Chapter 52: The Truth
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

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
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 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."

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 1: The Beginning
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
Crimson Chronicles: Apollo & His Queen Chapter 2: Ceremony
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
Crimson Chronicles: Apollo & His Queen Chapter 3: Greetings
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
