Chapter 8

"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.

Mr Adams turned his attention to Piper who wasn't in her right mind.

"Do ...you ....still ... recognize... me?"Mr Adams stuttered.

Piper raised her head up and scoffed.

"Do I know you??.. Piper asked and scoffed.

"Yes, you know me"Mr Adams stuttered

"Why has everyone been saying these words since this morning? Mr Walter even has the gut to kiss me thinking maybe I am someone he knows."Piper half yelled.

"Collins kissed you"Mr Adams stuttered, fisting his hand.

"Hey,,, don't try to act nice okay. You are a murderer okay!"Piper reminded.

The word murderer kept ringing in his ears repeatedly.

"It's like I will have to kill you thousands of times"Mr Adams thought, glaring at Piper.

Collins, threw his suit jacket on his bed and exhaled tiredly. He undressed himself and wore his white robe.

He ran his hand through his hair crazily, he sat down on his bed and pulled out the first shelf. He kissed the picture and a single tear rolled down his cheek as he traced his hand on the picture.

Those memories kept coming into his head rapidly, everything felt as if it was yesterday.

"Where are you Aurora? Please come back to me. Have been through a lot of things without you with me."Collins cried, holding the picture tightly.

"I don't know if this Piper of a girl is you or not. I don't know what to do. I just have to wait till I get the details I need."He stuttered, talking to her picture. He breathed out and stood up. His phone rang out, he turned around and picked the call.

? Hello Richard"He uttered.

? Hello sir Walter"His driver say.

? What is Richard?", Collins asked.

? Kiara is still in school, you told me not to pick her from school, that you are actually planning to surprise her"Richard reminded.

?Oh that's true, I totally forget that one also. And so forgetful, thanks for calling me Richard"Collins shouted and ended the call.

"I need to freshen up, Kiara is still in school"He thought and rushed inside his bathroom.

Mr Walter is a famous man in his daughter's school as always, he's a celebrity on his own... Same goes with Mr Adams. Who happened to have his kids in Collins daughter's school. But it seems these girls aren't on good terms.

She sat on the small bench waiting for her driver.

"He's not always late like this"She thought

She itched her neck and had legs crossed as usual, she sipped her fruit juice in a classic way.

"Kiara"her classmates called.

"What is this time around?"Kiara muttered.

"I just called your name and you yelled, you are always short tempered"June scoffed.

"Did I yell, am I only waiting for my driver okay!" She fired back. And Yes, my mood is not good today" she scoffed.

"Always in a bad mood,"June scoffed.

"What are you trying to say?"Kiara asked.

"Anyway, daddy said we shouldn't talk to you"Juniper added

"I have a lot of respect for your dad, just because your dad and my dad aren't talking doesn't mean we should be like them"Kiara uttered, getting down from the bench.

The twins mimicked her and laughed heretically.

"Have been acting like a fool just to maintain a good relationship with these two, it's high time I show them who the heiress of the Walters is" Kiara thought and stopped.

"What if daddy gets angry at me because of them again? It has been three months since I saw him. Am tired of staying at Grandma's house"She pouted and reasoned again.

"Let me just serve it to them in a hot soup"she thought and turned around to face the twins.

"Have been trying to be cool with the two of you, why did your daddy have to bring the two of you to my new school. Must all the Adams after people's wants and mostly my peaceful life and family can't believe Mr Adams gave to two fools"Kiara half yelled.

"What?"The twins exclaimed.

"How dare you talk back to us?"They screamed.

"Just because I'm keeping mute doesn't make me a fool, daddy told me to be a good girl so that momma will be proud of me"Kiara uttered, picking up her yellow back bag.

Unfortunately, the twins are fast enough to pull her bag which made her fall on her butt.

"Eeewwwww, "You look like a pig right now."June, who happened to be the first, laughed. Juniper scoffed and crouched to Kiara's level.

"How fun and scary you look,"She whispered. June smirked and poured her milk juice on Kiara, who won't stop shedding tears.

"I will tell my daddy for you"She cried and tried to stand up but feel wobbly.

"You shouldn't have been born Kiara,"June uttered and sprinkled some sand on her face.

"Kiara!!"she had her name and turned around.

"Daddy,"She cried. Mr Walter ran over where she was and gasped on seeing how dirty she was.

"What happened here??"Mr Walter asked the twins.

"Daddy, they beat me,"Kiara stuttered.

"What??,, Why didn't you fight back?"He half yelled.

Kiara shivered in fear"I was obeying your words daddy"She stuttered, crying heavily.

"It's fine, always be a good girl huh"Mr Walter uttered, and kissed her forehead.

He raised his head up and saw Adams' two daughters.

"Must you be evil towards her"he asked, still wondering how wicked they are.

"We are sorry sir?"Juniper apologized.

"Why are you apologizing Juniper?"Her twin sister scolded.

"You should apologize to Mr Walter,"Juniper scolded.

"Why should I? I was doing what he said I should do,"June scoffed.

"Who?"Juniper half yelled.

"Calm down okay, it was Dad. Dad said I should make her miserable"June uttered with no remorse.

"What??"Collins exclaimed.

"Your daddy asked you to do this??"Kiara stuttered, staring at June as if she's seeing a ghost.
