Semua Bab Stuck Between Two Alpha Heir’s: Bab 41 - Bab 50

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

“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

Piper stared at him, her mind struggling to catch up with his words, like what he said made no sense. She paused, looking up at him, swallowing as she gathered her thoughts. “What do you mean?” she asked softly. Archie's gaze was raw with a mixture of frustration and pain.“Earlier,” he began “You acted like you didn’t care. But now, suddenly, my wounds… they affect you?” His voice cracked slightly, betraying the hurt he was trying to hide. Piper could feel the weight behind his words.Her lips parted, searching for words, but they refused to come. She swallowed hard, forcing a sigh past her throat. “Look… I’m sorry for what happened. If Rollins knew the truth, he wouldn’t have touched you.”Archie shook his head sharply, cutting her off. “This isn’t about Rollins, Piper.” His eyes fell to the first aid kit lying on the grass. “You look at me like you’re trying to tell me something, but the next moment… you’re all over him.”“I-I didn’t mean for you to feel that way,” she admitted, he

Piper stood in a stunned silence, shocked to the core. The cafeteria had fallen into a heavy, suffocating silence. The only sound that seemed to linger was the memory of the drink splashing across her body, a wet slap of cold liquid that now clung to her skin and her clothes.She drew in a shaky breath she hadn’t even realized she had been holding since the moment Elsa’s hand had lifted the cup from the tray.She stood there, frozen. Her clothes were ruined. Her shirt clung to her body, soaked through. The sticky scent of pineapple hit her nose, thick and sugary. Droplets of the drink slid down her cheeks. Her eyelashes fluttered rapidly as she blinked the liquid away, keeping it from stinging her eyes.Slowly, strands of her wet hair sticking to her forehead, Piper lifted her gaze and met Elsa’s expression. It was a mixture of fury and irritation. “What the hell is wrong with you, Piper?!” Elsa yelled, her voice cutting through the silence.“...” Piper opened her mouth, but nothin

The voice over the hallway speaker repeated the announcement twice, slowly and echoing faintly against the lockers.“Rollins Lancaster and Archie Quinn, report to Mr. Brown’s office immediately.”Then silence.Archie’s heart did a startled flip in his chest. Mr. Brown wanted to see him? Them? Together?“Great,” Archie muttered under his breath. “This can’t be good.”He started down the hallway, striding through curious students who whispered and threw glances his way. At the far turn, he nearly collided with the last person he wanted to see heading in the same direction.Rollins. Instantly, Archie's expression turned cold. Rollins slowed the instant he noticed Archie, his shoulders straightening, his jaw hardening. The hostility between them remained heavy. Archie folded his arms. Rollins lifted his chin.They headed towards the door and for a few seconds, neither of them said a word, both silently daring the other to speak first.Finally, Rollins scoffed loudly. “What is this abou
