The Traps of Black Swan

Tuesday morning,

Aarvi\'s schedule was free other than the usual office work. The ship will be seized on international waters, in the afternoon of the country time. Then she will have to alert Jaxon, he will proceed with the plan and acquire the international logistics. 

So after the tiring night with her husband, she buried herself in his arms, reluctant to leave the bed in the morning. The weather was cooler with the drizzling creating the perfect cold to cuddle all day long.

Aaron obliged his wife\'s needs, cuddled her longer until her stomach growled. "Cupcake, let\'s grab something to eat."

"Noo... " She whined without opening her eyes.

Who was going to listen to her? He carried her out of bed in a bear hug and continued to spoil her for some time until her mobile beeped and he read the message for her.

[Marriage Bureau at 10:00]

The lazy, spoiled wife sprung on her feet and pulled him into the bathroom, "Shower, shower, shower…"

At 10 AM,

Aarvi saw some of Zain and Zara\'s colleagues in shock without believing their eyes whatsoever. As if one shock wasn\'t enough, they couldn\'t understand why Aarvi Evans and Aaron Rivas were there dropping all their work to attend Zain\'s marriage.

Other than them, Zara\'s parents were giving out gift hampers to everyone who was coming and going out of the bureau. They were so happy for their daughter, they had tears at the corner of their eyes.

Coming to the couple, Zain had a faint smile looking as handsome as ever whereas Zara wasn\'t the serious lady anymore. She had the brightest and blissful smile she ever wore on her face. She was beautiful.

"So Mr. Kelly, what\'s the plan?" Zara asked, looking at her marriage certificate.

"Of course, catering to Mrs. Kelly." Zain took the marriage certificate from her hands and kept them in his blazer inner pocket.

"Perfect. Let\'s have our wedding before Aarvi leaves."

"Excellent." That\'s what he likes about his wife, she thinks of him first, then hers. He wasn\'t able to give her the priority, now she will come first for him.

"Dad and Mom would love it in the church. What about you? And Grandfather Hayden?"

"We will do it as Dad and Mom like it." He meant her parents. Hayden would be happy to see them happy so he had no restriction and knew she had no such particular preferences.

Zara was about to accept, she saw her parents in happy tears and Aarvi excited than them. "See, I told you, Aarvi will jump in joy." She whispered when Aarvi hugged the tall human, "Congratulations, Apple Pie."

She turned to Zara in his embrace and wished her, "Happy marriage life, Sister-in-law… Never leave a chance to seduce your husband and keep him in control."

Zara chuckled showing the OK sign while Zain held Aarvi\'s ear and pulled her back, "Pumpkin, why are you teaching your mischief to my wife?"

Aarvi shrugged, "Okay sister-in-law, throw him out of the room if he seduces you."

Zain: "..."

Zara burst into laughter and understood Aarvi meant to say take the lead without waiting for Zain to waste time. 

Zain pushed her to Aaron, "You have spoiled your wife rotten. She is all yours to worry about."

Aaron was more than happy to hear it. Whereas he knew she was trying to act all spoiled because they don\'t get much time together.

After the couple met the rest of the members, Aarvi asked to know if she has to arrange for lunch, "Where are we having lunch?"

The smiles of Zara and Zain stiffened. Zara\'s mother responded without knowing that Aarvi was Ava Kelly, "President Evans, we are going to the Kelly mansion. Please feel free to join us."

Aarvi\'s smile morphed into a forced one. She could guess Hayden didn\'t come to the bureau because of her. Aaron responded on behalf of Aarvi, "Next time, we have an appointment to attend."

Aarvi breathed slowly to push away the negativeness and smiled, "Alright, if you guys need me for anything, I am just a call away."

Zain had no choice. He had to choose each one for a different event. Seeing her understanding without hard feelings, he breathed a sigh and left the bureau, meeting her again.

The couple\'s colleagues and Zara\'s parents went to the Kelly mansion for lunch.

"Do you think I should meet my grandfather?"

"Only when you are ready."

"I am trying." But she couldn\'t bring herself to visit Hayden.

Aron would have taken her but Hayden and Aarvi need to talk and solve the difference by themselves without anybody\'s interference. "Then think as you are doing it for Zain. He would be happier to see two attend his wedding without anyone\'s absence."

Aarvi hummed to give it some more thought as she followed him out to the parking lot.

-----

Meanwhile, Leon felt his head throb hearing allegation after allegation. After the hospital confirmed the authenticity of the medical papers, Eliza and Leon signed divorce and Eliza became free. The doctors who used to treat Eliza\'s wound, spoke in favor of Eliza hence Leon was charged with domestic violence.

Sean\'s friend\'s case was still being investigated whereas they submitted the traces of gunpowder and drugs from that villa. However, there was no proof to prove that the villa belonged to Leon.

Just when James Crawford thought drug cases couldn\'t be linked to Leon, a team of officers marched inside the courtroom.

Clark William led the team of four. Tiana Wells flashed her middle finger to Leon who was about to faint at Aarvi\'s back-to-back attack.

"Your honor, I am Clark William, chief officer of the Antidrugs bureau. We have found concrete evidence to prove Leon Harmon is the major drug dealer of the country." He cued his subordinate to submit the papers. He added at last, "We request for the transfer of the charge of Leon Harmon for further interrogation."

Judge Rowlatt never got such a complex case that was making him go insane to keep track of everything. "Leon Harmon, who have you offended that all your illegal activities are swarming you like piranhas in the water?" And piranhas won\'t leave before eating one alive.

Nikun lifted his hand since it was just a casual question, "Your honor, I am sure you haven\'t forgotten watching the video in which Leon attacked my client, Aarvi Evans." In the video, Aarvi was loud and clear that she will destroy Leon Harmon.

Clark didn\'t mind to accept, "We indeed got assistance from President Evans."

Judge Rowlatt: "..."

He shook his head to get out of the daze and questioned Nikun, "Mr. Morris, how many more cases will be added?"

Nikun glanced at Leon and James Crawford. A mocking smile appeared on his face, "Just enough to fill the jury panel, Your honor." He faintly smiled at Rowlatt in the end.

Judge Rowlatt felt the need of the jury panel from each field, or else he would lose all the hair from his head. "And you will fight each case." It wasn\'t a question.

"Absolutely." He confidently replied to let James know he was far ahead in the case.

Rowlatt asked Clark and his team to take a seat, "We will have to make a list and prioritize who will get the first opportunity to speak with Leon Harmon." The courtroom chirped in a peel of laughter.

That\'s how Leon was being tortured with a sea of questions and all he could say was \'I don\'t know.\' Any word extra, Nikun was entrapping him with words that either would reveal the truth or his lie.

Nikun was getting famous slowly for his abilities to handle the cases so meticulously. The country was looking at the developments of Leon\'s cases as one on one kept adding, shocking everyone. 

Leon didn\'t know his huge shock was yet to arrive.
