The Traps of Black Swan

Aarvi could understand Sean dazing out but seeing Aeon\'s face tensing up, she couldn\'t get why he was avoiding her eyes. 

Aeon knew what he was feeling and he hated it for feeling it for another woman other than Amiah. He disliked how Aarvi appears rarely and brings the turmoil of emotions before disappearing. 

He was annoyed how she had played him in the beginning but she was still the one who offered the hand at the end. Nonetheless, her few seconds of playing the character of his movie was what impacted him the most, and not to mention she saved him once.

He wanted to see her as nothing but a shareholder of Amiah Entertainment keeping his admiration for her acting aside. But his respect had the tinge of blooming affection which he wanted to cut short before it\'s too late.

She was about to speak, her mobile vibrated in her wallet so she pressed on her earbud to answer it and started hearing the status from her team and the Shadow team as she pulled paper towels from the tissue box and rubbed her arm where Sean had held her. 

Her first priority when he pushed her inside the room was to protect herself so she had control from reacting. Now she leisurely rubbed until her skin could forget his touch and she doesn\'t panic.

She didn\'t have plans to attend the party and had left the Avron mansion in casual wear monitoring Leon\'s movements until he entered the venue. She had thought Leon could find a way out of this marriage deal but he fell from the high regard she had for his power.

So she dropped by at the flower shop but found only one evening gown, if she came from Avron mansion, she would have worn full sleeves dress before entering the wolves\' den.

Sean gulped looking at her spotless pearly skin slowly turning red. The thought of how delicate she could be, he unknowingly rubbed his left-hand fingers remembering how smooth her skin was under his callous fingers, and let out a whisper, "Aarvi…"

Aarvi placed the tissue aside as she looked at brothers. Her eyes shifted to Aeon who was gazing at Sean, "President Harmon, are you waiting for your nanny to come and dress you up?" Her words dripped with irony which brought the bitter feeling in Aeon that helped him recover from his growing fondness towards her.

His eyes glowered at her as he grabbed the white shirt and dark blue trousers before entering the bathroom. He was then baffled at the realization that she was in his room and ordered him. He wanted to go back and retort but felt it as childish.

Due to no good insulation, a small door wasn\'t able to stop the conversation of the two from reaching Aeon\'s ears.

"Mr. Harmon, would you like to explain your behavior for shoving me into this room?" Her voice was cold and Aeon imagined her icy stare before his lips slowly curled up without his knowledge.

Sean scratched the back of his head remembering the problem. Sitting opposite to her, he tried to make her understand as though her life was in grave danger.

"Listen to me very carefully, one day Brother Leon showed me your picture on his laptop. I think it was from your canceled wedding, you were so cute in it."

Aarvi who was hearing seriously controlled her lips from twitching again. \'Could I please snap this man\'s head?\' She thought looking at him daydreaming of the picture.

Aarvi flickered her fingers to bring him to reality. Sean assumed she felt offended for calling her past self cute, "No, no, you are beautiful, hooooo…" He dragged O seeing her glare, and skipped the \'hot and sexy.\'

He quickly came back to the topic and again sounded serious, "What I am trying to say is, I don\'t think Brother Leon has any good intention towards you."

Didn\'t she know that? Leon is a person who hates her to the bones, even if she turns ash or decayed in the soil, Leon will remember her in hatred till he dies.

Even if Leon plans to forget, she wasn\'t going to let that happen.

Sean saw her unreactive unlike how she had cried in the lobby of the restaurant when she got a death threat from Leon so he again stressed the words moving his both hands, "I didn\'t want anything to happen to you so I told him I don\'t know you. You better don\'t appear in front of him… No, actually don\'t appear in front of any of his men."

He had just ended, Aeon who exited the bathroom added, "Leon Harmon isn\'t as good as the media shows. If Sean is saying this, your life is in real danger." He thought it might be because Leon failed to control Aeon because Aarvi is the major shareholder of Amiah Entertainment.

Aarvi merely glanced at Aeon, she wasn\'t surprised by Aeon\'s protectiveness because Leon could threaten a shareholder and get the shares to keep Aeon under his clutch. 

Amiah shares apart, protectiveness is in Aeon\'s nature but Sean was totally unexpected. The spoiled boy caring too much for her by going against Leon wasn\'t syncing with her thoughts right. 

Sean loved to misuse power and he indirectly supported Leon who killed his friend right in front of his eyes. So what is Sean up to? 

She wasn\'t going to believe the playboy falling in love with her. Even so, Sean could play between two parties. He can plan with Leon to have her for a day before letting Leon handle her. 

Nonetheless, it is really dangerous to be in contact with Sean or around him for a long time.

Aarvi gave a nod at the brothers as she added, "Thank you for your heads up. I am capable of protecting myself." It meant to both whereas only Aeon knew she was as competent as her words whereas Sean wasn\'t satisfied.

"Aarvi, you are not getting the gravity of the situation. My brother is really powerful and scary. You- you…" He started thinking about how he could keep her safe.

It then flashed to Aeon, \'How does Sean know President Evans?\' Before he could ask, he saw Sean pointing at him and telling Aarvi.

"Aarvi, you should be with Bro, Brother Leon won\'t do anything to you if Bro is with you. You will be safe with him." He wasn\'t making fun but he was sincere and anticipated.

Of course, he was a little greedy too. If Aeon protects Aarvi, he can meet her, woo her and have her. It didn\'t cross his mind that his brother Aeon is also a man and he might like Aarvi.

Aeon: "..."

Aarvi\'s red cherry lips arced into an enticing curve as her left-hand knuckles grazed her jawline turning towards Aeon. She rested her chin on her backhand and looked at Aeon whose lips were twitching.

\'I can keep her safe? Why didn\'t I know that?\' Aeon thought with an urge to smack his little brother.

"Really, President Harmon?" Aarvi asked expecting some drama but both men didn\'t look like they were ready to tell their connection with her.

Aeon who knew he shouldn\'t leak about her identity rubbed his neck uneasily. He thought to send Sean out saying he would discuss it with her but the three heard loud knocks… The person was actually banging on the door ready to break it if it\'s late.
