Hacker for the Billionaire Tech Daddy Chapter 45: Amelia Goes Home
Amelia stared at the mansion knowing she only had a few minutes before someone would open the door. Someone on Alex's security team or Benedict would know that she'd driven in the front gate. Been driven in since she'd caught an Uber. She could have stayed with Kalia, but what would be the point? She belonged here. Even if Alex didn't love her, she felt something for him. Her moment of solace was gone when the front door opened and Benedict stood there. "Miss Cooper. Welcome home."There's that word again. She did feel a certain amount of peace being here. Was that what home meant? "Hello, Benedict."Before she could ask if Alex was home, he appeared in the foyer. Without hesitation, he stepped out onto the stoop and engulfed her in his arms. It wasn't the homecoming she expected. "I missed you and I'm pretty pissed at you," he said on the top of her head. Okay. That was fair. She had ditched the driver, while she was in danger. "I'm sorry."He let her go and Amelia glanced at Ben

Alex had finally convinced Amelia to marry him and he was happier than he'd expected. It would be a simple ceremony at the courthouse. He'd offered her grander things, but she had turned them down. Maybe it was what he liked most about Amelia. She was low maintenance."You look handsome, Daddy," Isabel said from his bedroom door. He thanked the stars that Isabel had been happy when they'd told her they were getting married. "Does this tie look okay with this suit?" Alex asked. Isabel laughed. "It has been years since you asked me that. Yes. It looks nice. Are you nervous?"He shrugged. The fiasco with the Agostinos still weighed on his mind. He'd visited Papa Agostino and asked for him to back off. He hadn't left with any assurances, but he hoped they understood each other. He was never marrying Tory and Amelia was to be left alone. "A little. Is that odd?""Were you nervous when you married my mother?""I was so amazed that your mother was actually going to walk down that aisle. I

Amelia stared at the imposing doors that must have been made of gold. They were shiny and Amelia was afraid if she touched them, she'd leave a mark. Kalia and Isabel flanked her. She felt power in their presence. Amelia had never been to a spa and she hadn't been willing to blaze this trail alone. Alex had agreed to pay for Kalia, too, and when Isabel heard, she invited herself. Amelia was actually glad because Isabel had been to spas her whole life. She would save Amelia from making a faux pas if that was possible at a spa. She'd assumed that spas were places only rich people went and she wasn't one of those. Even with marrying Alex, she didn't think of his money as hers."They are just doors, Amelia."Amelia glanced back at Isabel who stood there flashing a reassuring smile. Kalia nodded as if she was on Team Isabel. Amelia took a deep breath then let it out. "But they are huge.""They aren't as heavy as they look," she said. Amelia looked back at Kalia who shrugged. She wasn't a

When Amelia left the spa she was rejuvenated and ready to see her new husband. After spending hours in bed and taking a long nap, Amelia was tired but mostly refreshed. She woke up to an empty bed. She wasn't worried because she doubted that Alex had gone far. She showered, dressed, and found him in his office. She watched from the doorway as he huddled over his computer. His office was large, but his size made it look small. She couldn't help smiling at the turn her life had taken. Alex looked up at her and smiled. "Hey.""Hey.""You feeling okay?""I'm feeling pretty wonderful," she said. And she was. She finally felt as if she belonged somewhere. Alex motioned her into his office. She walked over and straddled his lap, his arms wrapping around her. "I'm feeling pretty wonderful myself."Even sitting on his lap, he was taller than her. She leaned in and kissed him, the feeling of it curling her toes. How had she landed such a great man? She hadn't even been looking, but here he

The advantage of having money is that you have resources. If you can pay for them, they will be at your beck and call, whether human or object. Add in the fact, that the person in danger had worked briefly for the government which Alex had only just found out and the response was deafening. That was how Alex came to stand outside Agostino's warehouse with federal agents waiting for the signal that it was safe. Henrik, Erik, and Fred had joined Alex. They doubted the federals would need their muscle, but he appreciated their presence anyway. His heart hammered in his chest and he longed for one hour alone with Papa Agostino if he hurt any hairs on Amelia's head. The radios on the agents' belts chattered quietly. It wasn't a calming noise, and Alex wondered if it alerted anyone inside the warehouse to their presence. He'd assumed a surprise attack would be best, but this wasn't a hockey game. This was dangerous and Amelia would be in the line of fire."She'll be fine," Erik said. "The

