The Traps of the Black Swan

Hugging Aeon and seeing him comfort her, Mia was glad he understood her and didn't make a huge ruckus asking hundreds of questions to bring the complete truth out or throwing her out of the condo in the middle of the night.

It wasn't that she didn't have money but it wasn't safe for her just to stay put in a hotel and become the target of many rivals in the entertainment industry or Seungri finding out her location.

She had only a few friends in the circle and some socialites. None would dare to protect her if they get an idea she is an eyesore of Seungri so she hoped Aeon could accept her and also let her be with him.

She was ready to wait for him for more years but didn't want to lose him. She didn't know if she was doing it for the Harmon family wealth or for her safe life. If he lets her be in his life, she is ready to love the man and listen to his every word.

Is it possible to force love?

Aeon, who waited for her to calm down, finally let out a deep breath and made her sit on the bed. His voice was gentle to coax her, "Never repeat such mistakes, alright?"

He didn't wait for her response and continued, "I almost blamed myself as the worst friend." Those times he used to spend time with Amiah so he had thought he neglected Mia Craft when she needed him the most as a friend.

Mia felt something amiss looking at him straighten his back and his expression turned stiff, "Anyway, no more drama of being a couple and sorry, I can't be a friend of a backstabber."

He was too straight, toppling her world upside down. 'No more being a couple and no friends.' Her eyes widened as saucers and tears rolled down again but the man didn't tend to her this time.

She realized he was soothing her because he partly blamed himself for not giving her attention and they were not going to be friends either.

"A-Aeon, you can't do this to me. Aeon..." She begged by ignoring her image crying her eyes out tugging his hand and wailed.

Nonetheless, Aeon was unfazed and continued, "Move out in the morning. You are an artist under my agency and that's it. If you want to change the agency, I will help you with it without the need for a penalty fee."

He shrugged her hands off and added "Live a dignified life. Don't make me sick of your face." and he left the room unperturbed about her loud cries.

He knows Seungri might have helped her hence she was close with him and Seungri might have sent the proofs to him as the Craft family fell from grace.

Even though Aeon felt as he is playing on Seungri's terms, he doesn't love Mia and he didn't expect her to use their friendship to use his kindness repeatedly.

In the morning, he resumed shooting as though nothing happened. Mia's eyes were swollen red which made all turn to Aeon who wasn't only nonchalant but his composition was calmer and charming. It was like they got the naive young director Aeon Harmon back.

But the calmness wasn't meant to last and the news spread out like wildfire saying Mia Craft is mentally unstable for the past three years. The modern world isn't as cruel as Mia thought it to be. Her fellow colleagues and the workers at the set asked her to take care care of herself and not to stress out.

She was surprised and also regretted her actions but it was too late. Even though the majority of the people in the world started to understand mental science and took it positively, there are numerous people who are orthodox and think in their own way.

The supports and empathy of people drowned in the ocean of curses, scorn, and mocks.

Aeon acted quick enough and Amiah Entertainment posted that the report that went viral is fake but how could it be enough even though the PR department was trying to control the damage. So he requested the M psychiatric hospital to validate the report that went viral and help him to release a statement.
