The Traps of Black Swan

Aarvi helped Shane to sit back on the couch. She didn't have any plan to hurt Shane. He already paid for his greediness. If he had treated her well, he could have lived like a king. He flunked his duties, he failed to be a father so he was paying accordingly.

"Beggar!?" Aarvi mused with a mocking smile painted on her face. "Jose Kelly, who is a moocher here?" She taunted him back. 

Sitting back, she questioned looking at Jose seething in anger, "You were inhuman for one petty car. Jose Kelly... I bloody own the whole company." She threw the copy of ownership papers on his face.

"If you had told me that you wanted a car, I could have pulled all your favorite cars at your doorstep." She snickered, "But you shoved me to the mouth of hell."

Jose clenched his teeth and glared at her, hiding his fear behind the anger. He was aware he could have got a sports car if he had requested Ava to ask their grandfather. Wouldn't that be called begging? Why would he ask a beggar to get him a car?

And now, he knew if he had maintained his fake love for his sister, she would have been fool enough to get him everything he asked for. But who knew she would rise like a Pheonix!?

Recalling how those men tortured her to death, his hand itched to hurt her. He had dragged her by the hair and shoved her to the ground. He could do it again, couldn't he?

Little did he know, she didn't fight him in the past because he broke her into pieces, betrayed her mercilessly. Now, he was nothing to her.

Aarvi looked at Shane who didn't understand anything. "How does it feel to raise a monster at home, Dad? Don't even think your Little Master is an innocent child. He grew up to become just like you and your wife. Greedy and unsatisfied as his father. Malicious and inhuman as his mother. He would kill anybody for his pride, including you."

Shane: "..."

He didn't know how to react to that. It was clear they poisoned their son's character. However, he still couldn't understand what Jose did to Ava aka Aarvi Evans.

Aarvi's eyes shifted when she sensed a person by the hallway. She saw Aaron breathing in relief after looking at her safe. His eyes widened when he sensed Jose grab the coffee cup. He was about to take a step, Aarvi reacted first.

'Slash'

Aarvi unlocked the buckle around her waist, swung the leather belt before Jose could throw the coffee on her. The warm coffee spilled on Jose's hand and he cried at the pain inflicted on his arm.

"Jose Kelly, did you think I couldn't fight you again?" She laughed mockingly, "I was heartbroken to know my little brother was feeding me to dogs." In the end, she swung the belt harder, hit his back.

Aaron looked at his wife, he could feel her force was tremendous. If she whipped a few more times with the same strength, Jose would faint. Anyway, he had no intention to stop her.

Shane was so shocked at the first strike, he was frozen. At the second strike, he reached Jose and covered. He started trembling as he requested Aarvi, "Av- Aarvi, he was young back then, he failed to understand. He will learn his lesson. Don't be mad anymore."

Aarvi sniggered. If not anything, Shane at least wished to provide Jose well. He was ready to protect without fearing she might lash him off too. She didn't whip him in the past. She did it because he was going to attack her. Whether young or old, Jose was poisonous. She wore her belt back on her waist, over her dress.

As a father, what Shane did was commendable but she was left alone, again.

Zain, who watched Shane protect Jose, felt his blood boil. Why couldn't he be a father to Aarvi but only Jose?

Aaron ignored them and went to Aarvi. His fingers gently caressed her cheek, "Little Fool…"

Aarvi forced a smile and breathed a sigh looking at Shane helping Jose just for the two whips. And she was beaten to death right in front of Jose's eyes. "I want to go home."

Aaron nodded and took her bag from the couch. He was guiding her out when Zain asked grimly, "Are you letting him off?" He was displeased.

Aarvi glanced at Jose who was in pain. Jose grew up like a boy who would be hurt just by a small scratch. A little pain was deathly pain for him. "Am I so good?"

She wasn't. She was throwing him out of the house. He will have no place at villa or mansion. Three years were a lot to lose all his friends. His girlfriend married a rich heir. He was nothing, he would beg on the streets and die like a rat in a corner.

Beggar? She wasn't. He will be.

"If I do just 1% of what he did to me, he will die." She glanced at the delicate man on the couch. If those same whips were on her body, she wouldn't have taken even ten seconds to stand back on her feet.

Zain saw the caretaker of the villa and Shane ready to throw Jose out of the villa. But he was still not satisfied. He looked at her and asked, "What did he do?"

She inhaled through her mouth and sighed. She didn't want to recall anything. Anyway, she briefed, "When I ran out of Sebastian Dome's car, I had managed to seek the roof from a family. I thought about hiding there for the night. When Leon's men came looking for me, those people lied to them as they saw no girl. I was hiding in a box. 

When Jose came shouting 'Sister Ava' I saw him through the window, I was an idiot to come out without understanding how he could know my location. In the name of a shortcut, he took me to the Shipyard warehouse. When I saw Leon there, I told him they wanted to hurt me and we should leave immediately…"

Aarvi took a shallow breath and continued, "He laughed at me with those men, grabbed my hair, dragged me to Leon, threw me to his feet, and thanked him for Pagani. I thought he would cry and try to save me... He was drinking beer while hearing my cries and screams. I was a fool."

Aarvi truly wanted to consider Jose was young and he was influenced by her parents and Leon took advantage of him. She would have certainly forgiven him if he had apologized to her. She might not have kept him close, she wouldn't have punished him horribly. But she was wrong again. 

Jose looked at her with the eyes that screamed he wanted her dead. He didn't like her living well or being alive. His blood was probably boiling seeing himself was worse condition while she was unreachable.

The whole afternoon she thought if she should give him the pain and show him how she was feeling when he was enjoying her pain. But she couldn't decide. Punishing others felt easier than her little brother. 

She initially planned to meet Jose on Sunday, since Aaron asked her on Sunday, she wanted to spend her time with Aaron as she was busy in the past two weeks. Hence she thought to end Jose's chapter on a good note. She was ready to forgive him if he was truly apologetic and regretting his actions.

Aaron took her out when Zain marched towards Jose. Before they could exit the villa and close the door, heart shuddering screams echoed in the villa.

Ignoring the noise, Aaron took her fur ear muffs out of his pocket and put them on her ears. Seeing her nose tip turn red at the brush of the winter wind, he quickly removed the knitted wrap from his shoulder and wrapped it around her neck covering up to her nose. 

Aarvi craned her neck and placed her chin on the wrap to bring her lips out. Then she asked, "Ronron, isn't throwing him on the road enough? He has nobody to help. The biting cold, hungry stomach, empty pockets are the best lessons in life.. He needs to learn the value of relationships and the need for good manners."
