COOKIE

Cookie quickly rushed away from that reporter after she asked her about Lucious. Correction, El Diablo. That name alone sent chills down Cookie's spine.

What kind of person would be okay with everyone nicknaming him The Devil? But the answer was Lucious. He loved the negative attention and he loved having everyone fearing him.

And everyone did fear him. People talked shit about Lucious in hushed whispers, scared it might get back to him somehow. And some people also moved away from Cookie and her kids when they walked on the sidewalk, scared they might kill them.

Lucious gave the Lyon name a bad rep with his murders and that's why Cookie divorced his ass. A part of herself wished she never gave him a chance at all, but at least she got some beautiful kids out of it.

And Cookie really didn't know she was dating a ruthless killer. No one knew who Lucious really was because he was so good at getting away with murder.

You see, one day Lucious and Cookie were enjoying life, building Empire together and everything, and then the cops barged in saying Lucious was being arrested for not one, but multiple murders.

Cookie couldn't believe what she was hearing. HER Lucious was a killer? But it started to make sense because she always did find it suspicious how Lucious had beef with the jocks who had a crush on her in high school, and then all of a sudden they all ended up dead.

Everyone who had beef with Lucious ended up dead. Every time. But Cookie was too in love to say anything. And a little bit scared.

The cops also told her they believed Lucious killed his own mother when he was 10. They didn't have any evidence or anything, but they said it was more than likely true and Cookie believed them.

Lucious told her his mother was murdered but that's all he would ever say. He was always very tight lipped about the topic and now she knew why. Because he didn't want her to know the truth.

Cookie's kids also knew about Lucious being a cold-blooded killer. She sat down and had a talk with them years ago, and they hated Lucious just as much as the rest of the world. So he needed to do them all a favor and stay in jail.

But he wasn't staying in jail. He was coming out tomorrow, so right now Cookie was trying to get a ride home so she can warn her family. But Carlotta Brown ran up to her. "Cookie, what the hell was that about?!"
