ARIA AKA RED After Roar had left the room, I remained seated on the chair for what seemed like an eternity. I had no motivation to get up, cover myself up or bother to scold myself for the way I easily came undone for him. But then I got to thinking, and I remembered that someone once said to me that the life of a mobster's wife is hard. I should learn from her mistakes and don't fall head over heels in love with a cruel bastard who lacks empathy. I am young, get what I need out of the marriage and leave. What I thought I wanted from Artemis in our marriage, no longer applies to what I now need from him. I need him to come and save me, then I need him to back off and give me a divorce. I tell myself that it is for my safety, but deep down, I know that it is also for his too. Most people know that souls are crafted in pairs. They come in twos, placed across the globe with a high chance of finding one another. The love they will share will be explosive, passionate and forever

ARTEMIS AKA WOLF Back in my office, the door slams behind me. Viktor is gone now, and he has left behind the USB of his findings. I'm alone and I throb all over. I feel like I'm about to combust; explode. I pick up the USB and I look at it with a sigh departing between my lips. I plug the little black device into the side of my laptop and I bring up the footage; enlarging it. Leaning in close I carefully study it, I dont want to miss anything, even the smallest of details can help pinpoint their location. My hands curl into fists when I see him. He arrived fifteen minutes after I initially left on my way to the barn. His SUV appeared to be identical to mine on the outside, but when he opened the door, his interior was white, whereas mine is a walnut colour. My whole fleet of SUVs is a limited edition. He exits the vehicle and converses with one of the guards while concealing his right hand in the pocket of his slacks and his left hand over his throat. I take note that he

ALEKSANDER AKA ROAR I will collect the debts owed to me by sinners deserving their misfortunes; my bloodline, my twin brother, and his stunning wife. But like a fickle bitch that Karma is, she isn't willing to make things easy for me. By no means am I claiming to be a saint, that would be me making a mockery of the innocent- I am a far cry from being accepted through the gates of Heaven. For once, I wish Karma would do me a solid and stop taunting me with her brutal misery, or let some ill-fated accident end Artemis's god-forsaken life. I growl... Pulling myself out of my bubble of self-pity and I pull my pants up over my waist, chuckling. I can't believe I allowed myself to fall for her bullshit. I should have known better, I should have just told her to get ready so she can join me downstairs for a meal. The thought of killing her has crossed my mind. I've toyed with the idea of strangling her, the moment she comes, clenching my dick like a fucking vice as I record the light

ARIA AKA RED I swallow the panic that coaxes the back of my throat. Fear forbids my body from moving, imprisoning me in all its glory; its stillness. I stare down at the ground, wishing it would open up and swallow us both. This can't be happening. I keep telling myself that I am stuck in a horrible dream and I will eventually wake up with each chapter of my story. But I don't, and it's finally dawning on me that my story is finally coming to an end. A white van pulls up in front of the stairs, Roar puts me down, and he waits for me to find my footing before he starts to drag me down the stairs with him. As we reach the last step, I begin to struggle; fight, battle against him. "Ugh, I don't have time for this shit, Red!" He yells with annoyance. "My name is Aria." I hiss back, trying to pull my hands out of his grasp. "You call me Aria!" He loosens his grip, and just when I think I have an opening to make a run for it, he yanks me right back against him. "You are a sucker

ARIA AKA REDThree things can not be hidden; the sun, the moon, and the truth. As Roar continues to pull me into the woods behind him, my feet feel as if they have been torn to shreds. My entire body trembles as the air that encircles us, becomes colder with each passing minute.My hands shake chaotically and I can't make them stop.My throat feels like it is bruised, and every time I swallow it feels like I am gulping back large stones. Growing tired with each step on an empty stomach and my mouth feeling like a parched river, I misplace my foot on the ground and fall to my knees. "Ah, shit!" I cry out as my left knee hits the ground harshly. Don't cry... Don't cry... Don't let him see you cry...I chant, and as I look up at the sky; out into the horizon. All is forgotten. Without me noticing the sun has started to set. The sun is more purple than red, accentuating the transition from day to night.I tilt my head back more and gaze at the sky, noticing the different hues, marbl

ARTEMIS AKA WOLF We are finally on the move; hunt, search, chase. We have a strong lead and solid evidence of Aleksanders' whereabouts. Where he is holding my Red captive. I pull out my gold-plated gun and I rest it on the seat next to me as I sit in the back of the SUV. Viktor is driving, and Marco insisted that we travel three cars behind them. His main priority was to keep me and my men safe. His were at my disposal and I praised him for his sharp thinking. Rolling my neck, I click it and sigh out loud. I'm tired; mentally, physically and emotionally. I'm a fucking mess and I can't think straight. I close my eyes and lean my head on the headrest while placing my palm on top of my gun with my finger on the trigger. The soft noise of the engine hums through the deafening stillness in the vehicle. I hate it. Silence screams trouble; death. And to prove me right... A thunderous explosion fills the atmosphere and then it is quickly followed by the horrifying sound of metal

ARIA AKA REDHands...Such merciless little tools we each own.They also happen to be our deadliest weapon.They contribute to the creation of existence, the survival, and the destruction of life.They inflict pain... pleasure...They give... take...Without them, we are only a vessel of ourselves, incapable of doing the simplest of tasks in our very ordinary lives.They allow a blind individual to see, read, and feel.We take them for granted when we need them the most. Like right now. I need my hands to be free so I can escape the psychotic Volkov twin who is on a path of devastation. The sides of my hands are grazed to shit, and I bite down on my molars suppressing the cries of agony, fear and suffering. "Come on you son of a bitch!" I hiss, sliding my hands up and down the tree trunk with everything I have. My hands tear themselves free from the shredded clothing, and I take a deep breath as I search the woods for Roar. When I do not hear him, tears begin to obscure my eyes,

ARTEMIS AKA WOLFI stare down at my gun as I storm off in the opposite direction from the rest of the group with Viktor hot on my heels. The air tastes foul and smells of death. My body aches with the desire to plummet my hands into something hard; preferably Aleksanders' face.I roll my head, clicking my neck as I try to keep my shit together and loosen the tension that is clinging to my aching muscles like a filthy parasite. I have so much pent-up anger inside me that I am about to combust; explode.Then out of nowhere, my prayers have been answered when a blood-curdling scream breaks through the air. It's enough to bring me to a complete standstill, almost to my knees.I stop in my tracks, spinning around as I try to decipher where the scream came from. "Red," I mumble."I heard it too," Viktor says softly as he too looks around the woods. "Up there," He hisses, pointing up the small bank where we can see shadows shuffling about. I dont wait.I take off running, pumping my legs
