Chapter 3
(Priceless Tears)
“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.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
“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.
