Crimson Chronicles: Apollo & His Queen Chapter 41: Vanessa Myers
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

Livia "Princess?" Apollo lightly tapped my shoulder. He took my phone out of my hand, placing it in his pocket. "I've been calling your name for the last two minutes. 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

LiviaA ten-ring chime alarm was sounded. "What was that?" I asked curiously.Apollo groaned. "The Elders meeting is about to commence. They are a bunch of old guys with too many opinions." "I'm sure I will be the main topic of discussion.""Yeah, there's no denying that. "I don't want you to kill anyone because of me.""Everything will be fine if no one pisses me off.""Ap-King, I'm serious."He placed my hand on the cheek of his mask, "As you wish, my Queen." He groaned as the chime went off again. "See you in a bit." Apollo gently caressed my hand, leaving shortly afterward. Glancing around the room, my eyes met with Vanessa's glaring ones. I winked and blew a kiss irritating her more.Alaric abruptly sat next to me. "Whatever you're planning, I want in."I laughed. "What are you talking about? I'm not planning anything.""You can fool others, but you can't fool me. You are calculative, and I want in on the action," Alaric glanced at Vanessa's walking out of the venue.Damn. How

CassianEars ringing, head pounding, eyesight blurry. Cassian gasped for air, trying to get as much oxygen back into his lungs as soon as possible. People were running franticly, sirens could be heard from a distance, and the once-elegant building was now in smoke. "Where is Livia? Where is my sister?" was the only thing he could say before blacking out again. I was eating cereal at the kitchen table when Mom asked, "Cassian, where is your sister?" "It's Livia, Mommy. She is probably running around as usual." Mom shook her head. "That girl can never sit still. Livia, breakfast is ready," she yelled. We could hear little feet pattering on the floor. Seconds later, my kid sister zipped into the kitchen. "I'm Ladybug Girl!" she shrieked, slipping into the chair beside me. And the saga of acting out her favorite book, Ladybug Girl, begins. "Did you know ladybugs eat bugs?" I sighed. "Yes, everyone knows that." Dad came into the kitchen, placing soft kisses on my head. "Good morni

Apollo It's been nearly 48 hours since Livia went missing. "Po, do you have any news about Livia yet?" Apollo anxiously asked, gaining everyone's attention. "No, it's like she disappeared off the face of the earth," he answered, frustrated that he couldn't ease the pain of his best friend. "My people haven't heard anything so far. We have to find Livia. She could be hurt." Adrian said, worried. Alicia slightly chuckled. "If there's one thing I know, my girl will never go without a fight, and she never does anything without a reason or plan in mind." Alaric came into the room. "When we find her, I'm kicking her ass. I told her to let me in on it if she's planning something, but she had to do her lone wolf thing." Lone wolf thing? "What are you talking about?" Apollo asked. He sighed. "After you guys left, she had a stare-down with that Vanessa chick. But there was something else in Livia's eyes. The loo

Livia A groan left Livia's lips as she was coming to. The brightness of her surroundings gave her an instant headache. She blinked a few times, adjusting to the light but soon realized she was tied to a chair in the middle of an abandoned factory. How cliché? "Damn, my shoulders feel stiff. The last thing I remember was..." I chuckled, seeing Vanessa following me like a moth to a flame. "Are you here to tell me that I don't belong here and that I should stay away from King because he's yours?" She scoffed, locking the door, "Well, since you know, I want you to leave, no, disappear from the face of the earth, and never return. I'll pay you any amount of money. Do you accept my offer?" "No." "What?" She asked, stunned by my answer. "You heard me. I said no. Actually, I mean hell no. King is mine, and I'm not giving him up for the likes of you."

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
Crimson Chronicles: Apollo & His Queen Chapter 55: First Time
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."
Crimson Chronicles: Apollo & His Queen Chapter 54: Him
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
Crimson Chronicles: Apollo & His Queen Chapter 53: Livia Remember's
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

The In Between "I still don't understand, Alaric. How is any of this relevant?" "Use your head, Livia. Have you ever heard the saying, he who seeks revenge digs two graves? 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. "Governor Lacy, what will

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." "On purpose, may I add? And you are also not the one who has King's heart. It must suck being nothing more than a little puppet." "The ca

Apollo"I have eyes on Myers. There seems to be no suspicious activity, but I advise you to keep your guard up." Austin informed through the earpiece.Adrian had instructed all his high-ranking soldiers to surround the building just in case something was to pop off. You can never be too safe, especially with a man like Oscar Myers."Keep your eyes peeled. We are heading in. Standby." I cut the line. "Stay alert, Ace, and don't let him get to you."Ace side-eyed me. "I can say the same for you.""Mr. Myers, your guest has arrived." the receptionist announced before quietly leaving the office."So rumor has it your little girlfriend went missing. It's been two days. One can only assume the worst. Perhaps she wouldn't have gotten in such a predicament if she were a Mafia Princess."Only a few people know the severity of Livia's whereabouts. It seems Oscar has crawled his way into my territory. Okay,
