Chapter 31: Vulnerability
Narration Malakai led them to the top floor. The lights were dimmed with a warm hue. The gold and white interior mirrored walls, and the massive crystal chandeliers suspended from the center gave off a fresh, sophisticated vibe. "This is our private lounge. Feel free to get comfortable here." "Don't mind if we do." Poet quickly sat on one of the sofas, gently bouncing, "This is so comfy, and I love the vibe." Luca felt proud of himself. "I am not the one to toot my own horn, but, toot toot, I designed it myself." Heath frowned. "Luca, please. You did nothing but give useless input about wanting it as if you were sitting on a fluffy cloud high in the luxurious sky." "It was fitting at the time," Luca reasoned. "It was stupid. Try sitting on an actual cloud, then come back to me." Heath snickered. "That's if you're alive." "You are so mean." Luca moped. "It's my day job, bro." Heath loved teasing Luca, but he was someone he doted on the most. "Anyway, how about we get some dr

Chapter 32: Winter's Coming
WinterWinter paced back and forth, trying to control the anger building from within. Anger is a tricky emotion that must be repressed thoughtfully. A fire seed of anger can still inflame its surroundings. It starts small and undetected, but if not extinguished at the source, it grows into a flame that destroys everything in its path. I couldn't stop thinking about what had just happened. "What the hell were you thinking, Faye? Your stupidity and carelessness could have gotten us killed."Faye rolled her eyes. "What are you talking about?" "You were picking fights on territory that doesn't belong to you and flaunting your money as if it buys respect." my anger was simmering at Faye's carelessness."Money rules the world," she said ignorantly, "and I wasn't picking a fight." "Oh really?"∞∞∞Flashback Heading to the racer's booth to check in, there was gossip about someone called Goddess of Hell's Peak."Did you see the final roaster?" "No, why?" "The Goddess herself is racing ton

Chapter 33: Ready! Set! Go!
LiviaWe got into our respective positions based on our dashcam numbers. I was in the center with dashcam 05. To my right were Alicia 04, Zoe 09, Nina 011, and Sandra 010 behind me. "You ready, babes?" Alicia yelled over the roaring engines."Hell yeah, I am," I yelled back. The awaited thrill of my car drifting around every twist and turn coursed through my blood. From my peripheral, I can see other racers getting into position. A smirk etched onto my lips as Faye pulled up to my left. "I can't wait to see your face after I cross the finish line first." I taunted."Oh, don't get your hopes too high. Otherwise, your ego will come crashing down to earth," she said smugly. My ego? I simply smiled at her and then focused on what was before me. One second is all it takes. A single second, a moment of hesitation could determine if you are ahead of the pack or the tail."RACERS ARE YOU READY?!" the flag girl shouted.I revved my engine four times, one for each member, and the girls did t

Chapter 34: Shut It Down
Narration"RACERS, ARE YOU READY!"Percy jumped excitedly, "Finally, the race is about to begin!"They all sat in front of the flat screen to watch a much-anticipated race. Adrian sat on the edge of his seat with expectation. "This going to be so good."Apollo felt differently. The cameras panned from the racers to Hell's Peak. The street wrapped around the mountain leading to the top only to be sling-shotted down a winey slope on the other side. "This is the preliminary race?" Apollo asked with terror and worry in his voice."SET!"Malakai saw how worried the members of the Crimson Clan were for his sisters. "Don't worry. Livia, Alicia, Nina, Sandra, and Zoe have raced this mountain so many times it's second nature to them now. Trust me." he smiled reassuringly."GO!" Apollo watched with amazement at Livia's skill. She was the first over the starting line leading the pack. The way she drifted around the first sharp curve was beautiful. "What the hell?" Apollo yelled, witnessing on

Chapter 35: Eye See
NarrationTaking this up to the high table will guarantee the immediate death of the imposters. "Do you think we must go that far? I'm not against it, but I want to ensure you are positive about this decision." Councilman Yang asked. "Sir, if I may, you seem like a reasonable guy. I will take the punishment. Just let the other girls go. They are my responsibility, so it's my fault I let things get this bad right under my nose. I am sorry on their behalf." "You can't keep bailing them out whenever they do something reckless, Winter. How will they learn if you're always saving their ass? I swear they will be the death of you someday." Juno argued.Anna suddenly shoved Juno and yelled, "Shut up, Juno, what do you know? They can't touch us anyway!" Faye turned to face Councilman Yang. "Look, mister, you have no idea who we are. If a single hair is misplaced on our heads, our families will hunt you down and kill you and the rest of these people.""See what I mean, Winter? These entitle

Chapter 36: Verdict
ApolloWe 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

Chapter 37: Morning Chaos
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

Chapter 38: Delivery
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

Chapter 39: Mafia Banquet
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

Chapter 40: Beauty In Red
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'
