Heart of Ice

Chapter 26

Rhys

"Moonlight, don't worry, alright. We have the proof so you'll be proved as innocent," I reassure her. "I know that, Rhys. It's just that I can't believe my own sister would betray me like this," she says softly, still hugging me.

"Me neither," I say. "To take your mind off all this, wanna finish make those cookies?" I smirk. Iris nods with a soft smile. I hold her hand and we both get back into the kitchen.

She places the cookie dough in pieces onto the baking tray, she also ate some of it herself and forced me to eat some too. Obviously I'd obey her, because I love her.

She puts the tray into the oven and the cookies start to bake. It's currently 4:30pm. The cookies are done and they're cooling off. The front door opens. It's Avery.

I swear to god, if Iris goes all badass on Avery. It's only gonna make me fall more in love. "Time to..." Iris sighs as she goes to the front door.

I follow behind her. "Oh hey I-" Avery gets cut off by Iris. "Acting all innocent, huh?" Iris says softly but sternly. "What are you talking about?" Avery asks with a guilty look on her face.

"Don't act like you don't know anything, Avery," she says. "I don't though," she smiles softly. "I f*cking know it was you who framed me. It was you who ruined my career, you f*cking backstabber!" Iris snaps.

"Who told-" Avery pauses. "Fine. I admit. It was me," she smiles like a psycho. "Why the hell would you do something like that?" Iris asks her.

"Firstly. You had everything. A good career. So much money. What not. Secondly. You were everyone's favorite. I was always in your f*cking shadow. I never had my own life. My life always revolved around you, your career, your competitions," she shouts.

"I wanted you to feel what it was like being in the background for once," she laughs. "And I've succeeded," she says. "And why the f*ck would you date Andre," Iris asks.

"He was also extremely keen on getting back at you for ruining his image and career. We ended up liking each other and dated. Simple," she says with a sick smile.

Iris slaps her hard across her face. "You backstabbing b*tch. I didn't ask for you to be my manager. You basically begged me to give you the job to be my manager. You always took most of the money I worked hard for," Iris shouts.

My Iris. I've never seen her this angry before. I'm liking this argument.

"How dare you slap me," Avery says as she raises her hand at Iris. I grab her arm before she could lay a finger on Iris. "I don't care if you're a woman, but if you touch her~" I tell her as I let her arm go.

Avery scoffs and rolls her eyes. "Get out of my f*cking sight. Come back later when I'm not here. Or better yet. Don't come back. Ever," Iris says.

"You're no longer my manager. I don't even want to know you. Just leave," Iris says sternly. "Don't forget. I own half of this house. Sister," she smirks as she leaves from the front door.

I hug Iris from behind. She holds my arm. "I'll talk to my lawyer, and I'll be proved innocent," Iris tells me. "I'll take you tomorrow, hmm?" I offer.

"Alright. Thank you," she says. "Anytime, moonlight," I say. "Do you want to stay with me for a while? At my home," I ask her. I would love to live with this girl.

"Really?" she asks. I nod. "It's alright, I don't want to bo-" I cut her off. "You'll never bother me, moonlight," I say. "Alright then," she says with a smile.

"Pack your stuff. We're going," I smirk at her.
