Cookie P.O.V
Three weeks later..
I slowly sit back letting the smell of Lucious' clone engulf me, I don't know how but traces of his scent still linger on his throne.
He used to sit in this chair for hours on end doing paperwork and signing off on deals. I never realized how much work running a company was until the whole empire rests on my shoulders.
It's been exactly three weeks since my husband disappeared without a trace from our hotel. We weren't even married twenty-four hours before the whole thing went to hell.
Did I really think I could just be happy that easily?!
"Momma C did you look over the deal with Macy's?"Tiana asks sporting a baby bump that looks like it may pop. At only six and a half months she looks like she's nine holding twins.
"Yes I did sweetheart how are you feeling?" I ask watching her struggle to sit down in the seat across from Lucious' desk.
"I'm fine. I was actually about to ask you the same thing" Tiana smiles an expression of worry on her face. Ever since Lucious went missing I've been on the same schedule work, look for Lucious,work again, home. The boys have been worried because I don't laugh or smile.. I mean how could I?
"Tiana I'm alive that has to mean something" I toss out making her push her eyebrows together further.
"Being alive and being happy are two different things" she says.
"Honey I know but how happy can I be when my husband is out there hurt, scared, dead.." I trail off my eyes beginning to water. I try not to cry in front of anyone.
"Don't say that. We all know he's alive maybe in a little trouble but alive. In the few years I've known your husband the one thing I learned is he's a fighter cookie" she assures me reaching across the long table and grabbing my hand.
"I know but it's been three weeks and nothing. What if he's really gone forever now? I can't- I don't know how I'll go on. I barely made it through this week, I feel so stressed. I can't run this empire by myself, I need him to be alright and come home but what if, what if?" I cry finally letting the tears fall.
"Aw cookie-" she's cut off by the office door opening and all three of my sons walking in.
"Mom-" dre stops once he notices the tears streaming down my face and the tears growing in Tiana's eyes.I turn my head trying to not mess up my makeup.
"Hey boys what's up?" I ask clearing my throat.
"We have a lead but if you need a minute-" I cut him off see by standing and grabbing my purse .
"I'm fine let's go" they lower their heads as I walk by them.
Eva P.O.V
"We have to get out of here,Eva hurry up!" Anika screams as I hear sirens wailing up the street.
"I don't understand why we keep running Anika. We didn't really do anything wrong" I try to reason.
"We didn't physically harm Lucious but we did set his ass up. You know cookie is on a manhunt for us. I'm not even scared of the damn police it's cookie we need to watch out for. She wants our heads Eva and trust me there's nothing like a Lyoness scorned" Anika warns.
