《The prodigal son》


 Dream on

    Prins Alexander knew in the dark web as luxuria. Alexander is the founder of the hacker group, Deadly sins.


    Is also the son of Ivanov Prins, CEO of Prins group, a company that deals with anything is technology-related.


    Alexander is also known as an incompetent son. Because he doesn''t want to take over the business he has not even shown the interested in doing it.


    He didn''t attend any meeting with future leaders, a place where future leaders of the most important companies, share the same young business spirit and same code of life.


    A meeting full of people who think themselves superior to others, in Alexander''s opinion.


    In a simple room that looks like a 15-year-old boy, Alexander woke up after a long sleep in a visibly small bed for him.


    - Everything seemed, so real.No. It wasn''t a dream.


    Alexander did not know what had happened.


    In the dream, Alexander recalled that his father had called him back to the parent''s house to discuss something. As if now.


    He was away from home, for five years.


    In his dream, his father asked him to go on a date with a woman who was the daughter of Morgan Walters, a significant businessman in the country.


    Morgan has business in all areas, all of which are successful. Less in technology. There Ivanov held power.


    Alexander in the dream refused because he was in love with Anna. His childhood friend.


    But from there, started going even worse.


    Alexander confessed his feelings for Anna on that day.


    But later, to find out that she did it only to make sure, that he didn''t get in good terms with his dad.


    After three years his father was unable to maintain power over the company''s associations. So he lost the company. The one who won it was Dominique Walters son of Morgan Walters.


    Alexander though he is a Hecker did not observe Anna. But she became more and more distant. So Alexander wanted to find out why. So she saw the messages between her and Dominique Walters.


    Anna accepted for the sake of love for Dominique to be with him. Everything to get his father''s company.


    After three years, Anna left him, to become Dominique''s wife.


    Lost in thoughts, Alexander heard a voice.


    -Young Master, dinner is ready.


    Alexander descended the scales, in front of a big table was his father.The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.


    Usually, Alexander stood at the opposite end of the table but when he saw his father had a strange feeling. He took the chair and moved him closer to his father.


    Ivanov was pleasantly surprised. As he kept his expression, he asked the servants to move the plates.


    -Alexander has something important to discuss with you.


    When he heard his father''s words, Alexander had a feeling of D¨¦j¨¤ Vu. They were the same words as in the dream.


    Alexander understood that it wasn''t a dream. They were his memories.


    -You''re 20 years old son. Ivanov continued


    Alexander was already convinced. They were the same words, same expression.


    - I talked to a good friend. He has a daughter. All I ask is to meet her. I know you have someone in your heart. But I do not think she is the one for you.


    Alexander understood now. He was convinced. What was stranger, was how it did not feel annoyed. He loved Anna a few hours ago. But now all she felt, was disgust when she thought about it.it.


    Ivanov was the most surprised. Alexander was different today.


    Alexander was not sure that his dream is real, yet it''s quite easy to find out.


    He was a hacker. Nobody knew about it. Not even in the second life.


    He had to do what, he did in the dream.


    One thing was clear the feelings for Anna, doesn''t exist anymore.


    - So, Alexander, are you going to meet her?


    When he heard his father, Alexander look for information in his head.


    Ingrid Walters.


    In his dream, she had an even worse life than he did.


    Her brother won the company. She is the daughter of her second wife.


    Morgan Walters married her just because she was pregnant.


    Later, Alexander used his skills to find out the full story. So he knows a lot about the entire Walters family. Even what they will do.


    Ingrid agreed to marry because her father promised her that she would take over the media company of the Walters group. That meant she would be equal to his brother.


    Morgan Walters wasn''t interested in his daughter. He was using her to win Prins group, as quickly as possible.


    When Alexander refused to meet her, Morgan Walters was disappointed. She was more of an excuse to be separated from family.


    Although she was very talented, her brother made sure she would not succeed.


    -Of course, Dad. Organize a meeting. I would prefer, a French restaurant.


    -You hate your pretentious food.


    Ivanov did not know if his son was sick. His answer is unexpected.


    -I still do it.


    Alexander chose a French restaurant because they were Ingrid''s favorite.


    He wanted to be in a familiar environment for his plan.


