Onika's Anatomy

Save Me

Beyoncé POV
December 3rd

"Nicki gone beat your ass when she finds out!"

"Solo shut the hell up. I'll talk to my woman tonight over dinner."

Solange came from behind my desk chair closing my laptop—which further annoyed me.

"I knew it, just say that you stepped down to make Nicki shut up. You can't stay away from work for shit."

I rolled my eyes. "What did you expect me to do? I gave a white man the privilege of running my cooperation and he started running it into the ground. Look at these number Solo!"

"Juju that's not the point! You stepped down because your family needs you, Nicki needs you. Now you're going back as CEO, for Christ sake Beyoncé it hasn't even been two months! Do you really love this job that fucking bad?"

"Interim CEO Solange! Why does everyone keep saying a job like I didn't build this shit from the ground up! This has our family name, our livelihood, our future!"

"Interim CEO my fucking ass. How much more money do you need Beyoncé? How much more success do you need to take time away from your family? You've reached new heights that most black women would never see. We see you, we're proud of you, but your family needs you Juju!"

I took a deep breath and gathered my thoughts before I spoke. I knew she was right, but I wasn't going to sit back and allow my company to plummet in front of my eyes. Millions had gone unaccounted for and two of major hospitals were on the brink of collapse.

"Solo...I understand. But I need you to understand me. I built this shit, worked my ass off day in and day out. Investors turned me down and left and right, I had the credentials, the money, knew people in high places. But because I'm a woman and I'm black they turnt my black ass down. So for you to think I'll let my business crumble and not step in and do shit about it, you a damn fool!"

That shut her ass up for a second, before she could run her damn mouth again Angie came rushing into my office.

"Juju, Ciara is here and she won't leave. You want me to call security?"

I thought I didn't hear her correctly until Solo hopped off my desk. "Oh nah send that bitch in here. I got an ass whooping waiting for her."

Angie messy ass didn't even wait for me to respond before she ran out the door.

I looked over at Solo with a straight face.

"What?" She snapped.

"You've been fucking with Lauren to much. You can't even fight!"

"Fuck you Juju! What does this bitch want anyway?"

"Your guess is better than mines. Ya ass invited her in here, I was just going to call security."

Solo looked at me and rolled her eyes. "And I could tell Nicki been rubbing off on you to much. What happened to beating ass first and asking questions later?"

I popped a grape in my mouth, fixing my blazer. "She went away when I was dead. You should be happy." I smiled.

"Oh bitch please, you stay trigger happy, ain't nobody pissed you off ye-"

The door closed and Solange snapped her neck toward Ciara, she looked—terrible.

She looked between both Solo and I in fear. I was so focused on her physical appearance I hadn't even notice the little boy clinging to her leg.

"B-Beyoncé c-can I talk to you alone—please." She asked looking down at the ground.

Solo laughed inwardly. "And the bitch came with demands. She's my sister and I ain't leaving cause I want to be nosey. What the hell you want? Cause Juju should have already have you flying out that window."
