Investigativejournalist Stories

Truth ruined her career. Lies made her famous. Naira built her platform chasing views instead of meaningless ghost stories, viral scares, empty headlines that brought millions of clicks and nothing else. Until one anonymous message pulls her to the edge of the city, where a factory officially listed as "closed" still breathes after midnight. She goes looking for proof. She finds him. Vivaan is everything she should fear-untouchable billionaire, industrial visionary, and the man whose name opens doors governments won't question. His company powers cities. His influence silences critics. And now, her investigation points straight to him. The footage she captures threatens to expose more than corporate corruption-it threatens a man who does not lose control, and does not forgive curiosity. Instead of destroying her, he watches her. Instead of silencing her, he steps closer. He doesn't fall in love. He claims. And Naira's greatest mistake may not be uncovering his secret, but letting him notice her.

I hope I'm not the only one who is a major simp for the journalist *laughs nervously* anyways if you're here, chances are you are too!

Although, the journalist will take the main role as the "Strong male" and you will take the role as the "strong independent and kindhearted female who also happens to be polite and kinda quiet." oh well enough jabbering! Let's get to the good stuff :> P.S I'll try to make things more aesthetic later but for now, I'm just really eager to write.
