Chapter 8: Chapter 8

For two months, Ariel got used to the quietness of the large house. The silence was starting to get deafening, but she didn't mind it, she used that period to finish all her online courses.

For the first time in her life, she was proud of something she did. She was now a certified software engineer and a certified ethical hacker (white hat). She couldn't wait to start working from home; she had already set up an anonymous work profile on LinkedIn and was confident enough that some huge company would soon contact her for her services.

As usual, she was up early; the cook and cleaners were already used to her morning routine: Wake up, exercise around the large compound, bathe, and eat.

The only time they would see her again was in the evening before they left; when she'd come down for dinner.

Today, she was dressed in black yoga shorts, a white loose-fit Nike sweater, and white Nike sneakers.
