Dangerous Affection: The billionaire and the college girl. Chapter 13
RAVEN “So we’re being watched right now?” Daya asked, her voice laced with concern. “Yes, Daya,” I replied, for the third time. I dropped my backpack onto the table and slumped into the chair, seeking refuge in our usual sanctuary—the library. Daya sat across from me, her eyes gleaming with curiosity. “Guess what I found out yesterday,” she whispered. I popped an M&M into my mouth and raised an eyebrow. “What’s that?” “Okay, this might sound random,” she said, lowering her voice, “but I went to visit my uncle yesterday”. I gave her a wary look. “ okay. So..?” “Well... I think my uncle might know something about the Maranos.” That caught my attention. I sat up straighter. “Wait—what?” “I know, I know, it sounds crazy,” she rushed, rubbing her eyes. “But hear me out. He’s been around, you know? In and out of sketchy circles for years. Drugs, black-market stuff. He’s not exactly law-abiding.” I nodded slowly. I knew about her uncle—sort of. She never went into detail.

RAVEN Would you think me naïve if I admitted I believed running into Dem had been a coincidence? After everything that happened today, I convinced myself his presence in my life was some kind of divine intervention—like a guardian angel sent to protect me. The moment he pulled me away from Marco, that suspicion I once had— that he might be following me—slipped quietly to the back of my mind. Gratitude does that to people. When someone shields you, you start rewriting the story in your head, painting them in softer colors. In LA, I thought we were simply in the same place at the same time. The second encounter? I told myself it was pure chance. And what happened today, I let myself believe it. But now, the truth began to dawn. Dem’s subtle smirk confirmed it. “So it wasn’t a coincidence?” I asked, turning to him. He shrugged, offering no apology.I looked at Xavier, heat rising in my chest. “Why’d you send Dem to follow me?” Xavier’s smile was maddeningly unreadable. “Because I w

XAIVER *A Week Ago* I sat behind my desk, drumming my fingers against the armrest. Marco had been too quiet. Didn’t he know what we’d done? It had been a full week since Emily helped us dismantle his cybersecurity network. The intercom buzzed, slicing through the silence. “Victor’s here, sir.” Victor entered with a heavy expression, eyes dark with concern. “I think the Marano family knows,” he said plainly. I leaned forward. “Why do you say that?” “Someone tried to hack into our network, but they couldn’t get through. It wasn’t a random attack. It was too deliberate. That means Marco suspects something. He’ll be coming.” I smirked, suppressing the satisfaction that rose in my chest. The Marano family had been bleeding for weeks. Their networks were fractured, their operations crumbling. I'd reclaimed control of the trade routes and pipelines. As if on cue, the intercom buzzed again. “Sir... Mr. Marono is storming toward your office. I—I don’t think I can stop him.”

RAVEN. I sat in the diner with Daya, my mind wandering. I hadn't told her about what I saw while hacking for Xavier. Why? I don't know. She only knew about the $50,000. It still felt surreal—having that much money, like it was all mine. I’d sent $10,000 to Racheal, my sister, to start up a business. I made her promise not to tell Mom and Dad. She was surprised but still happy. Ever since LA, I’d been carrying this heavy knot in my chest. The things I said, the way I acted—it had been eating at me. Maybe sending Racheal the money was my way of patching the wound, of easing the guilt just a little. At least with her, I knew it wouldn’t go to waste. Racheal was smart, grounded—she’d make something of it. Unlike Lisa. I let out a long breath. Lisa… I’d sort of apologized to Racheal, in my own way, even if I hadn’t said the words outright. But Lisa—I hadn’t even called her yet.Maybe I’d been too harsh in LA. I shouldn’t have been so mean to them. I sighed again. “Everything oka

XAIVER I never thought she’d be able to pull it off. Truthfully, I’d been ready to fly in one of the world’s top hackers to assist us. There were names I had on standby—people who owed me favors. But Victor insisted she was enough—that she had the skills, the instincts. I hadn’t believed it. Not completely. For years, we tried. Brought in teams, spent money, burned time. No one cracked it. And now? Just one person. Her. We’ve done the impossible. We have the files. Every last one. Documents exposing the corruption of highranking politicians, CEOs, judges—anyone who ever mattered in this city.And the Marano family? Stripped bare. We hit them where it hurt the most— their secrets. I’m proud. Incredibly proud. My little Raven made me proud today. The silence in my office was broken by the buzz of the intercom. “Sir, Victor’s here.” “Send him in,” I said, still staring at the encrypted folder flashing on my screen. Victor entered, grinning like he’d just won a war. And in a way

XAIVER “Victor, we need to breach the Marono family's cyber security now. We can't wait one more day. Their system is notoriously impenetrable. Do you think she can do it?" I asked, studying the schematics. Victor nodded, his eyes locked on the screen. "I've been reviewing the test results, sir. Emily stands out. She cracked the sample code in half the time." I raised an eyebrow. "That's impressive, isn't it?" "Yes, sir. She's the only one who passed within that timeframe. The others either failed or took twice as long."I leaned back, impressed. I never thought she was that good. I had checked her background—she was smart in school, sure, but not exactly known for code-breaking. I didn’t even expect her to apply for our job. I was as surprised as Victor when he told me she came in yesterday. A college undergraduate with no formal hacking record beating professionals? That wasn’t just skill. That was instinct. Precision. Looks like I’ll have to look deeper into Emi
