The Traps of Black Swan

Hearing Leon mention he has a different plan to attack Aaron Rivas and the Rivas family, Dylan knew Leon wasn\'t just doing it because of Ava Kelly, Leon wanted to be an invincible man in Mocon and he hated Aaron\'s guts for stepping on his pride.

Dylan wasn\'t afraid of Leon attacking the Rivas family, they weren\'t fragile to break so soon. "Brother Leon…" His annoyed tone sounded for diverting his main concern of Surgeon General.

Leon settled back on the chair and lifted the screen of the laptop. It didn\'t take long for the screen to lit up and the laptop lock screen showed the beautiful girl in white, innocence was her ornament that was glowing brightly.

Recalling the afternoon incident, Leon remembered her serene smile. Rather than grinding his teeth or being alert of Ava Kelly\'s plan, all he felt was lustfulness. 

He was trapped in the hall of mirrors making him lose his rationality, but remembering her confidence, nonchalance, and her extreme calmness, he knew he never had such a strong desire for anything but Ava Kelly.

Yes, he wanted her right beside him. Not only because of his physical desire but to use her dangerous brain.

He responded to Dylan\'s worry to keep his mind at reset, "Surgeon General is pro and expert at handling the bullets around the heart." As per the report he read about the military doctor, the Surgeon general saved numerous soldiers who were shot in the chest.

Leon pulled a file out from a locked drawer of his desk. He threw it in front of Dylan as he added about Aaron, "According to Aaron Rivas\'s track record, it was his first time handling a bullet wound."

Leon didn\'t mean to say Ava Kelly couldn\'t be with Aaron but he meant, Surgeon General can really be one to save her.

Dylan slowly breathed out gazing at Leon while he concealed his real emotions. He wanted to cross the desk, hold his hair and slam his head on the desk until he bleeds out and dies by his hands.

Well, it is not possible, before Leon could die, Dylan would be dead.

Leon again laughed at Dylan assuming Dylan worries a lot about him and the Harmon family.

Since Dylan will be the one to help him in an emergency, Leon decided to speak a little more. "When you don\'t know where the attack is from, we have to conquer from weakest to strong." 

Leon wanted to kill the general and confirm Ava Kelly didn\'t reach the funeral. And that will confirm that she is definitely with Aaron Rivas.

Dylan gave the voice after being tired of waiting for him to speak, "Alright, but my confusion is, how did you confirm Surgeon general could be keeping her safe?"

Leon\'s face turned ugly at the question. He got to know Professor Jeff, a surgeon, was in the operation theatre on standby while others performed the surgery on the secretariat. Leon threatened him to speak about the doctor on duty.

After knowing it\'s Aaron Rivas and the Surgeon general who played the important part, he had to rule out the choice of Aaron Rivas as it might raise suspicion on him. 

Thus Leon had tried to meet the Surgeon general but met with a harsh rejection without respecting his identity. 

Leon said through clenched teeth, "Because that woman has very strong morals. If she hears Ava Kelly\'s story, she will definitely go all out to help her by becoming a godmother."

Dylan cursed Leon in mind, \'Half witted man, what kind of logic is that?\'

But for Leon, if he finds any absurd logic behind every illogical fact, he wouldn\'t mind taking actions in his way.

Dylan couldn\'t get any information from Leon so all he could do there was, sitting in front of Leon and completing office work as Leon kept asking questions about the work so that Dylan doesn\'t get time to think about anything else.

For others, it looked like they were focused on the work but Dylan knew Leon was just being extra careful so that Dylan doesn\'t slip out any information about the plan.

At Skyarc Penthouse

Nikun knew Aarvi or Aaron would definitely save Surgeon General. They won\'t sit and watch Leon killing innocent people to find her.

Aaron voluntarily took the job, "I will take care of this. You should rest." He knew a lot of people who could handle the situation safely and sound so he wanted her to rest well.

Aarvi snatched his mobile away before his finger could press on the number. Leaning on Aaron, she tried to know what Leon could plan more so that she can sync multiple works together.

Aaron let her think while Nikun wanted to do the same but his mind was getting a lot of questions. If Aarvi keeps hiding from Leon, the latter will keep targeting innocents, they can\'t go and protect each one.

So he asked directly, "Aarvi, won\'t you reveal your identity to Leon Harmon?"

Aarvi looked at him for a few seconds before she asked him a whole different question, "Will you betray Aaron?"

Nikun choked on his spit hearing Aarvi. Even though she plainly asked, he knew it had far too deep meaning. 

To be able to meet Aaron at the villa without contacting him over call, Aarvi could guess the trust he had earned from Aaron and Milo Wen is too high.

But she can\'t trust anybody so easily. She won\'t be surprised if she gets to know the next minute as Nikun leaked their location because Leon threatened him with something. Thus she was confirming Nikun won\'t misuse the trust under any circumstances.

Aarvi didn\'t avert her gaze from Nikun\'s eyes while he digested the question, understanding she wasn\'t kidding. "Test me," he responded in ease, he would never do that to Aaron. 

Meanwhile, Aaron was playing with her hair lock as though it wasn\'t related to him. He is aware Aarvi can\'t trust anybody easily so he didn\'t bother meddling in. He trusted his friend so there was nothing to worry about.

Aarvi nodded and responded to Nikun\'s first question, "My identity will be out soon." First to Leon Harmon, then her family, and at last, the public.

Aarvi who always planned out alone without telling anyone let the two men hear her while she relayed instruction over a call. 

Aaron was indifferent as he wasn\'t new to her planning but Nikun couldn\'t believe she could play Leon on her fingers tips.

After some time, Nikun left to look over the Mirage banquet arrangements deciding he should never offend Aaron\'s Cupcake.

She is simply too scary.

...

Aarvi who went to wash her face and change clothes, squealed in horror, "Aaron...."

Aaron was leaning on the headboard of the bed, stretching his legs holding a medical book. As soon as her high pitch voice hit his ear, he threw the book on the bed and dashed into the bathroom without caring about wearing the slippers.

He crossed the bathroom and entered the second section where a face washbowl and mirror were arranged.

He saw Aarvi had tied her hair in a bun, changed to a simple black spaghetti dress, her hands were holding her head in frustration and her eyes glued on the reflection of her neck where the glaring red mark had a hint of purplish tint.

He hadn\'t put so much pressure and understood her skin is too sensitive. He breathed out at the realization she was embarrassed thinking Nikun and Shea must have seen it.

Lifting her off the floor, he made her sit on the floating cabinet next to the washbowl. He couldn\'t help but let out a hearty chuckle looking at her blinking innocently and biting her lips in self-consciousness.

Even though she was bold, capable, he loves the little naivety of hers.
