The Traps of Black Swan

In Rivas Multispeciality Hospital

Leon Harmon had sustained pretty good injuries on his face and was treated by the top doctors of Rivas. Aaron got the news quickly but he didn\'t know why Leon was beaten black and blue and who was the girl in the picture.

Anyhow, Leon admitting to the hospital quickly spread out creating another uproar in the media and social media with innumerable speculations.

Sean, Eliza, and Tara had reached the hospital where Dylan was present. He just gave a brief of what happened in the office.

Sean didn\'t believe him, "Brother Dylan, please stop spouting nonsense about my brother, even though they aren\'t on good terms, Brother Aeon couldn\'t be so ruthless. Why will he react so strongly to those fake photos in social media?" Leon Harmon was \'Best man\' according to Sean.

Tara and Eliza knew pretty well about Leon so they didn\'t find it surprising but Eliza had to put on an act of loyal, sweet, and obedient wife, "How can Aeon be so cruel?" And she slumped on the chair and started crying.

Tara controlled rolling her eyes but sat next to her patting her back, "Sis, you have to be strong now. We can\'t fall weak..."

Dylan who knew the true colors of each one sniggered in his mind and saw Sean who might be philanderer but was innocent in everything. "Sean, calm down. What I said is the truth! Let Brother Leon wake up, then we will think what to do, alright?"

Sean breathed heavily pacing in the corridor trying to reach Aeon but the latter wasn\'t picking his calls. Sean loved both brothers dearly, he just can\'t leave one for another and he can\'t see then fighting either.

Leon was treated and was on medication so the family members waited outside the VIP room on doctors\' instruction.

Soon, Sean got a glimpse of a girl in a pretty black dress fidgety near the elevator, biting her wine red lips. His eyes lit up identifying the Beauty in Black.

He raced towards the elevator quickly but the girl got into the elevator. Sean didn\'t think twice and took the stairs because another elevator was on another end of the floor.

He went to the seventh floor and saw the elevator was in sixth. Without wasting time, he went down and saw the elevator was on fifth. His legs didn\'t stop a second and he reached the fourth floor when some were getting on the elevator and he saw his Beauty in Black\'s eyes widened in astonishment seeing him.

He held her wrist over her sleeves and pulled her out without noticing the change in expression of her.

Aarvi who thought her psychological barrier of skin touch wasn\'t there anymore but her slight irritation started and flung his hand in no time. She was glad she chose a full sleeve dress.

Sean saw her anxiety and thought it was because of him, he tried to cup her face but Aarvi backed instantly. She tried to calm down and she played along with her mood, "I shouldn\'t be here. I... I will leave. I should leave."

Sean jumped on his feet and blocked her entering the elevator, "No no no, you are at the right place." He looked around and saw the cafeteria board, "Let\'s go there and talk."

Aarvi was calmed down a lot. Breathing slowly, she nodded and her voice faintly sounded, "Alright."

Sean smiled hearing her sweet voice and forgot about his brother. He was thinking of making use of this meet and getting to know her well. "I\'m Sean Harmon, and you?"

Aarvi avoided his eyes looking around, "I know." Then her voice sounded concerned, "I heard your brother admitted here so I was worried..." Her face slightly flushed and started speaking in fluster, "No I mean, I... I was passing by so thought to check on you... No, no, I mean... It..."

Sean was delighted to hear she went for him and she was concerned about him.

Aarvi stood up hurriedly in awkwardness, "I\'m sorry, I should leave."

Sean shot up from his seat and urged, "Please please, sit down, sit down. You have no idea how much I searched for you. I had thought only I cared about you... It\'s good."

Aarvi objected, "No, it\'s not good. I\'m older than you and everyone will think I am here because of your status... I… I should leave. Just forget I was here."

"Are you really older than me?" Sean looked at her in amusement without believing it.

Aarvi wanted him to know she was older - Checked.

She wanted him to still be fond of her - Checked.

She lowered her head in shame and hummed, "I should leave. I\'m sorry."

Sean blocked her, "No, No, I don\'t have any problem with your age. Please sit." He clasped his finger and pleaded by making puppy face, "Please please please..."

Aarvi realized Sean might be philanderer but that stupid was already in love with her and ready to leave his ego and plea her. But she also knows Sean Harmon loved himself more than anyone else; he wouldn\'t be sitting in front of her instead of taking care of his brother.

Naomi, who was passing by, she swiftly took their picture and sent it to Aaron with a message. [Aaron, is she Aarvi Evans? I think she got a little boyfriend. Why didn\'t you tell me before? I would have congratulated her.]

Her aim was to tell Aaron that Aarvi is flirting with Sean Harmon. She snickered thinking about how Aaron was going to kick Aarvi out. She happily got back to work thinking about it.

Aarvi calmed Sean and asked him to sit to avoid attention. Sean wasn\'t shy-type so he boldly and directly spoke, "We should date. Be my girlfriend. I am sure we will hit it off."

Aarvi lowered her head in resignation shaking her head. She looked depressed and helpless, "I know I shouldn\'t have any feelings but my horrible past will not let me move on. I will get over with my feelings. You should move on too. There are so many pretty girls, I\'m sure you will like them."

Sean decisively spoke. He was about his feeling towards Beauty in black, "No way, you don\'t know how special you are to me."

Aarvi was inferior and dejected watching out of the building, "No, I don\'t have the right to like anybody. I have lost it long back. I can\'t give happiness to anybody when I\'m in the dark." Whatever she told was the truth. She long back decided she wouldn\'t bring anybody to her darkness and she will suffer alone. She didn\'t want anyone to suffer or worry about her.

Sean felt his heartache hearing about her past relationship. He slid his hand under her extra-long sleeves when she was lost in thought. He tried to comfort her, "No, you have all..."

Aarvi\'s hand trembled and retracted back in no time. She had really thought she was now fine with a small touch on her skin and it wouldn\'t irritate her but she felt prickling all over the skin where Sean touched. It was like somebody poking thousands of needles to her skin.

Her eyes became red and she failed to control her emotions in panic and spat out angrily forgetting the plan, "You men just want a woman\'s body. You are all the same. Disgusting."

Then she ran out rubbing her hand searching for the washroom with irregular breathing.

Her plan to control Sean Harmon - Failed.

An unexpected result - Panic attack.
