Freya could feel the pain as her body landed on the floor, that bullet had been shot when she was unaware. She had been cocky and somehow arrogant thinking he couldn't shoot her but she was so wrong.
As his words settled in her head, she looked at Aurelius who just shrugged leisurely at her. She could feel the blood slowly slipping out of the wound, maybe it was because she was too tired to move but she felt her eyes slowly closing.
"P-please, let me go" she said to Aurelius before she finally passed out. Aurelius just stared at her blankly.
He felt nothing as he stared at her, not minding the wound on his arm. He picked her up from the floor as Robert ran towards them.
"Let me take her from you boss, you're injured" Robert said noticing the wound on Aurelius's arm.
"I can handle it, touch even a single hair on her head and I'll blow your brains out" Aurelius said, his voice dark and calm. He truly meant what he said. "Get the doctor to come attend to us, ASAP"
Aurelius said as he made his way back to the ward where Freya had once been. He felt some sort of pity for her but when he felt it, he shook his head as he laughed at himself in shame.
"Why would I pity her? She went against my orders first"

The Red haired man drove into his large condo, pressing a button in the car as the gate slid back down as it closed.
"Shit that was a close call" he said as he ran his fingers through his hair, he was shocked Aurelius didn't come after him and he left unscathed.
As he stepped out of the red Lamborghini, he breathed in the fresh air that carried the scent of white roses.
"Colton!" A small voice called out to him as a girl who looked like a teenager ran outside. Colton smiled at his little apprentice, she jumped into his arms wrapping herself around him.
"I thought I told you no jumping into my arms" Colton said with a cheeky smile, showing his deep dimples. Melissa frowned as he placed her down, she had been so excited when she heard his car roll into the compound.
"I'm sorry colt, I thought you wouldn't be back today but when I saw you, I couldn't resist" Melissa said as she grabbed his gun from his hands running into the house.
"Be careful with that Lissa!" He yelled at her as he walked into the house.
Colton Ortega, a young man of 25 years old, 6'0 foot tall, he had shoulder length red hair and deep brown eyes. He had a sense of humor and one couldn't easily know he was an assassin.
He came to this city since he heard Aurelius would be here and he decided to carry out his mansion, since a bounty had been placed on Aurelius. He licked his lips as he walked into the house.
The smell of fresh steak been cooked made him smile slightly. "Good job you're doing in there, Sophia" he yelled as his partner Sophia stepped outside as she waved at him.
Everything seemed so cheeky, sweet and calm. But it wasn't, Sophia was his partner for a reason, she was there to help him lure men in, with her gorgeous Latina body and cute laughter.
She was like slow poison and he loved it. As Colton walked upstairs, he headed straight to his study, he needed to inform his clients that he managed to deliver a shot.
As he walked into the study, everything was in order, the book shelves and everything were in place. Not even a single spec of dust in sight. He sat in the swivel chair as he turned on his laptop, starting a video call with his clients.
"I hope you have good news Colt?" The man on the screen asked, his back was facing Colt as Colt chuckled slowly. His clients always liked to remain anonymous, it was either their masked, not facing him or talking from another place.
"A bit. He managed to get shot in the arm and I was able to escape without harm. But that doesn't mean I wouldn't get him kill though" Colton said with a proud smile on his face.
"As much as I want to praise you for that Colt. We had a deal and I need the corpse of that damned man, the next time, don't shoot him but get him killed. Got it? And can I see proof that you actually shot him?" The client asked as Colton took out his phone, searching for the video.
"I'd send it to you normally" Colton said as the client hummed in response before hanging up.

"What do you mean you couldn't find him? Come on Quinn, I thought we talked about this?" Aurelius said as he stood in front of the window, enjoying some fresh air.
"Don't get angry at me boss" Quinn said with a cockish tone, he didn't really care what Aurelius said, they were in this together and Quinn takes orders from no one.
"Try to tracking him down, I have a lot of bullshit going on and I'm flying back to town by morning. Meet you there?" Aurelius said as he heard a slight hum before Quinn hung up.
Aurelius groaned as he looked at his arm wrapped in gauze, he actually felt nice, somehow calm.
Was it because he shot her? He had no idea, he didn't want to feel anything for Freya. Whether love, hate or satisfaction. He ran his fingers through his hair as he sighed tiredly, he needed to return home so he could make sure she was safe and didn't try to escape anymore.
He felt movements behind him, as he turned, he felt something slam into his head.
"Die mother fucker" Freya yelled as she broke a wooden chair on Aurelius's head. He groaned but that was all.
"You sly bitch" he said as he raised his hand slapping her hard across the cheek.
