Chapter 3
(Priceless Tears)
"Your Dad sold you in exchange for drugs and debts"Mrs Walker stuttered miserably.
"What"Riley screamed, standing up on her feet. Piper looked shocked.
"Say something Piper,"Riley uttered, shaking her body.
"Where is Raiden and Kailani?"Piper asked.
"They are not back from school"Mrs Walker answered.
"We are back from school already sis."Raiden's voice could be heard behind her.
"And we heard the whole conversation.. what will you like us to do for you"Kailani asked.
Piper smiled and pulled her cheeks gently.
"Thanks for not letting me down"Piper said and turned around to look at the old man and moved her gaze back to the person she called a father.
"I heard you use me to pay off your debts"Piper uttered and scoffed.
Mr Walker frowned.
"Go and back your bags and follow your husband"Mr Walker roared.
"Yes, dad"Piper said with a bow and walked out of the living room, she walked down the passage that leads to her room, of course, Raiden and Kailani followed. Riley stood dumbfounded for seconds.
"What's she planning this time around?"Riley thought, running after her siblings.
"What are you doing Piper?"Riley yelled at her immediately, and they entered their room.
"As you can see, I am packing my clothes. Since Dad got me a husband so soon"She said, dumping her clothes angrily in the box.
Riley cursed below her breath,she calmed herself before turning Piper around.
"Piper Aurora Walker, this isn't you, this is not the crazy girl I knew back then. What changed you, what changed your personality"Riley uttered almost close to tears.
"POVERTY? Poverty changed me, poverty changed your crazy Best friend. It changed her completely"Piper uttered and laughed.
"And you think I will watch my elder sister being dragged away like a piece of rag."Raiden's deep voice ecod the room.
"Have got it done Crazy Sister"Kailani uttered with a bright smile, curving up her lips.
"What are you guys planning this time around?"Riley scoffed.
"We got you, we got you"Kailani sang jumping around.
"Sir back and watch,"Piper uttered.
"I got hot water, I got an itching powder and lastly the chilli powder,"Raiden said, arranging the items on a table.
"This will be fun,"Piper giggled.
"What the hell are you planning to do?"Riley exclaimed.
"To teach him a lesson,"Kailani muttered, arranging the items in a big bowl.
"Are you ready sis?"Raiden asked.
"I'm ready, "She answered, closing up her box.
Riley stared at the little Kailani and a bright smile curved up her lips.
"We are all good to go,"Riley screamed, showing a sign of victory.
"You wanna come along?"Piper asked.
"Yes, I am just wondering how your twelve years old sister could be crazy and your fifteen years old brother is extraordinary. How could these two have a twenty three years old sister, a crazy whale.''Riley wondered.
"The crazy whale that saved you from college bullies,"Piper chuckled.
"Don't use my past to mock me,"Riley laughed.
"Join me outside ''Piper screamed, walking out of her room with a fully loaded box.
They walked as fast as they could but stood still when they got to the living room entrance. Raiden opened the curtain sideways and scoffed, staring at the old man with a big stomach.
"I Raiden Thomas Walker kindly have a special gift to kill my brother-in-law.
"Wow, that's awesome,"Mr Walker smiled happily.
Mrs Walker looked at her son and breathed out.
"We will pay your debts sir, I promise to pay back within a week"Mrs Walker kneels in front of the old man with tears streaming down her cheeks.
"Momma got up on your knees"Piper barged inside the living room and pulled her up.
"Let me kneel and beg him Piper"Mrs Walker cried, refusing to get up.
"It's pointless begging Piper, go and pack your bags and follow him. He's going to determine how long your stay with him will be."Mr Walker muttered.
"Are you even our Dad?"Kailani roared, pouring the chilli powder on him.
*Mr Walker loud screamed could be heard*
"OMG, she ruined the plan with her uncontrollable anger"Riley thought, shaking her head. Raiden smirked and poured the whole bucket full of hot water on the old man , who jumped up in fear.
Riley didn't waste much time, she poured the itching powder on the old man who is still shedding miserable tears. Kailani smiled at her victory and her gaze went to the remaining chilli powder and evil thoughts came to her mind.
