Chapter 4: Money Making

"It might take awhile, but I'm sure you'll get the hang of high society quickly!" Alyssa said bluntly with an innocent smile

...…..

Madelyn and Rose's smile twitched with hatred. Cynthia was about to lash at her, but Madelyn shot her a murderous glare.

"Why don't you let the maids show you towards your rooms" Jack said to Rose and Cynthia, trying to change the conversation

They nodded happily and exited the room. I stayed quiet and masked my presence.

'I want to give Alyssa the bracelet' I thought

"Come, my love. Let me show you to my room" He put his hand at the base of Madelyn's back and led her out of the room

I stared at him for a second

'He just openly said that she will be sleeping in his room' I glanced at Ceilia and looked at her in approval,' He thinks to highly of himself if he thinks Ceilia will react'

Ceilia has a higher social standing than Jack, and he is the one who married into the family. When Ceilia died he took over her business and exploited it. 

'He fits perfectly with them. All are just as greedy. Why do people always want so much money when they already live so comfortably' I thought honestly confused

I stood from the couch attracting Ceilia and Alyssa's attention. Ceilia was analyzing me while I approached Alyssa. Alyssa smiled when I stood in front of her with my hand holding a small box.

I didn't say anything and kept my hand out till she took it. Alyssa seemed to understand my intentions and took the box. She seemed to be in thought before realization came to her face. She smiled slightly before opening the box. She picked up the silver star bracelet and held it in front of her face. A genuine smile bloomed on her face and she put the bracelet on.

"Thank you! Its lovely" Alyssa exclaimed

I nodded my head in satisfaction and grabbed my luggage, but I was stopped.

"Here, let the maid take your things up to your room" Alyssa suggested taking my luggage and giving it to a nearby maid. 

I nodded my head in thanks at the maid. The maid smiled at me before leaving and I turned to look at Ceilia. She was staring at me with slight appreciation.

The bracelet wasn't expensive or amazing in any way, but it was a genuine gift. That is better than any shallow jewelry.

I bowed to her in respect and she nodded her head in turn.

"Let me show you to your room" Alyssa took my hand and led me upstairs

We walked in silence when we appeared before a door

"Heres your room" She turned to me and grabbed my hand in hers, "Come to me if you need anything" She smiled 

'Why did she give me the bracelet now?' Alyssa thought walking away, 'It's probably just because I changed something' She finished thinking with a shrug

I watched her leave and opened up the bedroom door. It was twice the size of Jasmine's old room and thank god it wasn't pink. It was light grey with white trim throughout and there was a fireplace to the right.. The room was simple, but nice. I walked over to the fireplace and grabbed a lighter that I placed in my pocket. I lit a fire and dumped all my clothes into it. I watched as the flames consumed the hellish pink and a satisfied gleam passed through my eyes.

Don't get me wrong. Pink isn't a bad color, but the style of the clothes and the brightness of it was horrendous.

Since I just burned all my luggage I don't have anything to unpack.

'I should go shopping, but I don't want to interact with my family' I turned towards a large glass door that leads to a balcony.

 I walked out onto the balcony and peered over the edge. I was on the second story so the drop was dangerous with this body, but luckily there was a tree not too far away. I backed up and made a run for the tree. I put one foot on the railing and pushed off with all my strength and reached out and grabbed a branch of the tree. I followed the momentum and swung upside down and landed gracefully on top of the branch. 

'I don't want anyone to know I left' I thought to myself and looked around for an exit

Across the yard is a wall with rocks slightly out of it. I quickly climbed down the tree and masked my presence as I made my way towards the wall.

The wall was about seven feet tall. I grabbed the stones sticking out and climbed expertly to the top. I jumped down the other side and landed in a crouch before standing straight. In Front of me was a road leading to the city.

'Better start walking ' I thought walking on the sidewalk

Timeskip

I reached the city and looked for an internet cafe.

'I need money, and the fastest way is doing jobs on the dark web' I made my way through the crowded streets

I bumped into a random stranger and pocketed their wallet.

"Hey! Watch where you're going bitch" He said angrily before storming off

I didn't give him any attention and continued walking. During that short encounter I stole some money and gave his wallet back.

' Need money for the cafe'

I don't care if what I'm doing is bad. I have done illegal things my entire life. This is nothing new, and I can't just suddenly become a good citizen after years and years of this life engraved into my body.

I finally found an internet cafe and entered. I made my way to the front desk and gave her the money I stole.

The lady at the desk looked at the money.

"You have 3 hours" She said kindly

I nodded my head and made my way all the way to the back. I logged into the computer and hacked my way into the dark web. 

I was thinking about what my name would be

'I could just use my code from my previous life. I'm never gonna be rid of that name no matter what I do' I thought simply while putting in my info 

Name: 001

Info: Will do any hacking job I want to accept

'It's not a lot of information, but whoever is curious enough to try me out will be the lucky winner' I thought internally smirking

I waited for 20 minutes before someone took the bait

I clicked the the file for the job

'They want me to hack their girlfriends phone to see if she's cheating? Seriously. *sigh* whatever. Must be someone rich because they are willing to give $20,000 for something so simple. Rich people and throwing money away' I thought annoyed

I accepted the request and hacked into the girl's phone. It seems she has been texting some guy named chad.

....

*sigh*

I continued and in less than a minute had a whole file of money spent, texts, photos, and hotel videos. I sent the file to the customer and waited.

*ding*

I checked my phone and $20,000 was deposited into my separate bank account I made.

I checked my page and there was a comment.

-This hacker is amazing, I had an entire folder of evidence in less than 2 minutes. Legit!

I tilted my head in satisfaction. After that comment I waited for another 10 minutes before a couple requests came in. I quickly finished them and received over $200,000. The comments on my page were full of praise for my skills.

'I'm done. This is enough money for clothes, necessities, and art supplies'; I thought wiping any existence of me being here before getting up and heading to the mall
