Chapter 1
If you told me that the wolf I was working hard to sabotage will be the Angel to save me from the jaw grip of the rest of the pack , I would call you a liar .
I waddled from the classroom , I was late for my scheduled live stream on the popular app paracam because the lecturer was yapping about entrepreneurship which I very much didn’t need because I already was a successful influencer .
I was the most followed person in my university and all the fellow students admired me .
“There is Maya ,” One girl said as I passed by .
“Rushing to expose another billionaire!” Another girl said .
I smiled and waved at them , I was in my I made it era .
“I will serve the people .” I whispered to myself as I ran to catch the taxi .
In a few minutes I reached to the Nyemba millers company , my team was already there waiting for me ,we hid in a nearby bush as we were preparing our ambush , I got a marker and wrote on the cut out cardboards as my team was setting up the tripod .
Nyemba millers company was the biggest wheat producer in the country , everyone praised them , they were the biggest export of the country , but all that was about to change .
I was about to expose them and I was so happy about it , my heart skipped a beat , one wrong move and the Nyemba’s would throw me into prison to rot .
No one in my family has the money to bail me out .
As I was still re thinking my decisions when a guy on my team pressed “start live ".
Thousands of people joined my stream and soon noticed the building i was standing infront of .
“I knew there was something wrong with the Nyembas .” People started commenting in the chat .
I knew there was no turning back I had to do it now .
“Why am I even shaking at this point ?” I asked myself .
I am used to exposing mayors , ministers and one time even a president, I am famous for that , this is my speciality .
I cleared my throat and started .
“We all know the Nyemba’s as the main export of this country but do we know that they achieve this at the expense of less priveleged people they over work in the wheat fields and at the machines ?”
Thousands of people liked and shared my live , but I still wasn’t sure about what I was doing .
“Confront them .” My fans typed in the chat .
Of course that is what I was here to do , I raised up a sign that said “ Free your workers .”
10 other people stood behind me holding the same sign, we started shouting “Free your workers .” as we moved closer to the main entrance.
The security guys rushed to us and snatched the cardboards away from us .
I looked one in the eyes , the camera was still recording , I asked him .
“Do you get paid enough for this .”
He lifted me like a feather and was about to toss me to the ground when a sonorous voice called from behind .
“That is not the Nyemba values !”
I wiped my eyes and looked above me a 6ft tall young man with ruby eyes and cherry lips was standing before me .
“That is not how we treat people that have an inquiry about our business .” He said .
He stretched his hand out to me to hold on , I blinked and it was back to his pockets .
I stood up and dusted my self , checked if my phone was still recording.
“Oh my God that is the heir of the Nyemba’s Mr Ole .” Some one commented in the chat .
I immediately knew I was not safe , why was he smiling at me ?
I know these people dont mind pouring blood as long as it protects their name , I was doomed .
“I will take you to the warehouse and see the workers , maybe get the information first hand , I think your viewers would appreciate that .” He said turning his back towards us .
We padded behind him , making sure our audience was still attentive.
We reached a big white door , and Ole turned and looked back at us .
“The technology that our machines use can easily be interfered by electromagnetic waves .” He said handing me a container .
“Switch your phones off and put them in there please .” He said.
“No , I am not comfortable.” I said .
“You think a billionaire will steal your cheap phone ?”
“Actually no , I don’t think so , I just want to report live for my audience.” I smiled and said .
“Dont your audience trust you ?” He asked with grin on his face .
“Chat dont you want to see live for yourselves?” I asked my audience.
“To see the machine’s burst and cause havoc in the whole city ?” Ole asked .
I had no choice but to put my phone and other phones in the container .
“I need to also check you to make sure you have no devices that will cause accidents.”
“I don’t like men touching me !”
He smirked and sighed .
“Infact I will allow just you to come inside , we don’t want overcrowding in here !” He said as he pressed a button that opened the door .
It revealed a network of huge machines running non stop , no workers were in sight , I was confused , I thought for a while then decided to step in , the massive door shut closed with a thud , my heart skipped a beat .
It was total darkness , sudden silence filled the room you could hear a pin drop .
Then I heard something crawling up on my legs , I screamed, I felt a force sweep me off of my legs .
Soon the lights started turning on one by one , I realized what the force was , it was Ole , the heir of the Nyemba company was holding me in his arms , staring in my soul.
He cleared his throat and put me down , I soon noticed that the room we were in was empty , the machines were no where to be seen .
It was an empty white room , the billionaire heir looked me in the eyes and asked .
“What is your price ?”
“You think you can buy me !”
He stopped for a while and smacked his lips , he leaned towards me and whispered.
“Maybe , maybe not .”
His voice sent cold shivers down my spine , it was unusual for me to feel that way towards someone who is supposed to be my victim.
I took one step back .
“I said what is your price ?” He repeated with so much agility.
“I cannot be bought, am priceless .”I said while shivering.
“More like worthless .” He replied .
I took several steps back until I reached a wall , at that point I wished that I could go through it but my anatomy couldn’t let me , he kept coming closer to me .
“What is your price ?” He asked .
