The Traps of the Black Swan

126

At Mino's villa,

Lisa helplessly smiled looking at Ruby Jane snuggling on her seat in the car. "We reached." He thought it would wake her up.

Ruby Jane lifted her eyelids lightly and closed it shut as she mumbled, "You can take me in."

The regency they were in was highly secured, Mino had made sure Seungri or any of his accomplices doesn't have a villa around there. Jisoo had doubled the security, Seungri and his men still think Jisoo is in the Manoban mansion, none would dare to tail Lisa so she can let down her guard.

Resignedly shaking his head, Lisa alighted first and went around the car. He easily scooped her to his arms while the driver held the door for him. He indulgently remarked carrying her towards the door, "Slothful."

"I know right." Ruby Jane yawned wrapping her arms tighter around his neck, "I finally got someone to mollycoddle." She added.

Given a chance to grow up again, she will only agree if she could have him beside her from childhood. She smiled snuggling her dainty face at his neck.

Lisa was about to ask her to press the calling bell, Jisoo opened the door and teasingly smiled at his brother, "Are you guys sure you don't need privacy tonight?"

Ruby Jane mumbled without opening her eyes, "Don't step in our room."

Lisa: "..."

Jisoo leaned on the door frame and started his education grinning widely at his brother, "But brother, will you guys really enjoy knowing me, Mino, and Tia are in the room next to yours? I suggest you go back to your villa or find an amazing suite in a top tier hotel." His brows danced playfully at his brother.

Ruby Jane: "..."

She was thinking he said privacy because he saw them kissing and she was sure Mino and he already spoke with each other. Hearing hotel suite and privacy, she realized it is about making love.

She didn't find it repulsive but felt her cheeks turn hot for letting her mind wander off.

Getting off from Lisa's arms, Ruby Jane smacked Jisoo before going in search of Tia. She didn't know Tia would be coming and it had been a long time she met Tia.

Chuckling, Jisoo guided Lisa to a guest room to change his suit to a more casual look.

The villa wasn't big but suitable for a couple to occupy. Since Mino stays alone, it rather looked vast. The villa was in two stories, inspired and designed by aiming to address the quality of tenderness, through geometry, materials, and composition.

It had a modern Kitchen and Dining Area from the Living Area, giving a glimpse of the Bar Room that is next to the bay window giving an amazing view of the lawn.

The bedroom downstairs had artistically converted to a home office leaving the three Bedrooms upstairs with a second living hall creating an intimate gathering space for family members at night.

Ruby Jane met Mino who was busy with the preparation of cocktails, and Tia who was curiously learning about alcohol and cocktails from Mino.

When Jisoo had gone to pick some flowers, he had dragged Tia along to enjoy the small fun party of three which is now a party of five. The bosses of the party are still the golden trio.

Ruby Jane was about to taste the aged wine that Mino bought for her and Lisa when a gentle force pulled her ear taking the wine flute away from her hand.

Mino and Tia chuckled seeing her pout as they heard Lisa warning her, "If you are planning to drink, forget about the party."

Making a pretty innocent face, she said pitifully, "I just wanted to taste, Nothing more than a sip." Hoping he would let her take a sip.
