The Traps of Black Swan

Looking at Aaron pale, Hayden realized something is off. Holding his arm, "How do you know, Ava?"

Aaron wanted to ask what happened to his Cupcake to search for her but to get the information, he had to tell Hayden how he knew Ava Kelly and why he looked for him. 

Hayden knew nothing about the whereabouts of Ava Kelly. One who never thought something could happen to her, suddenly realized how negligent he was. He was blaming himself and edgy without knowing how to search for Ava Kelly without police help.

Even though Kelly International was doing well, Hayden never invested in security other than the normal security department at the company. And he didn't have any deep connection who could help him look for her. So he was totally messed up.

Looking at the situation, Aaron knew he had to look for his Cupcake before it's too late. He wasn't sure if it was serious or mistaken or she might be around the corner but he didn't want to be negligent.

He asked for Ava Kelly's picture as six-plus years can do wonders. His little Cupcake won't be little anymore but a young lady.

Hayden gave him a picture but he didn't have time to admire it, he collected her mobile number and left Kelly International with the required information.

Aaron didn't care about anything other than finding her. He called Milo Wen, Karsen's efficient secretary, and deployed all the men from Rivas security to search for Ava Kelly.

Aaron's mother was from a military family, on his request, his maternal grandfather and uncle gave their support to search for his Cupcake without asking a single question when they heard him say, 'I can't lose her.' They understood the importance.

By the time he found Ava Kelly using extreme ways, it was late in the night. He had nothing in mind but to save his Cupcake so he totally forgot Hayden Kelly.

He saved his Cupcake but she went to a vegetative state. It had been more than a month when Hayden contacted him through Shawn who hadn't revealed anything about Ava to anybody.

Aaron admitted he had Ava Kelly as Hayden was still going in and out of the police station, hearing the taunts of cops repeating Ava Kelly must have run away with a guy.

Hayden indeed wanted to take a look at her, take care of Ava Kelly, and pay for the medical expenses but Aaron had shut him away. 

"You needed business when she needed you. I don't think you could keep her safe or fit to take care of her." 

Aaron knew he was being rude but what he gathered information was, Hayden was busy taking care of the company due to plummeted stock rate after the wedding was canceled.

After it, Hayden had tried to meet him before Shawn had informed Hayden about how Aaron got Ava and the possible danger around her so Hayden had no choice but to give up.

It was until Ava asked for a change of identity. Initially, Aaron wanted to completely wipe off Ava Kelly's identity but then he got to know from Shawn that his Cupcake isn't just a common girl. 

She was a famous investor in country S, she is the co-founder of the Highland bar and restaurant and importantly she is the sole founder of Skylar Industries which was being managed by Dax Grant in the hopes of her return.

Killing her identity will affect her ownership of everything. And seeing her becoming active and visiting Skylar, he understood he needed to show the world that Ava Kelly is no more.

So he changed her identity with the help of Hayden who gave him all the required proof. 

After that Hayden rarely contacted him and Aaron always told him Aarvi isn't ready to meet anybody. 

On Friday evening, Aaron unexpectedly met Hayden at the city Coasta airport and offered him a ride to Mocon. Since Aaron was a little busy with work, Hayden started pleading with Aaron to let him see Aarvi after he wrapped up his work.

When Aaron was adamant about his decision, Hayden begged to let him have a glimpse of Aarvi. 

Hayden always held the dignity facing anybody, so Aaron was really uncomfortable hearing Hayden beseeching for just a quick look at Aarvi. He melted down remembering his little Cupcake always praising and holding high respect for her grandfather.

He sent Milo Wen and his bodyguard and drove his car repeatedly asking Hayden to be in the car and he will bring Aarvi out for him to see. After just a look at her, he will ask a driver to drop Hayden at the Kelly mansion.

Hence he didn't speak about Hayden with Aarvi but he never had thought Hayden would go back on his words and appear in front of Aarvi. 

---

Aarvi realized she was in the wrong the whole time. She never bothered to know how Aaron managed to give her a new identity. Hayden knew she was alive before she could know she was alive.

While Aaron was handling everything behind her back, she scolded him, blaming him for bringing Hayden home.

Probably it was the thirtieth or fortieth kiss on his forehead before she hugged his head due to their position, "I am sorry. I am so dumb." Her mellow voice was laced with sadness.

She always thought Aaron was doing it for the heart in her body. Why did she even think that way? 

If he really cared for only the heart, he would have only bothered about the heart in the body and her health. Why will he help her get a new identity and go through all the trouble?

Probably she should have asked what Aaron did to find her, how he fought with his family members for the heart to save her. 

Why did she just hear her health wasn't stable and Aaron looked after her?

He didn't just look after her, she was his life that he treasured the most, the lifeline he was holding on to.

She so wished she could go back in time to comfort him when he lost his mother and sister. 

Aaron didn't brief the past to hear her sorry. He knows his mistakes and he will correct them. Seeing her getting emotional, leaning her head on his, he flicked his fingers on her head, "What are you doing?" He asked indifferently.

Aarvi pursed her lips rubbing her head but didn't leave him, "Hugging you." Her sulking voice sounded for the flick on her head.

Aaron didn't know it was also called a hug. Raising his arms, "You are holding my head, give me a proper hug at least."

Aarvi giggled seeing him ask for the hug which is usually her style. Quickly placing a pillow underneath his head, she snuggled to his arms like a little child who was in need of its mother's embrace.

Burying herself in his arms, she easily hid her tears from him. Why did she have to forget him out of all? She so wished she could have forgotten everything but him. 

If she had gone through so much as a punishment for forgetting him, if she had to endure so much to end up with him, she felt all her suffering worth it. She wouldn't mind going through another torture just to be with him.

Rubbing her little face on his chest, she wrapped her arms tighter around his waist as she thought about making him happy by confessing her love.