    Ivanov wanted to ask questions, but Alexander didn''t seem to want to give answers.


    In the dream, he had many plans. But in all, he eventually got to jail.


    He needed somebody inside.


    When Alexander finished his dinner, he looked at his father in the eye.


    -Dad, do you think I can borrow David for a few days?


    David was Ivanov''s, personal assistant. In the dream was the only person who remained ''s loyal to his family. Many chose to leave, but he stayed.


    Alexander needed a man to help. Asking David meant Alexander was ready to get involved in the business.


    If Alexander did not have the dream, he had no way to know. After three years, Alexander tried to save what his father had created. David taught him much. But it wasn''t enough.


    When Ivanov heard Alexander''s words, he could not believe what he was hearing.


    -I''ll talk to him.


    -Thank you.


    Today was the day when Alexander talked the most with his father. They were usually arguing. But now they looked like a family.


    Ivanov could not see what led to the change of his son.

 Palace

    After dinner, Alexander waited in the guest room, after 10 minutes a 40-year-old man with brown hair, approaches Alexander.


    -Young Master is a pleasant surprise. I understand you need my services.


    This man was David


    -Ah. David, how long has it been since I saw you the last time?


    -Five years, sir.


    David, it hasn''t changed at all. And he will not do it. Five years ago he wasn''t at all close to David. He thought his personality was too strange, but in his dream, he knew his character was the best part about him.


    - You seem to be stuck with me for some time.


    David answered, with a long smile on his lips:


    -Of course, sir.


    David was surprised by Alexander. Five years ago he was an arrogant boy who thought he had the world at his feet. Now he looks like a man with his head on his shoulders.


    David was responsible for the supervision of Alexander, but he could not do anything. The boy disappeared. Apart from a phone number, there was nothing to go to him. He was always curious about how he could do that. David was a professional, but he still could not find out where he was hiding, even in secret intelligence, wasn''t so difficult.


    Looking at him he could see small differences. When he left, he was a weak boy. Now through the T-shirt, you can see the muscle. He''s an adult now.


    -Oh. David brings the keys for the car.


    -Yes, I will call the driver.


    -David, the place we go to is not for everyone. Brings the keys, you drive.


    Although it was weird, David did conform.


    After half an hour of driving according to Alexander''s information, they arrived at a simple, small house. In a quiet neighborhood.


    -Good. Come in.


    After they entered, they gave a hallway there was a metal box.


    - Put your phone and the watch here.


    David was accustomed to such a box what he didn''t know is why Alexander needed one.


    When David saw the interior of the house, was impressed.


    What seemed like a family house, actually is a headquarters. He hasn''t seen one since he was working on the intelligence service.


    Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere. There were many rooms. But in the free zone, there were visible last generation monitors and computers.


    On a monitor, was surveillance cameras on family home are accessed. On others, were from the company.


    He didn''t want to get involved, that does not mean he wants his father to fail. That is true, with and without his dream. So he kept an eye on them.


    Alexander saw David''s expression. In the dream, he had the same expression.


    Alexander was proud of his home. He spent a lot of time and effort doing it like that.


    David was in front of the screen showing the rooms in the parent''s house.


    Alexander approached him and with a serious face:


    - Your security is shit.


    -Pardon?


    -I said your security is shit. A 10-year-old child of today can get in there. You''d better fire the guy who is in charge. I''ll take care of it from now on.


    -I''ll make the arrangements.


    David did not oppose. He was visibly impressed.


    Alexander let David look around. Alexander thought David looked like a child when he walked everywhere. No. A dog.


    He headed for the office and pulled out a sheet and started writing. When he finished, he returned to David.


    -I need suits. These are my dimensions. Buy many and best quality. I have none.


    -Yes, sir.


    Alexander was not a fan of suits, but they were necessary if he what to be respected. If you don''t wear one and you go to fancy places the world will look down on you. Alexander was disgusted when he was thinking of those fancy places.


    - You want something to drink David.


    -Water.


    Alexander nodded, giving him a glass of water.


    David continued to stare at Alexander for a while. That made him feel uncomfortable.


    -If you have something to say. Say it.


    -What is this place?


