Chapter 1: The Unexpected Message🧾
Ngozi was just your typical Lagos girl — struggling to make ends meet, beautiful but street-smart. She hustled every day, dreaming of a better life. But her world flipped upside down the moment she got a strange message from a number she didn’t recognized
*Unknown:*
Ngozi, I know where you are. Stop running.
*Ngozi:*
Who is this? How do you know me?
*Unknown:*
I’m someone you can’t afford to ignore. We need to talk.
*Ngozi:*
Talk? You sound like trouble. I don’t have time for games.
*Unknown:*
You’ll have time soon enough. Sanger is coming.
Ngozi’s heart raced. Sanger? The name echoed everywhere — a feared mafia boss known for dealing with anyone who crosses him. Why was he after her? And who was this mysterious messenger?
Before she could answer, her phone buzzed again...
*Ngozi:*
Sanger? Are you serious? I don’t know any Sanger.
*Unknown:*
That’s what makes this fun. He knows *you*. And soon, you’ll know him too.
*Ngozi:*
Look, whoever you are, leave me alone. I’m just trying to survive.
*Unknown:*
Survival depends on choices. Make the right one, or you’ll regret it.

Ngozi’s fingers trembled as she read the messages. Was this a prank? Or something darker? She looked out the window—the bustling Lagos street seemed suddenly dangerous. Her phone buzzed again.
*Unknown:*
Meet me at Lekki bridge tonight, 10 PM. Come alone.

*Ngozi’s mind screamed ‘No!’*
But curiosity—and fear—pushed her to type a reply…
*Ngozi:*
Fine. But if this is a trap, you’ll regret it.
