The Traps of Black Swan

Choosing the car his Dum Dum gifted him, Dax smoothly reached the Morris hotels ignoring the eyes his car was grabbing.

It wasn't that he couldn't afford that car, instead of getting a bonus to his bank account or another property in his name, he had pestered her to get the car for him.

Bugatti Chiron, one of the fastest, most powerful, and exclusive hybrid sports cars from Bugatti hence it was inevitable the car grabs the attention. Its sophisticated design and technology well suited his personality.

He was very close to the main gate when his mobile beeped showing a message popping up.

Shawn: [Bro, the prey is in. Where are you?]

Instead of typing while driving, he clicked on the microphone and recorded a voice note, [Entering the premises.] His voice was laced with confidence and also anticipation.

Anticipation due to his Dum Dum's plan and the reason behind Aarvi's message that he had received a few minutes before.

The message was, [Aeon Harmon will share the table with you.]

To the public, it might look like Aarvi was promoting the movie which was being produced by Skylar Industries and Amiah Entertainment. But Aarvi never took part in promotion activity unless it's a major project.

Even though this was going to be the first step of Skylar Industries to the Entertainment field, Dax strongly believed Aeon had a role in the Aarvi's play and the latter might not even know why he was actually there.

His eyes soon focused on the crowd staring at his car. He was sure none would guess he was the one in the car.

The Mirage Banquet where all the wealthy society business family would be gathered, seven out of ten of them had laughed at him for having no background, five out of ten wanted him to work under their command.

But today, they could only see him but dare not laugh or carelessly pass a comment.

Will he call that a success?

Nope, the goals will always improvise after reaching each milestone. He reached a milestone in his life and he will strive hard to have a successful career till the end.

The car halted but the message he was waiting for didn't appear. The reporters and the crowd were getting impatient but Dax didn't alight clutching his mobile.

'Ting'

He clicked open the message swiftly and read the content, [After walking your path in the darkness. It's time to shine the brightest.]

Dax shoved his mobile into his blazer's inner pocket smiling at Dum Dum's message. She never missed encouraging him at each milestone of his life.

Alighting the car, he handed the car key fob to the valet who was waiting for him. Hearing the crowd shriek due to their own unexpectedness, Dax buttoned his single button Prussian blue colored blazer.

He wasn't a man to follow the rules, hence he had ditched the tie with two buttons of his shirt open. Groomed in sophistication, he had paired with brown formal shoes.

Walking the red carpet, he posed for the pictures before listening to the reporters' questions. Most of them were filled with admiration for his growth and his girlfriend, then it was about the company and his Dum Dum. He answered a few before entering the hall.

The ones who used to look down on him were greeting him and he was the one to decide if he should greet them back or just nod to it. His behavior was just showing who he respected more.

Shawn walked half a distance when Dax was going towards him. The friends hugged before laughing for no reason. The attendant who was waiting to escort Dax to his seat bowed and left when Dax cued him to leave.

"Looks like girls are going to follow me alone," Shawn commented to tease him. He meant to say Dax has a girlfriend and his relationship status changed which everybody over there knew.

Shawn ignored the few socialites who were staring at them while standing and gossiping. It wasn't like only those two were unmarried over there, there were many groups of young ladies staring at the men who they were interested in.

Dax didn't bother checking them out and finally, his eyes fell on Leon who was busy with businessmen but his eyes were desperately looking for somebody else.

"Who is he waiting for?" Dax asked if in case Shawn knew.

Shawn was checking his line of sight, another lively voice responded to the question, "He is waiting for Twyla."

Shawn and Dax's face morphed to aloofness hearing the name and shifted their gaze to the person who joined their talk, uninvited.

Shawn identified him, "Brother Nick?" He hid his voice of suspicion.

Nikun faintly smiled at Shawn before extending his hand at Dax who was scrutinizing him, "Nikun Morris, President of Morris law firm."

Anyway, Dax didn't lift his hand and seized the man being wary of his interruption.

Shawn interrupted immediately, they were always protective of Aarvi, after the incident three years back they were overprotective of her, "Brother Aaron's friend. Little Heart knows him from the past."

Nikun noticed Dax free up after hearing 'Little Heart' and shook his hand, "Dax Grant, CEO of Skylar." There weren't any emotions still thinking how NIkun knows Twyla.

Shawn asked as though they were going to forget the important topic and talk about something else, "Brother Nick, Is Twyla attending the banquet?" He was careful asking the question even if Nikun is Aaron's friend.

Twyla, the famous investor of country S. It is none other than Aarvi. Her real identity was hidden as she was young when she started investments. She didn't want any attention to focus on studying.

Nikun chuckled witnessing the two friends of Aarvi being so protective of her. He was glad she was finally having real friends unlike how she had pretentious scheming friends during the school days.

"I know who Twyla is. I was right in front of her when she used her identity to bring Leon to the banquet." Nikun briefed.

Shawn and Dax looked at each other before relaxing but soon their brows knitted, 'She never tells us her plans. Dum Dum/Little Heart, how will you escape today?' Both had the same thought.

Nikun hardly was in contact with Shawn, and it was the first time he met Dax so he couldn't guess what was going on in their mind other than assuming they probably were thinking of Aarvi and Leon.

Shawn and Dax were thinking if there could be a reason for Aarvi to speak her plan in front of Nikun. Then it flashed to them, 'Aarvi was testing Nikun if she could trust him completely.'

Since Leon attended the banquet, Nikun gained the trust.

Without any intention, people started to discuss Dax has a close personal connection with Morris too. Ones who had looked down and bullied Dax in the past using their power realized it was time they should behave before it's too late.

Meanwhile, Dylan went closer to Leon and whispered, "Aeon has received a personal invitation for the banquet."

Dylan stood back and hid his smirk looking at Leon's face darkening at another failure.

'How Aeon could earn a personal invite to the banquet?' Leon's thought, Amiah entertainment wasn't doing that well which could earn him an invite.

It was another failure for Leon because Leon wants Aeon to be successful under his hands and commands. Leon couldn't let him earn the glory. He wanted everything to be in his name, 'Leon Harmon and his family.'

Disturb Leon's calmness right from the beginning - Checked.
