Out Of Your League: The Hacker Boss

“I liquidated my life savings and spent three years in a dark bunker, using my hacking genius to build an untouchable criminal empire for the Capo I loved. But the moment his throne was secure, he erased my name from the Syndicate ledgers and brought home a mafia princess to be his Queen. He publicly humiliated me to elevate her, dismissing my heartbreak as a pathetic civilian tantrum. He even ordered me to use the offshore accounts I had funded to buy her a three-hundred-thousand-dollar blood diamond engagement ring. When he finally cooked a lavish dinner in our safehouse, he covered the plates in fresh truffles. "Then do not eat it. Just stay out of the way when she gets here." He had perfectly memorized the elite tastes of a woman he barely knew, but conveniently forgot the one ingredient that would send me into fatal anaphylactic shock. I had sacrificed my sanity and ignored my dying father to secure his territories. I finally realized he never kept me in the shadows to protect me. He hid me because he was terrified of my brilliance, caging my mind so he could steal my victories and replace me. So, I initiated a master kill-switch, wiping every trace of my existence from his servers. I packed my bags, invoked my own Omertà, and walked out. Since he refused to give me the throne he promised, I would just have to step into the light and conquer the underworld myself.”
