The Traps of Black Swan

Dax threw a huge party for the return of the President of Skylar. The banquet was also a celebration for the three more international projects they acquired. Though Aarvi and Dax felt it was unnecessary, Skylar was at a position where every action of them was weighed. And Dax was happy to see her back, so why not!?

After her return, Aarvi was on every major news channel, magazine singing praises for her successful journey. The media often bombarded Aarvi and Dax to the state, they were irritated. To avoid wasting time on them, the two chose a media company, gave them an interview. The two were likely known as two best friends into powerful business partners.

Nevertheless, Shawn, who attended their interview in the audience, wasn't left out. The Golden Trio was featured everywhere as the young Inspirers. Thus Aarvi was busy as soon as she returned to Mocon.

Meantime, Aaron didn't take over the work at the hospital. He was busy with his family, silently preparing for the winter wedding Aarvi had dreamed of.

When the couple left Mocon three years ago, it was the rainy season. For the snow-themed wedding, he could have resorted to the fake snow but it would look too artificial. Hence he didn't give the wedding. He couldn't plan in country S because he wouldn't have got holidays and bringing everyone to country S was difficult.

Nevertheless, as soon as he completed his research, he started arranging for the long-awaited wedding, had discussions with the wedding planner, and decided every single thing with the help of Megan, Shea, and Shawn. Now it was time to put all those into action.

Everything was arranged, and it looked no less than a fairy tale, the dreamlike wedding that could entice one to find a groom to get wed or get wed again with their spouse. Megan and Shea were in awe and Shawn admired the whole thing.

Shawn had scolded his brother for not giving a wedding for his Little Heart when the couple attended his wedding. He was happy for his Little Heart to get the wedding she dreamed of and proud of his brother who was capable of turning a dream into reality.

...

The next day was the wedding, wedding dress selection was kept on the spot as he had arranged most of the major styles and patterns. It was always her who gave him surprises so this was kept a secret to give her the surprise.

Hearing Aarvi was home by afternoon, Aaron returned to the Avron mansion, leaving the final arrangements for Shawn to look after. He removed his trench coat when he entered inside. The housekeeper Melia closed the main door behind him and took his jacket.

"Where is Cupcake?" He asked while he took a look at the kitchen.

Melia responded as she hung the coat on a stand, "Young Madam went to the wine cellar."

Though Aarvi's health condition was good, she wasn't allowed to drink alcohol. A monitored and very low quantity was permitted only. Hence his shoulders immediately tensed and he went downstairs to the wine cellar.

Entering the glass door, he crossed the first row of the wine rack and his shoulders dropped. His wife was sitting on the carpeted floor and looking at the wine bottles.

'Is that any kind of hobby? Staring at the wine.'

As if she could sense his presence, Aarvi turned to him. Aaron didn't get the expected smile and saw her silently beckoning him to come closer. He went towards her feeling something amiss with her aloof face and silence. She patted on the floor next to her for him to sit when he went closer.

He obliged, he sat close to her, wrapping her in his warm embrace. The wine cellar was at 13°, a colder room. She didn't evade his arms, rather, snuggled for his comfort. He asked, feeling her whole being sad for some reason. "What happened, Cupcake?" She would have asked him directly if she craved to drink wine.

Aarvi suddenly jutted her lips and pointed at wine bottles, "Those are not at all enticing me." She complained like a pitiful girl.

Aaron: "..."

She wanted those wine bottles to lure her to drink. Aaron wasn't sure how to respond to that.

She suddenly turned to face him and an alluring smile painted on her gorgeous face. Her cold fingertips grazed over his jawline as she said with an inducing tone, "You are inviting."

Aaron was inarticulate for a second. Was he worried about nothing? Did she act to seduce him? But he still felt she was sad for some reason. Was he overthinking?

Her little frame spun in his arms as she effortlessly straddled him. She continued to seduce him while sounding innocent with her question, "Am I irresistible to you or wine?" She doesn't like to drink. Men liked alcohol so she was curious.

