The Traps of Black Swan

Even though the Harmon family came from the background of business, Elder Harmon single-handedly built the company. He handed it down to his capable sons. 

Both his sons loved each other and never bothered about company shares or properties, causing them to write down everything in their father's name each time. Hence all the fortune of the Harmon family went under Elder Harmon.

Elder Harmon never bothered to write a will as his sons were filial. They were the type who wouldn't care about having money but loved the family.

When everything was joyous, the tragic accident and subsequent events took Elder Harmon's wife, his sons, daughters-in-law, and a granddaughter away. Elder Harmon stayed strong, to live for his four grandsons.

Things changed when Leon became the president at the young age of twenty-two and Elder Harmon started seeing questionable persons who looked like thugs and criminals going around Leon.

Once a cop approached him with confidential information saying, the accident which took away his younger son, younger daughter-in-law, and granddaughter was actually a preplanned murder. The men involved in it were the men under Leon. 

How could Elder Harmon believe Leon anymore? He needed to keep his other grandsons safe.

He wrote the will and signed it in front of the various important and powerful figures as soon as he sensed Leon was planning to kill Aeon, Sean, and Dylan, if not keeping them under his palm.

Leon got the photocopy of the will from Elder Harmon. Dylan, Sean had very reasonable shares, whereas Aeon was the main prominent pillar. It was obvious that the old man trusted Aeon and his judgment as Dylan used to follow Leon around and Sean was too young and reckless.

The will was so complex that, killing Aeon would get Leon nothing, leaving him alive wouldn't get him anything either. As soon as Elder Harmon dies, the will would immediately come into effect.

The only choice to invalidate the will was finding the original copy of the will and destroying it. Then write a new one and make the old man sign everything under Leon's name.

Hence Leon was biting his tongue and controlling himself from killing the old man as he didn't know where the original will was. 

Leon had even killed the old man's lawyer to know about the place. Then the lawyer's family had fled away to a different part of the country.

The reason why Leon keeps eye on the old man wasn't that he creates ruckus but to keep him safe until Leon gets the original will. The alcohol the old man drinks was a herbal tonic for the old man's body. Elder Harmon was drinking it for so long that he had forgotten how the real alcohol tastes.

The butler helped the old man who was coughing hard to catch a breath. The butler nursed him without forgetting to coax him about the will.

The old man ignored his blabber as usual. He won't fall for Leon's dogs. Then he rested, hoping the Inland Taipan could avenge Leon for the misfortune he brought on the Harmon family.

At Morris hotel,

Shea, who was unconscious the previous night, had drifted off to sleep. Nikun stayed in her room and rested on the day bed. 

At dawn, Shea woke up, slightly opened her eyes, and took time to remember what happened to her the previous day. She jerked up instantly with a loud gasp. She checked her dress and the undergarments hurriedly before breathing a long sigh.

She patted her chest, 'Thank god, I am not molested.' She let out the first breath of relief.

'Am I kidnapped?' She gulped her thoughts and lifted her gaze. Her head tilted, scanning the Morris hotel room. 'Did he perhaps kidnapped me to my hotel only?'

Just before she could confirm herself, she saw Nikun resting on the day bed. She thanked the heavens in mind that he had saved her and he was unharmed. She breathed in relief before getting off the bed with the duvet.

Covering him with a duvet, she adjusted his pillow before she sat on the edge of the daybed. Thinking back on everything, she decided she will never have a one-night stand in Mocon and that would avoid her from creepy persons.

"Focus on my career and me." She encouraged herself in determination.

She quickly changed and went to the gym at the hotel. She wanted to vent the frustration of Wade Merton on something so she chose to beat the sandbag until she was satisfied.

She also thought about strengthening and improving her self-defense which didn't come in use when Wade made her unconscious. 

But thinking about where she should join, she felt her hair raise thinking, 'What if the trainer turned out to be a jerk too?'

She muttered to herself punching the bag, "I should ask Brother Nikun… Or Brother Aaron will help me out."

She was about to punch the bag, Nikun held the bag and squinted his eyes at his sister. He had almost panicked thinking she did something to herself after waking up. 

Looking at her sweat out in the gym, he realized his sister wasn't a cry baby and grew up strong after staying alone for four years.

A huge smile appeared on her face, Shea was about to hug him but Nikun stopped her, "Go and bathe before coming to me." He wasn't a clean freak, anyway, he didn't feel like giving her a hug.

Shea looked at herself. She was wearing shorts and a crop top. Her sportswear looked all fine but she was sweating a lot, she could see droplets on her bare waist rolling down. Her face and neck were wet.

She snorted. "Shouldn't you console me after I was kidnapped? Were you even worried about me?" She questioned standing with her hands on her waist.

Worried? If he wasn't, he wouldn't have run out of the suite without washing his face or brushing his teeth. He rolled his eyes at her as he instructed, "Get ready fast. We will go to the police station first, Aaron is coming there."

Shea ran behind him removing the hand gloves, "How is Brother Aaron? Why is he coming to the police station? We don't have to bother him…"

In the Rolls Royce,

Aarvi got to know Naomi had requested to speak with her on Thursday itself. She joined Aaron to visit the police station. She was glad to hear Aaron considered letting go of Naomi only after looking at Naomi's behavior with Aarvi.

Completing a few urgent emails that needed his attention, Aaron kept his laptop away to speak with Aarvi. She was busy typing mail on her laptop so he waited in absolute silence.

Aarvi sensed him sitting without a word or working. So she closed her laptop immediately, "Do you want to tell me something?" The worry was evident in her voice looking at him contemplating.

Aaron breathed seeing her worry for his silence. He held her hand, he didn't speak about Leon in the night so that she could sleep peacefully. So he chose to let her know about some important issues.

"Do you have plans to end Leon Harmon's life?"

Roach unintendedly became alert hearing the name and the air in the car turned suffocating due to Aarvi's serene unfathomable face.
