“Felix,” she says, her voice low and husky. “I need to talk to you in private.”
I raise an eyebrow in surprise but follow her to a quiet corner of the room. “What’s up?” I ask her.
“I think I know how to get the hackers to come to us,” she says, her eyes flashing excitedly.
“How?” I ask.
Emily steps closer to me, her body brushing against mine.
“We stage a fake heist,” she says, her voice low and breathy.
“We make us look vulnerable like our security has been breached again.
Then we wait for the hackers to come to us.”
“Can you do that?” I ask, party enthralled and part intimidated by this wondrous, brilliant woman before me.
“Watch me. It’s going to be a long night.”
Chapter 18
EMILY
IknowI’msupposedto be focused on the task at hand, but how can I possibly be when Felix is right around the corner, careful of any need I may have?
I know I’ve been working for him but never worked under him directly. Now that I am, I’m beginning to understand the man behind the Don.
He’s cunning, ruthless, and trusting. He knows when to step back and when to interfere. He knows nothing about securities, so he doesn’t question, pry, or doubt.
That level of freedom is petrifying and exhilarating. Wouldn’t it be for anyone?
As he brings me a cup of coffee and instructs his two enforcers to remain quiet so I can focus, my mind wanders off to an incident of the past.
One night, when I was studying for my SATs, my father threw a party.
My mother told him to keep it quiet, and he barged into my room, ripped up my books, and told me I’d never have to study.
He’d take care of me, and then my husband would care for me.
The memory forever haunts my mind, for my father never asked me what I wanted.
Felix isn’t like that. He wants to make my every desire come true.
A man like that is a gem.
I’m pulled out of my thoughts when I notice a red alert on the wallet.
“Alright,” I say, “Someone is in.”
“Are you sure this is a good idea?” Angelo asks, sweat huddling on his brows.
“Look,” I say, “look here. Now that we’ve changed all the passwords to be the same, their chances of hacking us are good.
When they transfer, the code will pick up their IP address, and we can track exactly where they are.”
“But what if they take everything from our account?”
“The minute we get our location, we’ll make sure our other accounts are emptied into the new wallet I set up,” I say, my voice hard and determined.
