Chapter 14:  Race against time   

Emilia's heart beat fast and she quickly set off from home towards Verona. They have evidence; Now these need to be given to the right people before the corporations catches up with them. "We must press on," Verona said, her eyes focused on the road ahead. "But we have to be careful. The corporations has connections everywhere." Emilia nodded, her heart pounding. "I know someone who can help us. A reporter investigating the corporation's activities. Verona's eyes lit up with hope. "Who? "Let's go." As she was walking through town, Emilia's phone rang with a message from an unknown number. The corporations tried to silence her with threats and warnings. But Emilia is not afraid. She is driven by fierce determination to uncover the truth at all costs. They finally reached Sarah's office, a small room in a run-down building. Sarah is a little woman with serious eyes and always a book ready. "Emilia, what's wrong?" She asked, her eyes scanning the file in Emilia's hands. "We need evidence to destroy the corporations," Emilia replied, her voice firm. "But we have to move fast. They've caught us." Sarah's eyes narrowed. "I'm going to make this public. But I want your story, Emilia. Your voice. The public needs to hear your voice directly." But Sarah's words resonated deep within her. This is her chance to change. Sarah's eyes were shining with determination. "I'll tell you the story, Emilia. But we have to work soon, can you tell me everything?" She told Sarah about the bees, the corporations, and the partnership. She told her about Max, Verona, and the evidence they had found. Sarah listened happily, her notebook full of notes. When Emilia finished, Sarah looked up, her eyes sparkling with tears. "Thank you, Emilia," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "Thank you for trusting me and telling your story." "Thank you, Sarah. Thank you for believing in me." Verona was pacing the room, her phone buzzing with updates from people. Max was in the background, his eyes fixed on Emilia with interest and concern. Last sentence written. Sarah's words transform Emilia's story into a powerful narrative that will resonate with the public and spark outrage. Emilia's nerves fluttered like a bird in her nest as she prepared for the announcement. This time it's real. Will the people believe her? Will they get sick? The article spread quickly, reactions from the public poured in, and responses came quickly. While the news and slow conversations tell her story, Emilia's phone rings. Despite all this, Emilia kept her head high and her voice echoed throughout the country. As the days passed, news of Emilia spread quickly. Protesters gathered outside the corporation's headquarters to demand justice for bees and the environment. The government was forced to take action and began investigating the corporation's activities. Emilia's name has become a symbol of courage and hard work. She was hailed as a heroin, her face appeared on magazine covers, and her story inspired many people to take action. But Emilia knows that the real heroes are the bees. She continues to work tirelessly, using her platform to raise awareness about the importance of bees conservation and the need for sustainable practices. When Emilia looked at the opposing team, she was filled with pride and determination. She has found her voice and will use it to fight the truth. James, the director of the corporations, was arrested and charged with fraud and the corporations had to pay heavy fines and clean up its practices. Emilia's family's apiary has recovered and the bees are starting to recover as well. Emilia's mother smiled, her eyes shining with pride as she walked towards the hive. "You did it, Emilia," she said, her voice just above a whisper. "You save the bees." Emilia smiled with joy and gratitude. She knows this is just the beginning and there is a lot of work to be done. But now she's proud of her victory, knowing she has made a difference.
