The Traps of Black Swan

The chefs who were suspicious in the beginning regretted their behavior with Aaron, who is the host of the party.

Under the astonishment of the chefs and waiters, Aaron held the tray which had a bowl of soup and a plate of spicy Caribbean shrimps.

Roach was blocking others making way for Aaron.

Aaron was satisfied with the menu selected by Nikun and was leaving the kitchen when he felt somebody rushing towards him. He was thinking it might be a hurried waiter while lifting his gaze but a lady.

A lady in an evening gown was dashing towards him with her eyes purposefully down, her cheeks flushed and the face full of anticipation.

Aaron's face turned dark at the annoying scheme of the lady and jerked aside being very careful about the food which he was taking for his Cupcake.

Roach was swift to sense the change in Aaron. As soon as Aaron went to defense mode, Roach understood the attack was from near so he swung his hand with a curled fist before he could even see who the attacker was.

'Pow'

Ones who witnessed it gasped in shock while watching the young lady fly in the air due to the strong force of Roach's punch.

"Ahhh…" The young lady cried out in horror and rolled on the floor hideously.

She had thought if she bumped into Aaron, he would hold her when she falls back. Many movies had shown male leads falling in love with innocent clumsy female leads that way.

Who knew she had a different fate?

She continued to wail in shame while other ladies scurried away witnessing her state. They realized the doctor and his bodyguard is merciless and they shouldn't mess with him.

Roach and the chefs looked at Aaron who was busy checking nothing spilled away from the tray: "..."

Roach shot a cold look behind at chefs and waiters, silently warning them none stood step front before he led Aaron out. He also pushed aside the wailing lady with his leg totally aware of why the lady tried to run into Aaron.

Unbothered Aaron carefully placed the tray in front of Aarvi and adorned his seat looking at her licking lips forgetting she was Twyla and had many eyes on her.

"Thank you, Aaron…" She sang it sweetly, grabbing the fork and tasting the shrimp first.

She was about to go on with the second shrimp when she realized the stares at her. The three had their jaws dropped before Karsen elegantly stood up to fetch something for his wife.

Looking at Karsen, slowly many husbands started visiting the buffet corner to get some food after meeting the glowering eyes of their wives.

The one who always got the caring husband title by always being a step ahead looked at everyone following Aaron.

Is it another failure?

Dylan felt like Leon was about to burst into flames due to the couple who were attacking Leon deliberately and accidentally.

Looking at people focusing on the food, the dinner started earlier to let them enjoy it.

Since Aarvi can't go around in the hall, Aaron probed serving her salad, "Shall I take you out? You can have dinner peacefully."

Aarvi who was focused on the voices in her ears smirked before pulling Aaron's hand to listen to her, "Your Rivas security is amazing. I had just instructed them how to work, they are killing it. Leon is stabbing salmon fish on his plate."

On the long stretch of the ring road, Leon had planted five teams and all five were annihilated as if they were just a piece of cake.

Aaron just smiled in response, he was glad she was using his resources instead of asking Zain to send the men. Aaron knew the Rivas security team was waiting for some real-life adventure and they are enjoying the disintegration of Leon's plan instead of carrying it out as work.

The sulking ones this time were the Shadow team who had nothing to do until Aarvi including them in the plan she had for Leon in the banquet hall.

But they didn't know her plan for Leon had already initiated. As the failure counts increased Leon was holding the last string of his anger control and was finding it hard to be in composition.

He wanted to smash, break and throw everything in the hall but he couldn't. He started to feel like heavy chains were circling him and tying him to the chair with big red letters appearing in his mind, 'BEHAVE.'

He couldn't laugh or cry. He neither could scream in annoyance nor digest the defeated feeling. He was being tormented in every way. Inside himself, he was wreaking havoc on everything like a lunatic which he wanted to do for real to curb his anger but he just couldn't due to people around.

Finding the way to cool himself down, Leon grabbed the crystal full body wine decanter when a waiter was pushing the trolley next to him.

In the show of good husband, he poured the red wine to Eliza and then himself. Grabbing the stem of the flute, he looked at Eliza in his darkened gaze.

Eliza couldn't believe he was giving her wine, she knew something was going on with him but had no guts to ask. Seeing his glare at her, she quickly grabbed her flute and clinked the flutes to show she was accompanying him.

Being an obedient wife, Eliza didn't take a sip but pretended to be taking one while Leon drowned everything down his throat in a go before pouring himself more.

He was about to pour wine to Eliza again but her flute had the wine. Incensed his own wife wasn't listening to him, "Drink." He commanded through his gritting teeth.

The poor soul drowned the red liquid trembling profusely under his gaze.

[Boss, the show will begin.] The waiter said after witnessing Eliza started drinking.

Aarvi just hummed in response to the waiter. Since Leon can't smell anything, her initial plan was affecting Leon's tasting buds too before serving sparkling white wine to Eliza. Unfortunately, Eliza wasn't touching alcohol on her own accord, Aarvi didn't want to spike water as Leon could throw the blame on Rivas and Morris. She won't let him taint them.

Now that Leon was forced to the dead end, his thoughts were so messed up that Eliza had to gulp down quite a few glasses in just a minute.

Thus, they started to garner too many eyes on them, especially when the waiters froze without knowing how to stop that. They looked troubled but had no nerve to interrupt Leon. So they started looking for the manager thinking he could handle the situation.

Soon table after table, all the guests started to watch them in shock. He wasn't the Leon they know. They know the elegant, generous Leon Harmon who smiles at them and helps them if needed.

They know Leon Harmon who treasures his wife like a priceless gem on the earth, looks at her as though she is the air he breathes, and always protects her from the evil world keeping her in his safe haven.

So who is the man forcing Eliza Lane to drink till her throat?

They know Leon Harmon who stands for his brothers, supporting them endlessly.

Why did Aeon Harmon detest his own elder brother so much?

All started to question Leon's behavior.