Though she was tempting him and he was losing his control. He failed to remove the thought from his head. He felt something off with her, something was bugging her. Then why was she seducing him instead of speaking with him?

Did Shea get pregnant? Aaron thought if Aarvi was sad that she wasn't pregnant yet. He brushed off the thought immediately, she wouldn't be so impatient as it's been only two weeks. She would rather celebrate instead of being sad.

He couldn't point out, he slowly tried to divert without making her feel embarrassed, "Cupcake, it's two in the noon." His voice trailed when her lips were barely at the hairbreadth and her breath grazed his skin.

Her soft lips pressed at the corner of his lips and her hand began to lose his rational thoughts by running down his spine and her cold fingers curled at his nape, gently caressing him, "Is wine tempting at night?" Her enchanting tone was like a spell cast upon him.

He gave in to his wife's temptation and went with her flow, filling the wine cellar with her gasps, sweet mewls, his low grunts, carnal noises, and their names lingering in the air...

He embraced her lissom body still shuddering in the aftermath. Prepping her little flushed face, Aaron chose not to continue due to their wedding tomorrow and she might catch a cold in the wine cellar if they stayed long.

"Is everything alright?" He asked once she calmed down.

She smiled a genuine one, "Never so better." She pecked on his lips and smiled through her eyes, "I love you, Ronron." Her voice was lighter than air, very emotional, and sweet.

It brought a content smile on his face, "I love you too, Cupcake." He buried her in his embrace.

A pleasant silence enveloped them while their lips curled up. Aaron broke the silence when he lifted her and started wrapping her in some clothes to leave from there, "Are you free tomorrow?" He knew she was.

"My whole day for you." She promised.

She snuggled to his arms on their bed for a cozy nap. Her cat nap was over before he dozed off. She carefully got off the bed without waking him up. Getting fresh in Laze's room who was busy with his play partner, she left the mansion soon.

Melia ran behind her holding her warm outer coat but Aarvi left without hearing anything. Melia was tensed as she had seen that Aarvi's mood wasn't good and Aarvi wasn't the type to ignore her like that. With a jittery feeling, she continued to prepare for the dinner.

After about an hour, Aaron woke up and looked for her till he reached the kitchen, "Aunt Melia, where is Cupcake?"

Melia didn't hide her anxiousness, "Young master, is everything alright? Young Madam looked kind of.... frighteningly cold when she left the mansion. She didn't even wear her jacket and left."

Aaron's sixth sense kicked in stronger than before. He knew she was troubled with something, it confirmed hearing Melia. "How long has it been?"

Melia looked at the wall clock and responded, "More than an hour."

Aaron clenched his teeth, her mobile was on the bedside table when he got off the bed. So there was no means of connecting to her. Since her life wasn't in danger, she didn't have bodyguards unless she was attending any event.

Though he didn't want to panic, he just couldn't stop worrying about her. He controlled his expression quickly when he saw Melia was worried, "Aunt Melia, everything's alright, she must have gone to the company." His assuring voice calmed Melia while he couldn't convince himself with that.

He quickly went upstairs to get changed. Meanwhile, he dropped a message in the messenger group asking if Aarvi was with them and he couldn't reach her.

Everyone replied,

[Dumdum left office at 1.]

[Not here, bro.] Shawn was at the wedding venue.

[Aarvi isn't at home.] Shea meant the Rivas mansion.

Nikun, who was in the city to attend the wedding. He sent an angry emoticon, with a text, [Professor Rivas, she isn't a little kid. Her mobile battery must have run down. Relax.]

Tia and Zara responded too. Aarvi wasn't with them.

Zain didn't respond in the group and dialed Aaron directly. Zain knew Aaron wouldn't ask for a silly reason. "What's wrong, Aaron?"

Aaron grabbed the car key and went downstairs responding to Zain, "She was little off in the noon. She put me to sleep and went somewhere leaving her mobile at home. My housekeeper said'¦"

Zain cut in and summarised, "She is going for a final hunt."

Aaron realized he and Zain were thinking the same, "We need to find her."

They didn't have a problem with what she would do to anybody.. They didn't want her to be alone when she will be done.