Amelia slept through the night and the next morning Alex was up and dressed before her. She felt bad since it was supposed to be their second night as a married couple. She'd fallen asleep before he left his shower. "You didn't wake me," Amelia said, stretching."No. You needed your sleep. But we need to go somewhere now. You can sleep more later," he said. There was a twinkle in his eye. He hadn't mentioned a surprise again, but maybe this was it. Was it another spa day? She liked the first one, but still felt guilty. "Where are we going?""You'll see. I've packed for you. I hope that was okay.""I guess. Since I don't know what weather we're packing for then I guess I'm glad you did."Amelia rose and got ready for her day, even if she didn't know what was happening. She trusted Alex and he'd been more attentive than usual since the warehouse. Did he feel guilty? He hadn't done anything to inspire the Agostinos' actions. She had done more to poke that bear. At least she was able to

Amelia had been warned about being a woman at a gamer convention, but she was here to see the latest games and mingle with other white hat hackers. She did her job alone. She did her job on a computer and she interacted online with people, but rarely in person. This was why she dragged herself to this convention in Philadelphia. She lived here so it had been convenient. The bar was noisy at the end of the day with everyone blowing off steam. Men had gathered around various tables, but she chose the bar. She was one of a few women, and they hadn't primped enough to be here yet. She didn't primp, but she thought she looked fine. At least one table of males thought so because they were currently looking at her and then whispering among themselves. Not whispering since she would hear them. "I bet you can't nail her," one mad said. He had the spare tire of a man who sat too much and the pasty white skin of someone who worked, like her, inside all of the time."What can I get you to dr

Amelia's doorbell rang.She hurried to answer it. The conference had been six weeks ago and, in that time, she'd made a new friend. This would be the first time she'd invited Isabel to the monthly girls' night she hosted with her friend Kalia. They were all programmers and stuck together since there were so few women in the industry. She'd met Isabel in a game, her handle being HockeyGrl, which had intrigued Amelia. She'd never been a big sports fan, but she did like hockey. Maybe that was why she'd initially been drawn to the woman who played the same role-playing game as she did. In the game, they'd joined forces and defeated some trolls, so Amelia hadn't been hesitant when she wanted to talk off-game. Her stomach rumbled and she wondered if she ate something odd that day. she didn't think so as she swung open her apartment door. "Hey."Her stomach had a funny fluttery sensation, but she pushed it away. Kalia came in for a hug. "Good to see you, but you look a little pale. Are yo

Amelia wasn't stupid. She knew she was in danger so she hid in the mall bathroom until Kalia came to pick her up. She exited at a different site than she entered. She'd turned off her phone so that Alex couldn't get in touch with her. As far as she was concerned, she'd taken precautions not to get caught.When she looked around and no one was there, she hopped into Kalia's car."I feel like I'm part of a spy movie," Kalia said."Something like that. Thanks for coming for me. I just had to get out.""Anytime girlfriend, but you may not like what I have to say.""We can talk about that later."Amelia kept looking behind them, but she couldn't tell if they were being followed or not. She wasn't good at sneaking around. She'd never been a teenager who went to parties or snuck out of her house. She'd always walked a different road, but it hadn't been in rebellion against her parents. "What are you looking at?"Amelia told Kalia what was going on. "Maybe you should have stayed with Alex. H

"I wish you would just stay at the mansion. It's large enough for all of us," Alex said.It was the third time during their drive to meet a real estate agent to see an apartment. Amelia was done with hearing it. "Stop, Alex."He moved a little closer to her in the back seat. "I'm serious, Amelia. I don't like this.""It isn't yours to like or not. Just because I am carrying your child doesn't mean you get to tell me what to do."They hadn't slept together in days and Amelia had assumed that whatever was between them wasn't going anywhere. It was time for her to figure out her next step. She loved working for his company, but living with him was too much for two people who weren't even in love. Well at least one of them wasn't. She was pretty sure her crush on Alex would remain unrequited. She didn't need to see him every day. "I'm not moving out right now anyway."The threat of the Agostinos still loomed over her head. She wasn't willing to risk herself or the baby to assert her indep

Amelia can't believe the breakthrough she'd made. Henrik is standing over her computer. "You've caught the hacker," he said. The joy she felt in breaking this hacker was dampened by the fact that Hillen Enterprises might not need her anymore. This was her specialty. She wasn't a code monkey. She was a hacker. She wrote code to do specific purposes and it wasn't gaming. Henrik patted her on the shoulder. "You are amazing. Now we can start criminal proceedings.""I haven't actually identified who they are. I've only found their IP address. It's probably hidden behind anonymizers and such.""But you've gotten further than any of us."Amelia nodded but knew there was more to this. Of course, what she'd done was good and it got them closer to discovering who the hacker was. Amelia was excited about what she'd accomplished, but not as excited as Henrik was. "You need to go see Alex. We should celebrate all accomplishments."Amelia shrugged. "I need some fresh air. I'll step out then go
