Narration

Sandra walked into the storage room to see Alicia leaning her head against one of the supply racks. "Alicia, are you okay? You were just fine not even a minute ago."

"No, Sandra, I'm not fine." Alicia looked at her with tears in her eyes. "Why would she do this to me?"

Sandra raced to Alicia's side, worried. "Why are you crying? And who are you talking about?"

"Zoe."

Now Sandra was confused. "Huh, what about Zoe?"

Alicia slowly lifted her finger, pointing at the racks of tire spray. "Why would she order so many damn brands of tire spray. I didn't even know so many options existed," she whined.

Sandra rolled her eyes being done. "Oh my god, you dunce."

Alicia fell to the ground in a tantrum. "Call me whatever you want, but my baby deserves the best, and I will sit here for however long it takes."

Sandra scanned the shelves, unbothered by Alicia's temperament. "Do whatever you want, but when Livia gets here, you won't have that luxury anymore."

    ApolloIt was cute seeing how flustered Livia got whenever her friends teased her. But then, there was a tap on my shoulder. I turned to see a nervous Adrian. "What's on your mind, kid?" "Do you think Livia would mind if I were to date one of her friends?"His question didn't faze me. When he looks at Alicia, the spark in his eyes shows his feelings for her. "Parker is sleeping with one of her best friends, so I doubt she would be against you wanting to date Alicia. Just know I don't mind you dating as long as you know the risks you are putting her in by bringing her into our world," I said honestly.Jack chuckled behind us. "Well, if you think about it, they are technically already a part of our world. They are equally as dangerous, respected, and calculative as we are. But even with that being said, our biggest concern is how a certain someone will react when he finds out the Mafia King is officially off the market."I nodded my head in understanding. "I guess that's something we m

    LiviaAlicia felt uneasy. "Do you think leaving them alone was a good idea?""I don't know, but I wasn't expecting them to act so aggressively. Especially Percy."Nina hopped on the hood of my car. "I don't see why not.""Get off, my baby." I shooed.She rolled her eyes, leaping off my car. "Do you remember how Malakai and the others scared off my first boyfriend? And we all know you have a special place in Percy's heart. Sometimes I wonder if he has feelings for you.""First off, Triston was a player.""And what does that make me?"Zoe sucked her teeth. "Don't you dare compare yourself to that scum, Nina. Being sexually in tune and blatantly coercing girls into sex are two different things. You don't play with people's feelings. You don't put on a show to get what you want. Instead, you tell whoever your interest in exactly what you want, and you give them a chance to choose to comply or find someone else to give them what they are looking for. That's the difference between an assert

    Narration Malakai led them to the top floor. The lights were dimmed with a warm hue. The gold and white interior mirrored walls, and the massive crystal chandeliers suspended from the center gave off a fresh, sophisticated vibe. "This is our private lounge. Feel free to get comfortable here." "Don't mind if we do." Poet quickly sat on one of the sofas, gently bouncing, "This is so comfy, and I love the vibe." Luca felt proud of himself. "I am not the one to toot my own horn, but, toot toot, I designed it myself." Heath frowned. "Luca, please. You did nothing but give useless input about wanting it as if you were sitting on a fluffy cloud high in the luxurious sky." "It was fitting at the time," Luca reasoned. "It was stupid. Try sitting on an actual cloud, then come back to me." Heath snickered. "That's if you're alive." "You are so mean." Luca moped. "It's my day job, bro." Heath loved teasing Luca, but he was someone he doted on the most. "Anyway, how about we get some dr

    WinterWinter paced back and forth, trying to control the anger building from within. Anger is a tricky emotion that must be repressed thoughtfully. A fire seed of anger can still inflame its surroundings. It starts small and undetected, but if not extinguished at the source, it grows into a flame that destroys everything in its path. I couldn't stop thinking about what had just happened. "What the hell were you thinking, Faye? Your stupidity and carelessness could have gotten us killed."Faye rolled her eyes. "What are you talking about?" "You were picking fights on territory that doesn't belong to you and flaunting your money as if it buys respect." my anger was simmering at Faye's carelessness."Money rules the world," she said ignorantly, "and I wasn't picking a fight." "Oh really?"∞∞∞Flashback Heading to the racer's booth to check in, there was gossip about someone called Goddess of Hell's Peak."Did you see the final roaster?" "No, why?" "The Goddess herself is racing ton

