Day 4 of the Lyoness in a coma. That's 4 days Lucious hasn't got his answers. He can't so much as look at the bitch with out having the urge to murder her.

He hasn't been alive these days. Just there. The board members are up his ass. They think this will make stocks plummet. They haven't he'll they've boomed. To save the company and not risk further investigation Thirsty came up with a plan.

They flipped the story. Some unknown crazed fan shot her over an obsession. They turned the horrible act into a family monument. Now there's justice for Cookie signs out there. Pray for the Empire. All kinds of signs.

Justice for his Cookie he would get to. Hell he wanted it now. With Tariq lurking around it was hard to make a move. Thirsty was on his ass though. Following his tracks. We would soon have enough to get him off our backs.

He told hiself Cookie would want to deal with it when she came back. He had a very itchy trigger finger though and that's how he found hiself at that demons door.

"Open the door." He calmly stated. It had to be like 3 in the morning.

He heard rushed fumbling around the room and the door opened seconds later. She was breathing heavy. Scared? She should be.

He brushed past her and took a seat in a chair in the corner if the room. Just the meer stench of her was making him angrier.

She hurriedly sat on her bed looking in her lap. She knew this was comming. Plus, the gun in his hand was scaring the shit outta her.

"Why?" He asked cocking the gun. The click echoed through the silent room.

" I'm sorry." She cried out jolting backwards to the head board. He did the famous dark Lucious laugh.

" I don't give a damn about sorry. Fuck your sorrys. Why?" He snapped.

"I don't know.." She started. He aimed the gun at her. She raised her hands in a protective manner.

" WAIT! I don't know. Something in me snaps every time your with her. It's that same part in me that loves you even when you hurt me. 6 years Lucious! I gave you my heart everything and it took two seconds yo forget about me when she got out." She cried.

He diddnt give a damn about her feelings. She should have known that would happen. He keep a giant portrait of her in his house studio. Not even Cookie knew. One day Anika came in there and saw him staring at it. He was drunk and it was the 10th anniversary of her being locked up.

His heart could never belong to someone else. Cookies name was tattooed across it since the day they met. Yet he watched the girl who claimed to love him crumble at his feet.

" The way you talk to her, look at her, touch her, care for her, breath for her. I never got any of that. I became envious. Your the reason I hate her. The reason I snapped. Why couldn't you just love me. We could have been happy. All you had to do was love me back like I love you..." She poured out but was cut off by the sound of a gun shot.

She was shook. He was sick of hearing her cry out for him. In none of that did he feel was justifiable for attempting to murder his wife. Anika turned her head to see a bullet hole in the wall right next to her head. She looked back at him with a fear for her life.

He simply rose from his seat and began his exit. Not before stopping at the open door.

"I got what I cane here for. Next time I won't miss." He spat as cold as liquid nitrogen it's self. He turned and through her phone at her.

"And the vile humans that birthed you won't stop calling. Tell them your fine. Or I won't just have 1 body to get rid of." When he opened the door he was met with Bella's cries.

No doubt the gun shot probably scared her awake. Anika pulled her frozen body to the side of the bed. Her mind regestiring his threat. She went to get up when she heard Bella but he sent her a nasty glare saying he's got it. He slammed her door causing her to flinch.

Anika had to get out of there. Her last try to reason with him went out the door. He could have killed her. He should have killed her. She wondered why he diddnt then, it dawned on her Cookies isn't awake. Surely that's what he's waiting for.

Sure Lucious was scary to her. Cookie on the other hand was a whole new story. She was terrified of her. Lucious would shoot her and be done. Cookie would make her hurt like she was hurting and make it slow. She made up her mind quick. She had some phone calls to make.

When she went to reach for it. It begun ringing. A private number was calling. She just let it ring. When she checked her call log she saw that that number had called her alot since the incident. Her phone rung again she decided to answer.

"Hello?" Her voice came out shracky from crying.

"Anika it's Tariq." Anika cursed she went to hang up but he pleaded.

"WAIT. I know what you did. How long before he kills you huh? He's gonna do it. Let me help you help me." Anika knew he was up to some foul shit. But it diddnt hurt her to listen.

"Listen I can get you a plea deal. If you testify against him I can get you no jail time. I have enough forged evidence to take him down. I can forge some more to get you off the hook. Help me?" Anika wasn't stupid. The Lyons would destroy her if they found out. She couldn't do that but, if he could help her with her plan she could leave.

"Can you get someone to call and say Bella has an appointment with the docter. I could meet you at Marty's." Tariq thought he had a check mate now. He agreed and they ended the call.

Anika wasn't going anywhere near Marty's. She got on her phone and booked a flight to Fiji with an old credit card. She so desperately wanted to take Bella but, she couldn't. They'd never stop searching for her if she did. Anika was gonna leave tommorow. She cried the rest of the night. In her heart she was saying good bye to her baby.
