The Rise of a Young Billionaire

My name is Clinton. I was fifteen when the man who raised me told us to get out. No room for questions, no time for feelings. Just doors slammed and lives changed. That night, I walked into the unknown with my mom and siblings, leaving behind a father who chose silence over support.

I thought I understood heartbreak. But betrayal has many faces.

One called me "babe" and told me I was the reason she begged God to let her live through surgery. I stayed by her side when she had nothing, when she could barely breathe. I believed in her more than I believed in myself. Then came the silence. The cold distance. The posts of her ex. The quiet betrayal that cut deeper than the loudest shout.

And just when I thought I could find a way out, I was scammed. I invested my hope and my mama's borrowed money into what we thought was our break. But RXM lied. They took everything-school fees, rent money, her trust, my plan. All gone. Their promises were polished with greed, their "system" just another trap for the desperate.

The Rise of a Young Billionaire is not a tale of luxury or fast success. It's the unfiltered account of how I kept walking when everything-and everyone-I depended on turned away. I fried mandazi before dawn, knocked on gates with socks in hand, studied in borrowed classrooms, and carried 58,000 shillings of unpaid school fees on my back like a cross.

I failed once. Repeated. Rose. Got scammed. Got up again. Fell in love. Got abandoned. And still, I walk.

This book is for anyone who's felt the sting of being left behind by the people who were supposed to protect you. For those who gave everything and got silence in return. For every dreamer who's been lied to, cheated, and pushed to the edge-but still believes there's something on the other side of the storm.

Because I don't walk for pity. I walk for purpose.

And maybe-just maybe-this is what a billionaire looks like at the beginning.
