Chapter 5: Breaking in, Cashing out.
Ethan spent days studying Landon’s bank account, finding weak points in the system. He discovered that Landon's bank used a two_ step security system password and a verification code sent to Landon's phone.
Evan, on the other hand, built a special device that could intercept messages sent to Landon's phone without alerting him.
Ella, worked on an Al program that would cover their tracks by making it look like Landon himself had approved the transaction.
Every detail was planned. There was no room for errors.
Ethan believes they could do this. He knew who they were.
They were the geniuses of their school. They were so good with technology that even their teachers were afraid of them. The student were jealous of their intelligence
Ethan believes they were gifted with talent from birth.
Ethan, the eldest of the triplets, had a natural gift for hacking. What started as fun quickly evolved into an unparalleled skill. By twelve he could bypass firewalls and security systems that even professional hackers struggle with.
EVAN: The second_born was gifted with the gift of inventing things. He had an unmatched knack for building things, while Ethan focused more on hacking.
ELLA: The youngest, had a mind for artificial intelligence. While her brothers focused on hacking and hardware. She coded an intelligent program capable of adapting and learning.
That night, they all gathered around.
“We can do this!” Ethan, the elder one reassured them , holding their hands.
“Please remember, we need this to be successful,” Ella said, staring at Evan , who blinked his eyes innocently at them.
“What?” he blurted out.
“Don't let us down.” Ethan said firmly.
Ethan gathered their laptops around and booted them up.
They proceeded with the first step.
Ethan cracked the first security layer, bypassing the password with ease.
“Firewall’s down,” he muttered, "next step.”
Ethan's device intercepted the verification code from the Landon's phone and sent it to their system. Ella's Al tricked the bank into thinking Landon had entered it himself.
They were in. Easy and peasy.
The triplets gasped in shock as they saw the balance in Landon's account.
“This man is so damn fucking rich!” Ella exclaimed, her eyes lighting up.
“We should change the plan,” Ella suggested and the boys rolled their eyes at her.
“No, no Ella! We are only taking twenty million dollars,” Ethan disagreed.
“Okay, fine!”
They split the money into smaller transfers, routing it through different accounts. Each transfer looked like a normal business transactions, a charity donation, or an investment.
Finally, the money reached an account only their mother could access.
Ella's Al activated, replacing transactions records with fake ones. To the bank, it would look like Landon had approved the payment himself.
Even set up a time_ delay program that would erase all the traces of their hack in one hour. Ethan ran a final check up before logging out.
“We did it!” Evan exclaimed joyfully, he was so happy they persuaded him into doing this. At least their mother wouldn't have to work for a year or two. They believed the Money would be enough to cover some bills through those years.
“We should keep this a secret!” Evan suggested, in the midst of their celebrations.
Ethan and Ella thought about his words and finally understood where he was coming from.
“You are right!” Ella added.
“Mother would freak out if she finds out. I doubt if she will even support us in this.” Ethan responded with a worried tone. He hadn't thought about the consequences before doing it.
“Evan, Ella, he called out their names. His tone portrays worry. “No matter what happens, mother must never know what we have done. ”
he shrugged at them, but his gaze was mostly fixed on Ella.
“What?!!” Ella snapped at the two of them, knowing they suspected she will tell on them.
“Trust me, since I'm in support of this, mother won't hear the truth from me.” She assured them and their mind calmed down instantly.

“Your account has been credited with the sum of twenty million dollars.”
Avery was at work when she received the notification. she had never such amount in her life.
She lost her appetite for going to her second job immediately and turned back to board a cab.
She wasn't dreaming. Her account had Indeed been credited with the sum of twenty million dollars.
Avery waited for minutes, hours, day, hoping a strange number would call to tell he the money was a mistake, so she could return it and maybe receive a small compensation _ perhaps $1,000 to $20,000 for being honest.
But none of that happened.
Avery waited for days, expecting the bank to call her about the money but nothing happened.
Avery finally accepted her fate. Perhaps one of her clients must have gifted her that money but chose to remain anonymous.
Ten days later, Avery decided to call the triplets and inform them of the good news.
****
The triplets were suddenly bothered since their mother had never mentioned the money. They thought she hadn't received it until one evening she called all of them out. Putting them in suspense and anticipation, they hoped she had called them because of the money.
“Ethan, Evan, and Ella!” She called their names excitedly.
Ella studies her mother's tone and notice something different. She sounded joyful. She sounded happy.
“I have wonderful news to tell you all!” She giggled, her gap teeth showing. The triplets exchange glances with each other and smile.
“Ten days ago, I received the sum of twenty million dollars in my account,” she exclaimed and the triplets flinched in surprise.
“Congratulations, mother. We are rich. It's as if the universe knew what we were lacking.” Ella murmured and the boys turned to look at her. They were afraid her statement would trigger their mother, but unfortunately it didn't.
“Exactly! Get ready, we're going shopping tomorrow!” The triplets scream in joy and jump around.
