The Devil's Sweetheart

"They are worse than kids Austin."

Austin and Leah exhaled a loud sigh at their quirks. They could accept Leena's actions. But it was getting hard for them to digest Devin's childish behavior. As far as they remembered, he always maintains a reserved front since they have been seeing him. Now that they are watching him turn into a lovesick, both shook heads in disbelief.

"We need to pull them apart Austin. It would be no end to the banters and we need their help right now." With that, they dragged both off them into the house. Quietly, Leena and Devin also followed when they realized their behavior looked like silly gaffes.

"Please help us first," Austin begged the moment they entered into their room. "We will leave you alone after our problem is solved."

"You better be," Devin whispered. My sweetheart's sleep is already ruined because of you both.

"Give a call to him, Leah. Convince him and make him believe that you are really in short of money. But a little careful, don't stammer with your words while speaking." Devin elucidated.

"Ok." Composing her emotions, Leah went out to call him. Watching her leave, Leena began praying with all her might to receive the good news from her friend when she is back.

"At least show some expressions. You are looking like a bot." Devin whispered taking her rigid statue.

"I am no robot, no unicorn. If you call me with those funky names next time, trust me, I will make your AK DRAGON doesn't work for your future generations to come." Devin instantly shut his mouth with the threat.

With a victory smile, Leena got up to bring her system for tonight's work.

"I will go and look for Leah." Austin got up looking for Leah when she was not showing up for an hour and just then the door also opened.

"He agreed," Leah said. She could still sense her hands were shaking in fear when Bernard was interrogating if she is trying to trick him as she did five years ago. Only when he didn't trace any suspicious calls in her mobile, he reluctantly agreed.

Austin breathed a sigh of relief. Now that one of the tasks is completed, they have another big mission. To destroy the evidence of their company secrets from his computer.

"Asshole! I will kill him once I get everything back." He balled his fists in anger.

"I will hire someone to hack into his computer," Austin stated.

Even though he was taking risk of allowing another intruder, he doesn't have a choice now. Austin barely heard Leena talking about removing something from Bernard's computer, but he brushed off the thought reasoning she was just bluffing to make Leah comfort at that time.

"You don't need to. She can handle herself." Pointing towards Leena, Devin stated.

Scared, Leena looked at him with a sunken mouth. How did he know about it?

When Leena unlocked her laptop a while before, Devin peeked into it too and he was amazed to see hundreds of high leveled technical tools installed on her computer. For a moment, he thought she is a skilled programmer.

There was only one question running in his head. How does a fashion model aware of the most high level and advanced languages? When he looked into his darlings wiki, except that she is a model, there was no other information, be it her studies, her likes, dislikes.

"What exactly is your identity sweetheart?" He wondered. When she bragged of destroying the data to Leah, like Austin, he also believed she was only cooking up a story to comfort Leah. But now that he has witnessed everything, he had a gut feeling that she must have hidden her identity.

"Vincy, how can you trust her. She doesn't know_"

"Get your ass out of here Mr. Austin Sawyer if you need help. Bring one of the most trusted employee's information from his company. Right Now!" Leena declared leaving no room for the discussions.

Austin and Leah shuddered at her sudden change of aura.

The Devil is back into badass mode. Devin chuckled.

"Are you dumb or you didn't hear me?" Leena screamed when Austin was standing like a statue. She then began googling Bernard Gibbs's information. If she is lucky, she may find his weak spot so that she can swindle him easily when she strikes.

Nodding his head, Austin was about to make a call to get Bernard's information, Devin stopped him.

"Your number might be tracked. Use the private one." Leena gave double thumbs for Devin's spontaneous thought.

"Why do you have advanced technical tools on your computer?" Devin asked squeezing her cheeks with a sweet smile.

"I_I just downloaded out of boredom." Leena swatted his hands and went back to her work.

How long will you mask the lie sweetheart? Will she ever trust and share her secrets with me?

....

"Oliver Henry. His right hand and his executive assistant. I was informed Bernard only trusts his words in the company. All his information is in the drive." Austin handed the USB after he came back. He was still skeptical of this monster's abilities.

Connecting the USB to her system, Leena scanned the data for once and immersed into the world she was in love with, her dear husband.

She was completely focused on it without knowing Austin, Leah, and even Devin were stunned by the way she was jabbing the keyboard and her brain which was processing as fast as a computer.

"I am sure the keyboard will break in no time," Leah whispered poking Austin's arm.

Writing and running a series of codes with the information she got, Leena hacked into Bernard's assistant mobile and traced his IP address in no more than three seconds. Fetching Bernard's contact name, Leena sent an immediate phishing message to Bernard.

[Assistant Olivier: We have got an official mail from Maestro creations which you were trying to make a deal for a long time Mr. Gibbs. Please check your mail inbox]

"I am done. Message sent to Bernard from his assistant mobile. Now we wait for that scum to fall into our trap." Leena stretched her body like a cat for relief and showed the message to everyone.

Austin, Leah, and even Devin looked at her in shock. It was not even half a minute, she hacked it just like that?

"But darling, what are the odds that Bernard would open the mail now itself," Leah asked in confusion.

"He is waiting for a deal with Maestro creations for a long time which I found in his information. So, the probability is quite high. Eager to know about the deal, and to save his company, he will definitely open the mail immediately and fall into our trap." Leena explained.

"That's when the game starts. I have created a phishing email ID of the Maestro creations CEO which slightly varies from the original one. Out of curiosity, that scum would not even bother to check the mail ID properly and opens the mail directly."

"Her server records the IP address of his computer. That's when my sweetheart will strike and steal the credentials and enter into his world." Devin added to her. He has really underestimated her abilities.

"Don't call me sweetheart, idiot. How many times I have to remind you." Leena yelled. How did he know about hacking? Is he also one?

"Sorry sweetheart. I am a little deaf when you speak." He winked.

Leah and Austin exhaled a deep sigh again.

"Hey, monster! When did you learn to hack?" Austin changed the topic to stop their bantering.

"Out of boredom. But I only know a little." Leena sheepishly said not to make it obvious. They have already learned a lot about me for today. I should be careful.

Out of boredom? Who is she trying to cloak? Devin scoffed.

"He is in! He fell into our trap and clicked the decoy link." Leena exclaimed and flange up a software suite immediately. She waited for Bernard to close the computer so that it doesn't warn him when she hacks it. Within minutes, she downloaded all the secrets of Austin's and Lewis company secrets and placed them in front of Austin and Leah. She then checked and destroyed the remnants from his backup in case if he has stored it elsewhere.

"Vincy, did you already knew about her skills? Holy Fucking shit! This monster just cracked it in minutes." Austin muttered in disbelief.

Even Devin doesn't have words to describe his emotions right at this moment.

Looking at her hands which were moving over the keyboard faster than mice and the way she was breaking the security walls in seconds. What is she? Is she a human bot?

She even knows to lure people into her trap by playing with their emotions. Mind hacking is not an easy task and she must be practicing hacking for a long time.

Is she a black hat or white hat? Devin wished it would be latter. But his gut feeling was telling that she is the former one.

Black hat.