    -I call this place, the Palace. I spent four years of my life here. It is divided, into several areas. It will give your password to the areas where you can enter.


    David did not say anything but just nodded.


    Seeing David had nothing to object to, he continued.


    -I need information about the company''s associates. Everything you can find out about them. Send on the email, is on paper.


    Alexander could have done this alone. Probably more productive than David, but his information will help him do his job easier.


    He will check Anna while David does his job.


    Save time.


    -I will prepare a report for you.


    Alexander was in front of the computer just waving his hand at David who showed him he could do the job.


    That was David. A person who follows orders without question. If he didn''t have the dream, he wouldn''t know why a man would choose to do that.


    With David gone, Alexander entered all of Anna''s private life. It was not hard for him to do that.


    After 30 minutes, had access to everything Anna means. PC, phone, bank account.


    When he looked through the messages, he received confirmation that his dream was real.


    Anna had many messages and calls from an unknown number. In the dream, he spent much effort in reaching the person at the end of the phone.


    They were sweets messages. Sexually messages. There were messages with details of the plan.


    Anna was a good actor or was it too blinded by his love for her?


    The bank account had an impressive amount for a designer at the beginning of the career.


    Alexander left Ana aside because he received David''s report by mail.


    There are five major shareholders, with his father having control of the company.


    Alexander planned to take the place of four shareholders. Of course, they will not want to give their share of the business. But they all have weaknesses.


    After five minutes Alexander was disturbed by the sound of the phone.


    -The meeting with Mrs. Ingrid Walters will take place tomorrow. I sent the location and the hour via an SMS.


    I bought the suits, where I leave them?


    - At Palace. Thank you, David.


    [Who''s Using SMS?]

 How to get a wife?

    Eight o''clock in the evening. In front of the closet, Alexander looks at the suits. He said he would never wear a suit.


    Never say never.


    After dressing one, he looked into the mirror.


    Looks good in a suit, felt good in him. The outfit changed him from a college boy to a successful businessman.


    Alexander didn''t have much time to analyze as a beating at the door interrupted him.


    - Sir, if we do not leave now, we''ll be late.


    -Yes, Yes.


    After a 35-minute of driving, Alexander and David arrived at the restaurant.


    [Who will delay, I''m 25 minutes early]


    When he entered, he noticed there was no one in the restaurant. A beautiful lady elegant dressed, approaching Alexander.


    -Alexander Prins?


    -Yes.


    - This way, sir.


    The lady led the way. In a room was only a table there was a woman, sitting with the menu in her hand.


    The woman was a beauty, long black hair, a pair of blue eyes. Long legs, an extraordinary bust but what was most remarkable was the woman''s gestures. Anyway, you looked, it seemed like a princess in modern times.


    The way she keeps the posture looks perfectly natural.


    [I hate when David is right.]


    Although the expression of the face did not change, Alexander was nervous.


    He was not accustomed to this type of woman.


    Alexander was not good at mimicking expressions, but it was good to hide them.


    With an inexpressive look, he approached the table at which the woman was sitting.


    -Nice to meet you. I heard a lot about you, Miss Walters.


    -I did not hear anything about you, Mr. Prins.


    -Mr. Prins is my father. Alexander is fine with me. And if you want to know something you have to ask.


    Alexander said as he sat at the table.


    - Then, Alexander, you can call me Ingrid, it''s simpler that way.


    Alexander nodded, as he said:


    -I would be better to order the food.


    Ingrid just nodded. After a few moments, the food came.


    Alexander could see that she was not thrilled to be at an arranged date, so he decided to get straight to the subject. There was no point in making an unnecessary conversation.The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.


    -Ingrid, I''m not a man who turns around the problem.


    I have a problem, and you have a problem. And your problem involves me.


    Alexander said all he had to say, without making visual contact, was focused on cutting a piece of meat.


    -Hm. And what would be my problem? As far as I know, I do not have one.


    - Ingrid, I''m sure you are not here willingly. You are here because your dad likes to play games. You''re a pawn.


    Alexander took a mouthful of wine after he finished talking.


    Meanwhile, Ingrid looks very strange at Alexander.


    Alexander''s words were like a knife in her heart.


    She was surprised. She was a little more interested now in the man in front of her.


