The Traps of Black Swan

"I gave birth to you. I am your mother. How could you do this to me?"

Shane came out of the kitchen hearing the shriek of his wife. He wanted to go over but looking at grim Aaron, he rushed back inside to take care of the work and win their favor.

Aaron had a question at the tip of his tongue, 'Did you realize that now?' However, he let Aarvi handle her battle.

Aarvi giggled hearing Maisie leaving the rest confused. "Mrs. Maisie Kelly, I am a jinx you are cursed with. When did you become my mother?"

Maisie: "...."

Alex shook his head in resignation, laughing silently. She was professional at throwing the words back and making them regret instantly.

Aarvi smiled looking at Maisie wordless. "About giving birth to an unfortunate child, Mrs. Kelly, I am giving you the roof. Try me, you will lose it too."

Maisie regretted never checking the agreements when she was signing the papers with her husband. She had thought everything was going under Skylar. If she had read Aarvi's name, she would have got suspicious.

Aarvi was going towards the heap of clothes when she heard Maisie's stuttering voice. "J-Jose was excited to see you. He would be very sad if he knew you did all these." She tried to get pity.

Aaron couldn't believe Maisie was still thinking of Aarvi as naive. It wasn't her fault anyway. Aarvi loved her little brother too much when she was young.

Aarvi turned around and simply revealed, "I was the one who asked Grandpa to take him out of this hell. He will live like a prince in a big mansion." Aarvi was turning around but paused, "Oh yeah, Grandpa knows I am alive from the beginning."

Maisie's hands which were on the cheeks fell on the couch. Now she understood why Hayden started putting them so far away. They were torturing Ava Kelly, Hayden was treating them better so that they don't trouble Aarvi. Since he didn't have to worry about Ava Kelly anymore, he mercilessly kicked them away. She discerned Hayden was waiting for Ava Kelly aka Aarvi Evans to exact her revenge else he would have handled them long back.

'Does that mean I will not get the company? My son, Jose, what will he do?' Her main concern is wealth.

Life turns on a dime.

She was thinking if Hayden was still strong and healthy, she should find a chance to trouble him or maybe induce some problems to his body. So that they could quickly get all the wealth. She was finding a chance to meet him. Now that Ava Kelly was alive and Hayden knew about her well-being all these years, the dream which was at the reach of her hands was going far and far away.

Her attention shifted to Aarvi when Aarvi asked, "Do you have light, Alex?"

Alex fetched it quickly and handed it to her. He sensed Aaron's gaze and quickly clarified, "I don't smoke, President Rivas. I arranged one after Young Madam asked to prepare a can of petrol." How could he forget one of the main requirements to be working at a top-notch team was no smoking? Simply because Aarvi would be around them.

Maisie rushed to grab her clothes, "What are you doing?" Her all the clothes were present.

Alex held Maisie and pushed her away. Aarvi lit the lighter and tossed it on the clothes. It instantly caught the fire due to petrol. Alex had made sure to keep clothes untouchable to other items or carpets so the fire was on the floor.

Maisie struggled to run and save some clothes which were catching fire too quickly. She understood why her clothes were being burnt. She had burnt Aarvi's dress gifted by Aaron. So Aarvi was burning every cloth.

"You are vicious." She snarled at Aarvi.

Aarvi gracefully took her umbrella and reached Aaron. The latter realized why there was an umbrella, Alex looked at the ceiling and discerned why she asked him to get an umbrella too.

"Your first-ever compliments. Thank you Mrs. Kelly for recognizing it." She showed her gratitude.

The fire alarm started ringing. Aaron took the umbrella, coiled his hand around her shoulder, and clicked the button. The black umbrella spread in all glory and saved them from getting wet. "We have a good shower block in the house." He meant it's a waste to get wet if they couldn't kiss.

Shane was panicked. He rushed out and saw the fire and smoke that was spreading. The drizzle of water wasn't enough to suffice the fire. Then his eyes fell on his wife who crying on the floor while Alex was under an umbrella and the couple was flirting with each other. He rushed inside to fetch water in large amounts.

Aarvi smirked at her husband. Her finger grazed at the corner of his lips, "Sweetheart, you are going to fast for at least a week." Then she whispered, "For making me cry." She kissed in the air. She wouldn't be grumpy all day to punish him. She would rather tempt him but give him no chance to touch her.

Aaron: "..."

He felt he deserved punishment. But after tasting her, one week felt too harsh. "Cupcake, we are still on our honeymoon period, remember?" His deep coaxing voice almost melted her.

"That's why it's a week. Else I would have increased it to a month." She grinned slyly.

He was sure she hadn't thought of the reason he gave. She just made it up there. "I will seduce you." He was resolute and confident.

He was expecting her to say he would lose but she lifted her forefinger, "I have a few plans for you."

He didn't want to listen to them.

Aarvi continued, "Strip Dance."

Aaron held back his expression and teased her, "Of course, I will strip both."

Aarvi punched him and popped another finger, "Lap dance."

Aaron commented with a straight face, "I am anyway on the top."

Aarvi: "..."

She was finding his shamelessness reasonable. Something is wrong with her brain.

Aaron pulled her another finger up, seeing her speechless. "Hmmm… The pole dance? We will try different positions."

Aarvi knew she was already flushed. She retorted, increasing her voice a little loud, "Shameless man, I am talking about dance."

Alex, Shane: "..."

Maisie was crying over her burnt dress. Shane had managed to douse the fire.

Aaron silently chuckled at his wife. She would flirt until her face reddens in shyness and embarrassment, then she will call him shameless.

Who is exactly shameless? One who wanted to love his wife or one who wanted to see her husband perform sensual dance?

"Pervert" He whispered to her ear and asked like a gentleman, "Shall we go on our date, my wife?"

Aarvi nodded but stopped him, "Wait…"

The water drizzling had stopped. There was about half an inch of water on the floor and everything in the house was soaked wet.

"Well, Mr. and Mrs. Kelly, If you want to stay here, you better keep everything clean and take care of the front yard."

Dripping wet, Maisie glared at Aarvi. "Isn't this house is yours? Clean yourself." She craved to see Aarvi fail.

Aarvi clapped, "Alex, it's my house, they aren't my tenants. Throw them out."

Maisie and Shane were flustered. "You- You can't do this." Maisie stuttered moving away from Alex.

Aarvi thought, then she took Aaron's wallet and pulled two big banknotes. "A maid and a gardener. You, you better keep the house clean and You, keep the outside clean. Your wages." Aarvi flinched at the thought of throwing the money, but she did it without changing her expression.

Shane grabbed them and blew them since they got wet. They needed it to feed themselves.

Maisie wanted to retort but looking at Alex, she swallowed hard and accepted her fate.

When they left, Shane scratched his head and questioned in confusion, "What about the wedding?"

Maisie slapped him across the face. Kicked her wet burnt clothes. "You jinx, I will make you regret it." She swore.

She strode towards the table and took a paper and pen from the drawer. Since their mobiles were expensive, Dax's team had them confiscated.

She started writing a letter to the news channel manager mentioning Aarvi Evans's real name, made up a story as she was flirting around with many boys, she was about to marry Vance Hays but she left him for rich man Aaron Rivas. She changed her name and identity as she was a prostitute and many male customers knew her by real name.

She found an envelope and inserted two pages inside. First, she changed to clothes that were in the laundry room. She grabbed the big note Aarvi had thrown and went out to catch a taxi.

Meanwhile, Shane was slogging his ass off to clean the house.
