《Raising Rio》24| story time
Advertisement
Throughout her entire life Riri has never lost her cool, sure she gets angry and frustrated like the next person would at the simplest of things, but she's never resorted to violence over anything unless it was Mafia related or completely necessary.
The only person who could ever drag her out of these phases where she completely lost it was either her Grandparents or Carson.
However, her Grandparents were amongst the rubble or had somehow gotten to safety and Carson, well he's egging her on to beat the living pulp out of the pussy that she is holding by their hair.
If it where almost natural instinct, Rio slammed Cassius' face to the floor and kicked the side of his ribs multiples of times, making him cough until blood began pouring from his mouth-no doubt it was from his now punctured lungs.
"Care to repeat what you said or do you want me to ruin that pretty face of yours? I'm sure your long list of mistresses will dump your sorry ass when they see you no longer have a pretty face." She gripped his jaw harshly, making the bastard before her wince at the action.
Spitting blood from his mouth, Cassius let out a dark chuckle that would have sent shivers down both Riri and Carson's spine if they weren't so angry. "Now, now no need to get personal."
"Cut with the bullshit, what is it you want? You wouldn't come all this way knowing you'd get your ass beat for nothing." Carson took the pathetic piece of shit from Rio's arms and hauled him against the wall face first.
"You're all so stupid, you'd think after all these years of Rio being away in Brazil that they wouldn't be after her?" Cassius laughed menacingly into the wall.

Rio and Carson shared a look with each other, Carson's being in confusion and Rio's being in guilt after not telling Carson the full reason of her being sent away when she was a little girl.
Hell he thought it was just family stuff as Rio told him many times he tried to get some explanation out of her.
"Rio, what the fuck is he on about?" Carson spat, his hold on Cassius's hair growing tighter by the second.
Before Rio could come up with a response, Cassius spoke for her. "Ah, so the young Esposito never told her ever so loving boyfriend the reason behind her being sent away.
Now this is a story time I'd love to tell."

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.
