Warning: Character Death

Paring: FrUk- FrUs. I guess you could see UsUk at the end if you wanted. Nyo England and Nyo America.

Note: This was inspired by "Two Black Cadillac" by Carrie Underwood. "Crimson Secret", the one I'll post after this one, goes with it. Oh! I almost forgot. The roses Alice gave represent enchantment and love at first sight, referring to when they first got together. The ranunculus (buttercup) Amelia gave says, "I am dazzled by your charms." well "was" dazzled, lol. I looked up the flowers on a website so I'm not 100% sure if the meanings are correct.

Greed Will Kill You

Alice let out a shaky breath as she hung up the phone. The decision was made. This would be the last time she'd shed tears for a man. He would pay dearly for everything, they'd make sure of that.

"Alice?"

She turned to face him, forcing a smile. "Yes Francis?"

"I have a business meeting I have to attend this weekend. I' won't be back early Monday morning."

"Do you really have to go?"

"Oui but I'll be back soon. I love you." He kissed her forehead before turning to leave.

She grabbed his arm. "Please don't go Francis. Stay with me."

He smiled softly. "I'm sorry ma chère, I promise we'll do somezing special when I return." Francis walked away.

"You won't be back, love." She whispered once he was gone.

Amelia sat in her car waiting for the right moment to get out and head over to the funeral that was currently taking place. She took a deep breath to try and calm her nerves.

"Come on Amelia you can do this!" she slapped her cheeks. "Oww not the best idea."

With a sigh she exited her car and fixed her short black dress before slowly walking over. She watched all the crying faces in wonderment and couldn't help but ponder would they still cry if they truly knew him.

Amelia stood on the opposite side of the casket directly across from the one person who wasn't shedding a tear. Though most people here probably chalked it up to shock. After all this woman just lost her husband of seven years.

Amelia knew she was staring but she couldn't take her eyes off this woman. So this was the one Francis betrayed for herself for two years. She couldn't understand why he'd be unfaithful. This woman, Alice as she stated over the phone, was very pretty. Granted Amelia knew she was good looking herself but she still didn't know why he'd cheat on his wife.

She watched as Alice's eyes finally glanced up from the coffin and met her own. They stared at each other for a long moment before Alice smiled slightly and placed her white lilac and purple roses on the casket. Amelia watched her leave before placing her buttercup flower next to the roses and following after the widow.

"You're Alice right?! Wait up!"

Alice stopped and looked back at the blonde heading her way. "Yes I'm Alice and you are?"

"I'm Amelia." She smiled holding out a hand. "And you look like you could use a drink."

"Yes I think a nice stiff drink would do me well." She chuckled, shaking her hand. "Would you care to join me Miss Amelia?"

"Of course after all no one should drink alone."