    LiviaWe got into our respective positions based on our dashcam numbers. I was in the center with dashcam 05. To my right were Alicia 04, Zoe 09, Nina 011, and Sandra 010 behind me. "You ready, babes?" Alicia yelled over the roaring engines."Hell yeah, I am," I yelled back. The awaited thrill of my car drifting around every twist and turn coursed through my blood. From my peripheral, I can see other racers getting into position. A smirk etched onto my lips as Faye pulled up to my left. "I can't wait to see your face after I cross the finish line first." I taunted."Oh, don't get your hopes too high. Otherwise, your ego will come crashing down to earth," she said smugly. My ego? I simply smiled at her and then focused on what was before me. One second is all it takes. A single second, a moment of hesitation could determine if you are ahead of the pack or the tail."RACERS ARE YOU READY?!" the flag girl shouted.I revved my engine four times, one for each member, and the girls did t

    Narration"RACERS, ARE YOU READY!"Percy jumped excitedly, "Finally, the race is about to begin!"They all sat in front of the flat screen to watch a much-anticipated race. Adrian sat on the edge of his seat with expectation. "This going to be so good."Apollo felt differently. The cameras panned from the racers to Hell's Peak. The street wrapped around the mountain leading to the top only to be sling-shotted down a winey slope on the other side. "This is the preliminary race?" Apollo asked with terror and worry in his voice."SET!"Malakai saw how worried the members of the Crimson Clan were for his sisters. "Don't worry. Livia, Alicia, Nina, Sandra, and Zoe have raced this mountain so many times it's second nature to them now. Trust me." he smiled reassuringly."GO!" Apollo watched with amazement at Livia's skill. She was the first over the starting line leading the pack. The way she drifted around the first sharp curve was beautiful. "What the hell?" Apollo yelled, witnessing on

I'm not against it, but I want to ensure you are positive about this decision." Councilman Yang asked. "Sir, if I may, you seem like a reasonable guy. I will take the punishment. Just let the other girls go. They are my responsibility, so it's my fault I let things get this bad right under my nose. I am sorry on their behalf." "You can't keep bailing them out whenever they do something reckless, Winter. How will they learn if you're always saving their ass? I swear they will be the death of you someday." Juno argued.Anna suddenly shoved Juno and yelled, "Shut up, Juno, what do you know? They can't touch us anyway!" Faye turned to face Councilman Yang. "Look, mister, you have no idea who we are. If a single hair is misplaced on our heads, our families will hunt you down and kill you and the rest of these people.""See what I mean, Winter? These entitle

    ApolloWe posted masked up in a corner behind everyone, listening and observing. Truth be told, I would have killed those girls already if it were up to me."How dare they?" I looked over at a furious Chris, whose eyes never left Zoe.I walked over to him and placed my hand on his shoulder. "Calm down, Chris.""How can I calm down when my girl was recklessly put in danger?" His voice trailed off, and his eyes widened, realizing he had spilled his feelings. "I-I mean."I smirked at him behind my mask. "It's fine. I figured as much anyway." He was surprised. "You're not angry or going to lecture me about Zoe possibly being a distraction or something?" I gave his shoulder a light squeeze of reassurance. "Come on, don't give me that look. Like I told Adrian, I don't mind any of you dating. Just be aware of the risks that come with the territory. Besides, getting angry about you finding your other half when I found mine wouldn't be fair. Of course, we will set some boundaries, but that c

    LiviaI laughed as Apollo kept kissing all over my body. "We've been in bed all day. At some point, we must get up.""That's not true. We've been in the shower, closet, and on the dresser." Apollo chuckled. "Then, in the shower again. I would have taken you to the balcony if it weren't for the guards. We've been pretty productive if you ask me."I fell back in a fit of laughter. "You are ridiculous, and my girl is swollen because of you.""You loved every minute of it. Devour me... Deeper... Fuck, Apollo, you feel so good... Right there, right there, right there, right there." he mocked.I covered his mouth. "Okay, I get it. You fucked me into oblivion."Suddenly his aura changed. There was something darker, tantalizing, seductive, yet possessive in his eyes. "No, I didn't. I didn't want pain to be associated with our first-time together. Although there were a few times I nearly lost control." He said matter of f

