The Traps of Black Swan

Aeon, who was dragged to the center of the hall by Sean, noticed Aarvi standing with a man. He knew she had a boyfriend so he ignored the couple to avoid his feelings. He was more curious about Leon Harmon who wasn't in the hall.

After a minute or two, his mobile vibrated in his pocket. Patting Sean's shoulder, he walked aside as he checked the message.

[Storage room 3.]

Not only Aeon, but Dylan had also received the same Internet-generated message which disappeared after they saw it.

Both knew it was a message from Aarvi so the duo rushed towards the kitchen.

Aeon became a little alert seeing Dylan while the latter's brows slightly raised at the analysis Aeon is aware of 'Ava Kelly' attacking Leon Harmon.

A question was at his tip of the tongue, 'How do you know Ava Kelly?' But before he could ask, he was literally shocked to see Leon exiting the storage room.

'Holy Goodness.' Dylan thought by looking at Leon from top to toe.

Aeon was in no less shock. It was the first time he saw his brother, the so-called ideal man of the country look exactly like his awful heart.

They were proud of Ava Kelly aka Aarvi Evans after watching Leon, they didn't forget to hide their real emotions from the uninterested.

After breaking the multiple strong mirror blocks, Leon had lost too much of his energy. Leon was clutching an iron rod of length around a half meter and his left hand was pressing his stomach when he stepped out of the room. 

He had many cuts on his white shirt which had red blood dots here and there. His exposed forearms had also earned scratches with blood drops on them.

What caught the attention of the other two was the tiny particles were shining on Leon's wounds.

Soon a blood drop stole their attention to Leon's backhand of the right hand. The blood was dripping from deeper cuts, his knuckles had turned pale implying his strength of hold on the rod.

The protruding nerves on his forearms and neck were clearly visible. Before they could decide it might be because of pain, their eyes fell on Leon's burning red eyes and his heavy breath. He was obviously craving for Ava Kelly's blood.

The classy and dignified Leon Harmon was looking like a homeless, frightful person.

Instead of worrying about Leon, Aeon and Dylan thought if Aarvi was hurt. Their mind knew she wasn't hurt else she wouldn't be standing for a few minutes before leaving.

Dylan had to act like an assistant and look worried about his brother. Yet his reaction wasn't overwhelming but sufficient to his composed serious manner, "Brother Leon, what happened to you?"

Dyan stretched his hand and took the iron rod away while Leon looked at Dylan whose brows furrowed and was a little tense. Then his deadly gaze moved on Aeon who emotionlessly gazed him in the eyes.

Leon found pity in Aeon's eyes which he absolutely hated but he didn't show his real emotions either. Aeon and Dylan witnessed Leon's murderous air morph to helplessness and agony due to Aeon's presence.

Dylan was thinking Aeon might push Leon away when the latter tried to hold him but to their surprise, Aeon stood still and balanced the wobbling Leon.

"Aeon, you know Sean, please help me by hosting the engagement. I-I…" He bit his lip and looked down at his state.

Dylan looked at Aeon, he so wished he could get the trust of Aeon but it is impossible unless he leaves Leon.

Aeon gnashed his teeth, he really wanted to cancel the engagement but he knew Aarvi's plan didn't include the cancellation of engagement else she would have done it before leaving.

Taking a long breath, he coldly asked. "Did you really promise Sean that you will break off their engagement in a month?"

It wasn't surprising for both Dylan and Leon as Sean tells most of the things to Aeon unless it's illegal activities.

Leon responded weakly as though he was at the brink of losing his consciousness, "Yeah, I will definitely do that. He is so young, how could I ruin his life?" He lied on the face.

The other two men sneered in mind. It was more like Leon wanted to use Sean more for his benefit, just like how he tried to use Aeon.

Shrugging off his hand, Aeon walked away adding, "Alright." 

Leon acted weak until Aeon left the lobby before striding towards the mobile security vehicle that was at the exit of the kitchen, "Dylan." His hoarse voice commanded Dylan to follow him.

Dylan showed his fake concern as he followed him, "Brother Leon, you were talking with President Rivas, why did you leave him? And who did this to you? We should go to the hospital, Brother Leon…"

Leon ignored his words and went out of the kitchen to the mobile vehicle he had arranged to catch Ava Kelly. The man who was inside stood up after seeing Leon, "Boss!?" He was shocked looking at him.

Leon didn't care about his reaction and pushed the man aside before taking his place. Dylan was aloof while understanding Leon was secretly handling Ava Kelly's case without trusting anyone.

'Good for me.' He thought.

Leon went ten minutes ago and played a video that was pointing at Leon in an angle it can cover the way towards the kitchen. 

Dylan's lips threatened to laugh but pressed it down while Leon's face was darkening looking at the video which didn't have the person he wanted.

Leon desperately changed to a different camera but there was no Ava Kelly in any camera angle. It was like Leon imagined and ran behind her. The spy camera wasn't there in the kitchen lobby so Leon couldn't check that part.

Dylan stood still as if he didn't have any idea while Leon was trembling in anger. He wanted to smash the computer but controlled trying to think of a solution.

Leon fast-forwarded the video and waited for Ava Kelly to exit the lobby but she didn't appear, which was fueling Leon's rage even worse. 

Leon again failed to catch who was supporting Ava Kelly.

Another failure of him.

Before Leon could get up from the chair and smash everything, something caught the eyes of Dylan. He suddenly moved closer to the screen and pointed to a small screen for the operator to display it wide.

Dylan's lips twitched looking at President Dawson's state.

Fifteen minutes earlier,

The event manager was fidgety before making his mind to stop Madam Dawson from beating President Dawson. The manager was scared that he might face payment issues if the engagement cancels so he interrupted them.

"Madam Dawson, the engagement is going to start soon. Your daughter will definitely be heartbroken if the engagement cancels."

His words earned the effect he wanted. Madam Dawson paused remembering Sara's happy excited face.

More than the issue with her husband, she prioritized Sara's happiness so she stopped beating her husband. The couple was panting to catch a breath that relaxed the manager.

He uneasily looked at President Dawson's swollen face and prayed sincerely for the engagement to complete without any problem as he absconded from the room.

Madam Dawson composed and narrowed her eyes at her husband, "We will get back to this right after Baby's wedding." She took a step to leave but paused, "Don't you dare step in my house." she growled and strode away.

President Dawson cared least about it. All he knew was Ava Kelly tricked him and he should teach that 'Little Bitch' a lesson.

He dialed Leon's number but found it switched off. Getting off the bed, he rushed out in search of Ava Kelly.
