The Traps of Black Swan

Chapter 202 - Thank You

Ava's struggles were bringing pleasure and satisfaction on the faces of four officers who started to surround her. Her gaze fell on the police chief who was of her father's age, she was sure he would have a daughter or son of her age, she couldn't get it how could he just watch them without feeling guilty.

Would he do the same if she was his daughter? 

However her thoughts drifted to her father, Shane Kelly, she wouldn't be surprised if her biological father left her between them or he might curse her saying she asked for it.

If her own family never cared for her, why was she thinking chief of police, a complete stranger, a gate-dog of Leon Harmon to protect her. They weren't protectors but the high-level criminals who should be hanged in public places.

Ava failed to shrug the hands of lady officers and used their force to pull herself up to sit and quickly pushed them looking at the door to run. She stood up hearing the lady officers curse her. 

"Ahh…" The next second Ava felt a hand clutch her ankle pulled her forcefully causing her to fall.

'Thud.' 

Another cry sounded as soon as she hit the floor. Why was she so weak, why can't she get away from them? She held the knee that had hit the coffee table and cried in pain.

She so wished she could have gotten used to the pain from her childhood but they were painful as ever. But she didn't have the time to care about her pain especially when a hand started to graze her leg.

"So much determination to escape." The captain scoffed, looking at her trying to escape without giving up. But her tries were fueling the fire Ava had ignited by stepping in front of them. They craved to see her surrender tamed like a wet cat and let them do as they want.

Ava had no choice but to ignore her pain and quickly curled up trying to cover herself as much as possible.

Probably she should have been alone locked in her office, if she hadn't met Grace, she wouldn't have ended up in that situation. Her urge to live, have freedom left her trapped in the cage which had no way out.

Both men tried to reach her, a hand caressed her leg and she slapped it away yammering and crying, "Don't touch me…"

Another hand rubbed her arm causing her to shrug off jerking aside. All the while two evil laughter sounded seeing her struggle and cry.

Another hand slid between her thighs making her squeal and moved his hand away pressing her legs closer as her other hand pressed on her lap so that they can't sneak their hands.

Her loud squeal earned a tight slap on the other cheek which didn't have the fingerprints. A hand clamped her jaws tight warned, "Shut your bloody f**king mouth." Then he shrugged her aside and wiped his hand that had her tears on her dress to have a chance to grab her waist.

Ava didn't know how long she could keep up either. She cried, earned slaps, tried her best to keep their hands off of her.

She couldn't take it anymore for about around two minutes, she better be in the prison than getting molested so sniffled looking at the two men in front of her.

Despite she had cried, hair was untidy, dried blood was on her forehead, strong fingerprints were looking ugly on her face, two men were awestruck when  her helpless gaze met with their lustful eyes. 

Her eyes were tired and had turned red with her nose due to her crying. They noticed the scratches at the corner of her lips to guess she was tied but it gave a delicious redness to her pale skin. The eyelids had turned pink which just enhanced her allure while blinking wearily due to struggles.

Her face was petite, so small and pretty that they unknowingly had an urge to cup them and kiss her senseless until she whimpers for some air.

However, what they didn't notice were her pretty nails which were beautifully manicured for her wedding. They wouldn't get the chance to see either because her both hands fingers poked their wide-open eyes mercilessly.

But the tears for hurting their vision were still in her eyes. She wasn't used to hurting anybody. It just isn't in her dictionary other than enduring. Now the world was teaching her to be merciless for her own sake.

"Ahhhh..." Both men howled in pain, finally caring to keep their hands to themselves, thanks to her nails and her determination.

The lady officers were momentarily frozen before running towards them. 

You will be called a criminal if you kill one, you will be a criminal, if you kill many. Ava already hurt the two officers and she knew she wouldn't end in a good state but she wanted to protect herself and see if she had any way out.

She didn't want to give up, she will try, she will endure until she can. Her legs wobbled getting up and eventually balanced herself.

Time to use what she had learned, her hands automatically went in front of her in a basic boxing position while her right leg moved behind, Her side power kick to the rib reached the officer named Nancy who groaned in pain falling on the floor.

The woman who had choked Ava was shocked and realized she wasn't as weak as they thought her to be. She again quickly moved to clutch her neck as the kick couldn't be worked for a shorter distance.

However, she forgot Ava could again poke in the eyes. Ava didn't have the intention to hurt them because it's an offense to hurt the officer but when the officer again clutched her neck pushing her behind to pin her to the wall, she raised her hand and just poked the eyes which were glaring at her.

Four were groaning on the floor when Ava looked at the police chief, her faint voice still reached the ears of chief between the four who were cursing her with every word they could get, "I hope your daughter or granddaughter don't end up in my state."

The police chief who had a teenage daughter froze. Will he watch that time? Ava was successful in raising guilt in him before she limped out of the police station.

"Shhh..." Aaron shushed her without letting Aarvi continue another worst experience of her life. 

Even though he wanted know her experience which she was burying inside her, he didn't want her to overpressure herself which wouldn't be good for her heart.

Aarvi wiped her tears against his chest before continuing to listen to his heartbeats. Those memories definitely brought her tears, she cried but she wasn't affected as she used to be. 

Probably because the man next to her was trembling, holding her as close and firm as he could. He achieved what he wanted, she felt secure nestled in his arms, felt his burning anger against those, helplessness for unable to undo her past, emotional knowing what she had gone through, hurt feeling her pain, sense of protectiveness to keep her safe.

Her hand gently rubbed on his chest hearing his heartbeats erratically high, breathing heavily, "It's alright. It's all over." Her soft mellow voice sounded as she raised her head to see his handsome face slightly pale, trembling lips unsure what to say, and red eyes gazing her softly.

Aaron breathed out slowly seeing her faintly smile saying it as over. He craved to destroy each one of them but this was something she wanted to do and he wasn't ready to take away her any wish but that didn't mean that he would be quiet.

He will let her play, as cruel, merciless as possible. She will leave them suffering in the world losing everything and he will make sure to rub the salt without letting them improve their life.

The death is too simple, he wasn't kind and strong as Ava Kelly to forgive those evils who hurt her. He will make sure they become a model for what one shouldn't be.

He planted a soft kiss on her forehead and asked without leaving her from his embrace, "This is the reason why you can't tolerate physical contact with people."

Aarvi nodded faintly as her hands tightened around his waist. Aaron had thought to confirm if she wanted some more time and stay away from him but seeing her snuggle, he needed no words for it.

His low gentle voice sounded after a few seconds, "Thank you!" He paused when Aarvi looked at him in surprise. "Thank you for never giving up." Else he wouldn't have got her back.

Aarvi opened her lips to say she had given up and was desperate to die. Her wish to get her parents' love would pale against her wish of death when she was being tortured.

Even though she no longer has that wish, she isn't sure if she will ever have a wish that could be stronger and determined than that.

She didn't respond to what she thought but understood what he meant. Shawn had once told her, it was her will to recover even in comatose that brought her back to life else they would have really lost her. Just like her heart, until she accepted it's her body part, her body was showing the rejection to it.

She smiled softly and added as her hand cupped his face, "I am glad I held on else I wouldn't have got you."

Aaron again pressed his lips on her forehead but suddenly he realized something. His voice wasn't as gentle as it was a few seconds back, "Do you know why Leon Harmon wanted to kill?"

Aarvi who had closed her eyes when he kissed her flung her lids open at the realization. 'Aaron knows the real reason... and how?'