    -Alexander, you a very unusual way to seduce a woman.


    - I''m not trying to seduce you. And after tonight, I certainly will not have to.


    -How so?


    -Your dad asked you to seduce me. I don''t have to. It''s the other way around. But it''s okay.


    Ingrid just a smile at Alexander, it was a wonderful one.


    She took the glass and stretched it toward Alexander. He poured wine for her.


    - Why would my dad do that?


    -How I said. Your dad likes games. He wants to use you, to keep me away from my father''s company.


    -You know all this, you''re still here. I wonder why?


    Ingrid''s gaze was different from the beginning.


    She is a sensual now. Her fingers are playing with the glass.


    The lips moved slowly.


    Alexander lost his temper for a few moments. She looks sexy. Alexander has to admit that she knows how to seduce men.


    -Do you think that such a simple plan, would not have been noticed by my father? I''m here because your dad wants me not to be here.


    Ingrid did not say anything, but he understood what Alexander meant. She was a sacrificial pawn. If Alexander didn''t come, then the deal with her father would fall. But how Alexander knew about it.


    Her thoughts were interrupted by Alexander''s words.


    -Your father''s plan is good. But your brother, I got to admit, he''s brilliant. He spent a lot of time and effort. Your dad will be impressed.


    Ingrid remained with a white face when she heard of her brother.


    - As I said, you are a pawn of your father. The pawn is the most important. It can be sacrificed or can become another piece in the game.


    Do you want to be sacrificed? Or to become another piece in the game?


    Alexander started to smile. It was a smile that meant many things.


    -What is your proposal?


    -Your problem is simple, Ingrid, if I refuse to marry you then, you will be thrown away. I''m sure your brother will be pretty happy.


    -Marriage? You think my dad will throw me just because you will not marry me?


    Ingrid was upset. Though, she knew it was true.


    Ingrid could not understand how Alexander knows so much about her relationship with her father. In public, they always looked like the perfect family.


    -Of course, he will. Perhaps not immediately. But your brother will make sure of that.


    - You''re pretty sure.


    -You, are not you sure?


    - How do I know you''re trustworthy? Be sure I will not become your pawn.


    -I do not need a pawn. That place is taken by some an else.


    -What do you need?


    -I need you.


    His direct claim surprised her.


    - Let''s say I agree, what makes you think you can touch my brother?


    - I already know his plan. Anyway, what you have to lose? If you become my wife, you do not need your father, but he will need you.


    -What does it mean to be your wife?


    -For your father, it was an entry into the technology market. For you, it means that you will receive what is yours. It means we have to live in the same house.


    It means that you will not cheat on me. And the other way around.


    I protect my family. If you become my wife, I will protect you.


    Ingrid looked at Alexander after he began to say


    -Nothing else. Not the same bed. No sex.


    -If you don''t want to. Alexander said in a calm tone


    -How long will it take?


    -You can leave it when you want.


    -Okay. Anyway, I have no choice.


    -Good. I''ve finished eating. You?


    -Yes.


    -Good. Let''s go.


    -Where?

 somebodys on the phone

    In a Mercedes CLS, Alexander was looking on the phone. Ingrid stood on his right.


    -Where are we going?


    -At my home.


    Alexander answered indifferently.


    -Why?


    -You will know when we''re getting there.


    Ingrid nodded. Wanted to ask more questions, but she didn''t know how to start.


    From time to time she looked at him. At first, she could not figure out what


    Alexander was thinking. It was direct but still very mysterious.


    She tried to gather information about him but could not find anything. It was like a missing person. No one knew where he was.


    After 30 minutes of driving, the car stopped in front of a simple house. She was expecting an impressive house, but it was not like that.


    Alexander got out of the car. Then he opens the door for Ingrid.


    - Put the phone here.


    Ingrid was a little skeptical, but she did as he said. Now there was a little fear.


    The house was different from what she expected.


    There were screens everywhere. Some had code lines, others had, surveillance cameras.


    It was a simplistic, refined, modern style. Maybe too modern. Each room had a secure door, an open kitchen, all cooking tools organized as a professional kitchen. Ingrid wonders if he knows how to cook.


    -Do you want something to drink?


    -Water.


