Andrian was looking at his phone in disbelief. It was just too real to be true. How could something like this happen to him again after Fidelia had hacked him the first time he had gotten his team to secure his account.
He had told them to secure his account. I'm multilayer so it wasn't possible to get hacked but now it was easily hacked.
"This can't be happening…it's not possible my accounts have been secured in multiple layers" He couldn't believe it but it just happened right in front of him. Then he turned his back and looked at Fidelia
"What did you do?" Andrian said feeling pissed.
"I didn't do anything. Your account has been compromised already" She told him while her hands were moving on the key board.
"If I wanted your money gone I wouldn't have sent it to you. Listen I'm going to help you get it back but not for free"
"What do you want again this time around?"
"Again?..wait have you forgotten you are one that needs my help.. you know what find someone else" Fidelia said pretending to be angry as a frown was on her face.
"Fine deal..just help me sort it out" Andrian tried calming her down only to see her frown being replaced by a grin.
"Now we are talking I'll tell you later let me teach this people a lesson"
Her hands started moving fast as she stared fully focused on her laptop screen. She had actually set a trap for them.
She didn't know who the hacker was but she knew they would hack him so she had planned everything done. She had tracked everything.
The hacker first stole a small amount of money first that was unnoticeable before clearing everything away from the account.
She had created a program for these 'Return Home' She activated the program and continuously poured series of code into the system tracing the signal from Andrian drained account back to the hackers account.
She was battling a series of encrypted firewalls that were blocking her routes. She didn't stop there. She continued breaking through those firewalls. And she kept on tracking the hacker, no matter how he shifted his proxies, or rotated them with different VPNs, or changed his IP. She kept on tracking him down.
And then she found it. The account was still active, and he was still logged in.
"Wow. Do I call this foolishness, or is it confidence?"
"Well I won't touch it." Fidelia smiled. " I'll wipe it all"
She continued again. And then she started deploying a ghost shield. It was like a harmless-looking notification that popped up, covering part of the screen. She was sure he was going to clear it.
And her assumption was right. He did clear the notification.
That was when she gained access. The hacker had taken the bait, and instantly, the system was open for her to examine. It was as if he had opened the door for her himself. Fidelia slipped in.
She made sure she wasn't detected yet, following the same data tunnel they had used to hack through, entering his system and wiping off his account. She passed through the fake firewalls, came through the decoy files, and landed in the transaction panel.
The balance was right there, and it was even more than they had stolen from her. It seemed this had been the main account they'd used to hack other accounts. She just kept on smiling while her hands kept moving.
Then the 'Return back' program ."
Then the funds started going back into Andean's account. It went twice as fast as it did when the hacker was hacking into Andean's account.
This time, the hacker noticed, and he was trying his best to stop it. She was fighting him, trying to hold him off, and she wiped his account clean until there was no longer any money in it.
She left a note for the hacker.
'Try better next time. I got my service fee by the way'
Then she logged herself out and wiped any details of her ever entering the system.
Now she was going to clean any traces of her and remove the hacker's entrance back into Andrian's account. She continued and set up new data security.
Now she was going to prevent any form of attack. She created new firewalls, and when she was done, she pressed the key Enter and all was done.
"That's it?" Andrian asked, he knew nothing of how these hackers work.
"Yes" "Oh now wait" Fidelias's hand went back to the keyboard and then she hacked again into his account and left only what she had sent him while the rest was her own personal reward.
"Now I'm done," she said with a smile.
Andrian looked at the notification again and took a deep breath and then he exhaled looking at her with an expression that says 'I see what you did there'
"I'm going to get dressed up"
"Wait..whosoever did this to you wanted to wreck you for real..in a very bad way" Fidelia said, being serious now. She remembered during her last Life how wrecked he was.
"I know that's why I'm not okay with it" Andrian said with a gloomy expression
"It has to be someone close to you that did it. Can you think of anyone?" Fidelia spoke as she closed her laptop as she was done with it.
"No I can't, and it's not a coincidence knowing the challenge I made with the board" He paused for a second. "I would have be wrecked"
Andrian wanted to say 'Thank you" But then they heard a knock and it was from Maya.
"Hope you guys are not doing what I think" She uttered and Andrian not fat from the door opened.
"Maya you are not allowed to come greet me again till further notice. I'll be a married man soon"
"Well until then you are not!" She spat out and he pushed her out.
Fidelia could help but smile. 'This Is what a family she never had looks like' She felt really jealous .
She was also happy she had struck the jackpot twice today. Her fingers were dancing over her phone. Then her eyes caught a headline flashing across the news feed. She froze, read twice, then smiled like she'd just found gold. She dialed Mia's number instantly .
"Mia," she said into her phone without greeting, "Drop everything. You're buying Topnotch Investment Company today. You'll be CEO by morning. what ever the amount is ill pay"
"Fidelia, what?"
"Call it a birthday gift," she interrupted, her voice low, "for my dear step-sister."
She hung up, her grin turning sharper. She was cooking up a revenge plan for Bridget to repay back in multiple folds.
