You must repent to Allah. Money taken unjustly must be returned to its rightful owners as a condition for repentance. As for money acquired from unlawful work with the consent of the other party, it should not be returned to its owners; rather, it should be disposed of by spending it on the welfare of Muslims. You are permitted to take from it what suffices you for a permissible livelihood.
