"Okay! Andre, I hear you!"
Danielle and her husband had been arguing about the same thing for months. He wanted a child, a son more specifically. Danielle loves her husband but he wasn't much of a man. Andre had no income, no goals, and he showed her no affection in private... only in public. Yet he always ran his mouth like he paid bills. At one point she thought he had ambition, she thought he was different. They had met three years prior at a jazz club. Their love story started with a lie, but she didn't see it as a red flag... she saw a man who tried to impress her. Back then her self esteem was low, she didn't see herself as she did now... he knew that too.

*flashback*

Danielle walked into a well known jazz club, she'd never been before, she caught his eye as she swayed towards the open bar. She was in fact turning heads. She wore a silver beautiful jewel encrusted gown that complimented her deep chocolate skin, and flashy jewelry that match her smile. She looked elegant and expensive. She reached the bar and asked for a glass of their finest champagne. The bartender began to pour as she slid her credit card across the bar. "It's on the house" Andre came out of no where, he wore a classy tuxedo with a bow tie. The bartender slid Danielle her card back and winked at Andre. "Hi, I'm Andre Johnson" he extended his hand for her to shake. "Danielle, thank you for the drink" she shook his hand. "It's my pleasure miss Danielle, do you mind if I sit with you for a moment, beautiful?". She didn't mind. They talked for almost thirty minutes. "I enjoyed your company Danielle, I hope you come back and I see you again" he said. "Leaving so soon?" She asked. "Well... this club won't run itself" he said. "This is your place? " she asked. He nodded " yes, so you shou-" before he could finish his sentence a man with a equally nice suit called for his attention, he briefly turned his attention back to Danielle, who was gathering herself to leave "I should get going too" she said. Andre kissed her hand "until we meet again, Danielle". She blushed and walked towards the door. Danielle suddenly stopped in her tracks, she smiled looking down at her hand he'd kissed. She walked back to the bartender and asked for a pen and napkin. Just as she was about to write down her number, Andre caught her attention... she seen he was not the club owner, only a busboy. Due to the intellectual conversation they held... she would've never guessed. She was impressed, and completely ignored the lie told, a lie which wouldn't be the last. She wrote down her number anyway and hand it to the bartender " For Andre, the busboy" she said.

"No, you don't hear me! If you did, we'd start trying for a baby already!" He yelled. Danielle picked up her phone to text Fantasia "Okay, I get pregnant, and then what? How will we take care of it? who will provide for us while I'm carrying a child?" She snapped. Danielle seen all of her text from lastnight were still unread. She had a funny feeling. "What do you mean? You just finished filming a movie and did a press tour, we should have plenty of money" he said. She scoffed "I should have plenty of money!" She grabbed her keys and purse. "And that was not the answer I wanted" she said as she slammed the door on her way out.

Danielle called Tasia repeatedly while she drove to her house, she began to worry. After Fantasia's phone went to voicemail for the seventh time, Danielle decided to call Taraji.

"Hey Dani bear, what's up" Taraji answered. "Have you heard from Tasia? I called her a million times. I'm starting to get worried" said Dani. "Not since we hung out lastnight, I haven't heard from her after that...I'll try to call her" Taraji replied. "Don't worry about it, I'm pulling into her driveway now. I'll call you back" Danielle hung up.

Danielle put the car in park and got out, she noticed Tasia's car in the driveway and went to ring the doorbell "Tai, it's Dani!". There was no response. Dani rung the doorbell again "Tai!" Still no response.

Meanwhile on the other side of the door, Fantasia became alert to the doorbell and the sound of Danielle calling out for her. She groaned at the pain she felt radiate through her body, she began to cry as she remembered what Brian had done to her. The more alert Fantasia became the more intense her pain became. She tried her hardest to get up but she couldn't move. Her voice strained as she tried to yell out for her friend.

Danielle barely heard Tasia's cry, she thought she had imagined what she heard. She listened closely "Tai?". She heard a muffle. Danielle looked through the window, scanning through the house until she saw her friend laying naked om the floor in dried blood "Fantasia!". Danielle panicked and broke the door in, she dropped to her knees next to Tasia, her heart broke seeing her friend like that. She picked took her phone out and dialed three numbers "911 what is your emergency?"

Taraji and AK ran through the hospital doors, Danielle waited for them, she was hysterical... she couldn't explain what was happening due to her constant sobbing. AK held her, and tried to soothe her "it's okay, I got you baby". Taraji walked into Fantasia's hospital room, the first thing she noticed was Fantasia's beautiful face bruised, she shed a tear. Taraji quietly walked next to Fantasia's bed trying not to wake her. She moved the sheet down Fantasia's body and pulled her gown to the side. She quickly covered her mouth as she burst into tears. "Does it look that bad?" Tasia soft raspy voice filled Taraji's ears. Taraji fixed Fantasia's gown and sheet "Danielle said she found you naked... who did this to you baby?". Fantasia reached for Taraji's hand "Brian did this to me" she whispered. Taraji gently squeezed Fantasia's hand "Did he?" She looked in the direction of Tasia's lower body. Tasia understood what Taraji was asking "No, he didn't...". Taraji kissed her forehead.

Police officers entered the room to question Fantasia on what happened. Danielle and AK entered the room as well. The three didn't leave Fantasia's side

Brian sat at his desk, scanning through paperwork. He fiddled with the scratches Fantasia left on his face. His bossed walked into his office "Brian." He was so focused he didn't even realize his boss stood between other federal authorities. "Brian Taylor?" An officer called out. Brian looked up "Yes" he said. The officer's surrounded him and cuffed him "you have the right to remain silent-" He was being read his Miranda rights.

Nia has came home after a bad day at work, she felt like Hollywood was out to get her. All she wanted was to tell AK about her day, but she wasn't home. No one was home. Nia called their phones but didn't get an answer.

She somehow found herself in AKs office. She sat in AKs chair and felt rubbed the top of her desk. A picture of Taraji caught her attention. It suddenly made her upset "Do you really think AK loves you more than me?" She laughed realizing she was talking to a picture. Nia started to rummage through AKs desk drawers not looking for anything specific but stumbled upon photos of AK and Fantasia from date night. She stared at the photo's. She thought AK looked like she really loved Fantasia. She shed a tear and decided to keep that photo, putting everything else the way she found it.

Dani got home pretty late, she cried her heart out to her husband, he didn't console her they way she thought he would. All he said was "She probably deserved it, he wouldn't do that for no reason" . She couldn't believe her ears. She gave him a disgusted look and went into their bedroom where she locked him out and cried herself to sleep.
