The Traps of Black Swan

Her team knew how cold Aarvi might appear, she valued everyone's life, it might also be the men who work for Leon. So something happening to her close ones would shatter her.

Aaron wrapped his hand around her shoulder. He tried to calm her, give her hope, "My team is searching for Dax."

Her team members continued without making her too panicked, "The car is in bad shape but CEO Grant isn't at the scene. It was like… The car was moving without a driver… We are still searching for him." Their doubt was Leon's men taking wounded Dax away. "CEO's mobile is in the car so we are trying to see who took CEO Grant away."

Aarvi felt like she should have ordered Dax to stay put at the cost of a good relationship. Then he would have been safe.

"Where is Leon Harmon?" She asked, waving her hand at Esme who looked extremely worried about them.

Milo Wen patted his wife's arm. "Don't worry. Everyone will be safe. Young Madam is very smart, she will have her ways."

Esme glanced at Aarvi's back. She had seen fear in her but more than that her resolution was too strong and her quick reflexes were something unimaginable for her.

"Give me a call when you can. Go, go…" Esme gave him a gentle push to avoid causing any delay.

Milo Wen was always glad Esme was understanding and never stopped him. He left hearing Esme's manager speaking in a low tone, "Did Ms. Eva… President Evans, Cry? Her eyes were red." There was a hint of worry as Aarvi had met the manager when Esme was training Aarvi with acting skills.

Milo Wen caught up with three who were leaving the airport in low profile. The exit took a little longer as it was the general arrival gate. Roach quickly went to the taxi parking lot, he changed his uniform and brought the taxi in front of Aaron and Aarvi. 

Soon three left without the eyes of Leon's men on them. Leon's men heard the chauffeur of Rivas Industries speaking over the mobile, "Oh, did only Movie queen return? What about Young Master and Young Madam?... They should have told me if they stayed back... Okay, okay, I will go back."

At Harmon mansion,

Leon frowned hearing the car left without any passengers. To confirm Aaron and Aarvi weren't taking the car from mid-way, his men were following the car. Soon Leon got another call and informed him the helicopter left without passengers. 

"No no no… Ava tricked us again… We are missing something. Did any passenger flight arrive from Palm island?" He questioned the man who was at the airport.

"President Harmon, the passenger flight reached one hour before. But it was routed from Mocon so the flight must have left more than three hours before. The project manager had told us that the couple was on the beach at that time."

Leon was desperate to put an end to Aaron and Aarvi, hence he had carefully planned. He wanted prey to create a trap to bring everyone out. Dax had left the office in the morning and didn't return to the office so Dax overruled Leon's first plan. 

Hence, Leon activated his second plan. Shawn became the victim and that helped Leon to bring each one out. As he expected Dax came out, Aaron and Aarvi left the dinner, however, Zain was still unfound.

Just when Leon thought Dax's chapter closed, Dax went missing. It only meant he had no pawns in hand yet. Thinking of Aaron and Aarvi, "Who is at the general arrival gate?" Leon asked to confirm the coupe didn't take that way.

"Err… President Harmon, why will they go to another end of the airport. Isn't it time-consuming?'

Leon cussed hearing it. "You scoundrels, do you want me to say where to stand? Fucking bastards" He had told them to keep an eye on every exit. He was sure Aarvi and Aaron would have escaped from Airport.

He hung up the call. Checking each and every car on the road was stupidity. So he called his men who were keeping an eye on the club. 

Leon was still confused, the call he or his men should have made to the cops was done by Shawn. So Leon was dilemma if the game was in control of him or had fallen to Aarvi or Aaron's hand already.

He asked his men to search Dax quickly and bring him to their secret villa. Now they need to wait for Aaron and Aarvi to appear publicly and attack at the right time. If possible, he didn't want five to see the sunrise, or else, Aarvi and Aaron's chapter to end. If nothing worked, he wanted to control Aarvi and Aaron with one of the five under his control.

At the club, 

Aarvi had to choose between looking for Dax and reaching Shawn. Zain assured her Dax wasn't under Leon's men as they were also searching for Dax, he had asked some of his known men to look for Dax as Aarvi repeated to Zain to be undercover.

Hence she reached the club and ran inside. The cops tried to stop her but let her get inside when they identified she was president Evans, co-owner of the club.

The higher-ups were about to stop Aarvi, when Clark William stopped them, guessing she was trying to reach Shawn. 

Tia took charge of reporting Aarvi about the case, hiding her worry about Dax. matching the pace of Aarvi's fast walk, she was loud enough to reach three sets of ears. "The type of drug found here is the same as the drug we found in the restaurants under the Skylar. Chief William voluntarily took the case as we are also sure Leon is targeting you. He had taken control and found the culprit as there is no proof yet to prove it's Leon. Your name as co-owner is kept down as it will cause another commotion… We need a statement from Brother Shawn but he isn't opening the door, Manager isn't letting us get in before you…" 

Aarvi paused in her footsteps when she was just five steps away from the room door where Shawn had locked himself.

"Could we give a statement tomorrow? Shawn isn't feeling well."

Everyone looked at Aarvi questioningly. They couldn't understand how Shawn was feeling unwell when he was enjoying dinner before everything.

Tia glanced at Clark William before looking at Aarvi, "It is possible only if we see him unwell."

Clark who noticed them paused without being Shawn out, he proceeded to them. "What's wrong?" Then he nodded at Aarvi, "President Evans?" He had already received vast clues and data about the drugs dealing by Leon. They weren't able to talk as Aarvi was busy.

Tia responded, turning to Clark, "Brother Shawn isn't well. So Sister Aarvi is asking if he could give a statement tomorrow."

From the look on Aarvi's face, Clark could tell, Aarvi wouldn't let them enter the room easily. He could demand but he chose not to as Aarvi would anyway have her way by hook or by crook.

"How about President Evans show Shawn Rivas over a short video call?" They couldn't possibly break the laws.

Aarvi bit her lip before she nodded in acceptance. "Thank you."

She dialed Tia's number as she rushed to the door. Lauren handed the spare key that she was holding safe. "Thank you, Lauren. I am sorry for all the trouble."

Lauren shook her head and smiled before she moved away.

Aaron cupped Aarvi's head, making her face him. There was a hint of uncertainty after he came up with a theory thinking through Aarvi's worries for Shawn's reaction. 

"Does Shawn have a history of drug addiction?"
