The moment she heard him say her name her heart started beating rapidly. She turned around and smiled knowing they had an audience and she saw the King and Queen behind the Prince.
He walked up to her smiled. "Hey," he whispered and wrapped her arms around her waist. He knew they had to talk but since they had an audience he decided to give them a little bit of a show.
She realized he was going to kiss her in front of all these people and licked her lips.
They closed the gap between them and their lips met. They wanted to kiss a little bit more passionately than they were but they chose not to, first because there were kids present and secondly cause the King was watching them.
She was the first one to pull away and glanced at her in-laws and then at him. They looked at each other not knowing what to say but wanting to say so much at the same time. She was so glad Aria approached the Queen and she took her and the King to give a tour of the whole building.
"Can we go somewhere private and talk?" he asked.
"Sure," she started to walk and he followed.
,,,,,,,,,,
He walked into the office and Rachel closed the door behind her. When she turned around her heart skipped a beat. He was so close to her but wouldn't dare touch her. "You were amazing on stage." He whispered.
"Thanks," she said and was able to escape from his hold and walked to her desk.
"Rachel what you did here is… I don't have words. The kids are so happy."
"I couldn't have done it without your money and Aria of course," she crossed her arms. "She's so good and has the same passion for kids as I do."
He sighed and realized she was being professional. "Rach I…" he couldn't finish what he wanted to say because the doors opened.
"Oh and here are the lovebirds." Aria smiled not having a clue that the marriage wasn't real.
Rachel looked at the King with a serious face and the Queen had a smile because she was so happy to see her daughter in law.
The Prince wanted some alone time so they could talk but the King and everyone around them were making it impossible.
"What do you think about what your daughter in law has accomplished here? Amazing right?" Aria asked the King and Queen.
"Very impressive," the King said. "Aria can you give us a minute?"
"Of course sir, I'll be out there if you need me." Aria left.
"Rachel was Aria involved in all of the decisions?" he asked dryly.
"Yes," she said not even bothering saying 'my King'.
"Good then she'll be able to handle all of this after you are gone."
"What?" the Queen, the Prince and Rachel asked at the same time.
"You didn't think you would stay and manage this after the divorce did you?"
"Darling…" the Queen started to say but was interrupted.
"Tomorrow you sign the papers here, there's no reason for you to come to Africa," she heard the King say as he left. "Let's go"
Rachel went back to seat on her desk and let the tears fall. Not only was she going to divorce the love of her life, she will also have to walk away from this. She couldn't take it anymore and began to cry.
There was a knock on the door and Santana walked in. "What happened?"
"We are signing the papers tomorrow."
"Oh honey I'm sorry."
"And Aria will be managing the center on her own."
"What?" Santana said louder than she should have. "You built this place from the very beginning. Who the fuck does he think he is?"
Rachel shook her head and kept on crying while her best friend consoled her.
"We'll think of something. The Queen was really happy to see you maybe she'll say something or your husband will grow some balls and not give you up."
,,,,,,,,,,
The Queen was pacing back and forth waiting for her husband to get back from a business meeting. They were staying at a hotel close to the building and the penthouse. She heard the door opened and the King smiled. "Hello my love."
"We need to talk." She said seriously.
"What's going on?" the King asked.
"You have gone to far with Rachel," the Queen said.
"I don't want to hear it." He said and started to walk away.
"Don't you dare walk away from me. Get back here."
He sighed and walked back to her.
"I was quiet for the longest time but enough is enough. You my love will listen to me and that's final." She saw that he had her full and complete attention. "Your son and Rachel are in love. Why can't you see that?"
"That's not true. Its just hormones."
"Are you kidding me?" she asked. "Honey they have been in love for the longest time and for some reason you've been blind to see it. I've never seen you be so hard on a person especially someone who is part of the family."
"Mali."
"You've been so hard on her from day one and you are not like that. This person that you are around her is not the man I fell in love with."
He sighed. "She signed a contract. She's an actress of course she has you convinced she's in love with our son." He said. "And our son hasn't even fought for her. If he really truly loved her like you say he does, then he would've done everything in his power to make her stay. He didn't fight me on this."
"Because you wouldn't let him. He knows he's been a disappointment for you for years and he wants to change that. He wants to prove to you that he's changed but he feels like he can't stand up for himself because that would be another disappointment."
The King stayed quiet for a little while and sighed. "Maybe I have been a little to hard on both of them."
She raised an eyebrow. "That's an understatement."
"Okay all right."
"And I understand why my love but don't you think it's time you stop? And you can't take the center from her. That will just break her."
"Tomorrow we meet with the lawyers, if they really love each other and choose not to sign the papers then I guess I will respect that. I don't want to be on your bad side." He admitted even if he was still a bit apprehensive about the idea of Rachel being a future Queen, when she didn't even know how to be one.
"You're not on my bad side my love." She smiled warmly as she caressed his cheek. "I just wish you could see what I see."
"I know." He smiled and kissed her softly on the lips.
"What about the contract?" the Queen asked.
The King just looked at her.
,,,,,,,,,,
Rachel looked at herself in the mirror hall and sighed for what was about to happen in that room. She was going to fight for the center if it was the last thing she would do. The divorce situation was another story. She hoped her husband would fight for them because if he didn't then she knew for sure this was never real.
There was a big oval table in the middle of the room. The Prince, King, Queen and their lawyer sat on one side of the table while she sat on the other side with her lawyer even though she was sure she didn't need one.
"Okay so Prince Noah wishes to divorce Miss Rachel Berry. She will received 50,000 dollars and agrees to sign for irreconcilable differences. Is this all correct?"
"Yes" The King quickly answered.
"Okay well all you two have to do is sign and we will be done." One of the lawyers explained.
The lawyer gave the paperwork first to the Prince and he noticed Rachel was trying to act fine with this but he knew her better than she thought. And he knew exactly what he had to do to fix this between them. He pushed the papers away from and put the pen down.
"Son?"
"No." He said sternly.
