North America / Texas (Houston): February 5th, 1993.
(Mathew Knowles's POV)
"Are you really going to keep your promise." Asked mathew with a serious look on his face. Gripping a piece of long curly hair tight in his right hand.
A hooded man was silent for a moment and said with the lower piece of his half stitched 4th degree burnt mouth showing and grinning with his left black bionic hand extended "The eye has always kept their promises. We will secure your daughters future success but I'll need beyonce's hair In exchange. Now give it."
"H…how can I be sure that your not some fraud. I need reassurance, if your lying I can guarantee you'll regret it. Do you know who my oldest daughter is." Said Mathew with a bead of sweat forming on his forehead and steaming down his face. His eyes advertedly looking back at tina and a man.
Tina chewed her bottom lip with clenched fists and stepped up and asked with a serious look on her face "If we do give you her hair. What do you plan on doing with. I want to be sure that his is worth my time and my daughter's future."
The hooded man was silent for a moment.
"I can't disclose that Information but you do have my word that it will be worth it. Now give me the hair or I'll have it take it by force." Said the hooded man with a half grinning face. His bionic hand extending more.
Suddenly a young chocolate skinned man with a bulldog shaped nose stepped up and said calmly as he pushed both tina and Mathew back "We need a contract. I don't Intend to just hand out a piece of hair of my future wife to a organization we hardly know about or have any leverage on."
"F…future wife." Said tina softly with a confused look on her face.
Mathew breathed a sigh of relief and thought "Oh. Thank god. I knew this kid was talented in business otherwise I wouldn't have left my daughter in his capable hands. Shawn corey carter"
"We already had a deal. Step aside. My deal is with mathew knowles, not some bulldog looking kid." Said the hooded man calmly as he waved his left hand ina shooeing motion for shawn to step back behind tina and mathew, so mathew could handle his own business like a man.
Shawn's jaw clenched tightly and said with a scary look in his eyes "Contract or no deal. Your call."
"Please choose contract. My daughter needs this, we need the money" Thought mathew with large beads of sweat dripping down his face from his forehead.
Tina's face eyebrows extremely creased from stress as she chewed her bottom lip.
The hooded man was silent. Cars atop the bridge being heard under it from where, tina, mathew, shawn and the hooded man stood underneath it.
"Then I'll just do a contract." Said the hooded man calmly. His expression unknown under the hood.
Tina and mathew both breathed a sigh of relief.
"Call your boss. I want to speak with him personally. Not some failed experimental minion." Said shawn calmly while yawning. Shooeing his hand for the hooded man to get to work.
Mathew's eyes widened in shock and said "He didn't mean that. We apol..."
"Fine." Said the goodness calmly. His tone not wavering at the disrespect at all and his bionic right hand creaked slightly and pulled out a very advanced looking phone from his pocket and dialed a number while putting it in speaker.
"Hello." Said a familiar voice from the phone. It belonging to alfred fucking samwell.
"Mr samwell there's a young man here who wants to sign a contract with you. He's apart of the knowles family." Said the hooded man calmly. Cynicism being heard within his voice.
The phone was silent for for a moment.
"What do you want young man." Asked alfred calmly from the phone.
Shawn smiled slightly and said calmly "I want you to secure beyoncé giselle knowles future. In exchange we will be connected to the eye and attend balls and expand their interests and power."
The phone was silent. Tina and mathew's visibly having panic attacks and supporting each other behind shawn.
"I agree but you also have to attend secret meetings. I hear talent in your tone Shawn corey carter. Otherwise known as jay z." Said alfred from the phone with a low chuckle.
Shawn's eyebrows creased and said with his back straightened "I agree. Nice doing business with you."
(Crystallize's POV)
I stared at emma. My eyes boring holes into her head.
"Do you need something ma'am." Asked emma nervously. Her cheeks getting visibly flushed from the attention.
I looked back out the window while crossing my legs and asking calmly "How much did you pay off louis joseph freeh. The director of the federal bureau of Investigation."
"I gave him 5 million. Was it enough ma'am, should I give him more." Asked emma calmly with a worried look on her eyes.
"No. It should be enough considering he's letting me meet abigail." I said with a sigh while adjusting my dress and tapping my left foot on the car floor slightly. Adoring a black one-shoulder bodycon midi dress with black ankle-strap stiletto heels. Flawless makeup done as always, golden manicured nails and bracelet along with two parties of golden luxerious earrings. Flawless Indeed dah'ling.
Emma was silent for a moment and said with concern "Ma'am I think you need to deal with that woman quick or she will make things more complicated then they already are."
"I plan to." I said with a closed eyed smile as we pulled in front of the police station.
My driver got out of the car and came around to my side of the car. Almost tripping from the side walk and opened the door while saying with a nervous smile "S…sorry for the wait ma'am."
I got out of the car while thinking as emma also got out on her side "I'm glad I had the director move her to california"
I looked at some civilians staring at me wide eyed excited eyes with their phones out and waved with my right pointer finger as I put a pair of gold and black shades and said to emma "Did you bring the dollar general gloves."
"Yes. I'll give them to you Inside." Said emma while looking at the sudden paparazzi gathering around us in front of the police station. Edward stepping out of the passenger seat of the car with 4 more stepping out of a black truck behind the car and formed a formation around me and emma as I started heading towards the entrance.
"CRYSTAL, I HEARD YOU ARE DOING A LOS VEGAS RESIDENCY. IS IT TRUE, I'VE BEEN YOUR FAN SINCE YOUR IT GIRL ERA." Said a woman loudly with her phone high in the air to record. Her face visibly very excited to see me.
"We shall see babe. We shall see." I said with a smile on my face while waving at the rest of the rest of the fans and blowing kisses as cameras flashed nonstop.
"So this is a b+ celebrity rank. I need to be more careful" I thought while seeing even more people gather around. Amounting to over 55 possible people.
"CRYSTAL WHAT ARE YOU DOING AT THE POLICE STATION." Asked a male reporter loudly from the paparazzi crowed.
Another male reporter pushed the male reporter aside and asked loudly "CRYSTAL WHAT TIME DO YOU SLEEP AT NIGHT AND DO YOU REALLY LIVE AT HEARST CASTLE. IS IT TRUE YOUR RELATED TO AFRICAN ROYALTY."
"CRYSTAL HOW DID YOUR VOICE SHIFT TO A WARM, HUSKY AND MATURE LIKE IT SITS HIGH BUT VERY LOW TONE AND WHEN DID YOU BECOME A BILLIONAIRE AND HOW WAS IT PERFORMING WITH MICHAEL JACKSON, ARE YOU BOTH SEEING EACH OTHER ROMANTICALLY." Asked a female reporter loudly and madly as she ran towards me fastly. One of my security guards apprehending her Immediately.
My eyes were wide.
"CRYSTAL…" Said a fan loudly.
"CRYSTAL…" Said a fan loudly.
"CRYSTAL…" Said a fan loudly.
"CRYSTAL…" Said a fan loudly.
"CRYSTAL…" Said a fan loudly.
"CRYSTAL…" Said a fan loudly.
Camera's flashed nonstop. My brain at this moment going completely blank.
"Ma…" Said a faded voice,
"Ma…" Said a faded voice becoming clearer.
"MA'AM" Said emma loudly, shaking me slightly.
I looked at emma. My widened eyes returning to normal and said with a smile as I waved at the paparazzi with both of my hands "Let's get this shit done."
