"Pay the rent it's been 4 months now, where is my money?". The landlord demand with folded arms, staring at Iris.
"Uncle I promise to pay just give me some time". She begged kneeling down at his feet.
"No more,I have given you enough time to gather the money but you couldn't so leave my house". He he said pointing at the direction of the door.
"Please,I'll arrange the money give me 2 days". Iris begged but the man turned a deaf ear on her.
"Boys throw her things out of the house and don't leave any behind". He commanded.
"Sir, please leave the things I'll pay the money". She pleaded, dragging the baggage from him but bhe pushed her onto the ground as she fell with a loud thud.
FIVE YEARS LATER-
"Prince Wyatt". A man called running after him.
"What do you want". A deep voice asked as he turned around to look at his bodyguard.
"Prince you can't go it's snowing heavily". The guard stated running forward to hand over his coat.
"Thanks but you can't stop me from leaving". He said, taking the coat from him, immediately he dashed out through the doors and into the garden.
"Prince! Prince Wyatt come back here, the king personally told me not to let you out". He shouted, running after him but before he could stop him, he dashed out through the palace gates with his horse.
ON STAGE-
"Wow". The little children gasped as Iris sang them a lovely Christmas song.
"That was beautiful". The kids cheered, giving her a round of applause.
"Thanks everyone". She replied hugging them one after the other.
"Please sing another". The kids chorused as Iris gave a wild smile.
"Sure I'll..."
"Iris! Iris!"
*******************
"Jesus!what happened". Iris said holding her forehead in pain.
"Iris". Her madam called.
"Yes madam,I'm coming". She replied, rising to her feet as she dashed out of the room.
"Yes madam I'm here". Iris announced stripping the laces of her boots.
"Thank goodness! What took so long". She asked.
"I'm sorry Madam Selane I overslept". She responded, her head down facing the ground, hands at her back.
"Better not next time". She warned as she threw a leather bag at Iris.
"Here take this and get to the pub". She ordered."and don't come back if you're not given a single penny".
Iris reluctantly picked up the bag and slowly nodded her head as she made way for the door.
