"Yes anything you need Cookie were with you" Anika added. Cookie looked over at the mother of her grandchild whom has had her back the last couple months. " this baby is making soft because I am starting to trust you" Cookie said to Anika
" you have made me part of this family again and I refuse to loose that again, so yes I am remaining loyal to you." Anika finished

Spoke "We 've were supposed to become a family Eve" Cookie said smiling with tears sliding down her cheeks.

At Empire
Lucious sat at his desk trying to get his paperwork done but he could not get her saddened face out of his head.
" no, I begged her for a year, she didn't budge, fuck her" he said to himself
" who are you trying to film yourself sir" Becky asked from the door
"Becky please"
"No, I see you with Guiliana it's like you lost your heart while with her your nothing but your heart she made you better and you know it."
" do you know where she is"
" no sir sorry, oh please sign these contracts when you get a chance they are for our new artists" Becky finished leaving Lucious to his thought of her ivory skin and almond eyes
" Cookie" he whispered her name
" Lucious you wants to talk to me" Anika said walking into his office with Jamal
"No i want to talk to my co-CEO"
" Lucious you know that Cookie put me in charge while she was gone"
"Where is she, I want to talk to her about business"
"I get to message to her"
" I know she is mad about me deciding to post pone when Cookie met Lucious"
" I know I was ignoring her because of Bella being gone but I need to talk to her" Hakeem added walking in with Andre
" I need to Apologize to mom about the way I acted" Andre finished
" we know she left because of us, where is she Anika" Jamal finished
Anika looked at all four men talking at the same time and yelled "stop, this separation is not about any of you she loves all you big headed idiots but she needs space, now Lucious let's talk" Anika finised
"Pleas tell mom we love her" Jamal sadly finished leading his brothers out
"Please Anika I need to explain..,."
" explain what why you broke her heart again" Anike spit out cutting him off "you know I did love you but now that feeling is way gone and I hope she finds the same freedom one day. Now tell what you want"
Lucious sighs and started explaining to Anika the next business moves he was making
Time Pass
"Alright I will pass these by her" Anika finished walking out. Lucious pressed a button "she is leaving to see her Thirsty follow her"
" you got it boss"'
Anika placed her daughter in the car seat having sent the nanny home and got into her car driving off to her secret location not realizing she had a tale.
