The Traps of Black Swan

In the morning.

Sunbathing in the early morning warm rays falling on her delicate skin, breathing in the fresh and cool air, Aarvi was cold pressing her swollen eyes instead of yoga.

When Aaron finished his gym and went near the pool, she was still sitting with her cold ice pack. Opening her one eye but she again shut it feeling embarrassed. She had cried in arms for a long time before dozing off. He hadn't even dared to leave her alone in the room and rested on her day bed.

Aaron didn't have any mood to bring up such memories but seeing her blush in awkwardness after seeing him, a smile crept on his face.

He had lapped five times when he asked tousling his wet hair, "Breathing exercise?"

Aarvi shook her head and scurried away making him chuckle.

'Doozy'

He started seeing her different expressions unlike serene so he was happy everything was going good.

At the breakfast table, Aarvi got Zain (Apple Pie)'s call. She saw Aaron after seeing her mobile near him. He answered it on the speaker seeing her both hands busy holding a toast and butter knife.

"Morning Sunshine!"

Aarvi quickly cleared her mouth and wished, "Good Morning."

"I am sending the Shares papers to your private office with a man who would ask for your signature pretending it to be the registered post. Alright?"

"Okay. I will manage the rest."

Zain asked since he hadn't heard anything, "Pumpkin, what about Sean Harmon?"

Aarvi almost bumped her head on the table thinking about it but stopped herself knowing Aaron's eyes were on her, "I scolded him and ran away. Thankfully there was nothing on the table else I would have smashed it on his head. So change in plan. I will meet him after I stabilize Amiah Entertainment."

There was weird silence before Zain spoke, "Alright! Lots of hugs and kisses. Bye."

She shook her head in resignation and took a spoon full of her healthy oats after the piece of bacon toast. Aaron asked hesitantly without showing it on his face or voice, "Who is Apple Pie?"

Aarvi merely glanced at him, "Cousin."

'Cousin? Zain Kelly?' Aaron had heard about him from little Aarvi.

"Oh!" He was satisfied with the answer. Initially, he had thought Shawn or Dax might be in love with her but Shawn had cleared everything, in the beginning, saying they were more like bros. Then this Apple Pie had quite an ambush identity.

"Why Apple Pie?"

Aarvi was surprised to see his interest in her Apple Pie. "He loves to eat Apple Pie."

Aaron just nodded resting his heart at ease. At the end of the day, she is a lot more comfortable with him but that 'Doctor' tag needs to be removed quickly.

At Amiah Entertainment

Aarvi had collected the share papers and reached Amiah Entertainment President's Office. After knowing Aeon wasn't in office even at ten in the morning. She asked to locate him leaving her bodyguards outside the Aeon's office.

Aeon was curious hearing Amiah's new shareholder was sitting in his office waiting for him. He had to quickly freshen up and reached the office to see Jayce arguing with tall, well-built bodyguards in black gear.

"What is going on here?"

His voice stopped Jayce in his tracks and was still fearful to face Aeon. Darting his eyes around, he reported, "These two are bodyguards and they aren't letting me inside." He has to quickly report to Leon about the new shareholder of the company.

A bodyguard spoke emotionlessly, "President Harmon, we are instructed to stop everyone entering inside except you. Our boss is waiting for more than half an hour, please get in."

Aeon nodded and entered while Jayce tried to follow but stopped by bodyguards, "You dumb headed fools, I'm President Harmon's assistant."

A bodyguard spoke hoarsely, "We know different ways to shut you aside and I'm sure you will not like it."

Jayce saw their biceps and gulped: "..."

'Life is important.' He silently backed out.

Inside the office, Aeon saw somebody sitting on his chair and reading his new movie draft. His face turned grim and quickly snatched the file but was shocked seeing who it was and her serene face.

Unknowingly he calmed down. It was like there were no problems in her life and it gave him the feeling that his life is peaceful without any difficulties.

Aarvi saw him dazed and flicked her slender fingers in front of his face which woke him up to reality. "The movie budget is awful. I'm investing in your movie." Aarvi said straightforwardly.

It was a story called 'Untouchable'. A male lead having some kind of deficiency in the blood which causes his skin irritation. He gets to know later that his stepmother was poisoning him for many years to avoid him having a family so that her son could inherit everything. It had suspense, comedy, romance, and the perfect amount of evilness.

"Excuse me! I never gave you that right."

Aarvi nodded and opened her bag to keep the company share papers.

Aeon spoke before her, "I only sold 25 percent shares. I have 40 percent shares and I'm the lead shareholder. And how the hell did you buy the shares? I sold to... Was he your man?"

Aarvi pointed at the chair without getting up from his chair, "Right. With your current stats, how did you even think somebody could buy it at such a high price, President Harmon?"

Aeon thought about the previous day's events. He wanted to be the highest shareholder to control Amiah but a man was ready to buy 25 percent shares at a higher price than the market price saying he trusts in Amiah Entertainment. In a hurry to solve and go to his Amiah's gravestone, he hadn't asked anything.

"But still, I'm the lead of Amiah entertainment." He stood on his ground.

Aarvi just tilted her head pointing at the papers. He quickly took and checked to understand she had forty-five percent.

Aarvi asked coldly, "Do you think it's difficult for me to get more shares?... Shall we talk business now?"

Aeon slumped on the chair thinking he lost everything from his hand without hearing her. For the movement all he had in his mind was he lost Amiah and Amiah Entertainment. He knows Skylar always revamped the business it buys so he requested without his realization, "Can you not change the company name?"

Aarvi frowned and ordered, "Collect yourself, President Harmon. I don't want a loser to run Amiah Entertainment."

Aeon's somber face crinkled hearing her.

Aarvi continued in her overbearing tone, "I am giving you five minutes. Do whatever you want but I want to see the man who is capable of running the business."

Her hands stretched and snatched the movie draft copy to continue reading leaving him confused and at the loss of words.

Right after five minutes, Aarvi saw him silently sitting but there wasn't any depressed, lost man. He was a confident, dedicated, and compassionate President of the company glaring at her.

"Your first task, Fire your assistant. Right Now!"

Aeon grounded his teeth and slammed his hands on the table, "Who the f**k do you think you are? Get out."

Aeon Harmon never betrays his friends for the third person.
