The Traps of Black Swan

Eliza knew what Aarvi was pointing out by mentioning the 'truth' but she couldn't bring herself to say that truth of Leon to her two brothers-in-law. She had promised Leon that she would keep it to herself and she didn't want to break her promise.

She had been through hellish life and she didn't like Ava Kelly was using Sean so she flung her hand staring right into Aarvi's face.

Sean and Aeon were late to react as they were lost in their thoughts. They could only hold their breath when Aarvi's face turned icy cold, she took a step back to miss her hand touching her face and held Eliza's hand at ease before she could plan on swinging it back.

Both men sprinted to them and pulled Eliza away, in case she tried to attack Aarvi. Aarvi knew it was reasonable to react that way but didn't expect Eliza to take it physically. She had expected her to be smart, instead of blaming her for Leon's impotence.

Clenching her fist, Eliza sneered looking at Aarvi while the two brothers were stopping her to protect the unknown, "The truth?" 

"Sister-in-law, let's talk." Aeon patiently tried to stop Eliza.

"Sil, Aarvi is helping us." Sean tried to make her think rationally.

Eliza ignored the brother and glared at Aarvi who was rubbing her hand with a tissue. She hissed, "Yes, I should tell them the truth." She didn't know Leon was sleeping around with many women. She got to know later but Leon never treated Eliza rudely, he used to respect and care about her until three years back. 

Eliza didn't know what Ava Kelly did to Leon to cause the impotence. If Ava Kelly hadn't done it, Leon wouldn't have been torturing Eliza day and night. So all she could think was Ava Kelly ruined her life by hurting Leon.

Aeon and Sean were like lost men in the forest, looking at the two ladies without knowing what was that complete truth Aarvi brought up. 

Eliza continued blaming everything on Aarvi, "It's because of you I am living life in fear. If you weren't born, I wouldn't have seen the past three years." Anger took over her tongue.

Aarvi has the immense patience to handle such situations. But, 'If you weren't born…' hit her really hard. She grew up hearing those words from her parents, day and night. She wasn't Ava Kelly anymore to hear the rubbish.

"If. I. Wasn't. Born." Aarvi coldly uttered a word for word. The trio unknowingly fell silent looking at her smile. That wasn't any sweet smile, her eyes were threatening and her smile was dangerous. It felt like peace before a storm and was accelerating their heartbeats.

Eliza, who wanted to continue her words, started stammering without being able to peel her gaze away or think.

Aarvi took a step closer, she had thought she could sit and calmly speak with Eliza. However she had forgotten, people tend to blame things on easy targets. Bad luck, Aarvi wasn't going to listen to the same bullshit.

"Alex!!" Her sharp loud voice resonated in the villa.

The door burst open with three entering together briskly. They measured the situation before they stood behind three Harmons. But the three weren't able to peel their eyes off her serene yet menacing smile.

Aarvi's eyes shifted from Eliza to the man behind her, "Give her a taste of what her husband does with innocents." She ordered without a hint of emotions. The six were shocked to the wits.

What does Leon do with innocents? He sexually abuses them for his physical pleasure. Aarvi's order meant Eliza will be abused now.

First, to understand her intention was Alex, she wanted to inflict fear in Eliza. Alex had worked with Aarvi for two years now, he knew her to a pretty extent when it comes to handling people. So he was smart to understand the situation. 

Aeon and Sean couldn't believe their ears while Eliza started screaming before anybody could even touch a hair on her body.

"H-how could you do this?" She cried, reaching for Aeon to help her. Her whole being was trembling like a wilted leaf. Those men looked cold and frightening so her tears rolled down at the thought of an unknown man assaulting her.

"I can," Aarvi smirked an answer and cued Alex to separate her. Because only he was calm whereas others couldn't take the blow. Actually, she was proud of their hesitation else she would have kicked their balls.

Instead of pretending to be dragging her towards a room, Alex shortened it and gave the same effect. He held Eliza's arm and pushed her to the couch which seemed like he threw her on the couch to violate her in front of all.

Aeon and Sean were torn. They can't support one here as the wrong one was Leon Harmon and it was affecting the two women and their judgment. Yet they had trust in Aarvi that she wouldn't do anything to Eliza as she is the one who saved her from Leon.

However, they tried to help Eliza but Aarvi grunted, "Stay right there." 

The duo froze at her command. Aeon knew Aarvi was heartless but didn't expect her to teach Eliza in a rough and heart shuddering way. Whereas Sean panicked, "A-A-Aarvi, Sil is i-innocent."

Meanwhile, Eliza screamed at the top of her lungs asking Aeon for help looking at Alex's chilly gaze. There was fear as the men around them looked more powerful.

Aarvi cued the Shadow team members to leave before she sat on the corner of the center table facing Eliza from near. 

Eliza's face was streaked in tears, heart rammed against her chest, and trembled terribly. She saw Aarvi extend her hand, giving her a glass of water. She was scared but Aarvi's aloof gaze felt like she was giving her an order. Her hands shook but she took the glass as she sniffled. Holding the glass in both hands, she sipped water trying to compose.

Aeon and Sean watched Aarvi's back. She was sitting in a posture that spoke of dominance and confidence. She was still emitting coldness that was greatly oppressing them from speaking. If there was somebody else in her place, both brothers were sure they would have hit her as soon as the order passed her lips.

Eliza took time before understanding Leon was trying to molest Aarvi and to escape, she had no choice and probably kicked or something before escaping. Eliza had the hope of Aeon helping her, did Aarvi have the hope? Aarvi looked so young, what was her age three years back? Such many questions started haunting Eliza's mind.

"Fifteen Seconds," Aarvi noted the time Eliza had to fight her fear of molestation. "Do you even have any idea how many girls have fought, cried, and lost lives due to your psychopathic husband?" Her voice was unyielding and stern.

And the ludicrous thing was, after suffering under an animal like Leon, Eliza still didn't wish for his death but Aarvi's. Why? Because she had escaped him by kicking?

Eliza remembered Amiah, Aeon's first love. She sniffled hard as she glanced at Aeon. Eliza felt like she should have killed Leon on the day she got to know Leon was a bloody r.a.p.i.s.t. But at that time, all she had was fear of Leon and selfish wishes to save herself and her parents.

She felt insignificant and thoughtless for never standing for Aeon but took his help to stay safe from Leon. She cowered in shame.
