The Traps of Black Swan

Eliza spent a very long time sitting, pacing, watching darkness while thinking about what to do. Ultimately, she chose to stay there for two brothers.

Going back to Leon now or the latter days had the same result, so she thought to make them understand that her stay over there is an invite for the troubles.

She glanced at the study room where Aeon was busy arranging something. She went to the kitchen and prepared a cup of tea before going to Aeon. She didn't want to keep him awake by coffee.

"Aeon..." Her meek voice sounded at the door before she entered inside.

Aeon was busy checking the scripts and reorganizing the scenes when he saw Eliza.

He was slightly surprised to receive a cup of tea before she sat on the floor at a bit of distance.

"Why are you working so late in the night? May I be of any help to you?" Eliza asked, keeping her teacup aside.

Aeon took a sip of chamomile tea, and a thought flashed in his mind, "Sister-in-law, you were working before marriage. Are you still passionate about working?"

Eliza was stunned. She had completed business and financial management and worked at her father's company before her marriage with Leon.

Then Leon sweetly coaxed her to enjoy the lavish life, so she lost her passion making her whole life revolve around a man while he slept around with many women.

Eliza wanted to shake her head because Leon wouldn't like it.

Aeon sensed her reaction, so he interjected right after another sip of the soothing tea, "I asked your opinion, sister-in-law."

He meant he didn't want the response, which would be Leon's opinion. He knew Eliza's all opinion, taste, choice first thinks of Leon before responding.

Eliza bit her lips and hesitantly yet promptly responded, "I-I used to enjoy working with Dad." She accepted in difficulty.

Aeon faintly smiled. When the day comes, Leon would be thrown down, Eliza could be occupied with office work, or make her the managing director of Lane companies that is merged with Harmon Industries or just give back what initially belonged to her.

Thinking of Eliza in business, he remembered Aarvi before shaking his head to disperse his thoughts.

Eliza accompanied him with very light general talk until he completed his work, and both went to their bedrooms.

Around seven in the morning, at Skyarc Penthouse,

Shea stretched her sore body like a lazy cat. Despite sleeping less and late, she was fresh and glowing. She turned next to her and saw the devilishly handsome man sleeping peacefully on his stomach.

He wasn't too roguish nor girly. He had a perfect touch of masculinity, making her swoon on his face.

She suddenly propped her head, remembering he has a fantastic physique. He was sleeping with just loose night pants around his lower waist.

His back was too irresistible, causing her face to turn red, but she pouted the next second when her eyes landed on the tiny scratches she had left on his back.

'I will write him a cream to get rid of the marks.' She thought before thinking about what she was wearing.

She looked down at herself to realize she was in an oversized bathrobe before she flopped on the bed, smacking her head.

The previous night,

After their delightful first round, she heard Shawn tell her to take her time and leave. He had even pointed to the guest room if she wanted to get fresh, but she had watched in slight disappointment.

She hadn't had such a good time in a long time, so she had tried her luck. Shawn was going upstairs when she teased him, more like provoked him if he could do only once.

While flirting, it somehow reached the point that they actively challenged each other about who would be drained first.

Then their second round in the living room, both marked at the stairs, then enjoyed at the bay window of his bedroom. Then ended on his kingsize bed.

After her first time losing chastity, it was the second time she felt her body sore, hard to even close her legs. This was the first time she enjoyed doing it to the core instead of just feeling used or using somebody.

Shawn had thrown the used rubber and went top of her, "I thought you want to do it on a balcony." He teased, seeing her hard to even keep her eyes open.

Shea tried a few times before her voice reached his ears, "H-how are you still frisky?" She was really amused about the man and gave up on their challenge, "I can't move a pinkie now."

She felt the handsome monstrous man smirk at her, yet she couldn't react other than closing her eyes, hoping he won't throw her out in that state.

Shawn knew he had worn her off. It wasn't his mistake alright, why did she have to provoke him?

He pulled the duvet for her and went to the much-needed shower. He was covered in a fine layer of his sweat with hers.

It seemed like he didn't have to work out in the gym the next day.

He switched on the bedroom lights for a quick clean of the bedroom before sleeping. His eyes fell on the woman who was frowning too much.

His first thought, 'did many times make her ill?' He was just proud of his stamina.

He checked her temperature by keeping his backhand before realizing she was uncomfortable.

He shook her gently as he asked, "Do you wanna take a bath?" He doubted she must be asleep and won't get a response.

A soft hum sounded in acknowledgment.

Shawn was about to say, 'Then take one.' Shea pulled herself up before tripping herself and fell to his arms.

Shawn was quick to balance her, "I-I am truly exhausted. I will take one later." She thought to recover some energy before getting off the bed.

Shawn had to hear it by keeping his ear close to her lips and saw her limp in his arms yet couldn't catch the sleep.

Shaking his head in resignation, he filled the bathtub for the first time to his one of the flings. He always saw women trying to cater to him just so they could spend a few more minutes, but here, he laid her in the bathtub and handed her the body sponge.

"Feel lucky. I am just in a good mood today."

Despite being tired, she smiled, adding her words, "Thank me…." She meant she is the reason for his good mood.

Shawn had a playful smile biting his lower lip because she was right before he left the bathroom, "Alright, bath and come out."

He brought back the room to the normal state when she tried her best to wash but had dozed off soon.

….

Shea giggled to herself, thinking DJ Prince is the perfect husband material for bringing her out of the bathtub and wrapped her well in the bathrobe.

Of course, she didn't know 'DJ Prince' was also adoring her unknowingly when she was sleeping peacefully like a baby on his bed.

Stretching herself, she thought to pay him back with a mouth-savoring breakfast before leaving silently.

She got off the bed and froze. 'Why does this view feel so familiar?' She thought by looking out at the city.

She shook her head to disperse thoughts and turned to go to the bathroom.

Her jaws dropped.