    Alexander nodded and pushed a glass toward her.


    -What is this place?


    -My house. I already said that.


    -It does not look like one.


    -It means we have different ideas about a house.


    -Why am I here?


    -What I said, I already know your brother''s plan. And as you said, you will not become a pawn. So it''s easier to offer something to trust me.


    Alexander took a glass of wine and sat down on the couch.


    -Ingrid, I''m a hacker. For a hacker, identity is all. My name is Luxuria.


    Only associating my name with Luxuria would mean my destruction.e.


    I''m not talking just about jail. I offended many people.


    If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.-Do you tell me, so I trust you?


    Ingrid sat next to Alexander.


    -Of course. Trust is hard to win. So I give you a way to destroy me. So we are equal.


    -Are you sure I will not talk to my father? Or my brother?


    - You will not. You will not get anything, nothing for the long term.


    -How did you find out my brother''s plan? It''s not the man who left any traces.


    - Everyone leaves traces. Some of them know to hide them better than others. His plan is the same as your father. But he found out a piece of information about me.


    -What information?


    - I have a childhood friend. He thinks I''m in love with her.


    Ingrid set one leg over another and continued the conversation with Alexander.


    -Do you feel nothing for her?


    -Jealous?


    Alexander raised an eyebrow.


    -Of course. You will be my husband. I do not like to share.


    -You can take care of her alone. Looks pretty close, to your brother.


    Alexander took a mouthful of wine.


    -Interesting. Then leave it on my hand.


    -Do what you want.


    Alexander stood up and headed for his room.


    He honestly didn''t want to deal with Anna. It was a headache.


    While Alexander was in the room, Ingrid stayed on the couch, trying to process what happened but was interrupted by a phone call. It was Alexander''s phone.


    Ingrid picks up and sees the caller as the name of a woman, Anna.


    Ingrid figured out who is the woman, so she answered the call.


    Alexander knew who called. He knew Ingrid answered the call. He was curious about what she would do.


    Anna felt weird. Alexander usually calls her at least once a day. But today she did not call her, so she decided to call him.


    -Yes.


    Anna was surprised. It was the voice of a woman.


    She picked up the phone from her ear to see if she called the right person.


    - Is Alexander there?


    Ingrid kept the phone in the same position.


    -Sweetheart, somebody''s on the phone.


    Alexander heard of course but did not answer.


    -I''m sorry, he''s in the shower now.


    -No, is okay. Just say, I called.


    -OH.Sure. If you don''t have anything to say, I''ll close. Bye.


    Anna stayed with the phone in her hand, staring for a few seconds.


    Alexander was with a woman. She felt a strange feeling in her chest. She thought she was the only woman in Alexander''s life.


    She shook his head. Sure is not a big deal, he loves her.


    Ingrid''s lips were raised, in a smile. It was pretty funny. She wanted to see the woman''s expedition.


    Alexander came out of his room dressed in his usual clothes. He''s reborn as a college student. Had a towel with which he rubbed his head.


    -I see you have fun.


    -Very. She was, your childhood friend?


    -Yes.


    Ingrid stood up and headed for Alexander.


    -Let me help you.


    Alexander handed the towel. Alexander was taller than Ingrid with a head, so the Ingrid rose on the peaks.


    -We''ll live here?


    -If you want.


    -It''s good here. What will we do next?


    - Next, tell our parents that we are determined to marry. I do not think they will oppose it.


    Ingrid nodded while rubbing Alexander''s head.


    -HAAM.


    A man''s voice was nearby.


    -Don''t you want something from me, sir?


    The two split up as soon as they heard the voice.


    -I want you to accompany Ingrid from now on. I will not need you for a while.


    -As you wish.


    David witnessed the two. It looked like a piece of furniture. Are not they known only for a few hours?


    How can they be so close? The youth. They move too fast.


    David did not have an impression on Ingrid.


    Alexander wanted to ease Ingrid''s work and a measure of oversight over her.


    He took a tremendous risk, chose to put his trust in an unknown person.


    They need each other if they want to succeed.


    -You can drive Ingrid home.


    - I''m too tired for that.


    She said in a soft voice.


    - Then you can stay here. I''m going to prepare the room.
