《The Typhoon’s Wife》The Typhoon's Wife
Advertisement
Assistant Yang called in a press conference for 1.00 p.m.The effects of this morning's rumors though had not affected the company,there is nothing to say that they won't affect in the future also.The spread of gossip about Ryu Long's marriage was not a problem.In fact that was positive news.Many old shareholders had been harping about Ryu's single status.But the rumor that his wife had been stabbed by the CEO himself was disturbing and defaming.Also,someone was trying to fine about the whereabouts of Leona Knight and curb the truth.He had received many calls to confirm about Ryu Long and whether he was currently in prison.
Early in the morning at 9.00am
Ryu woke to the sound of a phone ringing.Waking up blearily,he found that he was still sleeping in the same position with his hand on Alicia's waist.The phone stopped ringing only to start again a minute later. Irritated,he picked up the call and heard what Assistant Yang had to report.Listening to the report,Ryu mumbled a yes and then got up to freshen up.It seemed he was not going to get a holiday as it is.Placing his cell phone on the bed side table,he glanced at Alicia who had started to move and went towards the washroom.
After 15 minutes,Ryu came out of the washroom wearing a pair of grey trousers and white shirt.His jacket was hanging in the wardrobe and his top 2 buttons were still undone.He saw that Alicia was awake and already staring at him.Raising his eyebrow at her,he went towards the side table to wear his Rolex and get his phone.Alicia saw him ready to go and rolled her eyes internally. Wasn't he getting a leave today?What happened to that?Now he was all suited up.In a sulky voice,which was a bit heavy due to sleep,Alicia asked,"What happened to your leave today?Weren't you suppose to spend it to take care of me?"

Ryu looked up to see Alicia staring at him.It seemed She was in a mood to fight.However,before Ryu could answer,there was a knock on the door."Come in." called out Ryu.
A trollley was the first to come in.Pushing it in was a young nurse.Bowing deeply,the nurse said,"Good morning Sir,good morning Madam.My name is Nurse Mo.It is time for Madam to freshen up and change her bandages.Also what would madam like to eat?We can have it prepared by the time your bandages are changed.
Sulkily,Alicia answered,"His head on a platter will be fine".The nurse looked up in shock to see Alicia pointing towards Ryu. Meanwhile,
Ryu:".."
Seeing that the nurse was feeling scared,Ryu smiled and said,"You are a bloodthirsty one Missus.My head won't taste as good.Nurse Mo please ask the kitchens to prepare a sweet porridge for Madam Long."
Once the nurse heard the order,she scurried out of the room as if a few mad dogs were on her heel.
Ryu,then looked at Alicia and said,"No need to pout.I will be back soon.I have to attend a press conference regarding our marriage.It seems some enterprising body is spreading rumors that I have stabbed my new wife and she is currently hanging between life and death."
Alicia:".." Are people dumb enough to believe that.
However,satisfied with his explanation,Alicia decided to keep mum.She was staring as he picked up his phone.She felt a twinge of guilt and her expression turned weird. Ryu saw this and looked at her questioningly.However she immediately smoothed her expression and subdued her guilt.
What she had done to his phone wouldn't really harm him long term....right????
With a stern warning to ,"Take care",Ryu left for the day

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.

A secret that no one in Community saw coming...or did they? I will also post some of this story on Royal Road.Excerpt: To the right of the road the land rose sharply to a hill. Alex's gut tightened and fluttered as he realized their current location was not a wise one; low ground was a disadvantage in a conflict. Alex had a bad feeling, a hunch that he wasn't the only one searching. His attention was drawn to the top of the hill. Something was up there. They were being watched.
