No, I figured out how to do it FOR YOU

Not the other way around. You didn't do any work FOR ME. And you didn't figure it out. You did the work you wanted to or were paid to do it and you were hired to do that work because you were willing to keep silent about the fact that I am the one who did it and that you're trying to get away with not paying me.
