Jimmy calls Sandro and asks him to set the car at the agreed place.

"why did you have to do it?"Rank asks Mercy.

"I am sorry but I do not regret working with the gang."She replies.

"In ten years back,Mr.Charles and Madam Susan visited our village at Mort.We warmly welcomed them there.At the time,Mr.Charles had not yet been promoted as he worked as the deputy to Mr.Sam who was the then CS of security.

Our village was happy to see this visitors as we knew they had come to do good at our village.Mr.Charles promised to improve our infrastructure.He also promised to increase the employment opportunities to our people who were very poor.

Surely,God had sent a helper.In no time his plans began.He ensured factories for our coffee was set up.He built schools for our children.He also went ahead and construct some hospitals in our village.

Our men were now working in the coffee plantation and were assured of high salaries after the harvest.They all work day in day out without complaining as they knew they would harvest for their labor.

Time passed and the harvest season approached.We were all happy.The farmers harvested their coffee and they all sold them to Mr.Charles.However,Mr.Charles failed to pay them at the moment and promised to pay them after the sell.He successfully convinced the chief who was my dad to talk to the farmers.My dad did as he was asked and he succeeded.

However,after some weeks my dad went back to Mr.Charles and asked him of the payments but he asked him to return the following week.This game went on for several weeks.One day,I noticed my dad sitting alone and he seemed so stressed.When I approached I was so shocked to find him crying.When I asked him what was the matter,he slowly cursed himself for failing his people.He had agreed a wolf to come and stay with them and it was now going to eat all his sheep.

He said that Mr.Charles had sold their farm output and was not willing to make the payments to farmers.

Moments later, a group of farmer arrived at our homestead asking for their payments.They complain of having failed to take care of their families and they were now starving.My dad was able to convince them for some days and promised to look at the matter.

He immediately set for Mr.Charles but he was told the same thing.He was also forcefully chased out of the palatial house when he begged for their payment.He returned home very stressed and picked a rope and a panga from the store.He then left to the farm.

After sometime we heard cries from the farm and when we went to checkout we were all shocked.Our chief had committed suicide by hanging himself on a tree.

This was not only a shame to us but also to the entire chiefdom.A chief killing himself for failing to protect his people.Moments later Mr.Charles took over the area and forced us to be his slaves.Everyone including the small kids were forced to work in the coffee plantations at no pay.Majority of our people died while at the farm.

After few months,Madam Susan was able to discover gold mines in the area.He told Mr.Charles who took the advantage.He not only mined the golds but also stole some of our valuable jewelries such as the Azure.He sold some and built the Genova International Jewelries which he owns.