*The man wailed loudly inching his body in pain*
Kailani tip-toed and poured the remaining chilli powder on him and had the guts to hit the tray on his head with full force.
Riley knocked her head,
"Where you told to hit the tray on his head"Riley chuckled.
Raiden pushed the man and his dad out of the living room, leaving the two to sort themselves out. Mrs Walker was astonished by her children's courage and burst into tears.
"I love you Piper, I love you all,"Mrs Walker cried.
"We love you too Mom"They cried, running into her open arms.
Seconds later, Piper decided to drop the vacancy news to her Mom.
"Mom, guess what?"She giggled.
"You know i'm not good in that"She answered.
"There's a job opportunity at the famous Walter Empire, in need of an accountant, marketer and a lot more. Riley and I are planning to try our best tomorrow"She explained.
"God will lead and be your protection all through your interview"Mrs Walker prayed, pecking their cheeks.
"I will go and prepare myself for tonight's cooking"Riley uttered, excusing herself from the mother and daughter moment.
"No I will do the cooking, since that drunkard isn't around to flog me"Mrs Walker uttered, pulling Riley back on her seat.
"Let me do the cooking momma,"Piper insisted.
"NO! Am doing the cooking, the two of you have been walking around because of how scare job is lately, In my opinion I the two of you should take a rest and prepare yourself for tomorrow interview"Mrs Walker
"Okay Mom"Piper giggled.
"Go and change, so that you can wash your school uniform and have one to wear tomorrow"Piper said to her siblings. And walked out of the living room.
Of course, Riley followed.

"We need to prepare hard, because that company chooses professional employees. "Piper uttered, taking off her bra.
"I was thinking of studying a little over night,"Riley uttered, walking around the room nakedly.
"Yeah, I am going to do the same and have more knowledge of his company,"Piper uttered, picking up her flip-flop.
"But did you really mean those words you said at the coffee shop?"Riley asked.
"I mean every word of it"Piper Scoffed, walking inside the bathroom.
"Including you going to the company around 4am "Riley asked, dropping her towel in bewilderment.
"Yes, I mean that. Because punctuality is the sole of business"She said, shutting the bathroom door.
"Wow" were the words that came out of Riley's mouth.

Chapter 4(Did you know me)✿ ✿ ✿ ✿ ✿ ✿ ✿ ✿ ✿The Next Day (3:30am)The loud alarm snapped Piper out of generous sleep, she rolled over her bed tiredly and sat up,"He didn't come home yesterday"She thought and a single tear rolled down her cheek. she couldn't bring herself to believe what her dad did yesterday. She sighed softly and tossed off the wrapper aside and got off her small foam bed, that has no cover or sheets. She slipped her foot inside her flip-flop and stood up. She holt and stared at her best friend who happened to be an orphan and also happen to be a victim of rape. She crouched and tapped her gently on the lap. Not after saying rubbish unconsciously for seconds, she opened her eyes and observed her environment. Her gaze went to the windows and her eyes widened immediately.
