The Traps of Black Swan

Roach and Milo Wen stepped forward when Aaron wasn\'t letting go of Leon. Any longer, Leon would die. Milo Wen\'s first reaction was to turn to the young trainer. If Aaron kills, he would be an eyewitness. The young trainer was so frightened that Milo wouldn\'t be surprised if he faints.

Aaron pushed Leon away. Death was an easy punishment. He wasn\'t a monster to torture Leon, just like how Leon tortures others. If he did, what would be the difference between him and Leon?

Leon coughed hard to breathe properly. He took longer to have control over himself before looking at Aaron. The latter had caught breath and stared at him. Both were sitting when Leon suddenly laughed between his groans.

.

"Aaron Rivas, If I was Little Lamb\'s husband, I would have killed everyone who laid eyes on her."

Milo Wen: "..."

He couldn\'t quite understand Leon\'s motive. Was he saying Aaron was doing wrong by not killing? Or was he saying he likes Aarvi? 

\'Excuse me, Leon Harmon. Little Lamb doesn\'t suit Young Madam. She would rather be called Devil in disguise.\' Milo didn\'t voice his thoughts.

Aaron was flexing his muscles, making sure he was all fine. Else his wife would break his bones. He didn\'t bother searching for the deep meaning of Leon\'s words, "That\'s exactly why she is My Wife." She likes to fight her own battle else neither he nor others had held the patience. They respected her choice.

Leon countered sarcastically, "Yet your wife said nothing to you." He wasn\'t getting anything out of this fight so he didn\'t want to tell about the other person. Instead, he was in the mood to confuse and tear the couple away.

Aaron stayed unaffected because Leon was trying to drive a wedge between him and Aarvi.

Leon saw Aaron\'s uninterested expression. This man was a hard nut, "You know what hurts the most, betrayal." Leon stated and saw small changes on Aaron\'s face.

Aaron was surprised Leon knows the taste of betrayal. 

Leon continued as he sat up, continuing to breathe irregularly, "How would you feel when an adopted son snatches away all the love, takes away everything that\'s yours, and was promised for the whole company?" He laughed at his own words. There was a heaviness in his tone.

Aaron tried his best to stay unreactive. Who was the adopted son in the Harmon family? Does Aarvi know about this?

If he was talking about the Kelly family, shouldn\'t he say as a daughter? But Aarvi wasn\'t adopted.

But the main point is betrayal. So Aarvi was hurt due to somebody who broke her trust. This revenge wasn\'t because Leon almost killed her but she was betrayed. Not just one - Grace Wells, but there was another person.

Who did she trust so much? 

"Jose!!??" Aaron said in shock. Jose was just sixteen back then. He might be poisonous but he had no guts.

Aarvi was protecting Jose from her parents. If Jose had his hand in it, Zain would have taken care of a very long back. Shawn mentioned Jose was a cry baby. Importantly, Jose was in the Kelly mansion without any money or digital device. Whereas a paparazzi was sent behind them to Luxembourg and that man had received money which Jose couldn\'t afford.

Leon laid down feeling dizzy. He didn\'t know he had so many fatal points on his body until today.

Aaron furrowed, earning no response. \'Does he even know who Jose Kelly is?\'

At another thought, Aaron doubted if Leon was distracting him.

However, Leon suddenly stood up as though he recovered all his energy to fight, "I won\'t give up." Earlier he accepted defeat because Aaron was choking him. He wanted to fight and win. Leon was a person who finds psychic satisfaction by hitting and killing people.

Aaron\'s face darkened looking at Leon. He knew he could fight again and get the truth out but it would be like going against Aarvi.

Think of the devil.

Aaron rolled down the boxing ring. His eyes shifted to Milo Wen who looked everywhere but him. So he turned to the grim lady whose eyes were scanning him top to toe.

Leon watched Aaron\'s demeanor take a total U-turn. Even though he still looked unemotional, he was calmer and his gaze tender. He followed his line of sight and swallowed hard as the images of the night appeared in his mind.

