All Chapters of A NIGHT WITH MY EX'S RIVAL. : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

CHAPTER 21Tulip's POV “I trusted you! But all you ever did was drag Nevermore on the mud.” Alpha Peter barked. His voice, cold and filled with rage. “Hadn't I warned you? That losing this game would end your career? And even cost this school a whole even more!” He barked. I had absolutely nothing to say as tears streamed down my already burning cheeks. I had given it my best, maybe it was just not meant to be I said to myself, remembering how hard we had trained, morning and night. I reached my limit on several occasion but I kept pushing, harder than I had ever done, but at the end of all the struggles, we lost, I felt fresh hot tears dropped down my cheeks. My heart heavier as the minutes passed. “I knew it! We shouldn't have given her a huge responsibility, I knew she was not up to the task.” Madame Rebecca scoffed. “What a waste,” she spat.“What would you have me do?” Mr Peter asked, confused.“There were other different options sir, we just didn't explore other alternati

Tulip’s POVUpon waking up, my head was aching so badly that it was like tiny drums were beating inside my skull. I rolled over to the other side, I growled, pressing the pillow against my head. as if to suffocate the pounding, pressed a pillow to my head. It felt like someone had hit my head against an invisible wall. Just then, I remembered what had happened yesterday.The fight's memory curled into my mind. Anger immediately replaced my headache. Xavier and Danzo had fought each other ruthlessly like animals struggling over food. I barely confronted any of them yesterday because I was literally high. Why the hell did they decide to kill like that? Right In front of everyone?Weren't they even capable of controlling themselves even once?I got up after so much effort and grabbed my cell phone beside the bed. The light of the screen threatened to make my eyes burst out and I growled in pain. Seventeen fucking missed calls? Were there any special occasions I was missing?

Tulip's POV I slowly found myself walking back to the school garden. That was the only place I knew I could have a peaceful day without any obstruction or anything at all. I took my seat and just decided to scroll through my phone. Maybe I could find something to just while away time when I suddenly heard footsteps getting closer and closer. Then I sniffed the person, and it was Xavier. I couldn't help but groan. Not because I was angry or did not want him around me, but because I didn't want his stress anymore. I looked up, and he stood there, his hands crossed. “Wow, you just really have your way of ignoring me. But it's not possible because I can sniff you out anyway at any time. That's just what makes me so glad about our connection,” he said. Before I could even utter another word, he had already pushed me to a corner and sat down right beside me, placing his hands around my shoulders as I tried to remove it. But he was stronger. “Don't fight it. I don't know why you keep act

Xavier's POV Today definitely did not turn out the way I wanted it to be. Everything just went sideways and that pissed me off so badly. But I guess I don’t have a choice. I just have to accept Tulip’s contract. That’s the only way I can be close to her. Because I don’t think I would ever be able to cope without her. I just need her by my side no matter the consequences. For one year, I might think within one year I can get her to love me. But what if it’s not possible? With Damian in the way and then Danzo, everything just clashes together. It frustrates me so badly. But I guess I don’t have a choice after all. I just have to accept her terms and stick to it. I got home, and just at that moment, my dad’s car drove in. As I rolled my eyes, clearly seeing Damian in the passenger seat, I wasted no time in rushing in. I could already hear my name being called out. “Xavier!” I stopped in my footsteps, slowly turning to Damian and my dad as I shrugged. “What?” “Welcome, Dad,” I s

Tulip's POV I waited patiently at the arcade just as Xavier had said I should. But he was taking quite a while. I picked up my phone and tried calling his number, but it immediately went to voicemail. I felt so pissed as I took my seat, scrolling through my phone, trying to keep myself busy. This is the first time he had ever delayed me recently. He always gave me all his attention, rushing towards me and everything. And now, I don't know why, but I felt like I was so hungry, and I couldn't even resist him. He should just come. I don't care. I’d do it right here in the arcade. Just then, I felt a hand on my shoulder. I immediately smiled and stood up. “Xavier,” I called in excitement but saw that it was Damian. My heart immediately dropped, and my mood changed. “What? What the fuck are you doing here? And why did you just touch me like that? Who gave you the fuck permission to touch me?” I yelled at him, stepping away. “I'm sorry, okay? I didn't want you to run away. I kne
