The Traps of Black Swan

Will Ava Kelly, aka Aarvi Evans, plann to hold the reins of Leon Harmon?

Then Leon won't hold back anymore. He will leave her no way back and see the men around her go insane without having a way to help her.

He will send her to hell from where only he could be able to bring her out.

Does she want him to be her puppet dancing on her strings? Then he will make her life turn into a life of an absolute doll. A doll that will only belong to him. Leon was preparing to make her regret her actions for the rest of her life.

Isn't he updated with the generation? Does the new generation have the same experience as him? Leon scoffed in his mind remembering Shawn's words.

He had no plans to attack Aaron, or Shawn or Dax, or Zain. Because their biggest failure will be seeing Aarvi suffer. He could easily break them if he gets Aarvi to his hands.

With the plans immediately taking effect, he started studying Skylar and Rivas industries to be prepared to attack Aarvi in every way.

At another end of the mall, Shawn was suggesting to go to Highland for the success celebration for winning the project Golden Oil and Gas against Merton Industries who had tried to control them in many ways.

Zain submitted to the pestering of Shawn so that Aarvi could relax for some time with everyone. Aaron, who had plans to go to the hospital, gave in, to spend some time with them.

Aarvi knew there was a battle ahead, especially for Dax. He has to settle his feelings for Tia and manage the company as Leon was going to start his attacks. So she didn't force their decision on him to do anything, "If you don't have the mood, don't push yourself."

"Hmmm!?" Tia, who was setting up her new mobile configuration, unexpectedly crossed them. She heard Aarvi and looked at Dax. He enjoys music and drinks so she understood it was because of her.

Dax, who was about to decline his friends and go to Skylar, wrapped his hand around Aarvi's shoulder, "Let's break the roof tonight." He took Aarvi away leaving the rest behind, ignoring Tia completely.

Tia bit her inner lip looking at his back. She didn't expect him to accept her, she wanted him to hear her and let her apologize to him and his parents. His ignorance was worse than the punishments she could receive from Clark.

Shawn sighed while Aarvi looked at Dax. She could speak for Tia but it won't help Tia or their relationship. Dax never wanted to be in a complex relationship. Even though Tia's unknown sides were fascinating, he had always thought of her as a simple girl who goes to work every day.

So Aarvi speaking for or against Tia wouldn't mend things but remind him how complex, short-term relationship he was in. So she focused on distracting and making him enjoy for the time being.

Zain glanced at Tia. He hadn't appeared in front of her before. It was the first time. He can understand her decision behind hiding her identity as the nature of their work was similar in different fields.

He could also see her repenting. According to him, it was still her mistake. When she knew she couldn't speak about her real identity, she shouldn't have entered the relationship in the first place.

Aaron and Zain followed the two without bothering about Tia. Shawn shrugged his shoulders, it wasn't only telling her he can't help her, it was also because he can't forgive her easily as she had played in both of his friend's life.

Tia didn't trouble Shawn. She sighed. Dax was treating her worse than how he treats a stranger or woman who tries to climb their way up. She knew she would have to work hard to get that one chance for a conversation with Dax.

"Tia." A hoarse, oppressive tone sounded behind her. She wanted to run away but forced herself to turn around, "Mr. William."

Clark ignored her unwillingness and focused on his reason, "Where is Ms. Evans?"

Tia flashed him a smile taking him by surprise. Tia too realized she was affected by Aarvi. "I don't know. Thank you for a day off. I will take my leave." She strode away leaving him to fume.

She knew why Clark wanted to meet Aarvi. He was willing to take her support at the realization of her resources being much more useful than what they had gathered over years.

Since she was suffering due to her profession, she was making Clark suffer too. They weren't allowed to keep track of Aarvi anymore as she was no longer their civilian asset.

She exited the mall thinking where she should let her emotions out and cry. She could only go to Mrs. Spencer who treats her as her daughter. So she went straight to Spencer's house to cry her eyes out after many years of suppression.

At the Highland club,

Zain couldn't help but chuckle how the security of the place drastically increased as soon as Aarvi stepped inside. He sat with Aaron at the bar counter while the three were at the music system, enjoying the music and dancing in their world forgetting their worries aside.

He turned to Aaron to ask something but a girl pounced on him. Before his face could darken, the girl looked at him. She exclaimed, "Brother Aaron, you have a handsome friend."

'Brother Aaron.' Instantly cooled down Zain while Aaron was busy handling the adult child.

Aaron flicked on her forehead before responding, "Aarvi's brother, Zain… And behave yourself."

Shea pouted at Aaron before changing her place, "Woah, why do you and your sister are so beautiful? I am jealous now."

Zain glanced at Aaron who was rubbing his forehead as though his mischievous sister was shameless. He softly complimented back, "You are gorgeous. You don't have to be jealous of us."

Before she could shriek like a fan of Zain hearing his deep, polite voice, Aaron cut off, "Zain is single, by the way." He tried to check her reaction.

Zain: "..."

He wanted to call his sister to look for the real Aaron, this wasn't the Aaron he knew. However, looking at his eyes on Shea, he realized he was up to something.

Shea cried remembering her previous conversation with Aaron. Aaron had asked her if she was interested in Shawn but the girl had brushed off saying it was just a little attraction. "Stop bullying me." Then she looked at Zain and Aaron before she grinned, "You two creatures are worthy of my admiration. I am not greedy."

Zain was impressed by the girl and saw Aaron lift his brow at her before he shook his head in resignation and sipped his whiskey. Zain was sure Aaron had a reason for his actions.

He shrugged before he checked a new incoming message on his mobile. He turned to the music system to call Aarvi but her attention wasn't on them.

He went to the entrance and escorted a tall, elegant lady inside. Dax was first to see them and pointed them to his friends. Dax and Aarvi had the same deduction, "Sister-in-law.." And Shawn was already auto-tuning the music looking at Zain beckoning Aarvi.