Aarvi was in a semi-formal yet hot look. She was wearing black ankle-length shoes to her slender long legs. She dropped the nude color handbag aside on a chair that she found on the way. She was wearing a white shirt, layered with a black, unique, designer blazer that had stylish cuts and layers which she had paired with black shorts. Her wavy hair was tied in a high ponytail. Completed the look with mauve-pink lipstick and eyeliner. 

\'Beautiful.\' But he knew it was just an outlook. She was no less dangerous than him.

As she neared, Aaron tested the water, "Cupcake…"

However, she rolled up on the boxing ring ignoring Aaron completely. Leon almost gasped how confidently and seamlessly, she took a single roll and stood on her feet. He thought she might be practicing some self-defense too.

Aarvi stood two steps away from Leon. Unlike her serene smile, no expression face, she appeared to be angry. "That\'s amazing, Leon Harmon. It won\'t be thrilling if you give up before the final battle." She snickered.

Leon furrowed hearing \'The final battle.\' He knew something was coming up hence she was silent, "What do you mean?"

This time Roach appeared curious while Milo Wen stood with his provoking smile at Leon

Aarvi crossed her arms. Her lips arced slyly, "What? Did you think I was wasting time by playing a cat and mouse game? Tsk, tsk… Leon Harmon, I was setting the stage for your real downfall."

\'Downfall!?\' Leon\'s eyes widened. She was silent past days waiting for Friday. Tomorrow was the result of his new project acquisition. "You-"

Aarvi suddenly spun and gave a perfect roundhouse kick. Her boot kicked Leon\'s head with a force that stumble him away. Even though she gave it her all, Leon was tall and strong enough to hold it easily.

Roach was amused.

Milo\'s jaw dropped.

Aaron admired his wife.

Aarvi looked disappointed for a brief second but her eyes sharpened, "I gave permission to none to lay their hands on my husband. How dare…" 

She was about to kick Leon again, she felt a tug around her waist and Aaron took her away from the shocked, frozen Leon.

However, Aarvi got out of his arm and pushed Aaron away. "Don\'t touch me." She warned him to stay away.

"Cupcake…" Aaron called her resignedly, hoping she could listen to him.

Aarvi spoke through her teeth, "I don\'t remember marrying a thug. Who are you, mister? I don\'t recognize you." Even though Esme just told her Aaron and Leon were in the boxing studio of the gym, she knew it was Aaron who invited Leon, not the other way around.

Leon came to his senses when he heard an anger-filled voice. He understood she was angry at Aaron, not him. He was happy to see them fighting.

Aaron tried to reach her but Aarvi went away and grumbled, "You are contaminated. You touched that shit and he too. Don\'t you dare come near me; And... You stink." 

In simple words, she wanted him to bathe quickly. It was like Leon didn\'t touch Aaron but her. She hated it. She was craving to drag Aaron to the shower and rub him harder. It had been a long time since she felt that way.

Leon, \'The shit\': "..."

Milo Wen silently chuckled when the smile vanished on Leon\'s face. 

Aaron could guess from her expression how she was feeling. So he agreed with her, "Alright, Cupcake, I will get fresh and come." He patiently waited for her to respond. 

Aarvi nodded, pressing her lips to a thin line. Since he wasn\'t hurt much, she wasn\'t angry but she wanted to know the reason for his actions. She saw him relaxed after her response. She didn\'t bring up the red bruises on his body yet. That she will take care when they go home. 

Aaron looked at Roach so that he could handle Leon in his absence. Roach nodded in response. Aaron quickly went for a shower.

Roach stood close by if Leon attacked Aarvi. However she hissed looking at Leon, "Are you waiting for me to kick your balls? Get out." Whereas she was craving to stomp that man to death.

The four men: "..."

His pride was shredded by her every time. If he stayed, he would end up in a horrible state. He got off the boxing ring. He was leaving when he heard snapping sounds behind him. 

He turned to her and heard, "Conserve your energy for the real battle. Grab your last good sleep and have the last sumptuous meal." 

Her confidence was alerting him. "I will see you Saturday." She added with a smirk.
