The Traps of Black Swan

Chapter 522 - Talk Over A Coffee

While Aaron was thinking about what was in her mind, her mobile rang displaying an unknown number.  Shawn, who had been thinking about the accident, hadn't seen her the whole time. He peeked in the car and looked at her face. 

A sly smile graced her beautiful face.

Shawn pitied the caller while Aaron was proud of his wife-to-be. He knows his Cupcake is a chess champion. She just needs a few seconds to scheme her trap but who is the prey?

Is it really Leon?

Aarvi answered the call of the speaker. She took the honor to greet first, "I see, Leon Harmon, did you call to congratulate me in advance? I am flattered. I don't take gifts, so don't trouble yourself."

Shawn tried his best to control his laughter at her mocking sweet words. Aaron couldn't believe she was provoking Leon instead of getting rid of him to enjoy her day.

The other end was silent for a few seconds. Yes, Leon was surprised how she guessed his call because it was a new number in somebody else's name. 

He accepted her mockery because he was riding the horse in victory assuming she was an idiot to still keep that number. Well, he didn't know it wasn't her personal number and she had specially taken it when he planned to kidnap Tia. Hence Aarvi guessed it was Leon's call as nobody else has that number.

[How could I not?] Leon sneered.

Shawn and Aeon heard Leon's voice and Shawn showed her two fingers asking if it was a call for her second sim. He couldn't believe Leon fell into her trap without knowing.

Aarvi nodded at Shawn and her mobile beeped with a notification. Aarvi opened it and saw it was a short video of her parents tied up, thrown on the ground and they were unconscious.

Aarvi started planning. Leon's aim couldn't be killing her parents and threatening her to submit to him. If that was his plan he could have done it a long time ago. 

If Shawn could analyze the accident as suspicious, now she was sure Leon was trying to put them in a traffic jam, back and forth. So She could guess he was trying to stop her from getting married.

If she was the same Ava Kelly, she probably would have cried out and panicked. Does that mean Leon still doesn't know about her and her parents' relationship?

Is he thinking I am away from the Kelly family because I want to protect them?

She had purposely shown him the important people in her life, excluding the Rivas family elders. Then why was behind the fools?

Next to her, Aaron was aloof after watching the video, and Shawn was glad her parents were under Leon. He wanted to tell Aarvi, 'Tell Leon to torture them.' But he controlled to let her play out.

Leon actually wanted to kidnap Hayden Kelly but he was in Kelly international and his men had noticed people protecting him. Kidnapping Dax was stupidity, Zain Kelly was more mysterious than Aarvi so he chose two fools to his hands.

If Ava Kelly could sacrifice her life to get married to Vance Hays hearing her parents' words, he was sure she would focus on saving her parents instead of getting married.

"So, How is…" Before he could ask how his gift was, he heard Aarvi panicking, "Leon Harmon, bring it to me. Is it fun to play with old people?"

Shawn almost choked on her words. 'Old people?' She was definitely cursing him. Whereas Aaron gently brushed her hair away from her little face. He only cared about his people, in that list, her parents weren't there.

Leon was immediately put into a good mood hearing her nervous voice. [Everything's fair in love and war, Little Lamb.] He sounded lively.

Aarvi threatened him in fear, "Leon Harmon, let them go, RIGHT NOW or else you will regret it."

"Indeed," Shawn mumbled loud enough to reach his brother's ears. She will definitely make Leon regret it but how? He was very much curious.

Leon laughed humorously at her threat assuming she was frightened to lose her parents.

Aarvi hissed in fear and irritation when that laughter didn't die down, "What the hell do you want?"

Leon gradually stopped laughing and came to the point, "Nothing much, I am free, let's talk over coffee." He wasn't an idiot to think he could have her so easily, Aaron would skin him alive if he says anything stupid. "Rosto Cafe, don't waste my time."

The call ended without giving her a chance to utter anything. Aarvi lazily stretched, then leisurely sipped water. Rosto Cafe was an outdoor yet very expensive cafe. She could guess he wouldn't bother to bring any people as he knew she wouldn't kill him.

Shawn excitedly asked, "Little Heart, what's the plan?"

Aarvi looked at her dress, she can't ride a bike. They couldn't wait for another car, she looked around and saw a bicycle shop, not far away.

"Come on, let's get married." She told Aaron and got out of the car. She hurried Shawn as she called him, "Shawn, let's shop."

Shawn ran behind her, thinking what was her plan. Aaron too didn't know what she was up to. He got out of the car to brief the situation to the elders.

When Aaron was done, Aarvi was holding his blazer and wearing a brown long jacket of Shawn. At the corner of the road, Shawn was holding a bicycle for them.

Aaron didn't know her plan so he focused on everyone's safety. 

----

At the Harmon mansion, Leon waited for his men to update about Aarvi before getting ready.

He soon got a picture of Aaron cycling and Aarvi sitting sideways in front of him. She was tense in the picture yet the duo were eye-striking even if it's on cycle. For a second, he admired the couple.

Coming out of his thoughts, he dropped a message to her. [Come alone.] He had no plan to look at the cold murderous gaze of Aaron.

The response came pretty soon, [Aaron is dropping me to the taxi.] Leon understood as she didn't want to waste time, hence she was taking a taxi after the accident zone.

Satisfied, he went to get ready for the date.

----

At the other end, Aaron steadily pedaled the bicycle with Aarvi sitting crossed on the top tube, in front of him.

He chuckled because she purposefully appeared tense so that Leon's men could let Leon know she was with Aaron, then Leon reaches out to her. She wore the hoodie and leaned to his chest.

"Does he think I am stupid?" She muttered, dissatisfied for being still looked down upon by a brainless man. However, if he hadn't done it, she would have never thought of cycling. "Anyway, this is cool. Isn't it? I will thank Leon later." So she focused on enjoying the ride.

Aaron balanced bicycle in a hand as he cupped her chin in another, "My beloved wife has a malevolent brain." Her plans were too quick and precise just by acting a little. He could already imagine the Skylar development under her in the coming years.

"Hmmm… I love my little brain and." She happily sang the words as she held his hand, "And your big heart."

Both continued to flirt, cycling towards the marriage bureau.

Whereas Leon was still in the hopes of meeting Aarvi. He was pleased their next meet was planned by him and the game was in his control.
