The Traps of Black Swan

In the morning,

Aarvi wasn't able to sleep till dawn. So when she was able to doze off, Aaron woke up. Without disturbing her, he wrote a note for her and left the penthouse to the hospital with others. They stayed low profile on the roads to avoid attention.

Shea got back to her work while Tia and Shawn accompanied Dax to go through a full-body check with the scanning of the wound.

Once they made sure there were no problems, they breathed in relief. Dax contacted his mother through a video call and spoke to his parents. 

"I need to stop these rumors. Let's go to Skylar." He carefully stood up from the wheelchair, trying his best to avoid stretching his wounds.

Shawn muttered looking at the reflection of a person on the glass, "I need to flee."

Before he could take a second step, they heard a grumpy voice, "Stop right there."

Tia saw Dax and Shawn plaster a smile on their face and turn to Aarvi. "Little Heart."

"Dum Dum, Good morning." Dax wished he could go back to the previous day and obediently listen to her.

Aarvi glared at Dax for a few seconds before she held Shawn's collar. "Second Young Master, I see you are also a cat person."

"What did you do?" Dax asked in a low voice.

Shawn grinned, "Little Heart, you were cute with my drawing… On your face." He had gone to grab Aaron's laptop when he drew on her face.

Dax chuckled, understanding why she was pretending to be grumpy. "Did you take a picture?" There was excitement in his voice.

Shawn got out of her clutch and held Aarvi away. He quickly sent the picture to a group that had Aaron, Zara, Zain, Tia, Shea, Dax with Aarvi. He also didn't forget to send to the family group, adding a tagline, 'Meow'

Aarvi was speechless, struggling against his hold. She kicked his leg making him limp as she asked, "Tia, help me."

Then the two girls made sure Shawn looked cute as a kitten. Tia helped the trio to take a picture. Shawn looked like an annoyed cat. "This isn't good to upload." Aarvi pouted.

Shawn was glad about it.

Looking at the picture, Dax got the plan for PR against his news going on about 'Dax is dead.' "Dum Dum, let's go to the MOM." He turned to Shawn, "Don't you dare erase the drawing on your face."

In half an hour, a small video went viral. Two men looked like grumpy cats with drawings on their faces. Aarvi was wearing cat ears, acting like a cute kitten.

Initially, people commented under Aarvi's post as she was missing Dax until a person pointed to the digital clock behind them which had that day's date and time which was just a few minutes ago. 

The result of Aarvi's post was better than any PR statement they could give and they also didn't get to know Dax was hurt.

Leon's overnight effort to trouble Dax's parents and affect Skylar was ruined just like that. 

Then Dax had to speak with cops about the accident. Dax reported everything excluding Leon's name. Shawn went to give a statement about the drugs case, Aarvi reached Skylar after knowing Tia would be with Dax.

Aarvi thought Leon might do something but everything was calm. And Nico hadn't contacted her yet or there was no news about raiding the illegal weapons.

While thinking the same, Dax's secretary handed a card in her office. Looking at Nico Burton, Aarvi asked to send him inside. She was glad he was alive. 

Does that mean Leon is in trouble? She shook her head to get rid of her thoughts. 

Aarvi pointed to the chair for him to sit but he stood by the desk, "No, I need to leave quickly. I just came here to alert you. Don't pull trouble on yourself that Brother Aaron would also fail to protect you."

Aarvi: "..."

She saw Nico leave after warning her. She wasn't scared about her. If it's her life in danger, she has numerous ways to reach places where she could live worry-free. She was worried about Aaron and the rest. She was only holding back as it wasn't the right time to attack Leon.

Something was missing. She thought to ask Zain or Aaron. Her team couldn't reach the forest network.

She shook her head again to disperse her thoughts. She was focusing on her work, her mobile rang. She answered without checking the caller, "Hello?"

[President Evans, I need your help to save Sean.]

Aarvi paused her work hearing the panicked voice of Aeon mentioning Sean. "What's wrong?"

[Brother Dylan told me Leon ordered his men to kill Sean in a road accident. Sean's mobile isn't allowed during class. I am rushing to the city from the shooting set. I don't know who else to contact.]

Aarvi: "..."

She wanted to stay out of the box till Friday away from Leon's reach. But the heavens had different plans for her.

First, she thought about the situation throwing off other work out of her mind. Dylan's intention wasn't Aeon saving Sean but Aarvi helping them out. 

Leon wasn't repeating his plan. He was attacking Sean to bring the other three out. As much as Sean was in danger, the other three were also in danger.

Leaving all that behind, she knew Leon was doing that to control her with the life of Harmons. They were in danger because of her. Aarvi got up from her seat and ran out as she instructed Aeon, "You stay out of this. Don't come to the city until I say so. Send me the address where Sean is present. Ask Eliza to stay in the house at any cost."

She hung up the call without waiting for a response. She dialed the Shadow team first and instructed them they needed to leave quickly. She didn't take chances about her life either.

Then she dialed Megan to ask her to keep Elder Harmon in the home as Leon could play dirty to bring Elder Harmon out.

Her team became alert to check on Sean and confirm he was indeed present at the address Aeon sent her. She didn't want to take the chance of Leon connecting Aeon through Dylan. Leon could do anything, she was aware of it.

Alex tried to contact people near the location of Sean. Since it was the area of universities, schools, he found nobody close by.

Aarvi missed her SSC Tuatara sitting on the backseat of the company car. More than that, she wanted a bike that could penetrate through the traffic easily.

On the way, she also tried to reach Sean but his mobile was switched off. 

-----

At Harmon mansion,

Dylan clenched his teeth, trying his hardest to focus on the file he had opened on the laptop screen. He was craving to hit Leon's head with something and stop his men. 

He had tried to change his plan as he could just scare them or capture Sean as he could be used later. But Leon ignored him completely.

He didn't even know if Aeon took him seriously or ignored him. When he tried to leave from mansion saying he will complete office work, Leon ordered him to do it at home in the name of rest.

Leon sinisterly smirked looking at Dylan the whole time, "Dylan Harmon... You look restless." He sounded dangerous. 

Leon watched him for a long time and realized Dylan wasn't himself. The beads of sweat were forming on his forehead and he repeatedly drank water, all the while without touching the keyboard of the laptop

Dylan: "..."

How could he forget Leon in front of him? With Dylan's life hanging down the thread, all the Harmons were in danger.
