The Traps of Black Swan

Dylan elegantly walked aside. He was a smart man, he knew finding 'Ava Kelly' in the crowd is impossible, and even if he gets his eyes on her, she was smart to slip away from his sight. 

So he glanced back at Leon whose reaction was too odd, 'Why didn't I know this dirty scum respects President Rivas so much?' He thought doubting if Leon had ever bowed to anybody unless he had some evil plot in mind.

Shrugging off, he could only hope Leon wasn't offending Aaron Rivas when Leon was already full with Ava Kelly's tormenting game.

Since Leon will be busy for a few minutes with Aaron, he searched for President Dawson. A self-obsessed man who loved status and money just like Leon. If he really loved his family and daughter, why would he have planned to send his daughter to hell?

A middle-aged man with a belly stood laughing proudly when others were complimenting him for the huge luxurious engagement party. 

Dylan could only sneer hearing him lie without blinking. He didn't bother searching Ava Kelly. Grabbing a glass from the passing waiter, he waited for the show to start. His gaze alternated between President Dawson and guests who were greeting him. He occasionally glanced at Leon's stiff face with forced laughter while the young man looked regal as ever.

Dylan was suddenly curious when Leon paled but President Dawson's face looked more entertaining which indicated Ava Kelly's game started.

…

Aarvi who stepped away from Aaron subconsciously touched her chest at her heart. She tried to remember how she felt when the bullet pierced her heart.

….

She should have been scared when she had looked at the handgun in Leon's hand pointing at her but she was so much in pain that she felt a relief course through her body. 

That comfort was like a boon she craved for and finally earned it. Hence that bullet didn't give her pain when she was already numb to it. 

...

Aarvi was quick to snap out to the present when she felt her eyes wet. She wore the Bluetooth earbud in her ear and her forefinger flicked off the warm tear that was about to roll down on her cheek.

Since Aaron wanted to warn Leon, the latter wouldn't have time to look around so it was the second-best time for the sane to turn insane. Aarvi instructed her team, "Plan swap."

[Dawson go.]

[120 degrees left.]

[On Position]

[Message sent]

The status of the plan was going on while Aarvi walked to her 120 degrees left as she ignored the eyes on her.

The plan with President Dawson was simple. Confuse him so much that he starts seeing Ava Kelly everywhere.

[Boss, he isn't checking his mobile.] A young man whined.

"Ring his mobile." She instructed as she watched President Dawson smugly talking with medium-scale business company presidents.

With the same, she also kept an eye on Leon standing opposite to Aaron and Dylan Harmon waiting for the show.

Dylan Harmon! Unresolved big puzzle.

"Keep an eye on Dylan. Anything suspicious, report me immediately."

The Shadow team member responded, [On it]

As soon as President Dawson saw his mobile he found no missed call as it was an online untraceable call. He laughed in an excuse, "Give me a second."

He clicked open the message and his eyes widened. His smugness replaced panic and his hands started trembling. Quickly covering the mobile screen from others, he stuttered while saying, "E-e-excuse me." And forced a smug smile that looked too nauseating.

He ran aside quickly where the crowd was less without knowing 'Ava Kelly' was right behind him.

Dylan caught the sight of Ava Kelly who looked like serene beauty but her black orbs looked lethal. He wanted to move closer and know what made President Dawson so nervous. 

A took a step but a waiter bumped into him, almost spilling the soft drinks on him. "It's alright…" He vaguely said before an apology and tried to push him away from his sight towards 'Ava Kelly' and president.

However, the man was too sturdy and didn't move an inch. Irritated, he was about to scold but the waiter smiled… provokingly.

Dylan realized Ava Kelly didn't trust him instead she was testing him. He didn't have an option, she gave him only one choice, that's just to watch her plans unfold but not react.

He waved his hand at the waiter uniformed man agreeing to the arrangements as the whole hall looked like it was under Ava Kelly's control. 

His eyes landed on Aarvi who smirked at him before looking at President Dawson who was wiping his sweat repeatedly.

President Dawson first saw the picture of him with his illegitimate teenage son and mistress. It was a candid picture which absolutely looked like a perfect family of three, Nonetheless, it gave him a heart attack.

He excused himself to call the number who sent it but the photo message disappeared when the phone locked.

When he was searching the gallery desperately, a message popped up, it was actually a fake video of him sharing the bed with his mistress in mind-blowing positions.

Aarvi heard a complaint from another end, [Boss, these two didn't let me see the video.] It was a grim girl voice.

Aarvi didn't respond, when she got to know about President Dawson's affair, she had asked to fetch a proof of it. 

Her team member had sent her the picture but for more impact, they created a fake video but didn't send it to her instead told her, 'I won't be comfortable to talk if you watch the video.' She knew it was an explicit video.

President Dawson's wife has no idea her henpecked husband has an affair and a son. 

After Sara Dawson was born, Madam Dawson's uterus was infected hence the doctor had suggested removal of the weakening womb when her bleeding hadn't stopped.

So Madam Dawson couldn't bear any more children but President Dawson wanted a son. When President Dawson was planning to convince her for surrogacy, his father transferred a good number of shares to mother and daughter. 

Madam Dawson's family is also supporting Dawson's business and they are protective of Madam Dawson and Sara.

So leaking about the news will affect his company. His wife and daughter are self-obsessed like him who will skin him alive and they wouldn't mind torturing his son.

So the family and business will lose everything from those pictures and videos.

Meanwhile, Aaron's gaze was straight on Leon who was giving him an affable smile due to hypersensitivity. If not others, he had thought Leon to be smart to weigh before offending him.

Putting on an air of dominance, Leon composed his bearing and faced Aaron, "Doctor Rivas, what a surprise!" He raised his hand for a handshake.

Aaron's brow slightly arced up in indifference watching the man without bothering to offer his hand for a handshake.

Leon gritted his teeth but laughed awkwardly curled his fingers to fist and shoved it into his trouser pocket.

"Why didn't I know I was close to President Harmon to give him a surprise?" His words were filled with irony and gaze mocking.

The two men were handsome who were catching the eyes of people around. The rest of the young man looked like pretty little boys against them.

Aaron was an inch taller and leaner than Leon who had a little bulkier physique. Both might stand top in the look chart but one gave off a noble and protective vibe while another felt untrustworthy and dangerous.

But the devious one was Aaron who had devilish charm.
