《Crazy》10: Almost
Advertisement
I stared at the kitchen doorway. Did that really just happen! My eyes widened. I was momentarily frozen in my spot.
They're the same!! Only he's probably worse. Drew hadn't touched me in any sexual way since I've been conscious but this other guy. The way Drew talked to him...he seemed much worse.
Drew called him a sadist.
I didn't want to imagine all the horrible things that I currently was. I wanted it to all go away.
I heard a slam and that brought me back to reality.
"Damn it. Fücking shit." Drew slammed his fist on the countertop. I didn't know what to do. I sure as hell didn't feel like comforting him.
"Go back to your fùcking room." His anger was suddenly directed towards me. I scurried back the way my feet had remembered. I could hear his steps not far behind.
I almost cried out on fear. What if he killed me once I got back to the room?
When I reached the door I cautiously reached for the handle. But something stopped me. Well more like someone.
A strong masculine smell invaded my nose. He was close. Too close. His body heat was once again present. He was breathing onto my hair. I stood frozen.
I saw his hands come up and he caged me in his arms. Oh no. Please don't touch me, please don't--
"Fück, I'm not like him." That was all I heard before his presence was suddenly gone. What happened...?
Did he just walk away? I opened the door quickly and stepped in closing it behind me without looking behind to see if he was there.
Since the locks were turning I could tell he was behind me the whole time. I quickly moved to the bed, content to actually be in here.

For once this room felt the safest in a while. I felt safe from him. Safe from his ragged breaths. Masculine scent. Deep voice. Safe from the man that ruined my life.
Safe from the man that ruined me.
I shook my head clearing my thoughts. I couldn't think like this or else I'd act irrationally. Thinking like this got me angry and if I get angry then I do things without thinking.
I could lose my life in this case.
He made it clear he's only in it for the money. I am of no use to him. He's taken my blindfold off, I know his damn identity for crying out loud! He's going to kill me.
I know it.
I can feel it.
He's not going to let me out alive or why else would he do that. Unless...no. It's not even a possibility.
He wouldn't kill himself after getting all the money that he kidnapped me for. He's probably planning on getting away, far away. A different country probably.
Fine with me, as long as he never comes back. I couldn't--wouldn't be able to deal with it if I were freed and he returned to my life.
The sound of locks clicking made my head snap up. I didn't even realize I was currently laying on the mattress.
He walked in, back straight, gaze set at the wall behind me, mouth in a firm line, and he walked almost like he was in a marching band. Only it didn't look the same, they were calculated steps.
He had a tray in his right hand. His left hand balled up into a fist.
"Eat up." Was all he said before almost throwing the tray onto the mattress and leaving again.
Leaving me in my thoughts to try and decipher the man he was, and what he would do next.
But in the end I really got no where.
I looked down at the tray on the bed to no longer see the disgusting food I usually got. No this time he brought me real food, lasagne and salad.
Maybe this is my favorite food...

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.
