Aarvi thought Aaron was nearing her to take the iPod until his hand wrapped around her waist pulling her on the bed.

"Aaron." She shouted when she felt herself in the air until she ended up on the bed between two brothers but in Aaron's embrace with his arm around her waist. After seeing her sitting, Aaron pulled the duvet up.

She patted her chest and noticed Shawn dropped jaws before slapping Aaron's arm around her waist and freely sat between them with a red face.

"Bro, does my Little heart feel so light? Crap, I felt like a little girl flying in the air." Shawn said and burst into laughter by pointing at her flushed face.

"Shhh!" Aarvi shushed them patting her iPod, "Attention Attention... This is really important."

Shawn chuckled and stopped teasing her while Aaron made sure to cover her legs to keep her warm.

Aarvi kept the tab on the bed displaying a picture, "Merton companies turned down working with Harmon's recent project hence Leon Harmon is angry with them." She made sure to clear Harmons weren't in the picture.

She kept changing the screen as she explained about the Mertons and their situation.

Merton Companies were a well-experienced business company from a few decades standing firmly in the industries. But their years' old rules of strategies and cultivation lacked creativity and competitive spirit.

The new president of the company took over the position about six years back but faced a black slash making him hard to sustain. This helped Leon to form an alliance with him for the project investments.historical

When Aaron took over the Rivas Industries, he acquired wherever his eyes fell without having any idea he had won five projects which used to be Merton's.

The disturbance Aaron caused in the Business industry without following the unsaid rule of project distribution raised the hatred against Rivas Industries.

While the top, big companies were competing, the underdog silently controlled the base of all the top companies so Skylar Industries became untouchable to any companies afraid their own company would be affected.

So Rivas Industries obviously attracts attention and competition in all the fields. During this cycle, two important projects came up. Chemical manufacturing company and High tech Global village.

Harmons took Chemical manufacturing and Merton wanted the High tech Global village construction to jointly suppress Rivas Industries. But the unexpected opportunity rose to climb the ladder higher, Golden oil and gas company announced to sell their company.

Harmon Industries aren't interested in Global village, and they aren't ready to take double the risk of Chemical manufacturing with Oil and Gas companies. The Harmon has the information that Skylar is investing with Rivas Industries for Chemical manufacturing causing them to ask help from Mertons.

Then came the crack between two business companies. However, Harmon taunted Merton as Aaron Rivas will paddle them to the ground leaving them no choice so Aaron became the target of Merton's dirty game.

...

Aarvi rubbed her palms and looked at two after explaining the complete research data. "So.."

Shawn cut in and hazily spoke looking at Aarvi, "Bro, I want to poach Little Heart with her team." He wrapped his arm around Aarvi's neck, "Little Heart, you are a genius. Good that we two are business partners." He grinned happily.

He had instructed his team to check the current state but his friend dug up everything to control the whole situation to deploy a foolproof plan.

Aaron rested his head on his fist thinking of her whole plan. Even though she didn't tell her plan, he could already guess the results of three principal projects of the trimester.

Shawn left her after pulling her cheek, "So your plan is to work on the project of Global village causing Merton's to panic by the sudden intervention of Skylar and they will run between two projects. Are we playing sneaky here?"

Aarvi patted Shawn's head proudly for discerning her plan but she smacked him hearing a sneaky attack on Merton's for the projects. "When it's business, show your talent and earn with respect. Be evil if they are sneaky. What will be the difference between us and Leon Harmon or Merton if we play dirty for the project?"

Shawn retorted feeling wronged, "But they are already sneaky by attacking Brother's image to take the project."

Aarvi sighed without understanding why men's heads always think of similar attacks. It was like, 'He slapped me, I will slap him back'

"Little prince, never spend extra resources for revenge. If you go and attack him, he might be prepared or he might pull another stupid trick. Now he won't have time to think of games desperate to save both projects."

Shawn and Dax think alike, 'they attacked us, destroying their image.' But Aarvi was different, 'Did they attack us? Make them suffer and regret before slowly torturing them to the destruction taking their resources to build her own empire.'

