Aeon's condo

Sean had met Aeon in his office but the latter had taken him to a condo since the weather wasn't good. Until both settled comfortably Sean hadn't asked his purpose behind looking for him.

Aeon probed, "So hero, what's special?"

Sean sat straight and asked seriously, "Bro, I met my beauty in black. She said she will not date me until I become independent without depending on anybody."

Aeon nodded in amusement. He had thought she was going to be like other flings of Sean and spend money, "Finally you got somebody who has a brain with beauty and bravery."

Sean smiled accepting the compliments but snapped out quickly, "Do you mean I have to work now? She doesn't want me to work in the family business."

Aeon chucked hearing him whine, "I agree with her. A right girl will want you to progress in life and profession. I think she is the perfect one for you. Hero, you got your heroine."

Sean wasn't convinced, "But..."

Aeon spoke sternly, "If not, don't disturb and ruin her life."

That shut Sean's lips. Even though he didn't want to work, he didn't want to lose Aarvi either. Deciding he would work hard to get Aarvi, he asked, "Where am I going to work?"

Aeon thought about Sean's scores and controlled laughing at his face, "So what are you planning?"

Sean started to think about where to join but he knows well he wouldn't go to interviews and all, "Brother since she doesn't want me to depend on you guys, how about I join Brother Simon's company. He will teach me, what do you think?" historical

Aeon wanted to smack his head. He knows what beauty in black meant by saying don't depend on parents or brother. Now Sean was planning to use Lane family and work there. It was still depending unlike trying within his power.

Aeon didn't want to discourage him so he nodded, "Go for it."

Sean excitedly cheered, "That's great."

But he didn't voice his thoughts. He thought after getting Aarvi, he could easily jump to the Harmon group, and fake a work position and time pass.

'I have money so I will pay others to work for me, why do I have to work? She is such a simple-minded dummy.'

Suddenly remembering another topic, he asked closing Aeon's laptop, "Bro, is it important to love or marry the girl in the same family status?"

Aeon chuckled, shaking his head, "In love, there is nothing as status. It's about you and your girl." Then he took his laptop again

Sean relaxed after listening, "I told Aar..." He remembered her saying, don't tell about her so he quickly changed thinking she might scold him for that too, "...My Beauty in black that you all will accept her but she said you and Bro will not accept. She thinks rich people have a stereotype of marrying in high-class."

Aeon cut in remembering Leon, "Sean, listen to me this time, don't mention anything related to your girl to Leon Harmon if you want her in your life. I repeat never mention her to him."

Seeing Aeon so serious and anxious telling it, Sean accepted without a word, "Okay."

He was perplexed why Aeon was worried so much about Leon knowing it. Anyway, he never really told about his flings to him so he thought he could tell about Aarvi in later days.

Aarvi wanted him to work - Checked.

Having nothing else to talk, Sean left soon without listening to Aeon who asked him to stay back.

--- Next day ---

Dax had sent a message to Tara Lane saying he was done with her stating she doesn't have morals mentioning how she could sleep with her brother-in-law. So their one day stand in a fake relationship was over as soon as he threw the temporary sim card to the bin.

Waking up to see two handsome men sipping coffee, Tia smiled awkwardly and greeted, "Brother Shawn, President Grant."

Shawn hummed and handed her a cup of ginger and lemon tea. "It's still pouring, I will drop you home after breakfast. Brother took Aarvi to the villa as the power outage is indefinite around here due to technical problems."

Since Aarvi trusted them, Tia wasn't scared and Shawn wasn't new to her as he used to visit Aarvi every now and then in her office. Seeing Dax aloof, she was conflicted about how lively he was with Aarvi and grim now.

Soon Dax left for his villa, Shawn dropped Tia and went to the main mansion of the Rivas family where his mother was worried sick.

Tara Lane saw Dax's message and dialed his number to lie she must have bluffed in height of pleasure because she still had to get information about Dax Grant or the mysterious President of Skylar International.

But she heard Dax's number doesn't exist.

She tossed her mobile on the bed when Leon called. She wasn't ready to tell that she failed in her many weeks of effort. She ignored the call without knowing what to tell because she couldn't possibly tell Leon that Dax got to know about their relationship.

Leon Harmon broke his mobile in frustration when Tara didn't receive his call. Dylan had reported they didn't get any information and might have to wait until the tropical cyclone effects lower.

Everything was so easy for him but he couldn't understand why things were getting complicated and he was reaching the dead.

He pushed Skylar matters aside after sending a project proposal to them. Now his aim was to kick that 'Beauty in Black' out of Sean's life and find the shareholder of Amiah and buy the shares from him so that he could control Amiah Entertainment and Aeon in the name of protection.

He released his frustration on Eliza who was sitting at the bar counter for half-day already.

At Rivas multispeciality hospital.

Due to overnight heavy rain, all the hospitals were filled with patients severely injured by landslides, damage to buildings, and infrastructure. Hearing the patients with the cases of fractures, rupture, perforate of the sharp objects were increasing Aaron decided to go over to the hospital.

Aaron had nagged Aarvi nonstop until she agreed she would take care of herself without going out in the cold and keep herself warm. If any problem, nurses cum maids will take care and he asked her to drop him a call.

In the back to back operation and treatment of patients, he also asked Aarvi to go to bed taking her medicines informing her that he was staying in the hospital.

Aaron had just finished another operation Secretary Wen reported the urgent matter. "President Rivas, The dam gates are opened without much prior notice and we can't reach Ms. Evans to relocate her. It's not safe near the waterfront villa. The water level is tremendously increasing. None of our men are near the villa."

That Dam always opened one gate but due to rain, water flow increased, and to save the dam, they had announced the nearby places to relocate. Since Aarvi was asleep, nobody had notified her about it. The butler and maid had left in panic forgetting Aarvi was at home.

To add to the bad luck, there were no network services to reach her.

Aaron's face turned dark as coal. "How long has it been?"

Secretary Wen gulped and subconsciously took a set back, "One and half an hour."

Aaron almost raised his hand to hit but controlled himself and ran out. If he isn't wrong, water will be filled in the villa by now.

He prayed that villa doesn't sweeps away in the current.
