Day Seven…
~~*****~~
[ At Aiden's Private Villa… ]
Cherry borrowed Aiden's desktop in his study room. Not suspecting Cherry's motive, Aiden let her use his computer, leaving her alone.
Aiden was busy in the kitchen. He was giving orders to Chef Solmi, enumerating the food Cherry wanted to eat for lunch.
The chef was done cooking the main course. The only food she had to prepare was their desserts.
His butler also arrived after buying clothes for his special guest, Cherry.
"Master, are you okay? You look tired. You have dark circles under your eyes." Butler Izekiel mumbled, worrying about his master.
Aiden was not able to sleep well last night as he kept thinking about the scene he accidentally witnessed inside Cherry's bathroom. He couldn't forget what he saw.
When he was able to control his lust, he remembered that he saw some marks on Cherry's naked body. A mark telling him that Cherry underwent a major operation before.
And what was on her shoulder? The scar looked like something she received from a bullet. He wasn't able to sleep just thinking about how Cherry received those marks and scars.
He couldn't ask her because they were not yet close enough for Cherry to share something personal and confidential with him.
But one thing was for sure. Cherry had lived a dangerous life. He thought that she kept attracting dangers. Last night, she was being chased by human traffickers.
"Sigh." Aiden took a deep sigh. "I'm just fine, Kiel. I just need proper sleep."
Butler Izekiel nodded his head.
"Bring those clothes to the guest room. She might change into them later." Aiden let her use his oversize shirt and sweatpants last night. And he was glad to see her wearing his clothes. She just looked simply pretty no matter what she wore.
While Aiden was busy preparing everything for Cherry, the woman was currently using his computer to hack one of the Syphiruz's servers.
She was almost finished breaking the last defense when suddenly another program blocked her.
"Fuck! What is this?!" Cherry cursed when something appeared on her screen.
Several codes kept popping on her screen until they formed a shape… a human shape of a girl. To her surprise, she heard a feminine voice coming from her screen.
"This is GAA, who are you? Why are you trying to hack our former master's server?! I will give you ten seconds to answer, otherwise, I will set your computer to self-destruct!" GingerAllieAnne warned Cherry.
'What? Don't tell me… this is an AI. I am fighting an AI? Not a human!' Cherry was amused by this situation.
"Ten…"
"Nine…"
"Eight…"
GingerAllieAnne began her countdown.
"Damn! I can't let her destroy this computer or else, he would suspect me," Cherry murmured as she thought about Aiden's reaction once his computer got destroyed because of her.
Cherry began typing again, trying to counter GAA. She needed to erase her trail and delete her IP address even before GingerAllieAnne could locate her location through Aiden's IP address.
She had to lure her and pin another location. As her fingers continued to work, GingerAllieAnne's countdown reached the last Five seconds warning.
"Who are you?" GGA hologram asked her again for one last time.
"Five…"
"Four…"
"Damn! She is serious as hell about destroying this computer!"
"Three…"
"Two…"
Without time to spare, Cherry finally voiced out a certain name. "SizzlingAugust08!"
GingerAllieAnne stopped the countdown at the mention of that username– SizzlingAugust08. She had heard of this name. And she was very familiar with this user.
When GingerAllieAnne stopped and processed the information she received from Cherry, she grabbed this opportunity to put a strong defense on Aiden's computer. Then she shut it down right away.
"Wait–" GAA still wanted to talk to her about SizzlingAugust08 when Cherry turned off the computer.
"Whoa! I almost got busted by an AI!" Cherry held her chest, panting. This was the first time she encountered her.
"Damn! I'm sorry SizzlingAugust. I have to use you as my shield to save my ass. I can't reveal to the Syphiruz Mafia that Black Rose is alive!"
SizzlingAugust08 was also an infamous hacker. He was the master of all hackers during his time. But he suddenly disappeared thirteen years ago.
According to Phantomflake, SizzlingAugust08 was her first friend. He was the one who taught her hacking skills. In other words, SizzlingAugust08 was also a genius and aside from being her friend, he was Phantomflake's mentor.
Phantomflake had never seen his face. They only talked through their chats and messenger. Just one day, SizzlingAugust08 stopped communicating with Phantomflake. She wondered if something wrong had happened to him.
They were still young at that time. So Phantomflake didn't have the capability to look for her friend. Someone speculated that SizzlingAugust08 was captured by the policemen or he died. But nothing confirmed it.

Meanwhile, back to Sparks Mansion, GingerAllieAnne reappeared after she was done dealing with the hacker. Ethan and Old Man Xu were already inside the playroom. Abigail called him when GAA informed them about the hackers.
Old Man Xu requested Abigail to leave the room. He could tell that this attack had something to do with the Syphiruz. Abigail didn't have to know this confidential information.
"How is it? Did you catch the hacker? What is his IP address?" Old Man Xu asked GingerAllieAnne.
Ethan was also there listening to them. He was too young to know about the Syphiruz Operation. He had no idea about it.
GingerAllieAnne glanced at Old Man Xu. She recognized him as the former leader of the Syphiruz Mafia and Nathan's father.
"Master Xu! The hacker said she is SizzlingAugust08. That username was Former Master Nathan, right?"
Old Man Xu's eyes widened when he heard that. How did this hacker know Nathan's username before? And why the hell did this hacker use Nathan's username?
Nathan already deleted that account thirteen years ago. And only a few people knew about Nathan's hacker name.
"Can you find out more about this hacker?" Old Man Xu asked her.
But GingerAllieAnne shook her head. "She escaped. She is a great hacker. She stopped me from tracking her IP address."
