I Got Myself A Sponsor
Tyra Racquel
Emerald learned early how to survive without being seen in a city that devours soft women. Dark-skinned, slightly curvy, with a cropped pixie cut Emerald studies people before they speak, weighs rooms before she enters them, and knows when silence is safer than pride. Poverty taught her discipline, but hunger taught her patience.
Lucien is money wrapped in a mystery of tailored suits, private drivers, and quiet power that stretches far beyond legitimate business. He doesn’t save women. He sponsors them. In return, he expects loyalty, discretion, and control.
When Emerald accepts Lucien’s offer, she steps into a world where comfort replaces struggle, but nothing is ever free. Diamonds come with rules. Protection comes with surveillance. Love, when it appears, is tangled in ownership and danger.
As Emerald learns the truth about the criminal empire financing her new life, she must decide what survival really means. Staying kept guaranteeing safety or becoming dangerous to guarantee freedom?
