The Traps of Black Swan

'Do you know why Leon Harmon wanted to kill you?' Aaron asked because as much information he, Shawn, Dax, or Zain collected, none had valid evidence to point that as the reason.

If Leon was just fascinated by her and she escaped from his hands by hurting him, he would have definitely molested her as torture before killing her but she is untouched which is totally surprising to everyone so what could be the reason?

Aaron knew… actually, it's a wild guess as that could be a reason because the time chart matched well. Aaron wanted to know if she knew the secret of Leon Harmon which only he and his father, Conoor, knew among them.

Of course, he would like to know the real reason too if his guess is incorrect.

Aarvi who was in Aaron's embrace straightened her back to see him. She had tried every mode but failed to know. By the tone of Aaron, she could predict he knows something that she doesn't know.

'If he knows, how does he know and why didn't he tell me before?' That can only be cleared if she asks.

Before she could speak, Aaron pulled her closer so that she could be in his arms. Aarvi saw his one leg encircle her, another leg knee faced the ceiling pulling her right in front of him between his legs.

'Did I scare him telling the past?' Aarvi thought looking at his angst to leave her even a little away.

Her hand reached his cheeks and pinched them, "You are so cute." Pulling him to her height, she pecked on his lips, "I am alright." 

It's true she had feared he might judge her and look at her in disgust due to what those officers did to her but the way he kept close to her while she narrated to him what had happened, she knew he won't look at her in aversion. 

She didn't expect him to have so much impact on him and she was glad he was letting her see him weak too unlike putting on a strong exterior or being cold towards her past.

Aaron held her hands down from his cheeks. He knows he was overreacting when she is totally fine sitting in front of him but he couldn't help it, he wanted to hold her. 

He didn't care even if she finds him clingy so he bluntly stated, "I am not." Yeah, he wasn't alright, he wanted to find them all and beat the crap out of them.

Aarvi faintly smiled holding his hand back and revealed. "Actually, I don't know how I garnered Leon Harmon's intense hatred towards me. It can't be because he lost a business deal against me, he has lost many such deals but he didn't go out to kill them."

Aaron was sure what he guessed is the actual reason but let her speak before he could reveal.

"If he wanted to defile me or sleep with me, why didn't he try to do the same when they caught me? He had the chance to tell all his allies to gang up but he didn't. He wanted to torture me, hear me cry, beg them to let me go but still wanted me alive."

Aaron wrapped his arms hearing her explain as though she was explaining her shopping activities. He knows one day she will tell those events too, he hoped she could be strong without affecting her health or heart.

Aarvi didn't protest but moved closer as she continued, "When I tried to kill myself, he made sure I stay alive. He was adamant about doing it for days but they had to leave... Yeah, it was because of your fake terrorism to lock down all the cities nearby. So basically I have no idea how I provoked him."

Aaron started thinking about how to tell her and how she might react. He even gave a thought if he should tell her.

Aarvi saw him silent without speaking so she asked, "What's wrong? Did I really do something against him?"

Aaron released her and his hands brushed the strands of hair away from her face as he calmly tried to reveal, "What you did to him is actually serious for any man in his place."

The curiosity on her face died, morphing to confusion. She spoke her thoughts, "Serious for any man? I don't know his mother or wife, he doesn't have kids. I haven't even seen the pictures of his parents." Then she gazed into Aaron's eyes, "What did I do? Is it really my mistake? Am I in the wrong and avenged?"

Aaron couldn't believe she thought Leon gives importance to family members when she already knows he doesn't care. He had thought she was smart but she didn't realize what he tried to say. 

He didn't mean she is dumb, she was smart in the things she knows. Sigh, he tried to tell her directly, "He is suffering from Erectile Dysfunction."

Aarvi was even more confused hearing the medical terms, "How can I cause him a disease?" 

The emotions Aaron had a few seconds back were replaced with amusement craving to chuckle. "It's not a disease."

Aarvi cut in to know why he holds her responsible for his fate, "Then?" She started guessing without letting him speak, "Is it an infectious disease which he got from a random girl and he hates all girls for it? But he hasn't killed any girls in two years, but yeah, Tara Lane's life in danger though."

Erectile dysfunction is infectious? Aaron couldn't control it and let out a throaty chuckle rubbing her head, "You are the one who is cute, not me."

However Aarvi turned serious, "Are you laughing at me? Let me search online. Hmph."

She tried to crawl to her bedside but Aaron pulled her back imagining her checking the pictures of the phallus to read about it. "Okay, okay, I will tell you."

Looking at him suspiciously, Aarvi raised her single eyebrow at him waiting for him to explain to her why Leon Harmon holds her responsible for a disease. 

Aaron couldn't believe they are discussing such topics, "Leon Harmon is impotent."

He was amused to see her nod and smirk, "His sins are finally paying him giving no kids. He deserves it." 

Aaron doubted if she really understood.

Aarvi who took a pause was baffled, "What does it have anything to do with me? Is he a psycho?"

Aaron burst into heart laughter, it is fun seeing her all confused and her thoughts all over the place. He wanted to keep confusing her and see her bewildered.

Aarvi: "..."

Aarvi grabbed the pillow and started beating him until he held her hands wrapping his arms around her but continued to laugh.

Aarvi smiled hearing his laugh next to her ear. She would love to hear his tempting laughter but he was laughing at her so she whined, "Aaron…"

Aaron stopped when she elbowed him multiple times. He pulled her closer to lean on his chest and explained, "Erectile dysfunction is when a man can't get or keep an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse. It causes Impotence."

Aaron felt her body stiffen and become silent. Does he have to explain what erects for intercourse? It would have been easier to explain if she knew lovemaking so he wouldn't blame her if she doesn't know.

However, Aarvi burst into laughter in his arms causing him to shake his head in resignation. He had thought her to become silent and flush red but she didn't feel bad for kicking Leon Harmon in the balls but laughing for it.

Aarvi revealed continuing to laugh, "I didn't know my kick could cause that."

Aaron: "..."

Aarvi held her stomach as she continued to laugh, laying in Aaron's arms thinking why Shawn didn't tell her completely but twisted the words. She disclosed between her laughter, "Sha- Shawn had told me, I should kick between the legs as hard as I could if a creep attacks me else I won't be able to escape easily. Hence they chose to teach me kickboxing."

Aaron: "..."

Aarvi continued to laugh and tell what Shawn and Dax had taught her in self-defense causing Aaron to gulp his non-existent saliva. He couldn't believe, being men, her both friends made sure to twist the words and fill her brain how they could make men suffer by her.

On another part, he was glad they taught her well which protected her for a long time even though she had to suffer further.

He heard her continue saying she should narrate those to Shawn and Dax and they will be really happy to know she used their tricks and also made a man impotent. 

She was planning to tell Zain too but after her next day's plan completes successfully without many risks.

Aarvi didn't blame herself or felt anything knowing the real reason. If Leon Harmon hadn't planned all those, both wouldn't be suffering now. 

She was glad, she has Aaron, Zain, Shawn, and Dax by her side supporting her unconditionally.

It was already nearing three midnight, Aarvi was thinking to let Aaron sleep but Aaron turned her around to face her and he was dead serious unlike how he had smiled at her.

Aaron hesitated, he wanted her to understand without feeling he was putting restrictions on her or taking any type of freedom from her. He knows she will have to meet Leon in the coming days but he couldn't let his instincts come true.

"Aarvi, I don't know what plans you have for Leon Harmon but will you please avoid meeting him?"

Aaron paused seeing her face losing the smile morphing to graveness. He hoped she wasn't misunderstanding him.
