The Traps of Black Swan

Aarvi knew well about the power of Leon Harmon and the image he had created around himself. The higher you are with fake images, it is easier to break down.

So to crumble it forever between brothers, she wanted them to get face to face and release the news during the right time else Leon would make up new stories for the same.

Leon didn't get to defend himself when his hands were pressed on the floor by Aeon who roared like a lion, "How dare you drug my Amiah and sleep with her?"

He swung his fist harder than the previous time, "What had she done to you?"

For every punch, he asked a question, "You knew Amiah was my life."

"How could you do it?"

"She suicided because of you bastard."

"You ruined her life with mine."

"How could you think of sleeping with your own brother's girlfriend?"

"You animal!"

The director, his assistant, and Leon's secretary understood why Aeon was beating Leon but they couldn't believe Leon having an affair who loves his wife like a priceless treasure.

Dylan who brought coffee threw the tray away and locked Aeon from behind separating him from Leon. Aeon kicked Leon as he was dragged away by Dylan as he scowled at Leon, "I will kill you moron."

Dylan shouted at Aeon's secretary, "Call the security now."

Leon's face was covered with blood and bruises. He was feeling dizzy trying to sit, Aeon pounced on him releasing himself from Dylan and again rained punches on Leon.

"You took my life and I will take yours."

"I will kill you. I don't care even if I go to jail, you scoundrel."

Dylan failed to hold Aeon and quickly security helped him to separate Aeon and Leon.

Dylan helped Leon who had fainted by the attacks and arranged to hospitalize him without daring to say a word to Aeon who wouldn't stop himself attacking him without thinking.

Aeon couldn't release himself from the four guards and started crying apologizing to his dead ex-girlfriend, Amiah. "I'm sorry Amie, I'm sorry. I failed to protect you. I failed to protect you from the beast. I'm sorry Amie..."

Quivering, Jayce didn't dare to move from his place. He couldn't understand how anybody could get Leon and Amie's pictures. One could easily say, Amiah was drugged in the pictures and was taken out of the club by Leon. In other pictures, Leon was nude looking at Amiah's naked body on the bed which was blurred.

Jayce was sure, the pictures were captured by the next room balcony and he was in the room once Leon left. He prayed Aeon shouldn't get his pictures, else everything was going to be destroyed by Aeon who doesn't care about anybody right now.

Aeon cried for a long time without caring about Leon then he stood up determined to save Amiah Entertainment at any cost.

He didn't care about Jayce and left for Amiah Entertainment making some calls.

Aarvi knew Aeon was going to get hurt but what he was feeling was nothing compared to what she went through and she felt it was necessary that Aeon should know the truth behind his girlfriend's suicide... correction, murder by taking her self respect and destroying her confidence.

--- In Skylar International ---

Dax opened his arms after hearing about the girl, "Come here, you will feel better."

Aarvi chuckled but still obliged. Even though she hugged him, he didn't. He caressed her head saying, "Yeah Yeah I know, you just show yourself as stone-hearted but you are silently feeling sorry for Aeon Harmon and his dead girlfriend."

It was true but she never would let it affect her plan, "Whatever."

Dax curiously asked remembering his girlfriend, "Honeybun, do you want to meet my girlfriend? She is very curious to see my boss." Curious to the level, she keeps yammering about her.

Aarvi shook her head backing off, "I am not sure what I am going to do after dealing with these people. I might disappear without a trace so no need. I don't want more people to know 'Aarvi Evans' exists."

She hazily said going to her seat but Dax clutched her arm and turned her around to face him, "What the hell do you mean by that?"

Aarvi flinched by the pain and frowned, "Dax."

Dax left her arm and forcibly calmed down himself, "Aarvi Evans, don't even think about leaving everything and disappear."

Aarvi realized she shouldn't have told him about it seeing him extremely serious, she laughed awkwardly. "I was kidding."

Dax spat back instantly, "You weren't."

Aarvi's face turned cold and tried to leave but Dax held her back and his voice turned almost pleading. "I don't know why you are planning to leave but don't make a rash decision. Be good, everything will be alright. Okay? You have us here, you have your company, your employees, you can't just abandon us. Please..."

Aarvi looked him in the eye but didn't speak a word.

Dax wrecked his brain and joked, "How about I get married and adopt you as my daughter? You can't leave us at that time."

Aarvi: "..."

24-year-old girl having an adopted father of 24 years old?

"People will think I'm your sugar baby. Eww, get off of me." Aarvi stood far away glaring at him.

Seeing her change in reaction, Dax breathed a sigh and seriously said, "Dum Dum, promise me you will not do anything stupid like running away from us. I will not look after the company if you leave us."

Aarvi nodded but she wasn't sure about herself either. She had thought to join the military but she couldn't. So she planned to leave the country and settle somewhere with a new identity and live alone without being anybody's burden.

Even though Dax saw her agree he wasn't relaxed. Once she finishes her game, he is ready to do anything to keep her around them.

...

Aarvi was tapping her nails on the desk in deep thought thinking about whether to meet Sean Harmon or not. She sprinted in front of the reflecting glass and asked, "This dress looks too professional, isn't it?"

Dax peeled his eyes away from the laptop screen and saw her. He nodded promptly, "It's a formal dress Dum Dum."

Aarvi nodded but she didn't have any dresses in the Skylar. She opened the messenger where her designer had sent her pictures of her new dresses.

She selected a short dress that had ribbon ties on full sleeves. "How is this? To visit the hospital, I should look worried, concerned, and fragile."

Dax chuckled and asked a question which he was curious about, "Why do you maintain two different personalities for two brothers?"

Aarvi messaged her designer to send the dress as she responded, "Aeon Harmon is looking after the company and I need to control him by the power. He doesn't fall for cheap tricks. Whereas Sean Harmon wants beauty with no brains. Thankfully my parents at least have good genes and I got a pretty lovely face."

Dax laughed hearing her and seeing her make cute faces, "Evil schemer." He was sure Sean's heart would melt seeing her cute.
