Apollo

We 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

    Apollo This is the life. Awaking to my girl snuggled closely to my chest is a life a man of stature could only dream of. I caressed her hair, grateful to have her in his arms. "You are something too perfect for someone like me. You are my biggest paradox. Being with me will bring you trouble, yet the mere thought of losing you scares me half to death. It's been ages since I've had such feelings. However, you are just as dangerous as I am with more power." "I know I am amazing, but how long will you keep this up? I initially found it cute, but now it's starting to get a little creepy?" I laughed. "You sneaky little devil, how long have you been awake?" "A while," she exclaimed, looking into my eyes. I hovered over her. "Oh really?" She shook her head yes before wrapping her arms around my neck and legs around my waist. "You're playing a dangerous game so early in the morning Miss Livia," I warned, feeling an erection coming. "Oh really?" she rubbed herself against me. A groan

    Livia My chicas, including Winter, Faye, Juno, Scarlet, Anna, and I, were in my city penthouse dressing room, preparing for the Banquet with music blasting in the background. After that night at the club, we all became close, and as expected, new relationships bloomed amid the chaos. Aside from that, Apollo and Malakai hit it off and became close. Apollo even invited them to the Banquet. It was surprising for Malakai and the others to get along so well since they're usually reserved when meeting new people. Incoming call "Speak of the devil. He will appear." I took my phone and managed to escape without the girls noticing. "Missing me already?" I cooed, walking down the stairs. I could still faintly hear the music playing upstairs. "Of course, I miss you, but that's not why I called. Wait, what's with all the noise?" Apollo dramatically gasped, "Are you having a party and didn't even bother to invite me? I'm so disappointed in you, Kitten." "Well, I wanted to be respectful in

    Apollo My heart raced at the anticipation of holding Livia in my arms as others gawked over our powerful presence. Suddenly my mind took a turn thinking about the lustful eyes that would be on her. I giggled, imagining her mocking me. "Jealous much, King?" My love for her is like a flame that's constantly growing, almost charming. I wonder if this is the same love my father had for my mother. He used to tell me stories about him and my mother in their younger years. She was a robust and innocent woman with a pure heart, something that was nonexistent in his world. Even though she was taken from me at a young age, I was lucky enough to be loved by her unconditionally. She had a smile that could brighten a room and a laugh that could heal the world. After I lost her, a void grew in my little heart and only grew bigger after my father passed. But ever since I met Livia, that void has slowly been filled. "Does he always smile like that? It's kind of creepy." Blake whispered, not so di

    LiviaWe had been on the road for about fifteen minutes, and I could only think about Apollo. I wondered how hot he must look in his tailored suit, complimented by his diamond-jeweled lion mask. Women will be drooling over a man they could never have because he will never give them the time of day."Will this banquet be fun?" Sandra excitingly asked."Well, we've been attending these things for years, so we don't feel the excitement anymore," Juno said."There are usually private activities happening throughout the night, but you have to be invited," Faye took a sip of her champagne."What kind of private activities?" Sandra asked out of curiosity.Anna sighed. "Well, there's the talent show, where Princess flaunt their talents to impress the King. But, to me, it's no better than the auction." "I heard rumors through the grapevine that the auction is on the inhumane side. Is it true?" Zoe asked."They auction off cars, weapons, and sometimes people. Anything worth value. So yeah, it'

    Vanessa "How do I look?" Layla rolled her eyes. "Vanessa, you look good as always, and can you relax? You are making me anxious," I felt dejected. "How can I relax when I've tried everything to get the King's attention, but he won't even give me the time of day? And it's no help that my grandfather has been down my back lately." Layla was so done. "You can't keep following behind what your grandfather says. He has lived his life already, and now you must live yours." "I know what you're saying, but aside from my brother, he is the only family I have on my side after my parents turned their backs on me. You know how things went down with them." "Yeah, I know how your parents neglected you and what your grandfather did for you. But your brother wants you to get out of this life before it's too late, and I think you should listen to him." "Layla, just drop it." "You need to open your eyes and smell the coffee. The King doesn't want you, and even if he miraculously did, your hear

    Narration Apollo stood in the center, proud and surrounded by his most trusted people. He knew the impact he had made tonight was engraved in the hearts of both friends and foes. The venue was silent as the impressive group descended from the top of the stairs. They believed he was born to be King for the first time, not because it was passed on to him, but because of the people around him who would never let him fall. They are the foundation of his success. Most marveled at an entourage of twenty-five masked people walking through those golden doors. Another was from the utter shock that the Crimson Clan walked through those doors with unfamiliar women by their sides and the envy of the beautiful woman in red clinging to the arm of the Mafia King. Nevertheless, he has crowned her, presenting her as the future Queen with the utmost respect. "All hail, the King and his loyal Cortège." the host commended. The Clans brought three fingers to their lips and placed them over their heart

    Apollo "Speak," "Our cargo was under attack mid-route," Austin informed. "WHAT?" "We managed to secure the goods and capture two attackers, but they're not talking." "How did they manage to find the cargo?" "I'm not sure, but I believe we have a rat in our mist, Sir." "Rat, huh? If there is one, there are multiple." "What is your order?" "Send the attackers to Zone X. Get whatever you can out of them." "And the rats?" "Weed them out and burn them alive." I seethed before hanging up the phone. I despise disloyalty, especially under my reign. Not only is it distasteful, mannerless, and a hassle. It's not a good look for a Mafia King. It's dishonoring the Crimson Oath, a bond of brotherhood. Breaking the Crimson Oath is turning your back on your brothers. "Could this night get any worse?" "I see King has found himself a girl, but is she fit to be Queen?" That answers that question. I groaned. "Oscar Myers. I nearly forgot Vultures tend to lurk. And as for my woman, she is

What were you thinking about?" "Nothing you should worry about now. Anyways why were you calling me?" Apollo gently hauled me out of my seat, wrapping his arm around my waist. "We are shifting to the Grand Theater for the talent show." He led us to some stairs to a private theater section. "Did I mention how sexy you look tonight especially dressed in red?" he whispered. I smiled and hugged him. "Are you trying to make me fall for you more?" He held me tighter. "Depends. Is it working?" I shrugged my shoulders. "Maybe." "Aww," we looked around and saw the others watching us with a smile. The Host stood in front of the microphone, gaining everyone's attention. "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Let's start the night with an opening act from the leader of the White Vultures, Vanessa Myers." Ugh, her again. Van

    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

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. "

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."
