The Traps of Black Swan

Chapter 245 - Sweet Nothing

Aaron let her know the reason behind why he hadn't ruined Hays family thinking she might have liked Vance Hays hence she was getting married. Aarvi felt she should also let him know what went on her mind when she was with Vance Hays.

"I-I actually tried to like Vance Hays. He treated me well in the beginning, he was asking my preference before deciding to choose a restaurant or a wedding venue or a wedding card design. I felt there is value to me and my opinion in both the families. A few days I almost thought I could have a normal life and family seeing him, his parents, my parents treating me well. "

Aaron kept his laptop aside and heard her patiently. He knows she was telling him because he had thought she might like Vance. Three years back, he didn't know well about her parents so he had assumed such away. He needed no justification from her, nevertheless, he let her speak to be ears for her words.

Aarvi smiled seeing his fingers play with her hair lock instead of feeling jealous of Vance or getting angry. She continued, "It wasn't even a week, President Hays invited me to visit him at his company, he put on a show of weakness and asked me to help him."

Then she stressed the words 'extremely dumb.' calling herself a big fool, "I was extremely dumb to understand he had a reason to choose me as his granddaughter-in-law or he was acting weak to use me for his company development."

Aaron cupped her face with his thumb caressing her soft cheek, "Innocence isn't dumbness." He softly said.

Aarvi retorted, "But I was dumb. I was a big stupid girl." She sighed while he faintly smiled in helplessness. "Then I started to work at Skylar, help at Hays International, and go with Vance Hays for wedding shopping. Those days were like nightmares. Dax was at least meeting me in Skylar but Shawn always whinged me as Vance was purposefully doing it to avoid them. I thought Shawn was just possessive." She slapped her head for thinking like that.

"Then Vance slowly started to change, he was talking sweetly but judged my choices. I ignored it initially as I was overthinking.

I chose to talk about it with Grace as she is a girl assuming she will understand me better than a man. She always said I am in the wrong.

Then I started to feel inferior due to both of their opinions. I probably should have walked away but my bad habit of endurance started.

I should have spoken about it with Dax or Shawn but I was busy handling everything and making them have a good opinion on Vance.

Then the engagement party was thrown by Vance with very few guests. Seeing me, close with Shawn, Vance's insecurity that had built over time hit high and some of his friends provoked him.

He drank too much and took his friends' dare before reaching me. I was at the bar counter, Dax was next to me and Shawn was making me a drink on the other side.

I am unsure if he was sober or not, he dragged me aside roughly and forced a kiss. In reflex, I pushed him away from me and struck him across the face venting all the frustration of him.

If I hadn't stopped Shawn and Dax that day, they would have beaten him to a pulp but I took them and left the club. Vance's friends must have badly laughed at him and that's when Grace took her chance.

I had decided to break the engagement but as soon as I stepped in the house, my so-called father slapped my both cheeks and the drama queen was crying on the floor saying she didn't teach me well.

They started linking me with Dax and Shawn so I told them they are like brothers and it has nothing to do with them.

The next day, the whole Hays family and Grace started teaching me that a man dominates and a woman should be quiet. The over smart President Hays admitted to the hospital.

Me, the stupid, got fooled again with fake reports. Then I had to accept when Vance apologized saying he was drunk. I don't even know if he was sincere.

Anyway, engagement break or wedding ditch, Leon Harmon had his dirty eyes on me and was waiting to take his chance."

Aarvi's fingers held his vest, pulled him closer to whisper, "That's how my first kiss was ruined."

He was angry due to Vance's behavior but chose her mood. He gave a thought for a few seconds watching her pout in disappointment. He asked, "Will you believe me if I say your first was mine?" And it was true.

Since he had told his little Cupcake as one cupcake costs its price with a kiss to the chef, she always kissed his cheek. Once he had coincidentally turned to her and she had accidentally kissed him on the lips before she started crying in front of all.

Aarvi had dreamed of that past but she believes it as a dream. She started thinking about how could her first kiss be Aaron and she didn't get it, "How?"

Aaron chuckled, shaking his head, "Let's consider I stole your first kiss in the school without your idea."

Instead of getting angry for stolen kiss from young Ava Kelly, Aarvi was excited, "Really?"

Aaron: "..."

Is the first kiss so important? Then he was glad his little Cupcake had kissed him even though it was accidental.

He brushed her hair away from her face as he cupped her face and captured her lips in a light and quick kiss before seeing her eyes wide blinking repeatedly due to the driver and Milo Wen's presence in the car.

Aaron controlled laughing at her cute expression and tried to make her ease, "Don't worry, I will make you forget all his memories."

Aarvi retorted, "There is nothing to remember. I have nothing to do with them after leaving their company today. So focus on creating memories with me."

Aaron chuckled and copied her style of acceptance. He wobbled his head side to side and added, "Alright, President Evans."

Both continued to talk nothing but sweet nothing torturing the two men who were in the front seats while they were on the way to the Rivas hospitals.

After sending Aaron to check on the patients and to handle his work, Aarvi quickly handles some of his office work to help him unload some of his work.

She left Leon to handle Chief Powell, in the meantime Mayor wasn't in a good place and all were forcing him to get down including the party members. Five officers went behind the bars and the women empowerment organization helped a few ladies to file complaints by hiding their face and real name from the public.

The uproar over the internet was hot and many small organizations went on a strike getting down on the roads so Aarvi didn't release Chief Powell beating Ellis Hudson for his daughter. She didn't want to drag down the innocent teenager.

After handling some more work for Aaron, she went out in search of him as she strolled in the hospital corridors. She saw Aaron standing with Jordan and Karsen so she was silently escaping but heard Karsen's voice.

"Aarvi…"

Aarvi bit her tongue and hoped Jordan doesn't judge people by clothes. She was in off-shoulder top and denim shorts.

She awkwardly smiled after turning around. She had just walked a few steps towards them, a man appeared out of nowhere and wrapped her tight in his embrace, "Baby... Thank god I found you...."
