The Traps of the Black Swan (Book 2)

The next day, the couple flew to country S with Roach. For everyone who knew Ruby Jane assumed her battle was over, excluding two. Zain and Lisa knew there was one and she was stalling time to reach that person. They had questions but chose to leave behind and see when she would take action.

As soon as the couple landed in country S, they purely had plans to go to the villa, Ruby Jane bought for them. The locality was silent and close to Lisa's medical center. However, they were taken away by a team of black suit men.

After an hour, they reached the Evans estate. The estate was huge due to security purposes. As they entered inside, Ruby Jane's lips twitched, realizing that Evans had created their city inside. They had a spa, arcade, different sports zones, helipads, air traffic control room, huge car garage, a ballroom to host private parties, buggy vehicles, a private 5D theatre, beautiful gardens. Ruby Jane lost count of what she saw. Everything was built at ground level as if it was just any other regency in the country.

After looking at those, she expected they would live in ostentatious mansions but it was minimalist, modern, and peaceful. Nevertheless, it was expensive and spread out widely in two stories.

Ruby Jane noticed, six members standing by the door to welcome them. Jaxon was with a young lady, his fiancée. Allie was back home and Martin was loitering behind her. Her eyes fell on the other couple. She identified an elder man, Felix Evans, the business tycoon.

Her jaws almost dropped looking at the lady, "Lillian Joulie!?" She was an infamous celebrity people remember even after so many years of her absence from industries. Many people think she isn't alive anymore.

Lisa hummed, confirming her doubt. She suddenly turned to Lisa and her surprise morphed to curiosity, "Lili, I never asked, how do you know them? Why do they give such importance to you?"

Lisa briefed simply, "It was a coincidence."

Ruby Jane: "..."

Coincidence could bring people so close? Ruby Jane was amused. They met the family, and everyone welcomed them warmly. Though Ruby Jane couldn't get close so easily, she didn't give them the cold shoulder. And they weren't pretentious, they were just like any other normal family.

After the usual meet and greet, they sat in the living room when Felix caught Ruby Jane and Lisa speaking in action, "What are you guys signaling at each other?" He teased them.

Ruby Jane was silently crying because Shea had said too much about Lisa's 'Cupcake.' She wanted to hole to hide. Before Lisa said anything, she changed the topic, "I was asking how you all got to know Lili... Lisa."

Lillian chuckled hearing her correct herself and bit her tongue, "Ruby Jane, we already know you were calling him Lili... It's cute."

Ruby Jane: "..."

She really needs to find Chaeyoung and torture her. No, she should kick Nikun for selling them to Chaeyoung.

Felix chuckled at the question, "We met your husband when he was still a student."

Allie continued, "Yes, I was paragliding and the wind got intense out of blue. I couldn't control it and fell into the forest."

Lisa continued when Allie looked at him, "There was a village on the mountains where I was on medical camp. I was on a break when I saw her fall. Seeing her fall, Martin panicked and started to glide down."

Martin cleared his throat in embarrassment.

Jaxon chuckled, "He was a little fool. As soon as he glided, he was caught in the wind too."

"It's not about me." Martin snorted and looked away causing everyone to laugh.

Lisa continued his part, "Since I saw it, I spoke to the villagers and got to know it was forest, there will be none to help. However, the senior doctor couldn't descend the mountain and my classmates weren't ready to enter the forest."
