*Author's POV:*
Back in the house, Adrian immediately picked out an outfit from his drawer. Stella, feeling confused, asked, "Master Adrian, I feel better now. Can I go home?" Adrian made a statement and left the room without answering her question. "Wait till I'm back." He went to his other room, changed into his outfit, and gave the butler a warning not to let Stella out of the house until he returned. With that, he left for the Demon Black Gang's technology quarters.
("Demon Black Gang, Technology Quarters")
Everyone was in complete chaos; all the ace hackers couldn't figure anything out. The whole place was in a frenzy. They had no idea their boss was coming – well, not everyone knew him. Only the top executives were aware of his presence. Adrian got through the exclusive entrance and headed directly towards the executive room, which only twenty people had access to – the twelve Imperial Hackers and the eight top Ace Hackers. Ignoring them, Adrian headed to the mainframe in the office and started hacking, one of the things he did best.
Yes, Master Adrian was one of the top hackers in the world, known only by his codename: Devil. There were only three God-level hackers in the world, and you could say he was the best and the most unknown. In the next five minutes, he countered their system and made it seem as if those people had access to their mainframe, but it was a deception. The next moment, a bullet rang out. "I really underestimated you guys," he muttered beneath his breath, and smirked...
*Stella's POV:*
Something wasn't right. Why had Adrian rushed off, leaving me with strict instructions not to leave until he returned? My mom must be worried sick about me. I tried standing up, but a sharp pain shot through my thighs. I sat down, wincing, and let out a loud cry. A maid rushed in, looking nervous.
"I'm fine," I told her, trying to composed myself. "I need a cellphone." The maid looked down, her voice barely above a whisper. "I'm sorry, ma'am. I can't fulfill that request."
"Alright, can I at least get a driver to take me home?" I asked, trying to keep my cool. The maid's response was the same: "I'm sorry, ma'am. I can't fulfill that request."
Frustrated, I cursed under my breath and dismissed the maid with a wave of my hand.
*Author's POV:*
Downstairs, in Adrian's mansion, a stunning woman with elegance and poise sat like a queen on the sofa. Her red, revealing dress and heels added a pop of color to the black and white decor. Her red lipstick seemed to gleam in the light. The butler hurried to attend to her.
"Good morning, Mrs. Gabriella. I'm sorry to inform you that Master Adrian is not home," he said, bowing slightly.
Mrs. Gabriella's expression suggested she wasn't willing to take no for an answer. She indicated she'd wait until Adrian returned. The butler tried to persuade her otherwise, but she wouldn't budge. He thought to himself, "What will happen if she sees the young miss upstairs?" but pushed the thought aside and continued with his duties....
