Briar's birthday party had gone well, at-least Charles and Madeline has fun, but turns out she was in a lot of trouble.
Paparazzi had caught her and Charles dancing inappropriately and her father was raging. "What the hell were you thinking?" her father said shouting at Madeline the next morning after the party. "Father it was just dancing plus it was with Charles-" her father cut her off "it was not just the dancing it was the way you were dancing." "Can't you just let me have some fun? even if it's with my fake husband that you forced me to marry?" Madeline continued before storming off to her room. "Your not allowed to see him for a week!" Her father shouted up the stairs as Madeline slammed her door.
Madeline sat in her room for the next few hours. Her mascara was smudged under her eyes, she felt nothing but sadness and anger to her father, and for the first time ever, she wasn't angry at her fake husband.
The night approached and Madeline was still in her room, she refused to head downstairs for dinner with her family and instead had it delivered to her room where she still didn't feel like eating.
She opened her balcony and sat outside for a bit admiring the sunset as it got darker, until a Little Rock was thrown at her window. She looked down to see Charles outside. "What are you doing here?" Madeline said trying to stay quiet so her parents wouldn't hear them. "I was told you need rescuing." Charles said with a smirk on his face. "Who told you that?" Madeline said crossing her arms confused. "Your sisters." Madeline rolled her eyes still looking down at Charles. "So you coming or not?" He asked.
"How?" Madeline said looking for a way to get down."Just make your way over the fence and then I'll catch you." Charles said reaching his arms out. "You? Catch me? I don't think so." Madeline says refusing. "Just do it I won't drop you." Charles responds reviving a look from look from Madeline. "I promise." He continues reassuring her.
Madeline climbed over the fence and lowered herself down into Charles's arms where he caught her instantly not letting her even touch the ground.
"Wow you actually caught me." She said looking at him. "Well I wasn't going to let you drop was I." He responded before they walked towards his car.
"Where are we going?" She said as Charles started driving. "Food." He said. "I know you haven't eaten at all today Briar told me." He continued. Madeline looked away outside of the window, but Charles noticed placing his hand on hers. "Tell me what's bothering you." He said causing her to look at him. "Nothing, just my father continuing to make me feel like shit and when I'm upset I don't tend to have an appetite." Madeline responds. "Well don't be upset and please have an appetite we're going to eat." He says reassuring her.
They arrived at a restaurant and Charles told Madeline to stay on the car as he went to get some food, she couldn't go outside as the paparazzi would see her and she didn't need her father to be even more angry with her.
Charles came back after a few minutes with a bag of food and got inside the car. "What did you get?" She asked him. "Nothing fancy don't get excited, just a burger and chips and I got you a Pepsi." He responded handing her over the food. "Thank you." She responded taking a bite.
They enjoyed their food together and had a conversation until Madeline said. "Why are you doing this for me Charles?" He shrugged eating his food. "Because." He said. "Because what?" Madeline questioned. "Because I don't like seeing you upset especially when my whole life I've never seen you sad." He continued. "You've never seen me sad?" she responded with a shocked look. "You always hid it because you never wanted people to know." He said looking at her. "That's true." She responded continuing to eat.
Once they'd finished, they drove around Monaco enjoying the sunset before Charles dropped her back to the palace through her balcony helping her back up.
"Thank you for that." Madeline said looking down on Charles. "Your welcome." He said. "I really needed that." She responded catching eye contact with him. He smiled before waving and sneaking his way out not to get caught.
Madeline layed on her bed before hearing a knock on her door. "Come in." She responded seeing her father walk in. After her time with Charles she felt it was time to apologise and make things right with him.
"I'm sorry father." She said. "I'm sorry too Madeline." He responded. "And I'm glad your getting on with Charles." He continued before leaving the room.
She was getting on with Charles? how could that be after hating him all these years...
