The Traps of Black Swan

Chapter 40 - Trust!



Aaron almost wanted to throw him a punch but controlled himself and ran out, "Cancel the licenses of all those nurses and fire the butler."

Aaron regretted not listening to Aarvi. She had repeatedly told him that she will stay in the penthouse but he wasn't ready to leave her alone without anyone beside and Shawn wouldn't be present.

Communication networks were overloaded in the city to get any call through easily.

Secretary Wen followed Aaron closely to protect him and to keep him updated about the situation. "President Rivas, Rivas security team will reach there in five minutes with necessity required. Got a message that water has reached the road."

Aaron hopped on the car to the driver seat so that he could ask the clear free road which was only open to ambulances.

Secretary Wen had squeezed his eyes shut in fright seeing Aaron speed crazily in the rain and the dark. He just prayed nothing to happen to Aarvi else he wasn't at the state to face Aaron.

Aaron was like mercury. If you keep him cool, he wouldn't say a single word and doesn't care about small mistakes but when it's about Aarvi, his level-headedness or calmness changes indefinitely.

Aaron was at least glad that the waterfront villa wasn't far away and ordered, "File a complaint against the Dreamline builders for building town plans near the river and against the local administration department for permitting to build houses near the river."

Secretary Wen heard this order the second time. Aaron had ordered when Aarvi bought the villa dangerously near to the river just 100 meters away. But Aaron had called it off when Aarvi liked in and around the villa.

"Noted, I will move forward with the complaint first thing in the morning." Secretary quickly mentioned in the tab he had in his blazer inner pocket.

At Waterfront villa

Aaron reached by the time Rivas security connected portable stairs directly to his room from the road. Since there can be snakes or other poisonous water animals that could be present in the villa, they had chosen the best way possible.

Aaron didn't allow guards to go inside to avoid panicking Aarvi if she was sleeping. He climbed up and broke the floor to ceiling window locks. Quickly entering his room, he went to Aarvi's room to see Laze circling on bed uneasily and Aarvi was sleeping peacefully.

He couldn't understand why her sleep pattern had changed drastically in a few days. From the time she woke up from a coma, she was a very light sleeper but from a few days, she sleeps without getting disturbed by anything.

He first took care of Laze and woke up Aarvi. A cold touch on her skin jerked her up in seconds moving away from the source.

Aarvi furrowed her brows seeing Aaron soaking wet in the surgical gown. "What's wrong with you? Don't you feel cold?"

Having no idea about what he had gone through in half an hour, Aarvi quickly pulled out a new set of towels from the mini wardrobe and passed it to him. "You will catch a cold."

Aaron wanted to see her fine and his heart rested at ease after seeing her. He took a towel and asked, "Aren't you getting any dreams now? Your sleep pattern is changed."

Aarvi mentioned what she felt the changes as her mind mulled over why he woke her up to ask that, "After medication, I quickly feel drowsy and dreams, I'm getting but not the darkroom."

Aarvi saw her Laze wasn't in her room. It was too lethargic to go out of the room and she couldn't understand where it went, "Laze... Laze..."

Aaron held her from running around, "It's in the car." Then he went to her walk-in wardrobe and pulled some jackets while Aarvi asked, "Why is Laze over there? And what are you doing?"

"Look out of the window."

Aarvi quickly went near the balcony window while Aaron helped her wear the jackets from behind seeing her mouth wide open looking at water reaching more than four feet near the wall. Something flashed in her mind and ran towards the door, "Butler and maids...."

Aaron was quick to react and held her back. One who was appointed to take care of her was worried about the one who ran away. He pulled the jacket hoodie on her head and cupped her face seeing her deep frowns, "They are safe."

Aarvi could make out his changes. He was content, he was hesitant and he was also worried. She subconsciously nodded and understood that he was there to take her as soon he got to know about the flood hence he was in the surgical gown without changing.

Aaron continued in hesitation. He knew forcing her would only revolt her back so he was as gentle as he could be, "We will go back home..."

Aarvi knew which 'home' he was talking about, "Avron?"

Avron, a huge modern glass mansion built on Severly hills in the outskirts of Mocon. Aarvi doesn't remember why Aaron's mansion is named Avron which was actually the name picked by the fifteen years old Ava.

Ava & Aaron - Avron

Most of the features of Avron was exactly the way Little Cupcake had described when Aaron had asked her how she would like 'The home' to live with him. Aaron had asked to build it two years prior he returned to Mocon.

It wasn't that Avron wasn't good or far, she doesn't like the feeling of staying at somebody's place which she can't say as 'my place.' Seeing him concerned, she couldn't make herself say 'No'. Her mind wanted to object but somehow nodded looking at his gaze.

Aaron had thought she would not agree and might ask to go to Skyarc. He wasn't sure if she agreed for the time being to stay at Avron or she will stay there later but for now, he was delighted to know she will stay with him.

Aarvi saw him silent for a few seconds hence she poked him and said, "How are you going to treat others if you catch a cold?"

Aaron nodded with a faint hardly visible curve of lips. Grabbing her mobile, he held her hand and went to his room. He changed quickly in the walk-in and went to the balcony where Guards and Secretary Wen were anxiously waiting.

Glancing at the wet slippery ladder, Aarvi saw Aaron's extended hand at her, "Trust me."

Trust!

Only she knew how badly she had controlled herself from stopping him from going to the hospital in the afternoon. She knows she trusts him, she trusts him more than she should and that actually scares her thinking what if she gets attached to him way too much.

'Or am I already attached to him?'

She doesn't feel it right between a doctor and a patient.
