Cameron POV

My stomach flipped and my thumb hovered over the answer button like it weighed a million pounds.

I swiped to answer and placed the phone against my ears,"Hey."

"Hey," she said, and her voice was softer than I expected it to be. There wasn't any judgment or ice to it, it was comfortable. "You okay?"

I let out this weird half-laugh and it was the kind that sounds like you’re about to explode but you’re trying not to. “Define okay.”

“I saw the picture. I think everyone has.”

Of course she had.

I sighed and leaned back against the cold bleacher, my heart bouncing around like it had no idea what speed to settle on. “It’s not what it looks like.”

“So explain it to me, because I was very surprised to see that.”

“The reason it was posted was because I was with Brandon and Drake wanted to make me frustrated,” I blurted out.

“Wait—Brandon? Like, student president Brandon? You’re dating him now?”

“It’s fake,” I said flatly. “The whole Brandon thing—it’s not real.”

She grew quiet, I

  • Rival's Marriage Agreement    Chapter 31

    Cameron’s POVThe second we shut the bathroom door behind us, both Brandon and I jumped like we'd been caught making out by a teacher , which, to be fair, wasn't too far from the truth.I yanked my phone from the makeshift stand on the sink and stopped the recording with shaking hands. “Okay,” I breathed, “Let’s see who was the fucker creeping on us.”We hovered over my phone screen like it held the answer to life’s biggest mystery. I rewound the footage, skipping past the fake flirting, the water droplet kiss (yeah, still not over that), and paused the video at the exact moment the doorknob jiggled open.“There,” I whispered, pausing the video at the exact frame.Brandon’s brows pinched, his face leaning in close to mine as we both stared at the small screen. The faintest shadow flickered at the crack beneath the bathroom door,then, boom. A flash of someone holding their phone. Not a full face, but enough of a profile to piece it together.That jawline. That mop of curly brown hair.

  • Rival's Marriage Agreement    Chapter 30

    Cameron’s POVThrowing a party under the excuse of an engagement was probably the dumbest genius idea I’d ever had. I told Brandon it was for us to get the blackmailer ,lure him and set the trap. But let’s be real: maybe I also wanted to see what would happen if we blurred the lines a little more.“You owe me for this,” Brandon muttered as we stood near the makeshift snack table, the diamond ring Brandon got me during our shopping date, glinting on my finger. The frat house was packed. Music thumped, people cheered whenever they passed us, and someone had already started a chant that ended with “Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!”I gave them a smirk and winked. “Patience, children. Let the lovebirds breathe.”Brandon groaned and muttered, “I hate you.”“No, you don’t,” I said sweetly, then took a sip from my Solo cup and whispered, “Tonight, we catch the rat.”As the party wound down, the air thick with sweat, spilled drinks, and too much Axe body spray, I switched to phase two: pretend to be wasted.

  • Rival's Marriage Agreement    Chapter 29

    Cameron POVI should’ve been angry. Furious. Hell, maybe even panicked.Someone was threatening me. Not from the outside, but from within our own circle. Someone who’d looked me in the eye, smiled like we were friends, and then turned around and stabbed me in the back with a screenshot. They were recording us—me and Brandon—and they wanted something. Control, maybe. Or chaos.But it doesn’t matter. Brandon has already caught this coward’s tail, and I will definitely use it to find out who this person is.I walked back into Brandon’s room with my shoulders squared, my mind already ten steps ahead. No dramatics. No flopping on the bed. Just quiet, directed intent.Brandon was still sitting on the edge of the mattress, phone in hand, head bowed like he was reading something important. He looked up when I entered, eyes scanning my face.“You okay?” he asked.“No,” I said flatly. “But I know what we’re going to do.”He raised a brow. “Go on.”I shut the door behind me and leaned against i

  • Rival's Marriage Agreement    Chapter 28

    Brandon’s POVI wasn’t sure what I expected after last night. Maybe for Cameron to wake up tangled in my sheets, maybe to make pancakes and pretend like we were normal. Maybe for him to kiss me again, slow and lazy, like we had all the time in the world.What I didn’t expect? Him leaving first thing in the morning… to meet Erica.Yeah. Her.The girl he said he liked. The one he kept insisting was just a friend. I felt like someone had slammed a door in my chest and locked it from the other side. But of course, I didn’t let it show. I wasn’t that guy.So when he came back, hair messy from the wind and cheeks still flushed like he’d laughed too much, I just crossed my arms and asked, “You went to see Erica?”His eyes flicked up, like he was expecting a trap. “Yeah. I did.”Cool. No lies. That was something, right?“Just be careful,” I said, forcing my voice to stay steady. “If people see you two together, we’ll have to spin the narrative. PR will be all over it.”He blinked. “Oh. Right

