The Lyons Den (Corrupt City)

Cookie

"How am I supposed to function without the company Cookie?" Luscious sobbed.

"Luscious, look at me, everything's going to be okay, we're going to get our company back, and we're going to do it the right way this time, it's time we teach our sons a lesson, when times get hard we can't quit, we can't give up, we gotta stay strong, were Lyons Luscious, it's in our blood," I said as I wiped his eyes.

"You always been my ace Cookie," he said as he caressed my cheek. "I'll always be by your side Luscious, through thick and thin," I replied as I pecked his lips.

He laid me down on my back and got on top of me not once breaking our kiss. I had one hand on the back of his head and the other on his cheek.

He rubbed my thighs as he looked deep in my eyes. "I love you," I said as I left my hand travel down to his chest.

"I love you more Cookie," he said as he pecked my lips. He kissed from my lips all the way down to my neck. I licked my lips and closed my eyes. This is what I had been waiting on since forever. I've been waiting on Luscious to make love to me.

Jamal -

"Skye, baby when you get this message call me back," I said as I hung the phone. I laid my iPhone 6s down on my kitchen counter.

I reached inside my cabinet and grabbed a glass, and a bottle of red wine. I poured my glass about half way full and then I put the cork back in it.

I grabbed my glass and headed to my balcony. I had so much on my mind I could barely think straight.

Empire was my home, I was adjusting to being in the lime light and being associated with my dad.

Every since he knew I was gay, he disowned me, but my talent was what drew him closer to me, and now that Hakeem took that from me from the entire family, I wanted to kill him.

I loved Hakeem, but he was a spoiled brat. He wanted everything done his way or no way at all. He was selfish, only thinking of himself and not the other members of this family. Yes Luscious has done wrong, he's done us all wrong, but too take Empire, this families legacy away was cruel.

Hakeem was young and stupid he didn't know what it took to run a company, and Camilla and Melissa was just using his name to get the perks of Empire. They wanted the upper hand on Dad, but I wasn't going to let it happen.

I had a plan brewing, brother or no brother I was going to take Empire back from Hakeem, but not the right way or the legal way, the dirty way. If Hakeem liked to sleep with the dogs, he was about to wake up with flees.

Andre -

I took a deep breath and loosened my tie as I pulled the Range Rover dad had bought me into the drive way of my beautiful house. I couldn't wait to go inside and cuddle up with Rhonda. I wanted to rub her stomach and feel to the baby kicking.

I couldn't wait to be a Dad. I wanted to hold my son In my arms and smile when he held my finger with his little hand. I wanted to experience all of that.

I hopped out the Range and closed the door. I made sure the car was locked and then I pulled out my house keys. I walked inside the house and instantly dropped my keys as I saw a pool of blood. I swung the door open and fainted as I saw Rhonda laying unconscious in a pool of blood.

"Rhonda! Rhonda!" I yelled as I moved over to her. I held her in my arms rocked her back and forth. "Rhonda! B-baby! Wake up Rhonda! Wake up!" I yelled as I checked her pulse. My hands began to shake as I pulled out my phone and called 9-1-1

"H-hello yes I have an emergency! I'm at 125 S AdamLane! Hurry the hell up!" I yelled as tears fell down my eyes. "Rhonda!" I sobbed as I rocked her back and forth. My mind was all over the place, I couldn't handle this pain.

Jamal -

"Luscious! Cookie!" I yelled as I bursted inside Luscious's house. I received a voice message from Andre saying he found Rhonda unconscious and he was taking her to the hospital.

As I ran up the stairs I began to hear Beyonce's Rocket playing. I bursted through the master bedroom and Cookie and Luscious scrambled hiding under the covers.

"Okay I don't even wanna know what y'all was doing but get dressed because We need to go to the hospital, Andre found Rhonda unconscious in a pool of blood," I said with my eyes closed.

I shut the door and headed down stairs. I called Auntie Carol and Aunt Candace. They both said they were on their way to the hospital. I even called Hakeem. At the end of the day he was still a Lyon.

After waiting fifteen minutes, me Luscious and Cookie got inside the limo and made it to the Hospital. Aunt Carol and Candace was there waiting on us.

"They won't let Andre go in," Carol said nervously.

"Where is he?" Cookie asked. Candace pointed down the hall to the doctors trying to calm Andre down.

Me, Cookie, and Luscious ran down the hall to were Andre was.

"That's my wife! What the hell you mean I can't go in and see her!" Andre yelled as he punched the wall.

"Sir we have to do surgery on her, you need to wait in the waiting room.

"Andre! Come on baby, come to mama," cookie said as she wrapped her arms around Andre.

Me and Luscious both wrapped our arms around him as he continued to loose his mind.

"Dre, I'm here bro," Hakeem said as he hugged Andre.

"Keem!" Andre yelled as tears ran down his eyes. I looked over at Luscious who had tears falling down his eyes, as well as me and Cookie.

At that moment we put the Empire shit behind us and we held each other like family.

Candace -

"Now is not the time Candace," Carol said nervously as we walked over to the door.

"I'm going to tell her," I said as I pushed past her.

"Candace wait,"

"No I'm done waiting, I'm going to tell Cookie now!" I yelled.

"Luscious you need to stop Candace!" Carol said as she grabbed Luscious.

"Stop her for what?" Cookie asked.

"They want to stop me from telling you the truth,"

"Candace you're out of line," Luscious said .

"Nigga I will knock that Fedora off you're fat ass head, you're out of line, Cookie seventeen years ago two days after you were sentenced, Carol and Luscious got drunk at my house and sex," I replied.

"What, Candace that's crazy," Cookie asked as she looked from me to Luscious to Carol. Carol stood their with her head down, while Luscious gave me an evil glare. Hakeem's mouth was wide open, and Jamal looked shocked. Andre rose his head and stared at Carol.

"They have a eighteen year old daughter named Samantha, if you don't believe me do the research she attends Almada it's a performing arts high school," I said as I put on my shades and walked away living them all standing there looking stupid. When I walked to the end of the hall I went to turn left but I stood there and stared right into the eyes of the devil Luscious Lyon himself.