Ethan was glad he did this. At least it stopped his mother from working for the past ten days. The triplets were all happy they had been able to help the mother for the first time in their lives.
“To celebrate this, I'm going to make you'all favourite dishes!!”
*****”
In a well_ furnished, enormous, sterile office, A man in a luxurious black suit sat in an office chair, his legs crossed.
He was so engrossed in his computer that he didn't notice the footsteps of his P. A, Owen, entering the room.
“Sir!”
Landon flinched at the voice familiar screaming his name.
when he raised his head, he was met with the terrified Face of his P. A.
Owen body was shaking.
The horrified look on his face answered Landon’s unspoken question. The reason he must have had the nerves and audacity to scream at him earlier. Something terrible had happened.
“Speak up!” Landon demanded , removing his gaze from Owen and focusing on his screen again.
“Si… sir!” Owen stuttered, “so…. Some…. Something horrific happened!” his stammering made Landon's skin crawl in anger.
“Get the hell out, you dummy.” Landon yelled at him, his eyes flaring in anger.
He hated it when his workers pull this act whenever they want to make a bad report to him. He hated suspense more than anything.
“I said, get the f…
“Someone hacked the company account and stole Twenty million dollars.” Owen interrupted him before he could complete his statement.
“Hilarious!” Landon laughed out loudly, as if he had just heard the funniest joke in the world.
“Someone?” Landon repeated. finding the whole scenario to be funny. “Who the hell has the nerves and audacity to hack my business account?”
“And this happened ten days ago ,sir. I'm so sorry I didn't notice it sooner,” Owen apologised, his head bowed in obeisance, knowing his job was at risk right now.
With just a mood, Landon can fire him. With just one words, he will be gone.
“ which son of a motherfucking bitch dared hack my account?”
He yelled,then, he laughed loudly again _ like a man who had just lost his mind.
Perhaps, he did l
ost his mind because he had been too merciful toward these criminals. He vow to wipe out the generation of whoever that was behind this.
Chapter 6: A Dangerous Game. “Do you have any idea who must be behind this?” Landon questioned his P. A, who had been standing in one position, awaiting his boss' command and instructions. “No, sir!” He replied politely, getting Landon furious with such a response. Landon can't seem to wrap his head around the whole thing. He couldn't seem to fathom out who must have hacked his account. Landon knew every good cyber security expert in this country, and he wasn't sure they could do this to him. They were familiar with him and respected him greatly. If they were really behind this, he believed they would have made away with a much larger sum of money. “Think, Owen. Do you know any upcoming cyber security? Probably someone who's good with technology?” Landon questioned him again, determined to catch the culprit today and teach them a lesson. “ I'm not really sure, but I heard there's this triplets attending your school, they're good with technology. What if someone made plans with
Chapter 7: “Even if what you're saying is true, you're not the mother of the triplets, The triplets are our children. You were just a surrogate mother.” Gianna said, with a shaking breath. *Nope! You got it all wrong! Avery stops walking around her and station herself in one place. Now it's time to break the unpleasant news, which might send waves of electricity into her body, thereby resulting in fainting. “Remember, we were to do gestational surrogacy, but unfortunately, your genetics weren't compatible with him, and if the doctor had proceeded with it, it would have led to a fall operation. So the doctor requested we did a traditional surrogacy, where my egg was used with your husband sperms, which means the triplets are fucking mine”, she said with a contempt. “And the child you claim you have today, belongs to another man.” She added. Gianna felt a heavy wave in her chest, a sinking feeling overwhelming her. Her whole body shuts down for some seconds and later starts fu
Chapter 8: A web Of Lies Gianna sighed deeply as she stepped out of the car and headed straight to the house. It was already late. She had spent almost the entire day with Ranon, her baby father. Enjoying a romantic time with him. Gianna froze when she saw her husband seated in the sitting room. She had no idea someone was there. “Where are you coming from?” Landon questions his tone with a whisper. He was calm, which reassured Gianna that he hadn't suspected anything. “That's strange and sudden. Are you now interested in my daily affairs?” Gianna was concerned, even though they were a married couple and he had the right to ask her about her whereabouts, it still felt strange to her. All those years of marriage, he had never once cared about her. “I am your husband. Of course ,I have every right to know your daily affairs!” He shrugged at her. His tone was calm and soothing. Which was unlike him. Landon looked at her and shook his head in disappointment. “If you're tire
Chapter 9 : Seduction And Silence A wave of dread washed over her as the triplets walked towards her. “Good morning, ma'am!” The triplets all greeted in unison, wondering why the woman had called them. “How can we help you?” Ella shrugged at the woman, her voice firm and steady. They had never been on Good terms with her son, so why had she called them? Gianna lost control of herself immediately, she couldn't breathe. She felt suffocated by the sight of the triplets. She was speechless. Their pointed noses, their eyes, everything_ it was the same as Landon, her husband. Gianna forced herself to regain composure, letting out a fake smile before facing them. “That's right!” She murmured with a smile, running her hand through Ella's hair. “Luke actually reported something to me “ Their faces change immediately, shifting from their normal expression to one of disdain “That we bullied him?” Evan questioned and Gianna nodded her head. “But I'm not here to scold any of you.
