The Traps of Black Swan Novel

Chapter 27 - A Piece Of Truth


In Leon’s office

Leon warmly welcomed his younger brother without any hint of vileness, “Aeon, come on in. Dylan, get coffee for Aeon and Jay. Aeon! It’s been…”

Aeon pushed him away when he tried to get near showing his fake brotherly love.

Leon laughed awkwardly without really minding and continued, “Sit sit… I didn’t get a chance to talk to you last time. How are you doing? Is Skylar International still troubling you? Should I take care of them?…”

While Leon continued, Jayce snorted in his mind and followed Aeon to the couch hearing Leon going on and on.

He really wished he had a super-rich brother like Leon who allows his younger brother to enjoy life and works hard for them. He couldn’t understand why Aeon wants to work where he could enjoy his wealthy lifestyle doing nothing.

It wasn’t Jayce’s first time convincing Aeon to see his brother and his brother sweetly talking to convince Aeon.

Leon was a man who doesn’t keep anybody’s contact unless they are useful to him. When Aeon fell in love with a girl, Aeon was too excited and told his brother and sister in law happily but he didn’t know it was the beginning of his life against Leon.

Leon tried to convince Aeon saying she was with him for the name and fame but Aeon was headstrong about the girl. They started going out, had fun, and got along really well which irked Leon.

Leon never liked things happening in his disfavor so he just separated them mercilessly but somehow he got caught to Aeon doing some other misdeed. And then on, Aeon didn’t like to look at him and Leon tried every possible way to keep him near.

Aeon had enough of Leon, “That’s enough. I’m not here to ask for your help. I am here to ask my share papers of Harmon groups.”

Leon’s eyes widened. He clenched his fist to control his burning rage. At any cost, he wasn’t ready to disclose his secret he was hiding for a long time. He forced a smile naturally and said, “Oh, you want to sell it? Why don’t I buy it?”

Aeon smirked seeing his brother still trying to fool him, “According to the father’s will, his children can’t exchange share by any means. Mr.Harmon, don’t make it difficult for me.”

Leon stood up and went away failing to control his ugly expression on his face. He couldn’t believe Aeon even thought of selling his shares without knowing his share amount, “Then I will sell it to somebody capable. I will transfer the amount to you.”

Aeon started laughing mockingly. His elder brother never failed to play games but too bad he knows his plans. “So that you could transfer back to your name.”

Aeon wasn’t like this before. He was very innocent and believed every word Leon was saying but now he sees the underlying game of it.

Leon put on a guilty face and spoke, “Is it urgent? I just happened to keep out documents in the World bank locker. I need at least two days to get it.”

He didn’t let Aeon speak and handed him the keys from his office drawer, “You can check all of my vaults and I will send you the passcodes of the digital locker.”

Aeon wanted to check but unfortunately, he doesn’t have time for it. He checked the office vault which had office files, property papers, and cash but not the share papers.

He was thinking how to handle it, Leon spoke, writing a cheque, “How about this? I will write a cheque for you, when you sell the shares, you can transfer it to me. I will leave today to get the Shares-papers and will be back by day after tomorrow morning.”

He still put on a worried big brother expression and dialed a number on the intercom to his secretary, “Prepare my flight to country W as soon as possible.” He heard the response and hung up the call.

It was happening so quickly that everything went unregister and blurry for Aeon other than thinking he can sell the shares and get away from Leon forever.

Aarvi wanted Aeon to accept the help of Leon – Checked.

He took the cheque and stood up, “I better get them on Wednesday.”

He had just finished, the PR director, his assistant, and secretary knocked on the door and rushed in without permission. Leon’s face darkened looking at the unprofessional behavior of his employees and the fury of Aeon also lashed out on them.

“How dare you enter inside without permission? You are all fired. See yourself out.” He roared, scaring everyone in the room excluding Aeon who had seen the worse state of Leon.

The director cringed but he still reported extending a hand to pass iPad, “President Harmon, you need to see this. This is spreading like wildfire and our team is failing to stop it.” His panicked voice got Aeon and Jayce’s attention too.

Leon furrowed his brows and snatched the iPad from his hand. Right after seeing the pictures, his first reaction was to look at Aeon who was curiously watching them.

“Ahem, Aeon, why don’t you carry on? I have some work to do.” He tried his best to put on a busy person’s face to send Aeon away hoping he wouldn’t be interested in his problems.

Aeon actually didn’t care even if Harmon groups vanished the next day. He turned to Jayce to say, ‘Let’s go’ but saw his ashen face trembling hands looking at his mobile.

Suspicious, he grabbed his mobile and saw the pictures.

One

Two

Three

As photos went on, Aeon’s eyes were bloodshot and next…

‘Crack’

Aeon threw the mobile roughly on the face of Leon who wasn’t expecting it and he was late to dodge that way. A bruise instantly appeared on his side of the forehead due to the force of the throw.

Aeon pounced on his brother like a wild tiger and punched his face with all his might. His breathing had twitched and he attacked mercilessly on Leon pinning him on the floor.

Jayce trembled to the corner to be unnoticeable while the other three were frozen in shock without understanding why Aeon was acting that way just for the online viral post.

Aeon’s continuous fist attack on Leon’s face started bruising his face severely and the blood on Leon’s face and Aeon’s knuckles couldn’t be differentiated.

Aeon who looked genteel was thrusting for Leon’s blood with a murderous air filling the room suppressing the other four to even take a breath. He had transferred to a human wild beast who wanted to kill his brother then and there.

Aarvi wanted Aeon to know a piece of truth to separate brothers permanently – Checked.
