Cougar's Gold

Cougar’s Gold tells the story of a young man named Marcus and his struggles to overcome poverty. He later fights to gain independence from an imbalanced, manipulative relationship with his sponsor, a woman who was as old as his mother.
Marcus is ambitious and highly motivated in his desires to become a lawyer. Unfortunately, the magnitude of poverty around him made his dreams seem like fairytales. But fairytales create hope for dreamers.
So, Marcus was not deterred by obstacles. He also planned to get his relatives out of their disadvantaged position as he worried about their safety in the ‘Government forsaken inner-city community’. But he needs cooperation, and everyone does not share ‘his dreams’.
The idea of ‘ask and it will be given’ made it appear that the Universe was paying keen attention to Marcus’ wishes as through minimal efforts, he got an opportunity to exit his community. He took the opportunity with hope of making his life of poverty a forgotten reality.
There were many lessons to be learned as Marcus worked towards independence. He did not know that the road to success, would be fraught with adversities.
Marcus became disillusioned as he learned the sad truth that one can indeed exit the realms of poverty, but the price tag is always attached, and the cost varies.
For Lexi has invested heavily in him and intends to get much more than her moneys’ worth. Will Marcus be able to fill her insatiable appetite for sex, money and blood?
