The Traps of Black Swan

"Thank you for the amazing evening." Aarvi modestly bowed her head, her voice did sound gratified but it clearly wasn't suiting the situation. Hence her taunt hit both the men where it should hurt. 

Aarvi merely brushed her eyes on Hayden and looked at Aaron. Seeing him take a step towards her, Aarvi was afraid he might try to keep hold of her. She wanted to be alone and didn't want to argue with him on anything so she instinctively ran out.

#She definitely looked like a bride running away from her groom.

Before Aaron could realize what triggered her, she got into the Maybach, drove towards the main gate honking repeatedly to open the gates, and sped away.

Aaron who ran out noticed her speeding, he was ready to give her time but at the same time, he was afraid too. He didn't want her to have the same fate as his mother.

If in case she starts crying while driving, he couldn't even imagine the circumstances.

Melia who ran out behind him urged, "Young Master, please bring Miss back. Young Master…"

Looking at the situation, the security head of the mansion took Aaron's cue and sent a few to get the cars out of the garage to follow Aarvi. He also quickly called the team to trace where Aarvi was going.

Aaron noticed Hayden trembling while watching everything cluelessly, "Are you happy now, President Kelly?" He scoffed, clenching his teeth, clutching his fist so tight that his knuckles turned pale and the nerves started protruding. 

Hayden gazed down. Aaron had clearly told him Aarvi wouldn't like to meet him. He even mentioned, Aarvi will see him when the time comes but of course, the old generation had their old age as a reason to argue and have their way.

Aaron stood in front of Hayden who had almost the same height as him but his old age or his desolation didn't affect his strong bearing.

"As far as I know, Ava Kelly admired you. What did you do that she didn't want to be in contact with you?" Aaron coldly asked.

Ava was closer to Hayden than Zain Kelly till her age of fourteen. At that time Zain was in boarding school and he hardly met her. 

As far as Aaron knew, she got along really well with her cousin once he completed his studies and Aarvi got her first mobile.

If Aarvi could meet Zain Kelly, why didn't she meet Hayden Kelly who loves her so much? "What are you hiding?"

She had repeatedly tried to escape from Aaron to reach Hayden at Kelly International after waking up from comatose. Then why isn't she meeting him? 

Why was she adamant about killing her own self? Was it really to avenge Leon with a new name? Then why did she ignore her grandfather and company?

The questions were never-ending but Aaron was sure there was something linking to Hayden that was causing Aarvi to avoid him. 

All the maids had rushed out hearing the noise. They witnessed Aarvi running away so they uneasily stood looking at two men waiting for Melia to call or instruct them.

Aaron noticed Hayden in deep thought. He assumed Hayden was thinking the reason behind his granddaughter's unwillingness to meet him whereas Hayden felt his suspicion might be true.

The two cars drove out of the mansion and Aaron's car halted in front of him. The driver got off aware Aaron wanted to drive himself.

Aaron left as he pointed Hayden for him. It was a silent instruction to drop Hayden at his destination.

By the time Hayden could react Aaron left the mansion in search of Aarvi who didn't have her mobile.

Hayden saw a low-end car halt in front of him and looked at Melia who was worriedly looking towards the gate. He was happy to know they were treating his granddaughter well.

He left in the car wishing his granddaughter could forgive him one day.

On the other end, Aaron drove for less than a mile when he saw his white Maybach parked aside and one of the security cars halted there desperately looking around searching for something.

Looking at the wheel marks on the road, his heart started drumming erratically. He unknowingly remembered the pictures of his mother's accident that sent shivers through his body.

Aaron didn't want to think anything horrific. He clutched the steering wheel tight as he forcefully shrugged those thoughts off. He pulled his car aside gazing at the Maybach hoping everything to be fine

As soon as he alighted the car, a man reached him and quickly reported as they walked towards Maybach, "Young Master Rivas, the situation looks like the car was forced to stop."

Aaron felt like he could breathe seeing no damage on the car meant, Aarvi didn't meet with an accident.

The man continued, "We can't find Young Madam anywhere around. There is no clue about where and how she went. And here is your mobile." He handed Aaron's mobile to him.

Holding his mobile, Aaron looked inside the car and around trying to think where she could go in the darkness parking the car in the middle of nowhere. 

'Did she call anyone?' He thought as he unlocked his mobile. But the thought ruled out as calling somebody to pick her was impossible in such a short time.

Going through the call log, he saw many missed calls of Zain for quite a long time but none were answered. 'Did he pick her?' He thought. 

If in case Zain was on his way to the Avron mansion he could have picked her. Zain is too protective of Aarvi and if she asks, he wouldn't mind taking her away from Aaron. And the thought of it made Aaron's heart turn cold.

Nevertheless, Aaron believed in her. He knew Aarvi wouldn't think of leaving him so he still held on to his hopes.

Another man spoke in dilemma, "President Rivas, we couldn't find any clue. What if Young madam is taken away by somebody?"

'Taken away... Kidnap?' Leon's men were following him in Coasta, 'Were they following my car here?' A thought arose.

He pressured himself to be positive and dialed Zain's number pointing at the street security camera for them to quickly look into it.

If Leon was behind him and caught Aarvi, he wouldn't mind bringing the storm into Harmon Industries and family overnight.

[What the hell! Can't you keep your mobile beside you? Why the freaking hell did you take Grandfather there?] Zain roared on the other end of the mobile.

Aaron frowned hearing him. He wasn't sure how Zain knew that so he chose to ask, "How do you know that?" He didn't have time to beat around the bush.

Zain took a breath to control his emotions. He wasn't talking with nobody but Aaron so even if he was angry he composed his tone, "I was on a video call with Pumpkin and the rear camera was on. I saw grandfather alight the car after you."

Aaron pinched between his brows understanding Zain started calling him right after he noticed Hayden but he was so lost looking at the mansion that he had left his mobile.

After a pause, Zain asked while his annoyance was very evident in his tone, "What happened when Pumpkin saw Grandfather? Where is Pumpkin?"

Aaron quickly briefed the latter part and Zain who was on the way uttered, "I saw you." And hung up the call 

Zain was taking a U-turn when Aaron's mobile rang with a different number and a beep sounded indicating a message dropped.

"President Rivas, we can't find a clue. Young Madam ran toward the city and disappeared from both the cameras."
