I 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

Livia I could hear murmuring in the distance. Everything is so dark. Where am I? How did I get here? "We're losing them." "Losing who?" "Clear." I fell to my knees in pain while a bright blinding light engulfed my body. Next thing I knew, I was standing on a beach. The sand is the gentlest hue of gold with just the right comforting warmth. But it was something about the ocean that always drew me. It correlates so much with mortal life. One minute it's serene; the slightest disturbance sways my body putting me on the alert, but eventually, I relax. Then sometimes, it is like a typhoon. Its currents first pull me away from the safety of the shore, then wave after wave knocks me under, suffocating me, but somehow I make it to the surface. The cycle continues until the storm subsides. "Beautiful, isn't it?" the sudden voice made me jump out of my skin. But to my surprise, "Alaric?" "I never knew you to be the one to give up, Livia." "Huh?" he just smiled. "Livia, baby, ca
Apollo Apollo stood in front of the mirror, adjusting his tailor-made suit that insinuated his best traits. Despite his power figure, "Business suits" amused him. He always thought of them as a societal membership of good virtues. But he knows firsthand that the most dangerous people are not those terrorizing the streets but those in judgment robes, blue-collar shirts, and fancy suits. The ones with their noses high in the air. There was a knock at the door. "You may enter." In walked Austin passed him a light smile. "I can assure you, the honor is all mine. I came to inform you the car is secured and awaits you at the front entrance, Mr. River." "I will down in a moment." "Of course, Mr. River." "Can you fetch Parker for me?" "As you wish, Mr. River." "I am already here. No need to fetch me. What, are you going to give me a chew toy next?" Parker grimaced. "Only if you are a good boy." Apollo teased. Parker was not pleased. "I love you like a brother, but you can jump off t
Parker I dragged Apollo to the garden area, away from the gathering. "Where are you taking me, Parker?" With the stupidest grin, "You mind explaining what that was?" Apollo was perplexed. "What are you talking about?" Parker's grin had grown wider. "I'm talking about how you were ogling that girl." "What, girl?" I poked him. "You know which girl I'm talking about. The one that gave the speech." Unknowingly a smile made its way to Apollo's lips. I haven't seen a smile like that, well, since ever. "Livia Moon," he chimed her name like he was enchanted under a spell. "And now you have this creepy look that would put scarecrows out of business." I teased. Apollo put on a blank face. "I was not ogling her." "Sure you weren't, and you are also not smiling while thinking about her." Apollo cleared his throat. "Can you do something for me?" I bet it pertains to a certain someone. "Don't I always?" "Can you get her for me?" "Who, Livia? Why?" "I would like to indulge in an intell
Livia "Livia, get your ass down here. We are already running late and need to pick up the others." Nina yelled from downstairs. "Watch your mouth, young lady." Audrey scolded. "Sorry, Mom." "I'm here." The heels clicking on the marble stairs grabbed the duo's attention. Nina examined her outfit. "Damn, Livia, you look hot." "Nina," Audrey called her daughter's name warningly. "Like you never cursed before," she mumbled. Audrey gave her a threatening glare. "What did you say?" "Nothing, my beautiful mother." she backtracked, "But we should be going. Thanks to Livia, I'm sure we will get an earful from Zoe." Flipping her hair. "You can't rush perfection, Nina." Audrey straightened Livia's choker. "And you look divine, my girl. Nina could learn a thing or two from you. Maybe three." she teased. "Alight, that's enough out of you two." Nina pushed Livia towards the door. "Bye, Mom. I'll be back sometime tomorrow." "Be responsible," "We will, old woman." Nina taunted. Audrey c
Livia Incoming group call Nina answered the call, "Hello, darling." "Where are y'all?" Percy asked. We could hear music blaring in the background. "Being fashionably late. Relax." Nina responded. Percy sneered. "It's fashionable if you look good. Otherwise, you're late and don't respect others' time." Nina rolled her eyes. "Rude." "No, what's rude are those busted stripper heels you're probably wearing." She gasped, "Never disrespected my Christian Louboutin stilettos. They make my calves pop, and this ass voluptuous." This time Percy was the one to gasp, "Ass? Since when?" These two are constantly at each other's throats. "My gosh, Percy. We just pulled up. Where do you want to meet?" It went silent. Livia thought the call had dropped. "You did not just call me by my name." "I'm sorry, but can you tell me where to go." "Come to the back. We reserved a spot for you." He hung up the phone before I could say anything. "Somebody's in trouble." Sandra razzed. I
Livia I take it back. I am still determining exactly how long we've been walking after roaming through an abandoned train station that led us to a hidden tunnel. We now stand in front of a weird door that I have no clue what's behind it. Alaric opened the door to pitch darkness. "Ladies first." he gestured for me to enter. I looked at the hole and then back at Alaric. "Find it." He furrowed his eyebrows. "Find what?" "Your mind. Clearly, you have lost it if you think I will willingly crawl in there. You guys brought me here; you go first." I said, backing away but being halted by a hard chest. Jonah looked down at me. "There is nothing to be afraid of." "Oh yeah, then why don't you do the honors of going first." Jonah and Alaric glanced at each other before I knew it; I was being lifted in the air. I started to kick, punch, and grab anything I could. "Ouch, got damn it, Livia, stop pulling my hair. Alaric, stop laughing and help me." Alaric tried to pry my hands out of Jonah
Malakai "I was like you once. A neglective father that blamed me for all his life problems." he looked off to the distance, reminiscing, "Do you know what it's like to never feel your mother's love." "Try not having any recollection of ever having a mother. I guarantee it's a far worse feeling." Livia thought. Malakai continued with his painful memory. "My mother died during childbirth. My father took it upon himself to instill that I murdered my mother. He constantly reminded me of how I took the love of his life away from him. In his words, if my wife didn't have such a big heart and terminated the pregnancy after knowing the risk like I told her, she would be here with me, and I wouldn't be stuck with a curse." A curse? Did his own father call him a curse? Livia balled her fist in anger. "How can he blame you for that? You didn't choose to be born." she burst. "And if your father loved your mother the way he claimed, he would have loved you with a mother's heart, not a stranger.

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
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,
