Chapter 65 - Jealousy

"Sister, you are in the right hands," he replied with an evil grin. "If this Company belongs to Jason, then I will ruin it!"

"Hell no!" she said feeling gripped by an irrational fear. "All you should do is find a little more about it." She chuckled out of nervousness.

Cole clucked his tongue. "Tsk, tsk. You are always such a scaredy cat."

Dawn guffawed and ruffled his hair. "I am not a scaredy cat but unlike you, I like to play safe." And that was a lie. However, she had to set an example in front of her brother, so how could she admit that she loved challenges.

"Al righty! In that case, I will simply hack into their website. After that you can do whatever you like," said Cole and started to work. His fingers worked magic on the computer.

Dawn was amazed to see her brother. Since when did her fifteen-year-old brother grow to become a hacker? She watched him showing his skills on her computer. She leaned back as beads of sweat trickled down her forehead as she stared at the white texts that he typed against the black background. "Cole, you be careful. They might trace it back to us!" she said with worry in her voice. "And when and where'd you learn hacking from?" No wonder he had given her interesting advice about her blog.

"Dawn, what do you think I have been doing these days?" In order to divert his attention from his wayward thoughts about his unusual attraction towards boys, he got himself into learning how to hack. "Don't worry about that part. They will never be able to trace me since I am going to cover my tracks in layers and layers of code but," he stopped and looked at her, "what I want to know is what will you do with the information?"

She shrugged. "I don't know. I'll just see what he is up to."

"Let's just ruin him," Cole suggested.

She got up to make coffee for herself. "No, you just get inside. I want to know how he works."

It took Cole the rest of the evening to hack into their website. Dawn's eyes were wide with shock. She only asked to find more about it and her brilliant brother hacked into it so beautifully. "Jesus! You are brilliant! I can't believe that you have hacked into their website!" It was after all a software development company and they looked like idiots in front of his brother.

Cole looked at Dawn in a very condescending way. He put his collars up and said, "I don't like to boast about myself, but yeah, I am awesome." He fanned himself.

Dawn laughed and smacked at the back of his head. "That's what you get for not boasting about yourself."

"This world doesn't appreciate talent!" Cole said and flattened his lips. Then he said with a shine in his eyes, "Do you know what? I have cracked open Jason's inbox too. I hacked into their server."

Dawn sat straight up in her chair. She could feel her heart accelerating. "Geez! Really? I am so going to read that."

"Be my guest!" Cole was so tired that he got up to stretch his legs. "Also who said that they like to play safe?"

"I don't know," Dawn replied and fixed her eyes on the computer.

Cole laughed all his way out.

Taking the opportunity Dawn browsed through Jason's emails and the more she browsed, the more interesting the things became. At the end of it, her mind imagined all the possible scenarios from now on. She had a fluttery feeling in her stomach. This was a gold mine. She called Cole. "Get out of the website. I have read all the information I wanted." Her eyes showed mischievousness.

Cole raised his right eyebrow. "Tell me what you found."

"Nope!" said Dawn, "You are too young!"

In the Silver House Manor, Daryn was getting ready to meet his father. It was 2PM in the afternoon. Yesterday night's events were horrible. He had to talk to his men.

Flashback

Three days back, Daryn was sipping his morning tea with Maya, a routine he had to follow because Caleb and Pia insisted. They would join both of them.

Caleb had been pestering Daryn to marry Maya ever since their engagement because he suspected that Daryn was not at all in favor of the matrimony. In order to get them closer, he would often visit with Pia just to check on the two of them. At the same time Maya was showing her depression to everyone in the society. This was her new tactic to coerce Daryn. Unfortunately, he was getting trapped into it.

A day before, Pia had come to visit them in the evening on the pretext of choosing the style of chairs for the guests for the wedding.

He had come home late and found them sitting in the living room. Maya's face was droopy.

"What is it Maya?" Pia asked a bit louder than normal for him to hear. Pia knew that they were staying in separate rooms.

"It's nothing Pia," she replied, taking a gander at Daryn.

"Then why are you so sad? You should be a happy bride. Your wedding is less than two weeks away," Pia said caressing Maya's back with sympathy.

Maya bit her lip. "Don't worry Pia. I will be fine. It is nothing to be worried about." She took a deep sigh showing her discomfiture.

Pia shot a glance at Daryn as if accusing him of Maya's depression. He scoffed and went upstairs.

Maya held Pia's hand and said, "Pia, really there is nothing wrong. Don't get too worried, okay?" She lowered her eyes to her lap. "I know things will become better…" he voice drawled.

Pia was only more apprehensive. She had to push the family to pressurize Daryn to marry Maya earlier. "You take care," she said.

Maya nodded.

"And let me know if it gets worse."

"I will," Maya whispered.

The next morning Maya had gone to Daryn's office to tell him to accompany her to her father's place for dinner. She saw the female neotide over there. Her chest and stomach burned with jealousy.
