The Traps of Black Swan

Looking at Aaron getting closer, Leon couldn't contemplate how to react. He felt his throat dry, and his chest felt tight unbearable to breathe. If he attacks and if the camera is still on, he would fall into deeper trouble. If he doesn't do anything, Aaron would torture him. Looking at Aaron's confidence and fearless eyes, he knew none would stop Aaron.

"What do you want?" Leon's low growl sounded in the office. 

Aaron needs to leave soon and reach the hospital before Aarvi. He didn't want them to discuss this or argue. Even though Aarvi didn't rush to him or go to the penthouse, he knew she still wanted him to completely cool off. So he had no time to sit and chit chat.

He watched Leon avoiding his eyes and looking anywhere but him. Hiding his fear and the confusion. Aaron already knew Leon had appointed the international and famous lawyer just two days back. He was on an international flight, making his way to the country. He couldn't reach till evening and Leon proceedings will begin from Monday. 

Aarvi's plan was to, smoothly put Leon behind the bars for two straight days. In the two days, she will arrange all her trump cards and Nikun was prepared and versed about every point and detail about Leon.

'Thud.' Aaron kicked Leon's chair hard and stumbled the man to the ground.

Leon clenched his teeth to bear the pain that was caused by pressing his swollen hand on the ground. Then he snarled, "You can't do this."

Aaron snickered, watching him holding his right hand. The hand which dared to reach his wife and hold her hair. "Leon Harmon, I am not as kind as my wife."

'Kind!?' Leon wanted to laugh at it. 'If she is kind, then I am a saint.' He thought and groaned when Aaron stepped on his backhand on the right and squashed to the ground.

"F**k off…" Leon said through his teeth trying to push Aaron away. Aaron was too strong to be moved that easily. Leon squirmed and pushed Aaron to no avail. The pain was unbearable under his boots. 

Leon lifted his hand to punch his leg, Aaron easily held his left hand and twisted, making Leon groan painfully. Sometimes physical torture to Leon was required to show him how the victims of his torture had endured.

"Leon Harmon, I really wanted you dead. You know it is satisfying to see the struggle and have no way out." Aaron smoothly yet coldly said as though he was using no force against Leon.

Aaron lifted his leg and kicked Leon away. He knew why Leon was holding back. If he goes out even with a small bruise, Leon would have another offense on the list.

Leon's face twisted in pain and anger. Clenching his teeth to bear the pain, a determination flashed in his eyes. What if he couldn't get Harmon Industries, he swore to himself to kill the husband and wife and flee the country. He had everything prepared. If he can't win, he would never live in the prison. Hook or by crook, he will lead a better life and kill the couple sooner or later. If possible everyone who supports them.

While he was lost in his thoughts, he felt Aaron grab his neck from behind and pull him up. It was difficult to pull the grown-up big build man so Aaron had to use the other hand and shove Leon to the wall.

Leon was caught off guard and groaned in pain. Holding his head. Aaron was giving him pain which doesn't look on the skin. 

Aaron flexed his arms which were strained due to a higher build man. There was no cunning smile and an expression to say he was enjoying it. It was just aloof, hard to describe.

He lifted his and kicked Leon's back at the joint where the nerve was close and the pain would shoot up to his peak.

"Ahhh…" Leon held his back and cried in pain, falling on the floor. Aaron wasn't giving him time to compose. Even though he wasn't thrashing him hard, his every move was giving him pain that was making him dizzy.

Aaron grabbed Leon's collar. He pulled him up, just to shove his back against the wall. Leon's face was red in pain and anger. Testing his anger wasn't good and Aaron didn't want Leon to be hospitalized so he watched him kneel on the ground pressing the point where he had throbbing pain.

"Leon Harmon, never make a doctor enemy," Aaron advised contemptuously. He just needed a needle or sharp thorn to kill a person. A deep study of human anatomy taught him to treat at the same time, he learned what could be life-threatening. 

Aaron took a syringe and a bottle. He drew a liquid and injected Leon. Not like a doctor. He shoved the needle on the shoulder and administered the entire liquid to his body in one swift move. 

Leon panicked, he brushed his shoulder to throw the needle away but Aaron had lifted his hand. He asked in horror, "Did you poison me?" He didn't want to die.

Aaron sniggered and left the room without responding. If he wanted to poison Leon, he could have done it a long time ago.

Leon screamed, questioned, and tried to run behind him but ended up locked back in the room. He looked at the camera in the interrogation room and started to yell as Aaron poisoned him but none went to his aid.

Roach and Milo Wen looked at each other and followed Aaron out. Milo Wen returned to Rivas Industries as he only went to the police station just to stand by if any issues arose. Roach stayed beside Aaron.

Leon sat on the chair assuming he was dying, feeling his body and eyelids heavy.

Speechless, the officers watched Leon breathless, dizzy, and pale, demanding them to take him to hospital. Aaron had given him a pain-relieving injection so that Leon couldn't get to say where he was in pain when his lawyer came. However, the pain will return in the night, robbing away sleep from Leon.

At Rivas hospitals,

Aaron entered his office room checking the message from Alex. Aarvi went to the penthouse. He internally sighed knowing she went to wash up. She was able to hold up so long was a great improvement. 

After entering two steps inside, his nose twitched the heavy perfume and felt the strong presence of somebody. He lifted his gaze to the left to see who entered his office and stayed without his permission.

A lopsided smirk was vile on Martin Parker's face, he leered at Aaron. A stunning lady next to him propped her head on her fist checking out Aaron from toe to top. She softly hissed when her gaze fell on the attractive face, pursing his lips.

Martin stood up and made his way to Aaron who was clenching his teeth, very displeased by their presence. Martin paused two steps away and taunted Aaron, "Aaron Rivas… Don't you know how to hold the reins of your woman?" 

Looking at Aaron's face turn dark, Martin took a step closer and offered in a low mocking voice, "I can help you tame your wild woman."
