“What do you think you're doing!?”

“Mom, I—” Before Piper could speak, Sage stormed in, snatching the frame and the crumpled photograph out of her hands. “Don’t touch that!” she barked, clutching both items close to her chest. “You’re not allowed in here. Leave!”

Piper stumbled a step back, stunned. Her mother seemed possessive of both items. She wondered why. “ I-I know,” she stammered, raising her palms slightly. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to—”

Her words faltered when she saw how tightly Sage was holding the picture. “It’s just…” she swallowed hard, her tone softening with a wry smile. “…I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I believe you, Mom.”

Sage froze, her tired eyes, lifting to meet her daughter’s.

Piper took a brave step closer, her voice trembling but sincere. “About Dad being poisoned,” she said again, the faint smile growing on her lips. “I believe you.”

For a moment, Sage said nothing. The silence stretched between them until finally, she placed the frame gently back on t

  • Stuck Between Two Alpha Heir’s   Chapter 44

    “I have wasted so much time dwelling on the past. I want to move on,” Sage whispered, her voice barely audible, but loud enough for Piper to hear. Her eyes were softer now, in contrast to Piper's. She looked peaceful, her gaze sweeping over the flames as a small smile spread on her lips. Ironically, the serenity in her mother's demeanor terrified Piper. “W-what are you saying, Mum?” Piper breathed. Her brows knitted together, her chest tightening as dread pressed against her ribs. She took a shaky step forward. “What do you mean you want to move on? I don't understand”Sage didn’t answer immediately. She only hugged her arms tighter around herself, like she needed to hold her own body together. “What’s not to understand, Piper?” she murmured. “Nothing I do will bring him back.”Her voice cracked at the end. But she forced the words out anyway. Piper felt her stomach sink with each word as Sage continued. “I spent years thinking I was obliged to get justice for his death,” she said

    Little by little, the vast crowd lessened. What remained was a small cluster on the field: the ice hockey team, Piper, Cecil, Elsa, and her circle of friends.“That was a hell of a fight,” Theo said with an amused huff, nudging his friend beside him. “It was a misunderstanding,” Piper corrected quickly. Her voice was composed, but her hands trembled slightly as she lifted a handkerchief and began gently dabbing Rollins’ cheek. He stayed still under her touch, letting her clean the streaks of blood. She deliberately kept her back turned to Archie, refusing to let herself even glance at him.Piper's ears perked up when she heard Elsa. “Oh my chie chie, look at your handsome face,” Elsa pouted, stepping toward Archie with a look of concern. She snapped her fingers. “Napkin.”Her friends handed one over instantly, and she lifted it delicately to Archie’s face, wiping a smear of blood from his jaw.Piper’s stomach tightened painfully. It wasn’t jealousy, she wouldn’t call it that, but so

    Piper’s head was still spinning, panic causing her mind to reel as she sprinted down the hallway toward the football field. Her breathing was ragged, her heart pounding as she ran, while behind her Cecil struggled to keep up.“Piper, slow down!” she wheezed.But Piper didn't even glance behind.The moment she stepped outside, she squinted at the sunlight. The field was swarming with students, lecturers, and members from different teams as if something catastrophic was happening.Which, unfortunately, it was.Piper's mind surged with intensifying panic as she struggled her way through the thick crowd. Archie and Rollins were beyond reason at this point.Earlier, a routine drill session had been happening. Coach Drew was barking orders, the players were running routes, and the sun was blazing hot. It was normal and peaceful.Until Rollins showed up, storming in with a demeanor that screamed fury. His brows were furrowed, his forehead creased, his breath uneven, his fists already clenc

    “You’ve got some nerve, Piper.”Elsa folded her arms across her chest and leaned back against the desk, her chin lifted in her display of superiority. “Coming here to pull this stunt again,” she added, almost gritting. Her cheek still stung from the other day and was still looking a bit reddened despite the amount of ointment she put on it. She had spent days imagining all the ways she would make Piper and Cecil regret everything they had done, all the ways she would remind the school who she was.She should have been basking in her revenge right now, but a certain someone insisted she avoid doing anything ‘foolish’“I’m not here to pick a fight,” Piper said firmly. “And you shouldn’t either.” Her gaze flicked briefly to Elsa’s friends surrounding her, all of them staring at Piper as if she were something they had scraped off the bottom of their shoes.Piper lowered her voice. “I need to speak to you privately. It’s very important.”Elsa let out a loud, dismissive scoff and waved he

    “What terrible news?” Piper blurted out, her voice higher than she intended. Shock washed over her face. The cold, judgmental stares she had been getting in the hallway, Jacob's insults told her it wasn’t something small. But what?Rollins rejecting her and kissing Elsa in front of the whole school? Old news.Her getting back together with Rollins? Everyone had moved on.Her involvement with Archie, the whole “second mate” fiasco, had faded weeks ago.Her being fatherless and a bastard? People still whispered about it, but it was basically history at this point. So what now? What was left for people to chew on?Her mind flicked back to Jacob. The word he threw at her ‘Whore’The insult wasn’t random. It wasn’t about him being rude. He believed something he had heard.Ember’s voice pulled her back. “Piper… the rumor has actually been going around for a while, I think. People just weren’t paying attention. But today…” Ember inhaled sharply. “Today it got a photo attached as proof.”“A

    Jacob froze, mid-bite, the sandwich hovering inches away from his mouth. He turned slowly, his eyes locking onto Piper. At first, he turned to her with a startled look, but in an instant, it disappeared, his eyes narrowing evenly, with a hint of annoyance flickering through them. He gradually lowered the sandwich to the table. “What do you want?” he asked coldly. Piper noticed the rudeness in his tone, but quickly brushed it off her shoulder as she took a seat opposite him with a warm smile spreading on her lips. “Relax,” she said lightly to ease the tension, glancing at the sandwich before looking back at him. “I won't tell anyone about this,” Jacob's eyes narrowed down, the frown on his face deepening. “Great.” “Great?” Piper raised a brow, deliberately overlooking his obvious sarcasm. “Nice to see you too.” She set her bag on the desk, her eyes locking onto him. To her surprise and horror, he sighed and began to pack up, pulling up his bag and the container for his half eaten
