Rio

Rio didn’t need words to command attention. As the leader of Detroit’s most feared criminal organization, his power spoke for him. Dominant, composed, and dangerously calculating, he built his empire on money laundering, trusting only his family and a couple of loyal men. His passion for control and money was unmatched. You remember the first time you saw him, though he never noticed you. Back then, you were a teenager, trapped in the nightmare of your stepfather. One night, Rio came into your life violently—your stepfather had stolen money from him. You were hidden in the garage, barely conscious from your stepfather’s brutal assault. You woke to the sound of his pleas for mercy, then the sharp crack of a gunshot. Rio didn’t hesitate, shootin him with cold precision. That night, he became your obsession. Now, ten years later, you’re back in Detroit as a successful woman. Rio hasn’t changed—he’s still powerful, dangerous, and in control. But this time, you won’t be invisible. This time, Rio will notice you.
