The Traps of Black Swan

Nico knew he could reach out to Aarvi and she could do something about it but he wasn't ready to give up or to reach out for help so quickly. It wasn't his style, since he had taken the mission, promised Aarvi to make up to her, he wanted to give it another try.

"Captain, why is the mission aborted? Why don't we just take a quick look?" He responded to the officer while his hand cued to his teammates as 'Fake an attack.'

Before two or three steps everyone heard the noise of a bullet in the air, 'Snap.'

'Snap.'

Nico's teammate who shot in the air screamed to cause a commotion, "Bullets'¦ Lay down, hide'¦"

The three members snuck into the container when everyone ran around to a safe location. The rest of the officers hurried the ship's staff to a safe location. Nico stayed with the other captain to stop him from going towards the container.

'Snap'

'Snap'

The bullet continued to fire in the air that was causing some of the staff to scream in fear. It gave the wrong clue to the officers as people were getting hurt.

Meanwhile, Nico's team managed to remove two or three boxes that were filled with modern improvised firearms that were still book pictures to them.

"Captain, the firearms are here'¦"

Nico smirked, now even if country N officers wanted to back out, they had no choice other than to seize the goods. Only military cargo holds the authority to ship firearms, the private cargo had no permission to export such items hence Nico's plan was considered a success.  However, they need to leave the country before they investigate and get to know Nico's team faked an attack.

Excluding a few officers, everyone rushed in and checked the weapons, country N officers were shocked and reported to their chief about the same. Going forward, the containers were moved to the port of country N while Nico and his team pretended like they were going to take charge of the whole scenario.

"General Marken, thank you for your cooperation. Our ship is on the way, we will handle the case accordingly."

The old man Marken sternly looked at Nikun and sipped his coffee. This was an international crime, the country's military force would have a good name if it's under their country so the old man wasn't ready to give up on the case without knowing it could bring danger to the country.

"Captain Burton, this is your secret mission, I appreciate your timely actions. However, we would like to handle it from here without leaking your involvement." He meant he will keep their secret as a secret and take the credit. He disregarded who had pressured the military to stop the mission.

"But'¦"

The old man's smile was sly, "We expect your cooperation on this just as we did."

Nico and his team looked at each other. To the old man's eyes they were disappointed however they were happy to get rid of possible danger. Nico didn't directly accept it, "General Marken, could you give us a minute, we will talk with our chief and get back to you."

"Sure." The old man stood up with his coffee and walked out of the room very proudly.

Nico reported to Major Louis who instructed them to leave the country quickly so that they shouldn't be caught due to the fake attack they created.

In two hours, Nico and his team left the country and country N found the bullets that belonged to country A. But they had no power to question or control them anymore.

By the evening, the news leaked far and wide about the Country-N military seizing the firearms from a cargo ship belonging to Mercator logistics. Jaxon took the cue and started his moves to acquire the Mercator when the company executives were being interrogated. Since Evans had the proof Mercator was receiving illegal money transfer for shipping of firearms, Evans was in advantage.

Tuesday evening, at Skyarc,

Aarvi lazily stretched her body when Jaxon turned her plans into actions. It was morning in country S so her actual plans were still the same and set in action.

Aarvi dialed her team, "Keep an eye at the police station. Somebody will meet Leon to report about losing consignment. I want that person's information." She wanted to make sure that person wasn't a threat to her or her family.

She ended the call after listening to the response. Aaron, who was preparing a report on his new research paper glanced at her. She was the one who leaked about the country-N seizing the goods so that when the market opens in Country S, Mercator will fall giving the perfect opportunity for Jaxon to act.

"Congratulations Ms. Aarvi Evans." Ninety-nine percent of her plans were successful.

Seize Leon's illegal transport - Checked.

Break Leon's connection with international criminals - Checked.

After all, those people could help Leon to escape the prison and country. Now they had no time to worry about Leon.

Reveal Leon's drug market - Checked.

Divorce of Leon and Eliza - Checked.

Domestic violence charges - Checked.

Acquiring Mercator logistics - Initiated.

Aarvi was done with the day's work. She has to spend a lot of time with her husband so she pushed the laptop away and sounded disappointed and lazy while leaning on the couch, "Just congratulations?" Then she crawled on the couch, moved his laptop away, and sat on his lap straddling him.

Despite knowing what she was up to, he asked when her naughty fingers caressed his jawline, "Then what else Mrs. Rivas is expecting from her husband?" His voice was low and fascinating.

Aarvi's expression changed to innocent as if she was one, "Of course, a hug." She sounded so bashful.

His wife knew well to trigger him even if he tried to play her. "Oh really!?"

Aarvi continued to tempt his body while her expression stayed all demure picking a random yet important topic. Aaron involuntarily closed his eyes when her slender fingers loomed over his eyes.

She carefully brushed his thick black lashes and he stayed still. She asked while her fingers were lingering on his face, tracing his sharp features. "Did you speak with Shawn? Is everything alright at their end?" Her voice was low and mellow to his ears. It was more like a whisper.

Her innocent touch was more tempting than playful. His hands shifted her waist stopped her from moving and making him hard. He opened his eyes and her eyes smiled meeting his gaze. Then he watched her eyes curiously grazing on his face in curiosity without a hint of devilish naughtiness.

He let her do her research and focused on the topic of Shawn, "He is fine. Shea is afraid of dating so he is trying to remove that fear by giving her the choice to follow him." He again closed his eyes, enjoying Aarvi's cold finger running on his warm skin.

Aarvi's lips curled to O understanding Shawn was holding the shorter end of the stick without giving a name to their relationship. "If they speak to each other, they can solve it."

Aaron hummed in response. Aarvi's fingers suddenly stopped and she pouted by recalling her conversation with Shea. She complained like a little girl, "I didn't like it when I heard Shea was rude to Shawn." Aarvi would have taught her a good lesson if Shea was a stranger. But after knowing Shea's reasons, Aarvi didn't get angry.

Aaron let out an amused chuckle. His hand shifted to the back of her head and pinned her on the couch as he went on top of her. Opening his eyes to her sullen face, "My dear wife, everyone has their own pursuit."

She is aware of it. She hadn't understood Aaron's feelings. Even when he confessed, she tried to run away from him, had her numerous confusion and hesitation. She was glad she didn't miss her Ronron by doing anything stupid.

Now it was Shea's turn, she could only hope this period doesn't bring more misunderstanding between Shea and Shawn.

Aaron caressed her soft cheek with the back of his fingers. Her black orbs swirled with complex emotions as they slowly cleared, and her lips curled to an attractive smile.  It didn't take long to see her lips tug in a tempting smirk. He heard her sugary yet provocative voice, "Love me'¦ Here..." She meant on the couch.

Aaron smirked as if challenging her, "Get what you want, Mrs. Rivas." He sat back on the couch leaving her alone and speechless.

Realizing he played her by pinning her down, she pounced on the man like a tigress and bit his neck. Bringing him on his knees, she achieved what she wanted. Of course, it won't end until she feeds the huge appetite of the big bad wolf.

Forgetting the world being with her husband, she also forgot to keep track of what James Crawford was up to after leaving the courtroom.
