The Traps of Black Swan

At the police station,

Father Fisher did his everything but found no way to bring Naomi out. He had plans to talk out with the Brown family and settle things outside but the Rivas family, he had no power against them.

Having no choice, he called his father to request him to speak to Jordan and the Rivas family to convince Aarvi and Aaron to take the case back.

After relaying all the information, he requested his father, "Dad, I know what she did was wrong but we should give her a chance to redeem. Dad we can't let our family reputation ruin if this leaks out. Please do something, please ask Elder Rivas to talk to Aaron. If you talk to him, Aaron will definitely listen to you. Dad…"

He pleaded to his father for a long time but the other end dead silent other than the sound of ragged breathing. When the voice came, it simply stated without showing any emotions, [I gave her the portion of the Fisher family properties. I have no relationship with your daughter.] Then the call ended heartlessly.

Master Fisher held his head sitting on the bench, now he understood why the old man wrote properties and transferred a sum of money to Naomi. He realized Elder Fisher took that decision after Aaron visited them at night.

Having no other choice, he urged advocates to find a way out and rushed to the Rivas mansion. He was ready to beg to get his daughter out.

Naomi was completely aware of what was going on. She remembered Aaron saying, 'You exactly know what I can do.' 

Didn't she know? She probably knew but she always thought he won't do anything to her by considering their friendship but now she realized she was never his friend.

She was just an extra piece of baggage that he was sparing a glance at.

When the cop again visited her to ask if she was ready to speak, she looked dejected while requesting, "I would like to talk to Aarvi Evans first." She didn't know why, she knew only Aarvi could solve her problem.

The cop's brows furrowed, the captain and the chief had kept the information about that name too confidential so he had no idea who she was. "I will notify the chief first. Then I will let you know."

Naomi merely nodded at him in response. The haughtiness, the hatred had dissolved. It seemed like the person she loved broke her viciously. Folding her elbows on the table, she closed her eyes and rested her head on her hands.

At Rivas mansion,

Jordan was aware of the incident and he also got to know everything Naomi did to separate them. Megan did make him feel bad for trusting Naomi over Aarvi in the beginning. She helped him to get over it.

Thinking about how Aaron got to know without Aarvi informing him, Shawn sent a video clip of the mall infirmary where Naomi used Aaron's mobile to block Aarvi.

"Naomi, she was such a good child, how could she do all this?" Jordan rubbed his forehead thinking if he judged Naomi wrongly all these years.

Megan sighed deeply before speaking her analysis, "Dad, I guess this is how people might behave if their love turns into obsession."

Jordan glanced at her hearing obsession. He now realized why Naomi always wanted to follow in Aaron's footsteps. 

"Dad, didn't you feel every girl is inefficient for Aaron?" Megan asked and waited for the answer. 

Jordan slowly nodded and continued, "Because you love him so much."

Naomi's whole life completely revolved around Around Aaron. Aarvi's appearance in Aaron's life threatened Aaron's presence in Naomi's life. The hatred towards Aarvi was admissible.

Jordan asked in confusion, "Naomi and Aaron studied in the same school, why doesn't Naomi know Aarvi is Aaron's Cupcake?"

Megan pitied Naomi here, "Our Aaron is unbelievably smart and talented, what was Naomi doing all the time?"

Jordan shook his head resignedly, "All she did was studying to match his scores. I had thought she was studious but she just wanted to follow Aaron."

Megan nodded sympathizing with Naomi who studied most of her free time, enrolled in many tutoring classes just so that she could be worthy of Aaron. 

They all had thought she was bookish and craves more knowledge so they never doubted Naomi was doing all that for Aaron.

Jordan drank a glass of water without knowing if he should cry or laugh listening to everything Naomi did for Aaron, "When did this brat's EQ reach rock bottom?"

Megan chuckled faintly. She shook her head in denial and added, "Aaron's EQ wasn't low but Naomi's ways of chasing after him were totally wrong. Instead of acquainting herself with Aaron, all she did was take academic doubts to him as a reason to spend time with him, and Aaron was solving it for her without knowing her real motive." That's the relationship they had.

Jordan was speechless. 

Till a few days back he had seen Naomi talking about the patient cases or thesis with Aaron and the latter would only focus on the subject without caring why she always looked for him for her doubts and theories.

They were talking when they got a call from the main gate security informing them Naomi's father was requesting them to meet him.

Both were already aware of why he was there, Jordan permitted the security to send them inside and noticed Megan eagerly looking at him. 

"I won't interfere in Aaron and Aarvi's decision." He cleared to her that he won't force Aaron or Aarvi to act on his opinion.

Megan followed him as she asked curiously, "Dad, you have accepted Aarvi. Haven't you?"

Jordan paused for a second on the stairs but he didn't respond. Megan got her answer and held his arm just like how she used to ask permission from him when she was newly wedded to the Rivas family.

"Then why aren't acknowledging it openly?" She sweetly asked, hoping for a response.

Jordan tapped her hand and let out hearty laughter, "You will become a grandmother soon. Look at you behave like a little girl."

Megan grinned but put on a puppy pleading face that was loudly saying, 'Please tell me.'

Jordan sighed deeply before revealing a little about it, "I have done something to Aarvi which will make Aaron hate me and leave. How can I hide it from them if I acknowledge her?..."

He was about to continue, Megan cut in confusion, "Is this the same thing which made Mom angry at you?" Mom, wife of Jordan.

Jordan's face fell but he hid every emotion and forced a smile which answered Megan again.

Megan kneeled in front of him when he sat down on the couch. She, in fact, every Rivas family member learned how to love and respect each other looking at Jordan and his wife. So they were aware Jordan misses his wife terribly but had no power to visit her.

Understanding the solution is revealing everything to Aaron, Megan tried to assure him so that he could make his mind to talk to Aaron, "Dad, put little trust and hope in Gigglemug. I promise she can convince Aaron and bring Mom back."