Chapter 10_ His step brother Every day, Landon regretted his decision. He regretted being used by his father for his own selfish gains. If everything had not been based on an arranged marriage, he would never have married Gianna, a woman for whom he felt absolutely nothing. He had thought that perhaps, with time, he would grow to like her, but that had never happened. Her character was simply unbearable. It irritated him to no end and made him regret his choice even more. But could he really be to blame? He had been just a twenty three years old young man when he had been forced to make such life altering decisions. If he had been older and wiser then, he would not have allowed his family to influence him into making such a terrible mistake by marrying Gianna. Even after twelve years, he still did not truly know the kind of person Gianna was. ****** Landon studied her movements carefully and could see how terrified she was. Her entire body trembled tremendously. He coul
Chapter 11: Diary of a chef In the small portable dinner table, Omelette was served on the table, and there seated four figures. Avery and the triplets. “Can't believe we're finally eating this again.” Ella exclaimed happily. Because she could during the time her mother was broke , she hardly makes omelette and even if she does, there's no meat, neither chicken. It was always eggs, fried with butter and with vegetables. But today, the story was different .Assuming they didn't make that decision that day, they would have still been living in poverty. Ella was glad Ethan came up with that thought. And she was grateful they were geniuses if not it wouldn't have been possible. “Ummm, this is so sweet!” Evan exclaimed, sipping the glass of juice in his mouth. “Mother, you are the best chef ever!” Ethan compliments, munching more of the omelette in his mouth. Ella's mood changed abruptly the moment a thought came to her mind. There's no way she wouldn't tell her mother about this one.
Chapter 12: Encounter Anora, Smith's wife who was walking by at that moment happened to hear the sound screams of her girlfriend who seems to have been hit with something for her to shout like that. She traced the sounds, which led her to the kitchen where she witnessed a stranger pulling the ear of her girlfriend. She didn't even ask what happened before pushing Avery away. Her skin crawled in anger when she realized who Avery was. She was an ordinary chef, also a commoner who had no right to do what she just did. “I will kill you alive!!” Gianna wasn't satisfied. She wanted to beat Avery to death right now and right here. She couldn't tolerate the disrespect she just showed her. Gianna pushed Avery around the kitchen and when Avery noticed she might break one or two things in the process of running away from Gianna, she decided to stop running and face Gianna. Perhaps this is the time for her to repay Gianna back for all the suffering she made her pass through. Anora on the ot
Chapter 13: Behind close doors Gianna was grateful for knowing Anora. She was the type of friend one would wish to have. Just imagine how she saved her by pretending to faint and pulling everyone's attention right away. She probably owns Anora for what she just did for her. It's only a true friend that could pull through for you in a state like this. Anora was taken to the living room and in the next few minutes, the doctor arrived. And fortunately, she was all alone with Gianna by the time he came. So they were able to bribe him into giving a fake Report. The topic they were discussing before quickly dies away the moment Anora was taken away. They were all seated in panic, patiently waiting for the doctor's report to know what was wrong with her. Some minutes later, the doctor walked in with her. “How's she a doctor?” Three different voices asked at the same time. “Fortunately, it's nothing serious. She was just stressed and…..” he paused his speech, trying to take a breath b
Chapter 15: Gianna's Fate “!!” She called with a fainter voice. Her spirits leave her body. “Ranon, are you there?” Her voice was shaking, her hands trembling together as she struggled to carry her child who was crying. He was hungry. Gianna was devastated, frustrated and tired of everything that had been happening to her. She's not certain she would be able to handle these two heartbreaks from them. She can't just lose the two important people in her life at once. “Ranon, please talk to me!!” She pleaded with a whimpering sound. Her nose is running with mucus. “ Seems like you're really dumb like she said.” Ranon's voice finally echoes from the phone, after a while of him being silent. “Can't you see I don't want to talk to you? What the fuck is your problem?” Ranon bellowed at her through the phone, scolding her like a child. “Please, I just want your house key. I need to prepare something for me and your son. I am famished. I just need somewhere to rest my head…. “Unfortu
Chapter 14: Gianna crisis Hayley knew her friendship was at risk right now and she would do anything just to save it. She wouldn't want to lose her high school friends all because of a mistake made by her husband, so she would do anything just to keep the friendship. “Gianna please, it's not what you think.” Hayley knows she needs to explain more things to her and make her understand before she walks away right now. She tries to touch her but Gianna doesn't agree. She gave her this dangerous disgusting irritating look. “Don't fucking lay your hands on me again. Hayley!!” Gianna blurted at her, her tone laced with seriousness. “You had the option to make your husband save my reputation by not telling my own side of the story but you didn't. So don't talk to me. Gianna let out those words with a murmur. She wouldn't want others to hear the last words she just spoke. “Our friendship ends here. Don't ever fucking call my line.” Gianna uttered, she stood up, attempting to walk away
