The Traps of Black Swan

At Kelly international,

While the Rivas family was pulling off each source of income from Shane and Maisie, Hayden Kelly who reached the office got the news Jordan Rivas was at the Kelly Villa.

Hayden didn't worry even the slightest. It would have been very easy for him to bring Shane and Maisie on the road but Aarvi had more right over it than him. Her success was the biggest face slap to her parents. He had waited for his granddaughter to return and teach her parents instead of the Rivas family. It wasn't like he had a complaint.

Since Jordan and Megan were at the Kelly Villa, he understood the Rivas family got to know about her real identity. That meant, they accepted her and stood for her. He thought his granddaughter might be repulsive to even look at Shane and Maisie in the face.

Just the previous day he got to know from Zain that Aarvi recovered all her memories, there were no more complications with her health, and got married to Aaron. Hayden was delighted the whole day, announcing the bonus for his employees. He was glad that Zain was with her to support her as her family. 

So he didn't bother to help Shane and Maisie, in fact, he instructed his assistant and secretaries to ignore the calls from them and Jose.

At Kelly Villa,

Zain was the first to get the link to the live video of Aarvi in Coasta. He could guess she would have definitely planned everything in just a few seconds and she succeeded in her unexpected mission by ignoring she had a different plan to appear in public. 

He didn't think Maisie and Shane would fall to their own dug pit and call her daughter. So he shrugged off the complication that might arise.

Zain sent the link to Dax, Shawn, Megan, and Jordan who watched the whole thing while the Kelly couple continued to quiver in the corner.

Shawn went outside to speak with Dax and Aarvi when he noticed Pagani jerking to stop in front of the villa. Shawn and Jose never really spoke, he had no animosity but Aaron had told him once that Jose was selfish just like his parents and a kind of fool. So Shawn got inside the villa first. 

Everyone heard Jose calling Maisie from the gates, "Mom… Mom… Sister is alive… Mom…" His heavy panting voice repeated.

Shawn, who was leaning on the wall, stuck his leg out and tripped Jose.

"Ahhh…" Jose cried at the fall, his face flushed in pain.

Megan felt like his son was still a teenager. She had seen him trip the pursuers of Ariel if they were torturing her in the school. 

Shawn shrugged his shoulders looking at his wonderstruck mother. 

When Jose sensed the oppressing air in the living room, his back stiffened. He first thought his mother and father might already know Ava was alive until he met Jordan's cold eyes. 

Brushing his eyes on everyone, he gulped trying to hide his fright. His eyes shifted to his father who was flushed in pain and flinching timely. Then his gaze fell on the woman who always protected him. The fear was obvious on her face and Jose could feel the slight tremble in her. Jose was shocked why she didn't run up to coax him with sweet words.

Maisie and Shane, who were focused on their problems, hadn't heard Jose's words. So they didn't react.

Shawn probed for Jose to speak, "Jose Kelly, you were saying something."

Jose remembered the video he saw. He nodded vigorously as he went to Shawn and excitedly revealed, "Brother Shawn, sister is alive. Look…" He gave his mobile to Shawn as he turned to his parents. He forgot to ask them why they were scared and told them what he saw on his mobile.

"Brother Zain, Mom, Dad, my sister is alive. Do you know she is so bold and confident in the video? All are calling her goddess. She threw money in the air to divert attention and sent the ambulance to the hospital. Sister scolded those people, reporters, and also cops. She is trending everywhere. Are we going to bring her home? When are we meeting her?" He said everything in a breath and panted, eagerly looking at his parents.

Shane and Maisie were in horror before their expression relaxed. Both shook their heads in resignation. Maisie had already told him that there is a foreigner in the city who looks like Ava Kelly.

"She has bodyguards, isn't she?" Maisie asked. She thought her useless daughter couldn't have run away with a millionaire to have bodyguards. It didn't cross her mind Ava Kelly could be a billionaire.

Jose excitedly nodded, "Yeah, there are about five."

Maisie slapped her forehead, "She is that foreigner I told. And you have no sister." She gritted her teeth without knowing, the more she despised Aarvi, she would find herself in deeper shit.

Megan and Jordan curiously watched them. It was like, Jose wanted to take them and go to Coasta immediately to meet Aarvi. However, Maisie's response threw cold water into his anticipation.

Zain interjected before Jose could argue with Maisie and the latter could curse Aarvi more. "Jose." He overbearingly beckoned Jose.

Jose was a young timid man. He would surrender to the danger so he ended up sitting on the couch of Zain Kelly.

Zain patted his head hiding his revolt. What he didn't like about Jose was, Jose learned from his parents how to be selfish. Even though he treated Ava well, he focused on himself first. A gift was enough for Jose to ignore Ava Kelly.

Zain unemotionally stated, "Ava Kelly is no more." There is Aarvi Evans.

The Rivas family understood what Zain meant and Jose's face fell. He took his mobile and watched the video again, zooming the picture. He wasn't able to convince himself she wasn't his sister. He looked at Zain, "Brother Zain, is it possible to meet this girl? I-I-I really think she is my sister." He pleaded as he didn't know where to go in Coasta to look for her.

He hadn't believed his mother when she had told him about the doppelganger, but this was too much of a coincidence. "Sister and this girl both have the same chocolate brown hair and black orbs, just like ours. It's just that my sister was timid and this girl is very bold."

Shawn wanted to cough up blood hearing Jose. Ava Kelly or Aarvi Evans, both weren't timid. Shawn had got to know that when he taught her to ride a bike. He had never seen fear in her even when she had no idea how to pedal the bicycle. She appeared timid to her family because they always restricted her from every bloody thing.

For some reason, Megan and Jordan who silently heard and watched Jose, couldn't come to any conclusion about Jose. He was too skittish and he didn't care about his parents but his own dilemma. They saw Zain and Jose, both were many worlds apart. One had a very strong presence yet likable personality, another one was soft yet repulsive.

Maisie shut his son from speaking about Ava Kelly, "Shut up Jose, call your grandfather here soon."

Jose was following her orders when Zain tossed his mobile away with just a finger. Jose frowned, showing his dissatisfaction. He was about to take the mobile when his eyes laid on Jordan and Megan. He realized he forgot them.

He stuttered, ignoring his mobile, "B-brother Zain, what's going on?" The fear was obvious on his face looking at Jordan who was scarier than Hayden.

Zain smirked at Maisie before he patted Jose's head like a pet dog, "Do you know? I am writing a story of a cruel mother. Could you narrate how your mother treated my little sister?" The threat underneath his tone was very heavy.

Megan didn't bother hurting herself. Her bodyguard took the cue. She cracked her knuckles and stood behind Maisie.

It was time to reimbrse Maisie, just like how Maisie treated Ava Kelly.
