Chapter 5

Miranda pulled away from Andy and sat back down on her chair. Swivelling around she faced the window and looked out at the New York skyline. It took a few minutes to realise Miranda wasn't going to hear her.

"Tell the twins I tried... And to have a nice time in Aspen... Merry Christmas Miranda" Andy turned and walked out the office.

Getting on the subway Andy just sat on her own, phone in hand and simply hoping Miranda would phone or text. She never did.

2 month later...

Andy and Miranda hadn't kept in contact and were making sure they avoided each other, not to Andy's want but Miranda had told her to leave and she had. She didn't see Caroline or Cassidy and she kept away from any function that Miranda was attending. But she missed Miranda, she missed laughing with Miranda, going out with the girls and Miranda, shopping and well anything to do with the Priestly girls. How could Miranda shut their friendship off so quickly and at such a strange time?

~Runway offices~

Miranda was sitting at her desk going over the newest Burberry photo shoot, it was all wrong of course... The models were too skinny and they had soulless faces... No this would not do. Pulling her from her work was Emily standing at her door. Lifting her head slowly, giving her first assistant a deathly glare

"What?"

"Err... Mi-Miranda... There is someone here to see you... She says you will know who she is and that I have to let her in or she will come in on her own accord."

"Did she say her name?"

"No"

"Then send her in..."

"You're sur-" Miranda tilted her head

"Of course, Miranda. I'll send her in now"

Emily scurried back out of the office and Miranda got back to her work. Only to be interrupted by someone standing at her office doors. Lifting her head yet again, she looked at the woman who stood one foot away.

"Miranda darling, how's things?" Miranda was simply speechless and couldn't seem to find her words quick enough.

"Cat gotcha ya tongue... Sis..."

"Rachel..." Miranda tried to speak in her usual glacier tone but it didn't work.

"Well at least you remember my name" Miranda cleared her throat

"Well the last time I saw you, you were naked... In bed with my first husband..." Miranda said in a deathly tone.

"Ohhh pish posh! Details Miranda! Sisters are suppose to share after all..." Miranda rose from her chair and stalked towards the door standing behind her 'sister' Miranda closed the door and moved to her couch, she sat down regally and crossed her legs.

"I'd rather I kept my husband MY husband thank you"

"He was an ass... And not very good in bed either! No wonder he got YOU pregnant..." Rachel laughed, seemingly more evil than Miranda's if possible, her bottle blonde waist length hair (obviously extensions) and her looks were corrupted by the Hollywood Botox regime. She used to have the natural beauty like Miranda but decided her looks were ageing and went under the knife.

"Anyway that's not why I'm here" 'she wants something' Miranda thought. And as if reading her mind Rachel reached down and pulled an envelope from her Prada (last season) purse.

"Then prey tell why are you here?" Rachel handed the envelope over to Miranda, she accepted and opened it up. Gasping at what she saw.

"How- Where-" she looked at Rachel incredulous, in the envelope two photographs, the one she had sent to Andrea and the one Andrea had sent to her.

"I'm going to kill her"

"Oh Miranda relax, this has nothing to do with your little play toy. I got them from a friend who managed to get them... How I don't know...but I payed a lot of money for those photographs... Only copy mind you!" Miranda looked at her sister.

"And you want me to pay you..."

"AND then some! Listen I couldn't careless who my sister fucks... Male OR female! But I do want compensation for my... Trouble" Rachel moved to Miranda's desk and picked up a picture of the twins.

"How are my little gorgeous nieces these days?" Miranda chose to ignore.

"How do I know that these pohtos are the only ones out there... How do I know there aren't more copies?"

"You don't but that's what you get when you become a slut and send pictures to various lovers... Truth comes out in the end lovely lil sis" Miranda cringed

"Do not call me that! Rachel this is my career we are talking about!"

"Oh don't you think I know that? Hmmm? Why do you think I'm threatening you with it? You really are pathetic you know that? I want 3 million dollars into my account by the end of today or I will see that those photos are released" the next thing Miranda knew Rachel was in front of her and taking the photos back. Miranda tried to grab them but missed.

"Ah ah ahhh! Now Miranda are you gonna be good and get that money for me?"

"Rachel I cannot simply pull out 3 million dollars from my account! I can maybe get you 1 million?"

"Why ever not?"

"The bank simply won't allow it!"

"You're 'Miranda Priestly' you can do anything! Do it! By the end of the day or I'll send these to page six... Sure they'll have a field day with them! I must say Mira you managed to keep that gorgeous body you have had for so long! Remember when we used to go to the beach and flaunt our stuff whilst daddy went somewhere in Europe?" Rachel was twisting Miranda's photograph from side to side, then she changed to Andrea's photo

"She is devine I must say! I mean too good for you, maybe she wouldn't mind something a little more.." Miranda hopped in feeling the jealousy rising up.

"Fake?"

"Clever Miranda darling" Miranda nodded her head slightly

"End of the day or these go.." Rachel collected her bag and exited the office. Miranda sat speechless and motionless. What could she do? Jumping into action she ran to the phone and dialled the first person in mind, luckily they picked up straight away.

"Hello?"

"Andrea, I need your help"

"Miranda? What's wrong? You sound like your... Your crying?"

"Please Andrea I need your help!"

"I'm on my way" Andrea hung up and left a crying and motionless Miranda alone in her office.

~20 minutes later...~

"Emily will you please let me in!"

"NO! I can't she will KILL me! You have to-" Andy pushed past Emily and through the doors to see Miranda sitting at her desk... Crying... Andy turned and closed the door to block out an intruding Emily.

Andy went round to Miranda's desk and bent down in front of her taking her hands in her own.

"Miranda what's happened?"

"That- that... Stupid picture you - you sent me!..." Andy suddenly felt sick

"It- my sister... She found it... And mine!" Andy took Miranda in a hug. She didn't even know Miranda had a sister.

"It's gonna be ok!"

"NO! It won't- won't be okay! She wants 3- 3 million dollars... By the end of the day!"

"Oh" Andy pulled back again

"Yes oh" Miranda wiped at her tears

"Ok... So what do you want to do?"

"I have no option but to... Do it"

"You have the money?" Miranda simply looked at Andrea

"Yes I have the money, but it's a lot of money!"

"Miranda for your career... You have to do it!"

"Yes you'd like that wouldn't you? Hmmm? For me to pay for YOUR mistakes? Budding journalist doesn't need a naked picture on page six does she!" Andy was shocked, she was here for Miranda!

"No Miranda... This isn't about me... It's about you! You can't have a NAKED picture of yourself on page six!" Miranda nodded... Then laughed... A genuine laugh not a fake one!

"What's funny?"

"It's ridiculous... My sister is threatening me... My own flesh and blood... Three million dollars Andrea..." minutes passed without either woman saying anything. Finally Miranda reached for the phone and Andrea stood and crossed her arms across her chest.

"Mr Lawrey I have a question for you"

"Can I transact three million dollars into an account?"

"Yes thank you... To a Rachel Princheck... No... I don't care... End of the day" there was a long pause

"Yes that's all..." Miranda slowly put the phone down.

"It's done"

TBC...

Thank you I know it's not long but this took ages until I was happy with it... I still feel I could have done better but this is good as I'm going to get it :( anyway thanks for reading...
