Beyonce's POV.

"I'm having this meeting today to discuss some business with you guys." said Jay, as he walked around the big oval shaped table. I looked over to see Rhianna in her phone, not paying any attention whatsoever to what Jay was saying. Sometimes I question why she's even in this business.

"What type of business are we talking about?" said Justin, as he leaned backwards in his rolling chair.

"I don't know if y'all know how much Nicki is blowing up but im really thinking of signing her to RocAFella Records." Jay said.

"And how exactly does that benefit us here at Wall Of Music Studios? Why can't we just sign her? " Justin asked. I looked over to Shawn and nodded my head for him to continue to negotiate.

"Well Bey and I have already discussed this and this is how it's going to work. We will have both companies emerge together to bring in more success and benefit us all, including the artists that we sign. Think about how much money that would doubled up on the companies. The possibilities are endless." said Jay. Justin sighed and rubbed his face in frustration.

"Okay, and how would we split the money & the artists equally? " Justin asked as he stood up from his chair.

"Everything is still divided, just the money will be doubled. The artists are what matters right now." Jay said as he looked over to me in confirmation. After contemplating, Justin finally agreed to the deal and signed the papers.

** Justin's POV.**

"I don't trust them, it just dont feel right J." Rihanna said as we got settled in the car.

"Look baby, Jay's a smart man when it comes to business. We've been doing this for a long time & I trust him. " I said, trying to convince myself more than her. She nodded her head in agreement and sighed.

"If you can trust him then so can I." She said as she adjusted the seat further back and closed her eyes. As I drove home, I admired all her features. She's not even trying and she still looks so perfect. Through everything we've been through she's still been by my side. A car honked in the back, pulling me frim my thoughts abd signalling for me to go due to the green light. As I was pulling into the driveway, Rihanna's phone vibrated against the seat. I reached to grab it but she beat me to it.

"It's just a bill collector." She said nervously. I looked at her suspiciously & shrugged. Without another word, I walked inside the house & went straight towards the bedroom. I could hear Rihanna following close behind by the clacking of her heels. I turned on my heels and stopped her before she could enter the bedroom.

"What's wrong?" She asked with confusion expressed all over her face. I sighed.

"Nothing, alright? I'm just tired and I don't feel like being bothered right now." She bit her tongue and walked away. I rolled my eyes and closed the door. It's been nothing but her picking a fight with me and right now, I refuse to have one.

Bey's POV:
"You hear that crowd Hov?" I yelled over the fans excitedly as Jay hugged me from behind. He chuckled.

"That's all you baby." He said into my ear an went on to kissing my neck. I giggled and turned around to face him with a serious face.

"You think we can pull this off Jay? " I asked as my thoughts were swarmed with full of doubts. He gave me a reasuring look and roughly grabbbed a hold of my ass.

"Now you know I got you. We just gotta play our cards right. We got this, baby." He said reassuringly. I exhaled and grabbed his hand as we headed towards the front stage.

"Show me what you got little mama." Jay said loudly into the mic, causing the audience to go wild. I giggled and started to do what I loved, perform.

** Rihanna's POV.**

"Look Rih, im getting real tired of this shit." he said aggressively. I buffed and continued on to smoking my blunt.

"I know babe, im trying okay? Just give me some more time." I said once again.

"How much more time do you need Rihanna? It's been a year now." I looked down, trying to find an excuse of some kind but nothing came to mind. Truth is I wasn't ready to leave Justin yet, he needs me now more than ever.

"Babe we just closed in on this deal with RocAFella Records, it seems pretty legit." I said in hopes that he would let go of that subject.

"Wait, RocAFella Records? I just signed with them. Guess we'll be seeing a lot more of eachother." I could feel him smirking on the other side but no words came from me. Instead, I hung up and went to join Justin in the bedroom.
