The contract between you two is invalid. If the money was a (profit-sharing partnership), it is invalid, and you both must repent. The profits belong to the owner of the money, and the worker is entitled to a fair wage (ujrat al-mithl). If the money was a loan, it is an interest-based (ribawi) loan, and you are only entitled to your principal.