  • Rival's Marriage Agreement    Chapter 27

    Cameron’s POVI couldn't look Erica in the eyes without getting a full-blown flashback of last night.She’d called me this morning asking to meet for coffee, and honestly, I leapt at the excuse. Not because I didn’t want to be around Brandon , God, no. But because I needed a breather. His house had become this dangerous bubble of need and orgasms and whispered promises. My body still felt like it was floating, and I wasn’t sure how to plant my feet back on the ground.Every nerve in my body remembered him,vividly, achingly. His hands anchoring my waist like I might slip away, the tender graze of his lips trailing along my jaw, and the way he whispered my name… like it was something sacred. Like I was his favorite secret.The memory of his mouth on my skin,biting, marking, claiming,sent a shiver cascading down my spine. Not once. Not in one place. But everywhere. It was as if he had drawn a map of himself across my body, and now, every inch of me hummed with the memory of him. Of us.B

  • Rival's Marriage Agreement    Chapter 26

    Brandon POV“Now it's time to take that ass of yours."The words are heavy with meaning. I feel it in the pit of my stomach, like I've swallowed rocks and shook them up. He needs to know he belongs to me and no-one else and if I had to fuck that into him, then so be it.Cameron steps into my space, backing me against the table. His lips hover over the shell of my ear."I want you to fuck me raw. Take my ass and fill it so good." He peppers the words over my neck, jaw, and mouth, kissing and licking the words from my skin once he's said them.He must either be high from jerking himself or still drunk from the alcohol.Whatever it was, I didn't care.I curse as most of my primary brain function shorts out. Tilting my head up, I lick and suck the skin under his chin and down his neck before pulling his head down so I can reach his mouth. Our tongues wrap around each other, flicking and caressing, until the kiss grows fevered. We become frantic and we fumble onto the bed, a mass of bare

  • Rival's Marriage Agreement    Chapter 25

    Cameron’s POVI stood there with my shirt half open and my heart thundering like it was trying to claw its way out of my chest.Brandon leaned back on the couch, his drink in hand, eyes on me—not cold this time, but quiet. Focused. Like I was the only thing in the room that mattered.“Kneel, Cameron.”My breath caught.I blinked and I felt heat rushing to my face. “You’re serious?”He didn’t answer. Just took another sip, patient. Calm.“You really think I’m going to—what, just drop down because you said so?”He didn’t flinch. Just watched me. Like he knew every thought running through my head and was giving me the space to wrestle with them.“I won’t beg,” I said, crossing my arms—though my voice wasn’t as steady as I wanted.A pause. Then, gently, he set his glass down and stood.The air shifted.He didn’t storm toward me. He didn’t raise his voice.He just walked.Slow, steady steps.And I couldn’t move.When he reached me, he didn’t grab or demand. He just stood close, his presenc

  • Rival's Marriage Agreement    Chapter 24

    Cameron’s POVThe car was a bit too quiet.Too dark.Too full of him.Brandon had one hand on the wheel, the other casually tapping the gear shift like he wasn’t two seconds away from exploding. His jaw was clenched tight, and his eyes flicked to the road like they couldn’t stand to land on me again.But mine? They kept slipping to him.I had never seen him like that before, he made me feel so fragile and tiny just from his gaze.My mind went to how his eyes changed,how they darkened the moment our lips touched. Not just darker in color, but deeper. Wilder. Like a storm rolling in across a calm sea.There was heat there , undeniable, raw,but it wasn’t just lust. It was something heavier. Like hunger, yes, but also frustration and need and the sharp edge of restraint barely holding together.It was the way he looked at me like I was already his. Like he didn’t just want me,he needed me.And God help me, I wanted to drown in that look.My lips were still tingling. Still swollen from th

  • Rival's Marriage Agreement    Chapter 23

    Cameron's POV The bar was louder than I expected. Flashing lights, sticky floors, and music that made my ribs vibrate. Basically, a headache wrapped in neon.Daniel handed me a drink the second we stepped in. I didn’t ask what it was. I just took it, downed half in one go, and tried not to grimace.“So,” he said, shouting over the music as he leaned in closer. "You and Brandon, huh?"I blinked at him, confused. "What?"He wiggled his eyebrows. “Never pegged you for the type to keep a relationship that quiet. Damn, Cam. You really had us all fooled.”I almost choked on my drink. "We're not—he's not—God, no. Don’t bring him up. Seriously."Daniel raised his hands like I’d pointed a gun at him. “Okay, okay. Chill. Just saying. That pic of you two? All over my feed.”I groaned, dragging a hand down my face. The stupid viral photo, it seems like I won't leave this down."Anyway," I muttered, shifting the conversation before my brain exploded. "Any updates on the anonymous account? Please
