Madison shivered, snuggling closer to Arthur for warmth as a draft of icy autumn wind blew in through the house's open window. In return, he secured his grip on her frail figure, holding her tightly against his chest. The two sat in silence for several minutes, simply enjoying one another's presence. It wasn't until a shower of rain began to pour through the window that they finally broke apart.
"Damn it!" Arthur cursed as he jumped up to close the window.
Maddie rushed into the kitchen to retrieve some towels to help soak up the pool that had gathered on the living room floor. After taking care of the watery mess, Arthur went to take a shower, and Maddie gathered up her few belongings so she could head home.
Francis sauntered up steps to Madison's front door, twisted the knob and let himself inside. A quick inspection of the house told him that she was out. He was about to leave when he spotted her cell phone lying on the kitchen table. Curious as to what she had been doing while he was away, he picked it up and began looking through her texts. His eyes narrowed in resentment as he saw who the majority of the messages were from; Arthur Kirkland. It was obvious that the two were dating, there was no question about it. It angered him to know that his Madison had gone against his warning to stay away from the Englishman. He would make her pay for such treachery, he would make them both pay. His mind was torn from it's vengeful thoughts as Madison's phone gave a cheerful beep to say that she had received a new message. Francis quickly opened it and read it's contents.
Morning love,
You left your scarf at my place. I'll bring it over in a minute.
-Arthur K.
Slamming the phone shut, Francis spotted Madison walking up to the house. His lips curled into a cruel smirk, he knew exactly what needed to be done to destroy her and Arthur's relationship. And the best part was that he wouldn't even have to lift a finger, Madison would do everything herself.
