The Traps of Black Swan

"I need to speak with her privately." 

Everyone stood dumbstruck at Leon's demand. Just now, he attacked Aarvi and wished to speak to her privately. 

Which would be a fool enough to believe he won't hurt her? And also accept his demand to see her in private?

The captain denied without asking Aarvi, "Nope."

Aarvi turned around, A lot calmer. Even though she wasn't panicking like in the past. She could feel herself tremble.

Leon pressured the officer saying, "I won't open my lips if I don't get the chance to speak to her." He can choose to be silent throughout the interrogation. That will make the investigation difficult.

Leon faced Aarvi and scorned, "Why? Is she scared?" He tried to provoke her.

Aarvi didn't know why he wanted to speak with her. He didn't look like he was going to beg her. Perhaps threaten her? Threaten her with what? Aarvi tried hard but she couldn't find any clue.

Her family was in the Rivas mansion, Dax was in Skylar, Shawn in Rivas Industries, and Aaron had reached the hospital. Zane was with Hayden, just in case Leon does something stupid. Who else is left out?

Zelda? The latter was coming to the city and the airport was far from her place. If anybody's life was in danger or not, she didn't want to be negligent. 

The captain still wanted to retort. Leon will accept or deny his acts, they already had sufficient proof. However, Aarvi accepted Leon's demand, "Sure."

She knew Elder Harmon was tense and looking at her. She still needed time to completely be her real calm. So she didn't look at him and passed by. 

Then she walked out of the hall. Aarvi also ignored Dylan and Aeon and looked around to find a room that had a glass door or wall. She found one. If Leon dares to attack her again, he would be a fool. Alex followed her very close by.

The cops were worried about her decision. They decided to stay in the room where they will talk privately. They didn't leave Leon's arms and took him out.

Alex noticed Aarvi signaling him. She wrapped her fingers around her wrist and tapped her fingers. Alex turned around to face the officers, "Please put the handcuffs on."

Leon: "..."

The captain hadn't thought of it. He nodded at his subordinate to put the handcuffs on Leon. The latter tried to evade their hands as he reasoned, "I am just a suspect." It wasn't proven and he had the chance to escape if he didn't accept his doing.

Alex smirked looking at Leon's change in behavior. He thought Aarvi was still the smartest to keep herself safe. He started thinking about what Leon might be planning to tell.

The captain rolled his eyes, "President Harmon, you asked for this." The two members forced the handcuffs and locked Leon's hands behind his back.

Leon gritted his teeth. He couldn't test her anymore and he couldn't attack her either to hold her hostage. He needs to find another way to escape this. He suddenly paused when Aarvi went inside a room and Alex followed her.

He turned to the captain and demanded yet again, without taming his tone, "I need to record the conversation to prove my innocence." Innocence? he flinched at his word.

The cops looked at Leon as if he was an animal that escaped from the zoo. He wanted to remind Leon he wasn't his employee to order him around. Even if Leon was innocent in the kidnapping, he just attacked Aarvi in front of forty people, he would still be imprisoned.

However, to get this done, the captain fished out his mobile, turned on the recording, and put it in Leon's pants pockets. Then Leon was sent to the room where Aarvi was sitting on a chair, whereas Leon couldn't sit due to his hands behind him.

Aarvi cued Alex to leave as Leon couldn't attack her with his hands cuffed. "I will handle, captain." She assured the cop who entered inside. The captain warily looked at Leon before closing the glass door.

She calmly questioned Leon, once others were left the room, with the officers' eyes glued to them, "Yes Leon Harmon, may I know why you took the pleasure to see me privately?"

Leon ignored her mockery. He scoffed seeing her sit regally while he stood like a traitor of her Queen-dom. "Why don't you accept that you are shaking?"

Well, it was true But it wasn't because she was scared of him. She was disgusted for having to touch him with her bare hands.

She chose to irritate him, "Well, ladies get startled of an ugly disgusting piece of sh*t." She just reminded him she wasn't a man to show ego and pride. "You reek."

Leon craved to hit her and the anger started elevating again. "You did this. You planned your kidnapping and trapped me, didn't you?" It wasn't just a question, he was sure of it. Her plans always go so smoothly every time and he again fell for it. He believes it is her game plan.

Aarvi: "..."

She wasn't expecting that question at this time. She was expecting some threat to scare her. "Leon Harmon, if I had planned my kidnap, my husband wouldn't have struggled to give me a smile for more than twelve hours." Leon and the real mastermind of the kidnap ruined the after-dinner date. Only she knew how hard she tried to make Aaron feel at ease and give his flash his gentle smile.

Leon: "..."

Was that important now? 

Leon gritted his teeth without believing her words. That international call came in the night and morning, there were no suspicious movements from him or his men. So how was he caught? He refused to believe her. "Can't you accept your own doing?" He interrogated as if he would accept it.

Aarvi thought she was clear with her words. Why would she lie to him? She would have proudly accepted if it was her doing. She suddenly found fishy hearing him stress the same thing.

Anyway, she was prompt, "Leon Harmon, do I look stupid to plan my kidnap?" She rolled her eyes. 

She stood up and went to the door, signaling to Alex, asking for her mobile. The latter entered inside and handed her the mobile. She opened the picture Jaxon had sent her while they were in the meeting. She showed the picture to Leon, "He... He was the one who called you. He is under arrest in country S."

Leon's back stiffened looking at the blonde man in his mid-thirties. The picture was taken in an interrogation room. 

The door was open so the captain heard her words. He had thought they would have to trace that man too. He was surprised how they acted on both sides of the country simultaneously.

Aarvi snickered, "Don't worry, Leon Harmon, I will make sure to pressure this country's law with Country S. If this law lets you go, I will make sure you will live in country S prison." 

Country S is a very powerful country in the world and that country had huge support from Evans. Evans just needs to sound a little worried to wash off Leon on a go.

Aarvi showed the chat screen of Jaxon who had sent her text message saying Country-S rules are strict and he will drag Leon there if required.

The previous night, Aaron had got the call details of Leon. He had sent the international number to Jaxon. The latter had reached the cops there and Aaron had reached the cops too. Leon's mobile was tapped the whole morning and he was caught. At the same time, Country S tracked the man's location and put him behind the bars in less than an hour. Due to long procedures in country A, it took nearly two hours for them to reach Leon.

The credit goes to Aaron, yet he was more worried than anybody who knew about the kidnap.

Leon trembled at the realization that he failed to assess the situation again. He blurted out hoping to get one thing against her. "I will expose your true identity.." Then her mother was enough to fuel the fire he will create.
