The Traps of Black Swan

At Harmon mansion, 

Leon was sitting on the rocking chair, sipping his vintage scotch, celebrating the kidnap of two brothers. He felt so satisfied to hear the good news. 

He knew he could have done this a long time ago. Initially, he didn't know Aarvi was with Aaron. Then he underestimated them as Aaron was doing nothing to him. Then he realized Aaron was supporting his wicked wife to be stronger. Now, he could give the best end to everything and enjoy his life.

He stayed in the mansion so that Aarvi could reach him, kneel in front of him, surrender to him, weep and beg him. He was craving to hear her begging him for the life of two brothers and in return for two brothers, he would take her freedom. 

Aarvi had no idea, Leon had already instructed his men to let in the car which will have a beautiful girl, probably seething in anger or crying her eyes out. 

Whenever he recalled her blank gaze slitting his throat, he still felt goosebumps rise on his body. But he didn't want to kill her, yet. That was his second choice. First and foremost, he wanted to make sure his body reacted to her. If did, she was going to be his perfect sex toy to play with. 

He had also arranged a special room for it. It had nothing but just a bed. Why? He feared she might use any object in the normal room and kill him. He wanted to take no chance.

If she was of use to him or not, he would get Rivas Industries, Skylar Industries, and Kelly International through her. What if he couldn't have Harmon Industries, he would make sure Harmon Industries go bankrupt after leaving it to Aeon. Then he will buy it and own everything. 

Open eyes, he daydreamed of sitting on the peak of the food chain. He wanted to be like the king of the medieval ages and live a lavish life. 

Unfortunately, the Evans family was out of his mind. 

----

In front of Harmon mansion's tall iron gates, a car came to a halt. Aarvi had shifted to the passenger seat and Aeon was in the driver seat. She planned that Leon's men wouldn't stop Aeon. She could easily go inside and torture Leon till the backup arrives.

So Aeon was a shield yet, he was just a gate pass to her.

The guards looked at Aeon and greeted him with a hint of surprise to see him in such an expensive car, "Second Young Master…" His gaze fell on the passenger, "You are here with a lady!?" A man with a well-built physique spoke, eyeing Aarvi. 

"Watch your eyes." Aeon's cold voice rang, warning the guard when he noticed the lecherous gaze on Aarvi.

The man knew how important Aeon was for Leon so he quickly looked away and reported, "President Harmon would be meeting a very important lady tonight. He asked none to disturb him."

Not just Aarvi, Aeon was quick to guess who was the important lady the guard mentioned. Aarvi discerned Leon's plan. He expected her to reach him as soon as Aaron and Shawn would be kidnapped. 

'Is he expecting me to beg?' Aarvi thought with an alluring smirk carving on her face.

She turned to the man who was trying his hardest to gaze at Aeon, stealing glances at her. She flashed that man a smile that made the man slightly blush and try to appear cool, 

"That's me," Aarvi told him who the lady was.

Aeon: "..."

He knew she was acting yet he could help but stare at her in wonder. 'But, why is she acting?' He thought.

Aarvi's voice continued, "I have some more guests behind us. Please let them in."

Aeon understood why she chose to speak. Now Aarvi's men don't have to sneak inside.

As though hypnotized, the guard responded to her, "You are our beautiful guest." He imagined the car behind them filled with more exquisite ladies. "No need to be so polite." He flirted ignoring Aeon's warning.

Aeon's jaws dropped. He took a few seconds to speak when the gates were opening, "I think I am still useless." He wasn't useful as a gate pass either.

Aarvi half shrugged, "As history says, beauty and seduction always work on these kinds of men." 

She believes and always believed the true beauty wasn't on the face and figure that fades away. But the world doesn't see the same. 

There was amusement and disbelief in Aeon's voice, "Seduction!!?" He wanted to ask if she had any plans to seduce Leon and play him.

She just used a saying she heard a long time back. In the books of history, kings and their court men always became the victims of the beauty and seduction of women.

Hearing Aeon point seduction, "A wise woman knows when and what to use." 

In her mind, 'My seduction is only for my darling husband.' She thought.

Her thoughts broke when another man blocked the way and started arguing with the first man. She rolled the window down at her side to hear the conversation.

[Boss said it's only a girl.]

[He didn't mention only. We can't stop other guests. And the Second Young master is with her. If boss hears any complain, he will torture us to death.]

[We can't let them go without permission. Call, Boss, and ask.]

[You call him.]

[You attended them first, you call him.]

Aarvi's lips twitched hearing his men so scared to speak with Leon. She had no time for this nonsense. So she called Leon from the second sim which Leon knows.

Leon answered the call too quickly. [Oh my, so eager to reach me.] He sounded entertained.

Aarvi monotonously spoke, "Ask your guards to let me in." Without waiting for him to say he will make a call, Aarvi continued having control over the situation, "I will turn on the speaker."

At the other end. Leon's face darkened. He had already instructed them to let the girl enter inside. He gritted his teeth in annoyance. Now he thought he should have said the name.

"Excuse me, your boss is on the call," Aarvi called those men but appeared like she was casual.

Those men stuttered when they got close, "B-b-boss…"

Leon's voice was murderous and cold, snarling at his men, "You bastards, How dare you defy me? Let her in, now."

Aarvi quickly ended the call before those men spoke about Aeon or the other car.

Those men identified Leon's voice and immediately got out of the way. Aarvi cued Alex to follow them before taking her hand inside and rolling up the window.

Aeon asked as the car went closer to the mansion, "What's your plan?"

Aarvi was looking at the rearview mirror. She watched Alex and others alighting the moving car and quickly spreading out to enter the mansion through different entries.

Aarvi glanced at Aeon and focused on getting into a character of, "Cry and beg him to let go of my husband and brother-in-law."

Aeon: "..."

He could feel the heartache, anger, and vulnerability in her voice.

Could he try again and ask her to join his crew? He wouldn't mind giving every best script to her.
