The Traps of Black Swan

When the young man reached the carpet that leads to the entrance, the driver had opened the car door and slowly an old man stepped out of the car.

Jordan was wearing a white shirt that had royal blue colored stripes. He buttoned the dark grey double-breasted blazer that had the checkered design in the blue color. The blue tie perfectly fit behind the blazer while the precious blue stone brooch was adorned on the blazer lapel.

The cameraman didn't miss capturing the images of the antique brooch. It was finely designed like the wings of an eagle on either end and a crown on top with the small diamonds flickered under the sea of lights.

Jordan flashed a soft smile at the young man when he passed the cane from his assistant to him. "Nobody would think of you as the Evans if you are so down to earth." He chuckled before both stepped ahead.

The young man responded to Jordan's comment, "What if I am Evans, people tend to forget we are humans too." A faint smile of dissatisfaction flashed on his face.

The rich know the problems of the rich. They would strive to have a normal life instead of being eye candy of the media or topic of discussion to the gossipers. While people often think the world belongs to the rich, the same people constrict the riches' world to their home and office without giving them the independence to walk and breathe anywhere in their own city.

Jordan sighed, accurately knowing how the young man must be feeling. Jordan was again surprised when the young Evans went aside to let him get some pictures before the reporters urged the young man to stand with Jordan.

The pictures were numerous as the questions. They didn't let Jordan go so easily and let out all the questions, one after the other without letting him speak.

Some asked about the young man next to him, some questioned about the recent accident at Coasta, some about Aaron's girlfriend, and a few about Aarvi Evans and whether she will attend the party.

Somebody in the crowd screamed suddenly, "Jaxon… That's Jaxon Evans. 'The Evans' from country S." The reporters held his mobile showing Jaxon's picture to everyone.

The gentleness on Jaxon's face vanished in a second and a professional aloofness was drawn on his handsome face.

Slowly reporters analyzed and gasped, assuming Aarvi Evans is Evans from country S. Meanwhile Jordan and Jaxon had left and entered the calmness inside the hotel.

The duo breathed before they smiled in resignation. "Now, I understand why Aarvi said technology is better than human memory."

Jaxon chuckled remembering Aarvi Evans aka Ava Kelly who he knew as Twyla. He really didn't know Aarvi Evans, his new younger sister is Twyla until today. He felt his world was really too small.

---- Two hours earlier ----

The sun was setting when Jaxon Evans came to the city inconspicuously. Milo Wen who had reached the city with Karsen, picked him up from the airport briefing why Aaron couldn't make it.

Milo Wen was driving towards the Rivas mansion as hotels couldn't be safer than the Rivas estate. However, Jaxon wanted to check out the city so he changed the plans, "Then, let's pick them up."

Thus the car went towards the high-speed rail station. Jaxon watched the city which was much more peaceful than his own business city.

Alighting the car, Jaxon was leaning on the car when the couple exited the station, hand in hand and the lady carried a black oriental cat in the other hand which was resting in her arm like a baby.

Milo Wen expected Jaxon to be delighted but the lines of confusion appeared on his forehead.

Jaxon pointed to the lady next to Aaron as he asked, "She… is she, Aarvi Evans?"

Milo Wen responded politely without understanding his reaction, "Yes, Director Evans, she is our Young Madam." He doubted if Jaxon had ever seen Aarvi's picture during the process of adoption.

Jaxon wanted to ask something but he controlled, to speak with Aaron or Aarvi directly.

At the other end, Aaron pointed his chin towards Jaxon as he asked Aarvi, "Do you know him?"

Aarvi didn't identify Jaxon at first sight. So she had to use her witty brain. Aarvi knew the Evans family would be visiting her soon after hearing about their marriage, but hadn't expected Jaxon Evans to reach on this day. She had thought of visiting the Evans family in country S after washing off Leon.

"My husband is asking me to check out another handsome man. Interesting." She teased Aaron.

Aaron smacked her little head before stuffing her little brain, "For your kind information, he is your brother in name."

It confirmed her guess as Jaxon. She giggled as she looked at Jaxon. Unlike how his pictures in the suit are viral in country S, Jaxon was lazily leaning on the car in a simple T-shirt, jeans, and a stylish jacket. Aarvi had seen pictures of Jaxon Evans who usually keeps a stoic expression to the camera but in a casual look, he was hunky.

"Jaxon!?" Aaron's greeting was in confusion when Jaxon's eyes were on his wife.

Jaxon shook Aaron's hand when he uttered looking at Aarvi, "Twyla!?"

Milo Wen: "..."

He was confused about the situation, 'Is it a new love rival time?' He let his mind run wild.

Aarvi awkwardly smiled without knowing how he knew about her as Twyla. She glanced at Aaron clutching his left hand tighter to fill her up.

Jaxon was still surprised and regretted never checking about Aarvi Evans. Seeing her didn't recognize him, he pretended to be searching for something as he uttered, "I should have brought my geeky glasses."

Aarvi: "..."

She imagined geeky glasses on Jason's handsome face and her lips slowly formed to O remembering the man who tried to poach her to the Evans Industries. "Xone?" The words uncertainly left her lips before she chuckled, "You had fooled me in your nerd look."

Jaxon was glad she recognized him. He glanced at Aaron shaking his head, "Aaron, I had told you I wanted to poach her to my team, Why did you marry her?"

Aaron: "..." He wanted to introduce them to each other but they already knew each other.

He pulled his wife closer and reminded him who she is, "My Cupcake." She wasn't somebody he looked for. She was the one he was blessed with.

Jaxon chuckled at Aaron's claim and reminded Aaron as he pointed at Aarvi with both of his hands, "The talent I couldn't touch with any amount of money."

Aaron remembered the time Jaxon was racking his brain personally to get a person to his team.

Jaxon had sent his team to talk to Twyla, when she turned down, he had tried to speak with her slowly and poach her. But her dreams were vivid and big so he had given up. Since both of their interests were in the stock market, they easily got along over the calls. They always exchanged their views, opinions about the stock market, never about their personal life.

Jaxon knew Aaron wasn't meeting his Cupcake in country S so he asked Aaron in bewilderment, "Your Cupcake was in my city, why weren't you meeting her? She was right next to you, dude."

Aarvi and Aaron looked at each and the former chuckled while Aaron said, "A long story." Aarvi couldn't believe many were rooting for her and Aaron when she had forgotten everything.

After the greetings, the trio left from there, seeing off Milo Wen to his home to attend the party with his wife.

Due to Jaxon's friendly personality, Aaron being his friend, and Aarvi and Jaxon's past conversations, it wasn't difficult for Aarvi to get along with Jaxon.

They were late to the party hence, Aaron changed their destination to Skyarc penthouse. Jordan, who got to know about Jaxon, decided to meet the young man and reached the Skyarc.

Aaron was against announcing Aarvi as a daughter of Evans as it will divert more troubles of Evans on her. Jaxon Evans realized how their identity would pressure Aarvi so he was with Aaron on that decision. He didn't want to snatch the freedom from her.

Then Aarvi requested Jaxon to rest in Shawn's penthouse as his identity wasn't a secret. Anyhow, Jaxon, who got to know Leon had tried to kill Aarvi, chose to attend. They won't be releasing any statement, but his presence means Evans is also there for Aarvi. Leon who knows Aarvi is Ava Kelly would have to fear before using any odd ways on Aarvi.

That's how Jordan and Jaxon left for the party, letting the couple get ready for the night.