Her plan was always the same, 'Hunt, revamp, excel.' Once they fall down, she captures the resources, revise for her company's needs, and grows stronger. She never had a plan to create the resource from scratch.

Shawn and Aarvi slowly turned to Aaron who had started working on his laptop silently. The duo looked at each other and Aarvi poked his arm.

Aaron flashed her gentle smile before speaking, returning his gaze back to the laptop screen, "I have sent you an email with the consolidated information of Global village construction. Rivas construction slot is free from next month mid so send the draft for collaboration request soon. Your company funds are used on the Craft family so what is your plan? The loan from the bank?"

Aaron sent another email before slapping the laptop screen down to close.

Shawn and Aarvi gave him two thumbs up and the former commented, "Bro if you and Little Heart collaborate and plan, you two will never lose."

Aaron doesn't agree to it, he thinks he wasn't still a full-fledged businessman because the foresight Aarvi had in business was something he couldn't acquire. And his main career goal is being a doctor.

Aarvi saw his gaze and chuckled, "My and Dax's International stocks can fill up to the maximum extent and if I get Rivas Construction collaboration we can plan the completion in fifteen months so we are eligible for zero percent interest of Bank loan for a period of three years."

Then she grinned, "If I trick my boyfriend, I can save a lot of money."

Shawn was chuckling when Aaron stated, "Don't consult the bank. Leon Harmon is trying to lock your move to meet you. I will arrange to transfer the fund through the subsidiary."

Aarvi chuckled and moved next to him as she opened a mail on the iPod to show the bank approval for the loan. "I have the approval, funds will be transferred as soon as I submit the contract papers." If Leon Harmon tried to stop her at the last stage, then she would make sure the bank would give her the funds for free.

Shawn burst into laughter watching Aarvi grinning and Aaron who was speechless looking at the bank's unconditional approval to any of the projects which Skylar works on.

The slow and steady company growth undoubtedly attracts the banks to ask them to take loans at the lowest interest and Aarvi made use of it at a crucial time.

Aaron was proud of his Cupcake. He had thought he could help her when she was doing it all to stand for him so that he doesn't overload himself.

Aarvi who had left towards the door bidding them, turned around looking at the brothers laying down to sleep. She could do many things in business but when it comes to family, the emptiness could never be filled however smart she is.

The next day,

Billy Craft got a call from Zachary Barnes's assistant asking him to reach a place to complete the power of attorney procedures.

He entered a luxurious villa in awe. It was a contemporary villa with a pinnacle of effortless sophisticated interior designs. His eyes were unblinkingly watching the understated neutral color palette paired with bold gold-hued accents for more drama.

He had seen his quiet share of luxuriousness in his life by staying with Leon Harmon but the modern theme of the villa he stepped brought him to a whole new world of artistic creation. The spacious layout and opulent furniture were a reinvent of luxury in a classy form.

It was definitely a villa fit for a modern king where he felt himself a servant making him feel inferior.

As notified to him, he sat on the couch looking around awestruck thinking Zachary wasn't a simple man. 'Or is this villa belong to Dax? Or the President of Skylar?"

He oddly felt the villa belonged to the President of Skylar looking at that high class and urbane decor of the villa.

He was lost in the wonderland when he felt a gaze on him from upstairs. He jerked his gaze up but saw no one. He eerily trembled unable to shrug off his feelings about the gaze

He gulped his saliva having an urge to run out but, 'Thud.' Billy Craft jolted on his feet and saw the main door shut. His breath twitched looking around but saw none. He wanted to shout but no word came out of his lips.

He felt the presence of a person upstairs and moved his gaze. He saw a woman's hand on the rail unhurriedly moving on it.

He tried to look away but failed. A slender leg of the girl stepped ahead as the black long trail of the dress swept on the floor gracefully matching the tranquillity of the villa.

Billy stepped back sensing the danger for every step of the woman who didn't bother to glance down at him. Just then her side profile came to his view bulging his eyes in the socket, "Av-Av- Ava Kelly.." He stammered trembling profusely.

Her target: The end of Billy Craft.