    LiviaThe morning breeze roused me out of my slumber as its coolness grazed my exposed skin. I nestled into the warmth of Apollo's arms as I watched the curtains dance to the rhythm of nature. His masculine aroma mixed deliciously with the garden's floral fragrance a few feet from our balcony.I rubbed the remainder of my sleep from my eyes and gazed at the ethereal man sleeping soundly beside me. I find it strange, hard even, to find something so meaningful in someone so special. He is like the Sun, every day, it rises and sets, but it is always there. Reliable since the beginning of time.I straddled his stomach. "Wake up, Apollo. It's time to start the day. We have a long day ahead of us, so I need my Mafia King up and ready to start the day with his Queen.""What your Mafia King needs right now is cuddling from his lovely Queen," he buried his face into my breast.I laughed. "That tickles, Daddy."

    Livia "The next move?" I pondered. Devising plans is my guilty pleasure, but executing them successfully is dearer. "The White Vultures is all about gaining ultimate power, right? Frankly, I don't think that is entirely their motive. That attack the other night was thought-out yet sporadic. I believe Vanessa has no desire to pursue Apollo or become the Mafia Queen. I am at a loss for what they truly want. Which bothers me." Understanding the enemies' motives is the legend of maneuvering them the way we want. Then I thought about something that could be valuable. "Who was the former leader of White Vultures?" "Vanessa's grandfather, Oscar Myers." "Myers? Oscar Myers? Do you have a picture of him?" "I might. Give me a second." Poet vigorously scanned through files on his laptop. "Oscar is a very privy man, unlike Vanessa, who boldly states she's a Mafia P

    LiviaGunshots rang in the air. Dead bodies and blood were everywhere. A little girl sat in a corner, rocking back and forth with hands over her ears. The people with no faces are there again, protecting the little girl. "Run" was the last thing she heard before everything went black. This dream again. "Is it a nightmare? Is it a memory? Who was that girl?" I finally have the answers to those questions. It's not just a dream. This is a memory of my nightmares. The memories I longed for came to me like a flood."Livia! LIVIA! Are you okay?" When I opened my eyes, Cassian was standing over me. "Oh my god Livia you scared the shit out of us."Tears flowed from my eyes, remembering how my once happy, loving life was replaced with hatred and pain. "Sunny?" I fell into his embrace, overwhelmed, shaking, remembering everything. I was finally ready to face reality. That explains why my heart always felt content when I was around Cassian. Her body finally revealed the truth about that inciden

Do you know why that is?" "A grave for your enemy and another for yourself because you're dooming yourself with whoever you seek revenge against. "Exactly, my girl. Revenge is close acquaintance with misery, and we know how much that bitch loves company." There was still something that bothered Livia. "After declaring war on Vanessa, what happened to us, Alaric?" "That's something you will have to remember yourself." ∞∞∞ [Earlier that morning…] Governor Lacy and the board of directors were overwhelmed by the gallery of people gathered in front of the courthouse.

    Parker Miles of trees covered the land. The reflective greens of the landscape glowed as the sunlight danced between the trees. Standing at the entrance of the highlands, a feeling of peace as the wind sings a lullaby of serenity. "I've lived here practically my whole life and never knew about this," I was about to leave the cave when Asa stopped me. He pointed to a trip wire right in front of my feet and the censored alarms ten feet away. "Damn, that would have been bad. Thanks for having my back." I spoke gratefully. "No biggie, we are all here for the same goal. Percy, go ahead of us and disarm the alarms. Alaric set up some C-4 explosives throughout the cave. Jonah, you should stay with him for backup and ensure the others arrive without hassle. Everyone else, come with me and stay alert." Asa commanded. Watching him, I was glad Asa was on his side. Percy finished disarming the alarms in the entranceway of the cave. "Everything is clear." We began to walk forward cautiously. "

    Narration Vanessa was in turmoil, nothing ever came easy for her, and now she had to deal with this. "What's wrong? Did things not go according to plan?" Livia taunted. "Shut up. Layla, take my phone. I want to send a message to King." "Gosh, you reek of desperation." Vanessa punched Livia's jaw. Blood instantly pooled in her mouth. "I said shut up." "Things are finally getting exciting." Livia laughed, licking the blood from her lip. Layla looked at her, concerned. "I don't think that's-" Vanessa cut her off. "I didn't ask you to think. Take the dame video!" she yelled. Layla rolled her eyes. "Whatever?" Vanessa then reverted her attention to Livia. "You think I'm the pathetic one? I'm not the one tied to a chair."
