The Hacker Heiress: Too Late For Regret
“For fifteen years, Aria hid her true identity as the world's most elite hacker, living a quiet, impoverished life just to care for her frail adoptive grandmother. Then, her wealthy biological family suddenly showed up at her peeling front door. They didn't come out of love. They wanted to drag her back to New York to save their failing corporation and appease a depressed father she had never known. Her aunt and uncle looked at her cheap clothes with blatant disgust, calling her rude and uncouth behind her back. Worse, their arrival shattered her peaceful sanctuary. Her grandmother, feeling like a burden, cried and begged Aria to leave with them. In the chaos, greedy relatives took advantage of the situation to steal her grandmother's life-saving, priceless medicine, leaving the old woman gasping for air on her deathbed. Aria watched her grandmother suffer, her heart burning with a glacial fury. She couldn't understand why these arrogant strangers thought they could just buy her compliance, or why human greed always had to destroy the only pure things in her life. "I'll go to New York," Aria told them calmly. But as the luxury sedan sped toward Manhattan, she secretly reactivated her dark web terminal, bringing a global intelligence network back online. They thought they were bringing home a submissive, uneducated girl to use as a pawn. They had no idea they had just invited their worst nightmare into their empire.”
