Backfire on the Empire

Lucius

Omniscient POV

Cookie Lyon walked down the halls of Empire wearing a blue maxi dress and some black heels. Her hair was straightened and parted down the middle. She had some things she had to get off her chest. She walked into the meeting room and saw Karina, Kristy, Andre, Hakim, and Jamal in there.

"Hey mom. What's up?" Hakim said hugging her.

"Nothing. But I know something that's about to be over. Hakim Karina is crazy and you need to leave her alone." Cookie said.

"She ain't crazy mom. She's my wife." Hakim said as he pulled Karina over to his side and held up her ring finger and his.

"What!? You gotta be joking. You've only known her for three months!" Cookie exclaimed.

"Hakim we told you not to do this!" Jamal yelled.

"Love is love ma. I can't help who I love and for how long I've known them." Hakim said before kissing Karina.

"This is crazy." Andre said. "And I know crazy."

The smile on Karina's face grew large. She was five seconds away from doing a happy dance. She couldn't believe the man she was in love with was now her husband. She was fighting to keep from kissing and feeling on his as she stood.

"So you're serious? This bitch is crazy Hakim! She's psycho!" Cookie yelled.

"Calm down ma-" Jamal was cut off by a voice.

"Who's psycho?" they heard a male voice ask.

They turned around and saw Lucius standing in the door way looking at them.

"The hell..." Andre said looking shocked.

"I see you got Thuggin here." Lucius said.

"Who?" Hakim asked.

"Thuggin" Lucius said pointing at Karina/Thuggin. "Let me guess, she lied about her name? Let me guess again. Cookie is behind her being here in the first place. Cookie, you are the one who has my son prancing around with a crazy fat girl?" Lucius said.

"Who you calling fat?!" Kristy and Karina/Thuggin said at the same time.

"Yes fat. Oh. Long time no see." Lucius said.

"You bastard! How dare you call me any name after all the shit you've done! You killed our mother!" Karina said trying to lunge at Lucius.

Hakim grabbed her and held her back. Kristy stood still with tears in her eyes and her head held low. She didn't expect for things to end up like this. All she ever wanted was peace.

"It had to be done Thuggin. She wasn't your real mother. She took you and Kristy when y'all were little." Lucius said.

"You're lying!" Karina yelled.

"I'm telling the truth. I can have your real mom brought here." Lucius said.

"We'll see!" Karina said before walking out after knocking some papers off the table in the middle of the room.

Karina and Hakim scurried behind her to make sure she was okay and that she didn't do anything reckless. Hakim even knew Karina was a piece of work at times. She could go 0 to 100 in five seconds.

"Lucius! How did you get in here? How did you get out of jail?" Cookie asked.

""I have my ways. Vernon is the one that put me there." Lucius said.

"What!?" Cookie exclaimed.

"Yea. Somebody killed hi. so they didn't have an eye witness anymore." Lucius said.

"Wow. All the crimes and hurt you've done you'd think they'd have more than one." Cookie said sitting down.

All the events of the day had her tired. She noticed she had been putting on weight. Her belly was protruding and her face had filled out and was glowing.

"So, I see you're pregnant." Lucius said.

Cookie looked at him like he was crazy. By now, Andre and Jamal were looking at him too.

"How did you know?" Cookie asked. The only person she had told was Jamal.

"You looked like this when you were pregnant the last three times." Lucius said.

"Oh... I... umm-" Lucius cut her off.

"How many months?" he asked.

"Five." Cookie said.

"So I'm gonna be a dad again. Hmmm. Let's hope this one's a girl. We need more female talent in this family." Lucius said.

"Screw you Lucius. That girl Hakim is with is crazy. We need to get her away from him." Cookie said.

"I think she's perfect. Hakim could learn something from her. She's talented and she's crazy. She's smart. She knows how to play the game. I say she's good for em." Lucius said.

"You're insane!" Cookie said standing up. "That bitch will destroy all that Hakim has!" Cookie exclaimed.

"Yea. She's no good." Jamal said.

"I think it's best we keep her with him." Andre said taking his father's side.

"Plus, she could make us a lot of money with that gun selling business." Lucius said before leaving the meeting room.
