The Traps of Black Swan

Aeon hated how he reacted just because he noticed a man getting close to Aarvi. After taking his gaze away for a second, he composed swiftly and looked back at her.

Aeon understood why he was invited to the banquet hall. Aarvi successfully pulled Eliza from the beast's den and he will have to protect Eliza from Leon.

Aeon neither leaves in a secure regency nor has any top security for his safety. He couldn't understand why Sean trusted him to keep Aarvi safe from Leon and Aarvi trusted him so much against Leon.

He accepted hoping he could be of some help and it's also his responsibility. "Alright."

There was a pause, Aeon wanted to speak about Dylan with Aarvi but with Eliza next to him he couldn't alert Aarvi about him.

He could only hope he gets a chance to meet and tell Aarvi that trusting Dylan might not be a good choice. If Dylan can cross Leon, he could also double-cross for his own good.

What if Dylan turned out to be a dual-headed poisonous snake?

Aeon was thinking if he could talk or meet her some other time when Aarvi spoke smiling at Dax who was worried about her.

"It won't be comfortable for Eliza Lane and you to live in the condo. Go to the address you receive shortly."

Aeon lives in a condo because it was near to his office and suitable to get to anywhere easily from the near heart of the city.

He can afford a villa, in fact, he had one so he wanted to turn her down. Anyway, he didn't know when it's Aarvi's decision she would make it happen softly or overbearingly.

Hearing no response, Aarvi looked at Aeon before sneering, "Do you think you can get a better place than what I offer?"

Dax shook his head in resignation. The point is, even if she behaved rudely with Aeon, he was going to look for goodness in it.

He patted her head, 'My Dum Dum is still dumb.'

Pet Aarvi: "..."

Aeon understood in his own way, he assumed the regency might be secure for Eliza, "Alright." He accepted her arrangements and the call hung up without any goodbyes.

He helped Eliza to leave the banquet hall under numerous gazes after he spoke to the psychologist and took her card.

By the time he could hop on his car with Eliza, he had received the message from an unknown number that had an address and a few instructions.

He hoped he could keep Sean in check before Leon ruined him completely and Aarvi put an end to Sean.

In a presidential suite of Morris hotel,

A middle-aged man in police uniform was sitting on a single couch opposite Karsen and Megan in the luxurious living room.

The police in chief watched the whole banquet video while hearing the events from the waiter who was standing aside.

The chief shook his head at the end placing the laptop on the coffee table where the untouched water glass and coffee cups were present. 

His voice was hoarse and definite, "Chairman Rivas, we can't do anything about this. Unless Madam Harmon files a domestic violence complaint and also gets the proof of Leon's behavior, we can't detain Leon Harmon."

The chief glanced at both Megan and Karsen who were worried for an unrelated lady. He signaled the waiter to leave from there before continuing his words.

"Chairman Rivas, Madam Rivas, I suggest you stay out of Leon Harmon's personal or business life." He spoke for the wellness of the Rivas family.

Megan and Karsen looked at each other. Karsen is aware that Leon wasn't as good as he shows but didn't expect the police in chief to speak that way.

Megan asked, not quite liking the chief's behavior, "It's about the life of a woman. We have to help her and save her life."

The chief sighed at the naivety of Madam Rivas. He glanced at Karsen who was trying to understand the situation so he addressed Megan.

"Madam Rivas, Leon Harmon isn't a simple man. The whole administration and the higher authority is totally aware of his unlawful acts."

He pinched between his brows before continuing. "The law needs proof for everything or self-proclamation. Whenever we find anything odd and reach Leon Harmon, there would be another man to take the responsibility or he will..."

Karsen shook his head at the chief to stop explaining to Megan. He was already worried Aarvi might fall into trouble saving Eliza so he didn't want Megan to face anything.

He was ready to be called selfish but nothing comes first to him other than his family and their well-being. He had no wish to be called magnanimous.

The chief in police paused respecting Karsen's choice and stood up, "If nothing, I will get going." He just nodded at them and left.

Megan stood up to ask him to complete his words but Karsen held her back. "Honey, he..."

Karsen cupped her face to look at him before asking patiently, "Will you let Aarvi face the problem if you know she will be in the problem?" He chose Aarvi's name as she is the only lady in the Rivas family other than Megan.

Megan didn't respond but understood the intention of Karsen. Jordan always taught them to keep the family ahead before helping society so she didn't worry Karsen more and nodded her head.

Karsen breathed a sigh of relief and embraced his wife who was sulking for not being able to help.

"What about GiggleMug?" She asked as Aarvi had accepted she was the reason behind the revealing of Leon's true colors.

Karsen didn't know Leon actually knows Aarvi aka Ava Kelly is behind everything. He responded what he understood looking at them in the banquet, "Aarvi is helping Eliza Lane but inconspicuously, And Aaron will keep her safe. Don't worry."

Eliza hummed before relaxing herself. She was sure Aaron won't let anything happen to Aarvi especially after he saved her from near death.

"It's already a miracle Aaron could keep his Cupcake safe. He won't mind going any extent for GiggleMug." Megan voiced her thoughts leaning in his embrace.

Karsen hummed while his thoughts were actually on the Aarvi's brutal state three years back. He was guessing her situation might be because of Leon. 

If yes, why didn't Aaron take action yet?

He knows Aarvi would definitely try to avoid speaking about it with them afraid of stressing them out, so as Aaron. But Karsen felt the need to speak about it with Connor so that he could be of any help to them. 

Karsen suggested Megan to rest in the room but she chose to be with him and went to the banquet hall.

In the banquet hall, it took a long time for people to digest everything and take their seat. Some probed to reschedule the banquet, however, a few actively spoke about the issue and recommended to continue the banquet respecting each other's time.

Most of the businessmen and businesswomen preferred the same day as their time is indeed precious and they are also the main supporters of the banquet.

When the things settled down, they noticed Aaron and Twyla were not there in the hall anymore. They had looked forward to seeing how much the special guest of the banquet could contribute to the cause. 

Some wanted to meet her for business purposes and some wanted to take advice from her but it was too late.

The person they wanted to meet was holding her head sitting in white Rolls Royce Ghost next to the handsome man.
