The Traps of Black Swan

At city Mocon,

In a luxurious apartment, a young man was sitting in front of a desk, propping his legs on it. He watched the laptop screen in amusement, munching the crackers.

The laptop was playing a video he had received not too long ago. It was a video of Aaron and Aarvi kissing in the water in front of waterfalls. The young man cursed the angle of the video as it was taken behind Aarvi.

He licked his lips imagining him in the place of Aaron. "F*ck..." He cursed. He had seen Ava Kelly numerous times, he never had thought she would turn out to be so hot and sizzling.

"Is she really Ava Kelly?" He just couldn't believe it. Ava Kelly he knew was dumb to the bones, tricking her used to be so easy.

It wasn't digestible for him to believe that naive girl was the President of Skylar Industries. If he had heard Dax Grant was the one, he wouldn't have been surprised, but her?

Anyway, after seeing her jump from the cliff to the water, he strongly believed she was daring. He would think ten times to take that jump.

He initially had thought Aaron and Aarvi might be just showing off the media being on a business deal. He hadn't expected Aaron to be smitten by her.

He was drooling just by the video so he wasn't surprised by Aaron. Having a taste of her was surging in him when they broke the kiss. "That's it?" He was disappointed there were no steamy scenes. Anyway, he continued to watch.

Even though the video was taken from afar, he could clearly see Aaron controlling himself from having his way with her right there.

He admired the man's self-control, "I see… she is into a gentleman." He muttered. He was also disappointed for not getting to see any more exciting parts.

He swallowed hard when the alluring beauty got out of the water with her clothes seizing her every curve. He started imagining as she might undress to remove excess water from clothes but she didn't.

Self-conscious, he pulled his t-shirt up and saw his stomach that was almost trying to bulge out. Then at Aaron who had sculpted abs and firm chest, and the sexy V back, that made him envious instantly.

Aarvi sprinted towards the camera on the screen. "Oh f**k, will he get caught?" He started worrying and heard the man behind the camera gasp dropping the mobile.

The next second, his heart almost leaped out of his throat when the snake's face appeared on the screen followed by a shriek of a woman.

He closed the laptop, scared to death by the snake covering the whole screen. He chugged a glass of water to calm down and breathe trying to erase the Snake's image from his mind, but it was harder.

He suddenly recalled Aarvi's scream, "Is Ava Kelly dead? Just like that?... No, the snake was looking into the camera..." He continued to talk to himself.

He started pacing in the study room thinking if he should make a call or wait to see any videos being sent.

At Luxembourg,

Aarvi was quick to come up with the plan. It was a method of distraction. She watched Aaron's side profile, "Ronron, I can walk."

"After wearing the shoes." He was clear and cut. He forgot to conceal his suspicious voice.

"Alright, play along." Aarvi didn't hide from Aaron. The latter didn't reveal his reactions as he wasn't surprised to hear her.

He hummed while she thought about how to make them look more natural. Seeing Aaron climb easily as though she weighed nothing. First question, "Ronron, why and when did you start focusing on your physique?"

It was also a question she wanted the answer to. Shawn and Dax cared about their body and how they looked. Zain's job asked him to be extra fit. Aaron wasn't that way, he only focused on eating healthy that would keep him fit.

Aaron took a glance at her little face and teased her to liven up the air as her plan won't fail, "Hmmm… To get some pretty dates."

Aarvi: "..."

If that was the case, she would be the first one to be excited to know how his dates were and why it didn't work out. Since he wanted to tease her at such times, she played along. "I am itching to chew a part of your neck." She threatened, sounding jealous.

Her teeth grazed over his neck as her lips soothed the skin. Her actions were exciting his body instead of thinking of it as punishment. Hence he blurted out, "After I discharged you from hospital to home."

Shawn had started training himself as an armed guard when she was at the hospital and Aaron started to focus on himself at the Avron mansion when she was still comatose after being discharged from the hospital.

Brothers knew one thing, being fit was useless. They need to be strong with attack and defense as they had no idea what Aarvi had been through and the bullet said the criminals couldn't be simple people.

He felt her arms tighten around him, probably thinking how he had pushed and punished his body for her. Anyway, she didn't show it on her face, she coquettishly whispered near his ear, with her finger, drawing circles on his bare muscular chest, "I will make sure to use all your efforts, Ronron."

Aaron paused. His wife was adamant about making him lose control in the forest when somebody was following them. Using his body? Why not? Pulling her to his front in a bear hug, "Looks like…"

His eyes traced down her eyes to her luscious parted lips… down the chin and wet strapped crop top alluring her curves. She was incredibly tempting, "You aren't scared of snakes anymore."

He meant he wouldn't mind making love to her in the woods. Thinking of it, it was more exciting for both.

Swallowing hard, Aarvi: "..."

She jumped to her feet, started running away, screaming purposefully, "You wild man, don't forget we are in the woods."

Aaron chuckled as he followed her. He knew she craved to kiss him but the snake had strongly sat in her mind and their mission was to catch the person.

Aarvi hid behind the rock and Aaron at the different one. From the far distance, it looked like they disappeared into thin air.

A few seconds passed, neither Aaron nor Aarvi moved or peeked. They stood behind the rock, trying to focus their ears beyond the sound of water.

Aarvi asked in a low voice, "How much do you rate yourself for aiming at a moving object?" Initially, her voice didn't reach him so she had to repeat herself.

Aaron rated himself six and she doubted as he was underestimating himself. So she rated herself one leaving himself speechless.

She pointed to the handful size of a stone, indicating he needs to throw it on the head of a man. Upon that they weren't sure if that man was alone or had others.

If there were more, Aaron and Aarvi would have noticed them prior, wouldn't they?

What surprised Aarvi and Aaron was, how could Leon's men successfully escape the eyes of the Shadow team and Roach to follow them?

Of course, they weren't invincible and they didn't underestimate Leon. So the couple held their weapons - stones in their hand prepared to attack.

There was no sound, so Aarvi was trying to peek and Aaron commanded, "Now…"

He went aside and threw the stone, aiming at the man's head. Aarvi aimed the knee in case the man tried to run away.

'Bull's eye'

"Ahhh…" The man groaned in pain when Aaron's stone hit the side of his forehead.

Aarvi's first stone barely hurt the man's thigh so her aim was pretty much called missed. Anyway, she knew her capability so she was prepared with another stone. Her consecutive throw hit the man's knee causing the man to fall to the ground on his knees.

She sulked for missing the first stone, muttered to herself about the rating, "Me... Zero."

Aaron didn't leave her behind to catch the man. Instead, he held her hand and tilted his head towards the water, "Cupcake, jump…" Both leaped to the water as the descending will take time and the man could escape in that time.

If the man had the intention to kill, he could have shot them when they were kissing in the water. So Aaron didn't worry about weapons.
