She met him under the club lights.
She didn't know she was meeting her fate.
When Zariah Cole steps on stage at Viera Lounge, she's just trying to survive - a young mother dancing for rent money, praying for a break, and hiding her fear behind borrowed heels. But the night Bishop Creed walks in, everything changes.
He isn't a customer.
He isn't a savior.
He isn't a man she should ever look in the eyes.
Bishop is a hustler with a reputation that moves through the streets like smoke - whispered, feared, respected. A man who lives by loyalty, danger, and rules no one breaks. A man who sees Zariah once and decides she's his.
What begins as protection becomes possession.
What feels like safety becomes a cage.
And every time she tries to pull away, Bishop pulls harder.
The women around her whisper warnings.
The streets watch her fall deeper.
And the house Bishop brings her into is wired to keep her close.
Because when a man like Bishop loves you,
he doesn't let go.
And when Zariah finally tries to run,
she learns the truth:
Some love stories don't end in heartbreak.
They end in survival.
