Chapter 7
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, looking like a lost sheep. she wailed loudly and touched riley as tears kept streaming down her cheeks....
"someone should save my sister"piper cried out, not minding the blood around her, she held riley tightly on her chest.
people surrounded them seconds after her loud wail, some called 911 while some called the cops.
"how did it happen??"a woman asked piper, who was already miserable.
"some....one... should...save...her..."piper stuttered...

mr adams and some officials sat around the rectangular table which is blue in colour, he has been trying his best to get back the contract mr walter made him lose. but words couldn't explain how angry he was at that moment. persuading them seems impossible.
"we have been doing this business for ages, lucas,"mr adams muttered.
"everybody knows we have been into this business, but these people here are officials, high class officials. to them, this will be your first time adams" lucas explained.
"there has to be some other way, "mr adams muttered, fisting his hand.
"i don't think there is, because they are not accepting you again. "lucas uttered.
"i will talk to them myself"mr adams muttered, turning his attention to them.
"it's pointless sitting here lucas, "one of the officials uttered standing up on his feet.
"give me a second chance sir"mr adams pleaded.
"we know the contract is worth billions but we can't give a reckless human like you such a contract"the man uttered, gritting his teeth.
"smuggling things like that is not going to be easy. and that idiot ruin thing's for me"mr adams muttered furiously.
the officials picked up their files and shook hands with lucas.
"if you have another client, lucas, email us,"one of the officials said.
"okay sir"lucas smiled and saw them off.
"i will ruin you collins,"mr adams muttered furiously and stormed out the glassy office.
he bummed into lucas on his way out.
"are you going already?"lucas asked.
"as you can see,"mr adams scoffed.
"there are some contracts on the ground, do you want some?"lucas asked.
"what are they worth?"he asked.
"thousands of dollars,"lucas replied, expecting his answer.
"am not interested, when you have a better offer let me know"mr adams muttered and walked out.
"that's why walter is better than him, i will offer mr walter those contracts"lucas thought and scoffed, walking back to his office.

mr adams kept cursing below his breath as he drove angrily, his speed limits are above the normal limits. his driving skills are always perfect but what he was driving that moment was a reckless driving,
his phone ran into his pocket which drew his attention away from the road, he put his hand down his pocket and brought it out of his pocket, still not having his attention on the road.
unfortunately, by the time he could raise up his head he ran over something. he wasn't sure of what he ran over but he was sure he ran over something, and it seems serious because of how fast he was driving.
his hand trembles away from the steering of his car.
"i didn't cause that accident right?"he asked no one in particular, obviously talking to himself.
"yes you did it adams"he uttered again, hitting his head. he ran out of the car and crossed the busy road.
he was really scared of how badly people would insult him. he kept regretting why he didn't take some guys with him, not even a driver.
he stopped a few steps away from the victim and a young lady. he exhaled and summoned courage.
"i'm so sorry for this accident,"mr adams stuttered. piper sniffed back her nose and stared at the murder.
"au ... ro ... ra"mr adams stuttered and shifted his legs backwards immediately.
"why didn't you drive slowly??"a woman asked and hit him on the shoulder.
"i killed her right, i killed aurora"mr adams stuttered, still shifting his legs backwards. the loud siren brought back his senses. he looked at how piper was running around to get their bags and riley's unpresentable shoes.
his eyes widened immediately, when he felt a loud slap on his cheeks. the same woman slapped him, he couldn't believe his eyes.
"get inside the ambulance van and pay for your reckless driving, pay for everything, and pray that girl is alive. i saw how you were driving crazily, you almost knocked me down with your rotten car. and don't forget this, am going to give my statement to the cops "the woman insulted and kept pushing him angrily inside the ambulance van
mr adams had the urge to fight back, but he couldn't because of how reporters had surrounded the whole scene.
seconds later, he felt the moving van. he dial a number on his phone and call his driver to come and get his car key at montero hospital so that he can have the car back at his mansion.
he focuses his attention on piper. he really felt like urinating because of the things was thinking.
"did she come back to life, or is she someone else"mr adams thought, still feeling uncomfortable.
"why did you hit her?"piper screamed at him with a burning fury visible in her veins.
"am so sorry"he stuttered.
"really! you are sorry, did you think this is a joke to you, you were speeding so fast. we were in the left lane and you hit her to the extent that she landed on the other road in the left lane again. pray she survives this or else i will ruin your reputation.
seconds after their arguments they heard a rapid breathing.
"riley !"piper panicked.
"what's wrong with her?"mr adams asked.
"you are asking me,"piper yelled at him. trying her best to calm riley down.
"she's in cardiac arrest"mr adams stuttered.
"wh...at?"she stuttered.
