The Traps of Black Swan

Even though Maisie wanted to tell the world that Aarvi Evans is her daughter so that she could have her money and wealth, she still hated Aarvi to her core and what she was doing was pure slander. What if Aarvi had money? She still wanted Aarvi to lower her head and treat her like a mighty mother.

Hence "Stop acting, you... jinx." She said through her teeth and the last word trailed away. She didn't want to ruin her image.

Nevertheless, the couple had no intention of seeing her play. Ignoring her, Aaron wrapped his hand around his wife's shoulder as though he was expecting the woman to pounce on his wife to hurt her. He kept his poker face, "We don't have to keep the memories of questionable people, my wife."

Aarvi hummed..

"Captain, please go ahead." He gave permission for the cops to question Maisie while Aarvi was hiding her helpless smile. She really didn't want this kind of ending with her mother. She had bought the house thinking they would lead their life repenting their actions.

People don't understand her kindness. Sigh.

Mr. Watson had no inkling of their acting. He was elated that the power couple will definitely do something in his favor.

Maisie couldn't hold back anymore, She yelled at the couple looking at cops approaching her, "Did you buy all of them with your money? You witch, how dare you say you don't know me? Now that you have a rich husband, are you shunning and torturing us? I am your mother… I gave birth to you…"

The lady cops held her and pushed her to the chair. The police captain patiently cut off her words, "Madam, if you cooperate, we can solve this smoothly. Else you will have to learn our language." He meant they will interrogate with some torture.

Maisie swallowed hard. In the past, she never thought anybody would hit her, but after Megan and Jordan's visit, the fear of pain had deep-rooted in her. But she forgot to tie her tongue.

Mr. Watson turned back to the couple, "President Rivas, President Evans, why don't we wait in the next room?" It was more like, shall we talk business now?

Aaron gave a nod to him. He didn't want to strain his wife's ears with the screams of Maisie.

When they stepped out, Mr. Watson realized Aarvi was just putting her innocent face on. She had a beautiful smile when she looked at Aaron. But when she glanced at him, he felt a cold run down his spine. Her smile was like a warning. The next second she looked like a goddess with a soothing smile.

'Did I just imagine that?' Mr. Watson turned around and quickly went towards the next room.

Aaron who saw Mr. Watson's expressions pinched her waist to stop scaring the man. His wife was better at doing work from home instead of mixing with people and confusing them.

Aarvi puffed her cheeks before her eyes fell on the restroom signboard. A glint of mischief flashed in her eyes. She questioned him damn seriously, "Ronron, who do you want? He or me?" 'He' is Mr. Watson.

Aaron was perplexed by the question. It doesn't have to be asked when she already knows the answer, "No doubt, it's you, always." He lifted his hand to poke her head for the stupid question and Aarvi tugged the same hand to take him inside the ladies' room.

Roach: "..."

He wanted to leave his job. He didn't want to guard the restroom. He badly wanted to remind the couple that they are married, not a secretly dating couple. And they don't have to use… Forget it. He didn't want to think further.

Mr. Watson, who turned around at the next room door, saw Roach standing alone next to the previous room. "Where are the presidents?"

'Making out inside your company's ladies' restroom.' He wanted to voice it. Even if he did, he knew Aarvi and Aaron wouldn't tell him anything. They were shameless after all. But he was embarrassed so he searched for a lie, "They wanted to check out your office…"

Mr. Watson stood with his hands on the hips. He was feeling his children were more obedient than these two presidents. He called his assistant, "Quick, look for Presidents and show them around. Don't leave them unattended." Then he went towards his office.

Roach pretended to be blind, dumb, and deaf.

While the couple was trying hard to keep their noise down, Maisie was voicing the truth very clearly so that cops could believe her.

"She is my daughter. Her real name is Ava Kelly. She is fooling you all." She said word for a word. "She ran away from her wedding three years back and appeared now."

The cops knew they could just shut her up by showing Aarvi's identification card. But the accusation was a woman slandering Aarvi everywhere. If she continues that act, they will get blamed for not handling properly. So they have to investigate both sides according to the law, "Let me agree with you madam, do you have any kind of proof?"

Maisie furrowed hearing it, "Why do I need proof? I am telling you she is the one to who I gave birth." Maisie retorted.

The captain and other officers looked at each other. A lady officer questioned next, "Madam, do you have any picture of your daughter with you?" Since Aarvi was a big figure, she was sure Maisie would have no such picture.

Maisie tried to recall and shook her head, "I don't have." Even in the house, they had destroyed every item that was related to Ava Kelly. A glimpse of hope appeared on her face, "My father-in-law has." Hayden has many pictures with Ava Kelly aka Aarvi Evans.

The cops again looked at each other. That means they have to disturb Hayden Kelly. He wasn't a man they could disturb whenever they wanted.  They started getting headaches, "Is there nobody else to prove Mrs. Rivas is your daughter?"

'To Prove?' Maisie didn't like that she had to prove it. However, she had no choice so she started thinking, "M-My husband. Shane, he will tell you." Maisie was certain here.

The captain believes Aarvi wasn't Maisie's daughter. So he felt like the woman was either mad or had some wrong motive. "Madam, are you doing all these because President Evans bought your house? What you are doing now is an offense." He tried to make her understand so that she could stop her drama.

Maisie shook her head. Her fury was again ticking up. "She bought the house because she is Ava Kelly, my daughter. She wants to snatch everything and torture us." She pointed to her cheeks, "She slapped me, she burnt all my clothes." That was complete truth.

The captain felt like pulling his hair out in frustration. He thought to take her to the police station and do a better investigation, "Madam, then you have to come with us to the police station for further investigation. Let me tell you, Mrs. Rivas's identity is very sensitive, you can't afford to play with them."

Maisie slapped her hands on the table as she stood up and argued, "Why should I come with you? I didn't do anything wrong. I am telling you the truth. She is my daughter. I gave birth to her. She beat me today in my house. Why aren't you believing me?... You tell me the truth, did she all buy with the money? Or are you scared to go against her?... I can assure you that she is my daughter…"

She rambled on and on, accepting for the first time in her life she had a daughter. In the past, she had pushed and kicked her daughter away saying she doesn't know the girl, she is adapted, she is charity, she is a maid's daughter, and so on. In the present, Maisie kept on stressing 'Ava Kelly aka Aarvi Evans is my daughter.' She was too late to accept the fact and there is none to believe her. Probably that's what you call karma.

You reap, what you sow.

Milo Wen finally entered the meeting room with the deadly strike at Maisie.
