The Traps of Black Swan

Thinking he can solve his family problems easily, President Dawson ran downstairs ignoring his swollen face.

Looking around desperately, he didn't see Ava Kelly so he went to the security room of the celebration hall.

He scolded, shouted, yelled at the operators who were only responsible to look if anybody fought or harmed physically. They still tried to obliged President Dawson's request but it was overwhelming when he repeatedly asked to search for a lady in black and demanded to zoom in on every other girl.

The color black is such a common color so in each camera they were finding more than five girls enjoying or talking and having fun.

After the bride and groom entered the hall, it pulled the crowd to the center so the cameras weren't capable of getting a clear picture of the vast crowd dancing in the center.

"I said, make it clear. She will be right there. She must be dancing there... Can't you understand my words?..." He kept on yelling when the video was already at the highest point of zoom.

Without being able to hold to their irritation, a middle-aged computer operator who was in security uniform stood up and dragged President Dawson to the door.

Then he slammed the door on the face of President Dawson who was threatening him, "You don't know who I am. How dare you treat him like this? Once you lose the job, you will regret offending me..."

Anyway, his nonstop blabber didn't gain him anything other than incensing himself.

President Dawson again tried to reach Leon by call but he couldn't get through. So he went to the hall and made his mind. 'I will search for her.' He started looking at every girl in the black dress.

His assistant didn't know Ava Kelly so he had no chance but to look for her. 

He was either holding the shoulder to pull the girl around, or peeked at the face of the girl. Due to his aggressive behavior and beaten up face, he frequently earned cusses or a slap would land on his face 

As though it wasn't less, when he pulled a girl who was dancing, he earned a punch from that girl's boyfriend.

Sitting behind the screen, it didn't take long for Leon and Dylan to analyze that President Dawson was searching for Ava Kelly and was getting battered instead.

Before President Dawson could ruin the engagement with his half-baked brain, Leon asked Dylan to escort him away from the hall. Then he sat and planned his next steps to get rid of Ava Kelly.

Without knowing, Leon completed one of Aarvi's checklists.

Undisturbing the engagement - Checked.

Eliza was tired of covering up for her husband, flashing everyone a polite smile while Aeon had patted Sean and Madam Dawson disregarded her husband and took care of her darling daughter.

In the Rolls Royce Phantom,

Aarvi woke up after a nap and found herself on the lap of the man whose eyes were on a tablet screen and his other hand was caressing her head making her yawn.

She was very sure either he would be reading his medicine-related papers or his mails or his office documents. 'This man doesn't think of resting. Does he?'

Aaron sensed the change in her breathing pattern and his hand paused looking at her yawn covering her mouth with her backhand. 

Her complexion looked a lot better after a little rest so he was thinking to ask her to rest a little more but the girl buried her face in his stomach on the vest he was wearing.

Aaron: "..." 

He couldn't make out why she was doing it until she whined. "Aarvi…" Stopping her from rubbing her face on the vest, he shoved the tab behind the driver seat tablet compartment. "What happened?"

Aarvi sensed the car stop and the engine turned off. Her black orbs dimmed and she blinked a few times in contemplation before sulking, "I- I want to stay away from Avron mansion for a few days." Since he had told her he would take her home, she thought they were at the Avron mansion.

Aaron had guessed it, right after he got to know from Melia that Aarvi was sitting by the stairs looking at the main door. "We aren't at the Avron mansion." He tried to keep her heart at ease.

Aarvi's eyes instantly brightened and pulled herself up without putting her bare feet down. Aaron helped her by looking at her rushing to sit to check outside and witnessed her pleased smile.

They were in front of Skyarc towers. She wasn't able to sleep for repeatedly earning the dream of her grandfather arriving at the door of Avron mansion.

For her peace of mind, to think about the situation and her plans against Leon, she really needs good sleep instead of thinking when Hayden was going to drop by the Avron mansion. 

Even though she was delighted to know Aaron understood her uncomfortableness and brought her there, she didn't celebrate yet.

She turned to Aaron and asked, "Are we going to live in the penthouse?" Her anticipated voice sounded adorable.

Aaron faintly nodded, pinching her cheek, "I have a plan for us this time." He sounded mysterious said to pique her interest and to cheer her mood.

Curious kitten finally excited and snuggled up to him as she hooked her arm around his, "And it is?" Her whole attention was on him peeking at his face.

Aaron looked at the rearview mirror, his bodyguard who was waiting for orders sensed the gaze and got off from the car. 

Aarvi who looked at the rearview mirror felt like Aaron's bodyguard's gaze swept over her with a different kind of emotion she has never seen before in his eyes.

She always ignored him and he never bothered about her. He had disliked her questions when she was asking about Aaron, but now she couldn't clearly identify if he was cautious of her or admired her.

She grumbled when the car door closed, "Your bodyguard used to be aloof, and now, he looked at me as though I am going to eat you up."

Aaron knew what his bodyguard was thinking. 

How could a lady who used to be mute for two years was silently planning to bring down Leon Harmon who is still untouchable by the military and law?

He didn't respond to her and slipped his arm from her hold before wrapping around her waist. Aarvi gasped when he pulled her on his lap and she ended up straddling him.

Aaron sounded satisfied as he locked his hands around her waist, "This is better." He meant talking face to face whereas Aarvi felt like flirting.

Aarvi took time to recover from the dumbstruck. He is getting bold with his moves and she felt herself as submissive which she didn't really prefer. She would rather be domineering to tease him.

Her body relaxed once she accepted she was sitting on his legs with her legs on either side of him. Interlocking her fingers behind his neck, her voice sounded amorous so as her seductive gaze.

"I thought we were going to live in the penthouse. It seems like you have a different plan." She mused tugging his face closer.

Truly, Aaron had no such plans. He would have pinned her on the seat right after his bodyguard left if he wanted to do anything to her. He just didn't want to strain her neck.

Looking at her mischievous eyes, he hummed in acceptance to her words while he slid his hands down her waist. Before Aarvi could slap his hands away, he held her legs and pulled her closer till their nose brushed and her breath hitched when his lips grazed hers.
