STYX NOX MORENO

I always hated getting my hands dirty but being forced into this kind of life there was never an option.

"Speak" I say by voice calm and collected in contrast to my inner turmoil. Adrik stares at me and clenches his jaw.

I light my cigarette and inhale the smoke welcoming the high it brings. I seat opposite Adrik in his office. "I'd hate to burn down this." I say referring to Taco Bells.

"Come on Nox , mad cause I have a new dealer" he asks. Having had enough I take out my gun in a swift motion and point it at him.

"Speak." I say getting irritated because repeating shit to someone like him won't do it. I always believed in second chances but I don't know anymore.

He lets out a horrified shriek and I resist the urge to laugh at how bitchy he's being. "This won't work hm?" I ask deciding I'll hit him where it hurts most.

"Yeka." I blut and his shoulders tense before he quickly recovers. "Yekatarina petrov" I speak up not missing the slight tremble of his lip when he realizes I know.

Yeka is his only daughter from my research he's kept her hidden in Russia meaning she's important to him.

"Please don't hurt her." He says his lip trembling, his hands joining shortly. I smirk knowing I got to him and extinguish my burning cigarette to his desk.

"Speak." I offer. "What do you want to know?" My lips curve in a small smile satisfied with his question. "She's only f five years old." he says, his hand trembling.

"Nothing I didn't know." Is my answer only to aggravate him. Kids or off limits and I wouldn't touch her to save myself.

"Who?" I ask and by the the shaky intake of his breath he opens his mouth but doesn't say it. "She'll be safe." I assure.

"How do I trust you?" He asks and fiddles with his bloody hands. "You don't." I offer. It's up to him to trust me because I keep my word.

"Your girl, he's going to trap you." He says and my heart clenches. How the fuck is Atlanta is playing a role in this.

"Aage." He whispers faintly. His face laced with beads of sweat. Adrik's eyes flutter closed then open slightly and I gather it's from the blood he's lost.

I clench my jaw my emotions all over the place he fucking played me.I had him under my nose this whole time.

"You don't have much time." Is the last thing Adrik offers before he passes out.

...

ATLANTA AXEL

Aage
Will you meet me at sea garage?
I have something really cool to show you.
Made a really good place for us to chill and study.

I smile softly as I round my way to the garage ignoring the soft rain hitting my skin. When I left the house Mama and Papa weren't home which was odd but I figured there out.

I ignore the disturbing feeling in my gut. Why would he wait until past ten at night? I shrug putting the feeling aside.

Styx
Tesoro where are you?
Amore?

I'm about to type back a reply when Aage
interrupts me. "It's cold isn't it?" He asks his voice distant but I dismiss it and smile softly .

"Where's the surprise ?" I beam. Aage moves closer to me mumbling something about it being done and I look at him curiously.

"Aria has to do it!" He says stepping back his voice laced with bitterness and I don't miss the way it breaks.

"Oh Aage." I say softly and move closer to bring him in for a hug. "What does she have to do?" I inquire stepping away from him so I can observe him.

My phone vibrates with an incoming call from Stige and I give Aage a sympathetic look letting him know I have to take this. I walk away from him as I place the phone to my ear.

"Tesoro are you okay?" He asks his voice agent.I hum softly an ugly pinch making its way to my stomach. Something was so wrong.

"Are you okay stige?" I ask worried. " Are you with Aage baby?" He ask his voice laced with worry and something else I can't comprehend.

"Yes." I say concerned, how did he know this. "Get out-" he starts but my phone is grabbed harshly from behind by Aage. Who I didn't notice was behind me.

I laugh nervously thinking he is pulling some prank on me "Give it back ." I say trying to reach for it when he ends the call.

"It's not funny Aage." I mumble out as I try to reach for it.

I hiss in pain when I land on my ass on the tarmac and realization hits me. Aage pushed me. "Is this funny?" He asks when my eyes meet his.

He drops my phone, stepping on it before letting out a bitter laugh . I look at him disappointed and stand to get up done with whatever sick trick he's trying to play.

Aages leg lands on my chest putting pressure to push me back down. "And where do you think your going Atlas?" He asks. Tears well in my eyes as my hands slowly start to tremble.

"Or is it Atlanta?" He asks glaring at me with hatred making sure to pronounce every syllable in my name. My real name.

I let out a chocked sob the rain and my tears mixing not doing much to help with the situation. "Daddy dearest just had to fuck up ." He mumbles but it comes out distorted.What did papa do?

I try to move but it's hard. "N- Not now." I mumble my voice croaky. I couldn't have a panic attack now. gathering my strength I manage to get on my knees. ignoring the black spots threatening to cloud my vision I start crawling away from Aage.

I let out a scream when I feel large hands engulf my ankles. I try to kick but he doesn't let go. "Aage p-please d-don't." I plead.

He chuckles and pulls me by my ankles, my face hitting the tarmac at the force he's using to drag me, letting out soft sobs as he continues dragging me.The last thing I remember is a blow being delivered to my head before everything went blank.
