go to bed soon.

Wasn't he bothered about what was going on with Shea?

He was actually ignoring to even think of it.

Half a minute hadn't passed, Shawn's eyebrow twitched when the sensuous moans of the woman again started playing.

"Is this application crashed?" He thought and again turned the music system off. A slight irritation was bubbling thinking he should write a complaint to the application developers.

The sounds ended.

The eerie silence enveloped the penthouse but it wasn't even for a minute.

The sounds started again causing him to bang his palm on his desk. Those moans of being pleasured continued with huffing and panting of two.

He stormed out to the living hall, considering it a sick malfunction of the devices as his playlist never had such sounds.

He grabbed the remote controller of the music system from the center table and slammed his finger on the power button as though he wanted to smash that button.

He knew what the noises were. It was the audio of a couple getting chummy. He knew it was a p*rn audio. He breathed slowly to avoid unnecessary thoughts of something.

Damn! He wasn't any sex crazy man to fancy all that.

He had just taken a step towards the study when he felt his smart television screen glow up from the dark screen. The living hall which had only a ceiling and dim, soft lights suddenly brightened up.

He knew what was playing on the screen by hearing the moans on a woman and sounds of licking followed by the hoarse grunts of a man.

He still turned right to take a look at the screen so that he doesn't just judge by the sounds. Despite knowing what was playing, he couldn't stop his jaw-dropping.

It wasn't because of seeing the burly man sucking on the woman's big breasts. It was because he couldn't believe somebody was playing that sick joke at him.

Trying his best not to think of what was happening on the screen, he gulped his saliva, the loose-fitted t-shirt he was wearing failed to keep him cool.

He let out a groan of frustration due to his body and his betrayed mind which reminded of him the woman with who he recently had sex.

"Darn it,"

He really didn't want to remember Shea or the time he spent with her. He just wants to consider her an acquaintance who will be going to live in the Rivas guest house for the time being.

He was aware he would have to meet her, he least wanted to make her uncomfortable or be wary around him. He won't mind being ignored or misjudged by her.

Glancing at the television screen, he hated smart devices which could be controlled by the internet.

Thinking of the Internet, both the penthouses use private networks to avoid being visible to potential hackers. Unless the hacker knows the network address of their private network, it was really hard to hack in, much less control all his devices.

A name easily stood top in the list of potential attackers - Aarvi Evans.

"Little Heart…" He growled, turning off the television.

He knew it was the punishment for ruining Aarvi and Aaron's moment. Even though it appeared fun without any damage as she causes for others, she knew well to play things back at them and make them embarrassed.

The previous night, Shea and he were busy in carnal activities and those sounds disturbed Aarvi and her boyfriend. Hence the punishments he received were putting on an act of those activities in front of her and hearing the sounds when he is alone in the penthouse.

His Little Heart in country S used to run back to her condo if she was hearing anything as such. But the current Little Heart seeks revenge. "Evil Little Heart."

He knew it was just her plan, without seeing or hearing any p*rn videos. Hence the players, her teammates were behind the screen and torturing him.

He knew what she was trying to tell him to be careful about the surroundings when going wild.

Turning off the television, he turned around to go back to study. Anyway, he froze when the video and audio had fast-forwarded to the main course and blasted in his music system and television simultaneously.

Shawn: "..."

The whole penthouse was filled with the erotic whimpers of a woman and unfortunately, his lower body was very keen on noises while his brain betrayed him repeatedly.

He ran up to the switchboard and turned off all the smart device-connected switches. He only breathed a sigh of relief after the electricity was cut.

His gaze slowly moved to the refrigerator, 'It won't play sounds, right?'

When it's Aarvi Evans, he knows he has to be careful with even the smallest things. However sweet she might be, she is a sly fox.

He understood why intelligence is dangerous. Used for good, it could be very helpful. Used for wickedness, it can bring calamities.

"My Little Heart and her quick-wittedness." He chuckled and also sighed.

He had just covered half the distance from one corner of the living hall to the other end where the study room was present, his mobile started playing the same erotic sounds in the study room.

"Holy f**k,"  Without thinking anymore, he bolted out of the penthouse and breathed. "My Little Heart is a Queen of Torture."

A cold run down his spine just by the thought of how Aarvi was torturing others more brutally.
