The Traps of the Black Swan

Sean still couldn't believe Seungri could do it. The latter always saw mild, down to earth and worried for silly things, how could Sean believe it so easily?

Ruby Jane saw him frozen with disbelief written all over his face so she slumped on the sofa weakly, held her head with both hands, she started yammering, "I knew it, I knew... Why did I even agree to date you? You wealthy people don't value us. Why am I stupid to believe you? No... Not anymore... It's done..." Then she stood to face him.

Her face was flushed with her nose tip bright red due to her continuous sniffles but her face and eyes were brimming with the determination which Sean didn't miss out. "We are over. Don't look for me. Goodbye." She said stressing each word clearly and turned to leave wiping her cheeks.

Sean quickly blocked her. He wasn't ready to believe it and he wasn't ready to lose Ruby Jane either. "Jane, my brother never hurts an ant. He will never do this."

'Never hurts an ant?' Ruby Jane sneered in her mind, 'Yeah, he directly kills innocent people.'

"You acutely recognized it's your brother's handwriting and now you are saying this. Wow! So you don't care even if I die. Sean Harmon, I didn't expect this from you." She sniggered.

Sean made his point quickly without letting her move, "What if somebody faked?"

Ruby Jane was amazed by how he was trying to find loopholes to prove his brother as innocent, "Give me your mobile." She demanded but she took out his jacket. she instructed after unlocking with his face, "Ask your brother if he sent the flowers or not."

She dialed and chose the speaker option. The call soon went through and answered. A gentle caring and mature voice sounded, "Sean, my champ, how was your dinner with your Beauty in black?"

Ruby Jane cued him to speak glaring at him. Sean hesitatingly asked, "B- Bro, did you send the white lilies?"

Seungri said the truth like an elder brother worried about his younger brother's love life, "Yeah when you asked me to import black lilies from Africa, I didn't know black flowers represent death so I sent it. I hope your girlfriend isn't upset."

Ruby Jane hung up the call before Sean could ask about the card. Her voice sounded grave, "I have my own responsibilities unlike you. I hope we never cross the roads again." She purposefully didn't pick on the 'imported flowers' topic.

Sean was clearer-headed than before the call, "Jane, wait. I will not tell anything to my brother but please give me a chance to know a complete truth."

Ruby Jane crossed her arms and her face looked very calm but her disdainful tone didn't change, "And how are you going to know it? Sean Harmon, when I said you are a child, guess what? You are still a child. Do you want me to prove your brother wants to kill me?"

Sean's voice trembled hearing Ruby Jane, "Ho- How?"

Ruby Jane looked aside and pointed out the exit of the waiting room. He blindly followed her to the third floor and both went to the open space party hall which was empty.

Ruby Jane had to look around, then pointed to a car, "The fourth sedan in the third lane, can you recognize the man who is smoking?"

Sean saw the car first and identified it then he saw the man and his eyes widened, "That's... He is Brian, Brother Seungri's security head." he didn't lie.

Ruby Jane then pointed at the entrance of the restaurant, "What about the men next to the pole?"

This time Sean froze. He identified the sharpshooter who was with Seungri's men. He knew the sharpshooter because once he and his friends had spoken about him.