Chapter 5 (Save Miss Nova)"Did you perhaps know me before? ''Piper's voice stopped him and his heartbeat skipped a thousand beats.At first his intention was to ignore her words but he found himself turning around to give her a reply."No, have not seen you before"He replied, putting his hand inside his pocket."Then why did you stutter when you pronounce my second name along with my surname?"she questioned."Did I stutter?"He asked and scoffed."Well, if you don't want to admit you stuttered, then it's fine,"Piper uttered and bowed again."Riley, let's go and wait for the staff at the reception"Piper said walking out of his office."Oh!, Yes I'm coming with you" Riley uttered, running after her.✿ ✿ ✿ ✿ ✿ ✿ ✿ ✿ ✿ Collins couldn't believ
Chapter 6 (A Denial)Yes, he's kissing her as if his life depends on it. He even had the guts to wrap his hand around her waist and her neck."Sir"Piper uttered, but Collins took it as his own advantage and kissed her deeply. Piper didn't know when she gave in and kissed him back. Those memories kept flushing into his head, he didn't know how they ended up on his table. Those memories kept flooding in, he made chances to move his hand on her breasts which he succeeded."The touch is the same thing,"Collins thought."I miss you, I really missed you Aurora"He murmured between the kiss, which amazed Piper the most."How can he say he missed me, not as if he knows me"Piper thought,"Could it be that he knows me, but isn't ready to say the truth, why is he keeping it"Piper thought, sti
Chapter 7(He's Back)The two got engrossed with their discussion, within those seconds, a squeaking tire of a vehicle ran over Riley."Riley!!!!"Piper screamed, covering her ears. The world seemed to be spinning around her, her whole body was shivering in fear, she turned around and couldn't believe her eyes. Riley isn't beside her anymore but she's on the other side of the road.Her lips trembled continuously, she couldn't move her legs nor her hand. It was as if she was dreaming, Riley's blood could be visible from the other end."Riley!!"She screamed out again and crossed the busy road without checking if any moving vehicle was coming or not. She almost got hit by a moving car , but she escaped it. She ran over as tears streamed down her cheeks."Ri....let"She stuttered,
Chapter 8(The wrong path, the wrong deeds)"She's in cardiac arrest,"Mr Adams stuttered."Wh...at?"She stuttered and banged the glass that demarcated the van into two."She's in cardiac arrest,"Mr Adams screamed."You are kidding,"Piper asked."Did you think I was joking?"Adams muttered."OMG, Riley please open your eyes...Don't leave me Riley"Piper cried, holding her hand continuously. The van stopped and some nurses rushed in."We are going to give her an injection,"The nurse uttered."Which type?" Piper asked."An adrenaline injection"The nurse replied and Piper nodded."Are you sure she will be okay?"Mr Adams asked."She will,"The nurse replied and the van zoomed off.
Chapter 9(The day's aren't gone)What??"Collins exclaimed."Your daddy asked you to do this??"Kiara stuttered, staring at June as if she's seeing a ghost."Why will Adams tell his kids to do things like this?"Collins thought and sighed deeply."Did you Dad really hate me?"Kiara pouted as a single tear rolled down her cheeks."No Kiara,"Juniper said, wiping her tears."Why are so soft Juniper?"June yelled, stressing out her tiny voice."You should apologize for your mistakes June"Collins uttered."And why should I, not as if you are my guardian?"She scoffed, dragging June on her feet."Wow, I still can't believe she's six years old, this six year old kid is really rude. She was rude, not spoiled,"Collins thought."Don't talk to my dad like that,"Kiara yell
Chapter 10(Stay Away)"Wrapped it back, I will prepare food for you when I get home."He uttered, packing his car properly."We are here sweetheart"Mr Walter uttered, getting down from his car. But he was astonished after Piper was full of blood."Aurora"He stuttered, forgetting his daughter."I wonder what's wrong with him"Kiara thought about getting down from his car with her back bag. She shut the door and still saw how dad was staring at something. She turned around and gaze came in contact with the nurses. She wasn't sure of who he was staring at, the loud horn from another vehicle snapped her out of those thoughts."Daddy, someone is horning,"Kiara uttered, shaking his arm."Oh, yes. "He stuttered moving away from the road."Old bug"Kiara called."That's my nickname, how did you get to know
Chapter 11 (Little Kiara's Secret) "You should have watched where you are going okay!"Kiara half yelled, pouting her mouth together. "Am sorry dear"She apologized. "Aurora,"Mr. Walter stuttered. "Sir..."She stuttered, looking at his face. "What happened to you?"He asked. "Riley and I got into an accident"she uttered, wiping her tears. Mr Walter panicked and touched her cheeks so quickly which took Kiara in a wide astonishment. He rushed his words"Are you okay?, Are you fine? Is Riley okay, any progress with the treatment?? Have you gotten your tummy food?" He bumped her with a lot of questions, which she can't even pick one and reply to. "They aren't doing anything, no one is available"She cried. "Daddy! You should call doctor Murphy to treat her, her head
