All Chapters of Crimson Chronicles: Apollo & His Queen: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

NarrationIt was now 5:30 in the morning, and it didn't look like Apollo was waking up anytime soon. "I might as well work out. It's been a few days since I last visited my private gym." Livia quietly walked out of the room after changing into some gym clothes, and to her surprise, she wasn't the only one on a mission."Guess I am not the only early bird. Heading somewhere, Adrian?"He froze, turning to see Livia walking towards him. "Yeah, I was heading to the gym for an early morning workout."She nodded my head. "I was heading out to my private gym near here. Want to tag along?""Sure. If it's good, I may become a member.Livia rolled her eyes. "I'm already starting to regret my offer."It was a comfortable, silent drive until, "Livia, how did you do it? " Adrian suddenly asked.Frowning. "Tell me what I did, and maybe I can give you an answer.""How did you get an Aromantic person like Apollo to date you? The Apollo I grew to know never showed any interest in romance. He has alway

LiviaLater in the morning, the aroma of the fresh food sprawled on the table invaded the air. The boys started to trail in one by one."Good morning, Livia! Do you need help with anything?" Chris offered."Good morning, Chris. Can you finish setting the table for me? That would be a great help, thanks.""Okay, leave it to me. I will set the table like you have never seen before." He joked.Adrian wrapped his arms around my stomach and peeked over my shoulder. "It smells delicious.""Thanks."Apollo walked into the kitchen shortly after and paused at the view before him. "What the hell is this? Since when did you two become so close?"Adrian looked at him. "Since this morning while you all were busy sleeping. Why do you ask? Jealous?"Apollo pulled him away from me and took his place. "Yes, she mines. Find your own girl."I just chuckled and patted his arm. "Good morning to you too, handsome. Here try this." leaning back, I put a strawberry lightly coated in cinnamon into his mouth.H

ApolloAdrian and Cassian immediately shut their eyes and turned away. Poet and Parker whistled, Chris stood disinterested, and Jack was his usual observant self. "WHAT THE HELL? DON'T YOU GUYS KNOW HOW TO KNOCK?" I yelled, quickly covering Livia from their wondering eyes. Cassian looked at us, horrified. "Were you two just? I think I'm going to faint." Chris caught him. "Oh no, not again, Casanova. Parker, take him downstairs. Adrian ran back and forth frantically. "Oh my god, I think I'm going to be sick. Bleach my eyes. Erase the memory. Kill me now." Livia sighed. "Adrian, can you please stop being so dramatic." "Nice body, Liv." Poet complimented. "Thanks, Po." She responded. I glared at her before looking back at Poet. "Can you keep your eyes off my woman, please," I said through gritted teeth. He shrugged his shoulders. "Sorry, you know I am a sucker for stating facts." "I don't care. Keep your eyes off my woman and your compliments to yourself, especially

LiviaI sat in the front-row middle seat, leaning against Apollo's shoulder. Parker was focused on driving while Cassian was in the passenger seat. Those two always seemed to be joined at the hip. The others were behind me, clowning at each other as usual.Beep Beep"What's that kitten?" Apollo questioned, looking down at me."A Satellite Radar Beacon, SRB for short. It notifies Underground Citizens of nearby entry points."Adrian chuckled, taking a sip of his 1947 Cheval Blanc. "Once we enter the Underground, think of yourselves as nothing because your life depends on it. Everything you are here means nothing to the people of the Underground. Partially nothing. Aside from Livia and I, you have no stature.""You forget something, Adrian. We must make it through Dead Zone before reaching Race Capitol.""Ahh, I forgot about that. It's been so long.""What's Dead Zone?" Jack asked curiously."Dead Zone is the gateway surrounding the Underground like a forcefield. It's inaccessible and he

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
