LOGIN“Looks like we’re walking into a full house. I plan to make things clear and set them straight… then I’ll give them a surprise. Just a small package.”She glanced over her shoulder at the envelope sitting on the back seat.Her phone rang. Maya’s name lit the screen.“Alright,” Maya’s voice came through. “I’ve made the payment. Sort things out. When you’re done, let me know.”“Yes.” Fidelia hung up without another word.……Fidelia stepped into her parents’ house.Her stepmother was there. Her stepsister too. And… Silas.Silas smiled at her with that same soft, practiced smile.“I’ve forgiven you,” he said, voice warm. “You can come back… you can come back to me.”They were all smiling at her when Fidelia smiled back.Then Andrian walked in.He’d been delayed earlier by his ex, so she had arrived first.Now he stepped up beside her, and Fidelia’s voice cut through the room.“I want you to meet my husband.”She walked to him, kissed him on the lips, then turned and faced them.“This is A
The hacker had been waiting for a while. After noticing that his target’s account had stayed empty for quite some time, he started to doubt whether the man had realized something was wrong. Still, he waited.Then, all of a sudden, a huge amount of money entered the target’s bank account and crypto wallet. Everything had been funded back.He straightened up in his chair and started typing a series of codes, eyes locked on the screen. After a while he finally got access and wiped everything off. It was so smooth he didn’t even break a sweat.He was still counting the figures when a notification popped up. He cleared it — and the next second he watched the account being drained of every single cent.‘What the fuck?’He typed furiously, trying to stop whoever was hacking him, trying to block the other person, but it was already too late. All the funds were gone. The balance sat at zero.Another notification appeared:Try again. Try harder next time.He stood there breathing hard, then sla
Andrian stared at his phone in disbelief.It was too real. How could this happen again after Fidelia had already hacked him once? He had ordered his team to secure the accounts in multiple layers. It wasn’t supposed to be possible.“This can’t be happening… it’s not possible. My accounts have been secured in multiple layers,” he muttered, still staring at the endless debit alerts.Then he turned and looked at Fidelia.“What did you do?” His voice was tight with anger.“Huh what did I do?”“I didn’t do anything. It seems your account has already been compromised,” she said calmly, her hands still moving across the keyboard.“If I wanted your money gone, I wouldn’t have sent it back to you first.” She glanced at him. “Listen. I’m going to help you get it back… but not for free.”“What do you want this time?”“Again?” Fidelia raised an eyebrow, pretending to be offended. A frown settled on her face. “Have you forgotten you’re the one who needs my help? You know what? Find someone else.”
In her room, Fidelia kept staring as the coin rose insanely. She had almost given up earlier. Now she was way past her current profit.With full concentration she opened her laptop. It was easier to keep track that way. She remembered her past life — this coin never got past the ATH (All Time High). This was the highest it had ever gone, and she remembered it.It was almost at the top when a message popped up on her screen.She thought it was a notification, but when she checked, her frown deepened and her hands started to tremble.It was a message from her stepmother.‘Come home now and I’ll forgive you. Then we can talk about your wedding date with Silas. We are all expecting you. Be a good girl. You never disobey… remember yesterday, right? …Be a good girl.’As she read it, she felt like crying. The words were outrageous.But she took a deep breath, calmed herself, and tossed the phone onto the bed. She needed to focus.By the time she turned back to the laptop, the coin had alread
Then they heard a glass fall and break.Both of them froze.Only Maya was outside.They quickly dressed and rushed out.“What happened?” Andrian asked, staring at his sister who was clearly in a drunken state.“Sorry… I mistakenly broke the bottle,” Maya mumbled, eyes half-open. She squinted at the two of them and pointed a finger. “You two look busy…” Then her head dropped and she fell asleep right there.“You…” Andrian really wanted to throw curses, but he held them in.Fidelia grinned. “She’s drunk. You should help her to bed.”She turned and walked back to her room. She still needed to rest.She had a long, bad day. Her stepsister and stepmother had done a lot of damage — to her heart, her body, and her money.She had been watching her phone the entire time so she could sell the coin at the right moment, but she hadn’t realized it had already dipped.She kept thinking of ways to take her revenge. She needed to take it back.In the middle of those thoughts, she fell asleep.……The
“I already have a few names in mind,” he said, glancing at her. “Contacts I can pull in. But it’s not going to be simple. There are competitors circling the same project, and if I make one wrong move, they’ll use it to undermine me in front of the board.”“You’re enjoying this, aren’t you?” she teased.Andrian gave a quiet laugh. “A little. I like pressure — it makes me sharper. But I also know I can’t afford any distractions right now.”“Meaning me?” she asked with a faint smile.He reached over, brushing her hand. “No. Meaning I’ll need you to keep me grounded while I’m chasing this deal. And maybe…” He leaned closer. “…remind me why it’s worth winning in the first place.”She shook her head but couldn’t help smiling back. “Fine. But if you crash, don’t expect me to come dragging you out of the mess alone.”“I won’t crash,” he said simply, his tone full of certainty.By the time the plates were pushed aside and the glasses refilled, the air between them had shifted. The wine had don
