All Chapters of A NIGHT WITH MY EX'S RIVAL. : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Xavier's POV I immediately stormed out of the classroom after giving an outburst that I was quitting Oki. Yes, I’ll quit it for good. This is the sole reason why my dad always wants me to be better than anyone else, and why he treats me lesser than even someone that is not his own son. I’ll quit it for good and just end everything right now. Even though it is my favorite thing in this world, I just have to let it go to gain my peace of mind. I thought to myself as I kept on walking, thinking about places where I could go and no one would find me. Then I found the perfect place. The perfect place where I always go to pour out all my emotions if I do not want anybody to know about it. I am very good at hiding my emotions from everybody. To the extent that up until now, nobody knows the problems I'm having in my own family and the problems I’m having with my dad. They think I’m just some son of a rich kid, and that was why I was arrogant and rude. But none of them knew anything. They d

Tulip's POV I was inside Xavier's car as we were on our way to his father's house. He was going to Pakistan and move in with me, at least for the meantime. And I was really happy—really happy. Because if he actually accepted not to back down and he accepted to push through with his dreams, I couldn't just watch him back out from his dreams like that. He'd think of me as a bad friend if I couldn't even advise him not to back out from Oki. I couldn't let him ruin his life just because of some stupid people.I thought to myself as I encouraged him, happy that I pushed him to continue playing Oki. I just hoped and prayed his father would allow him to leave. Maybe this is what Xavier actually needs—his own freedom. So he can focus on being the best. He can focus on actually playing Oki, not because of some pressure, but because of himself—because of what he wants and what he is willing to do. And I know this is going to work out. Somehow, I'm going to make it work out. Even if it's the l

Xavier's POV I brought out my suitcase as we had already arrived at Tulip's place. I was nervous but I tried to hide my nervousness. Me staying alone with Tulip at our place seems awkward and everything about it gives me goosebumps. But I just had no choice. I had to do this. She is ready to help me and she is the only one I can trust right now. Of all the people I ever knew, she's the only ally I have. But she's the only one I can trust to fulfill all my dreams and make all my heart's desires come true. I thought to myself as I immediately dragged my suitcase upstairs without following behind. She immediately opened the door for me as, according to her, a roommate was not around. I wouldn't be around for like a while, so it was okay. It felt less awkward since it was just both of us. I think our roommates want something to go on between me and Tulip. There is something Tulip isn't telling me, and I know that a roommate was about to blot it out. The other day I had been here, but sh

XAVIER'S POVI was on my way to a restaurant and actually received a text the night before from my dad's mistress wanting to see me. She has been testing me like that for the past few days and disturbing me that she wants to see me and we had something important to discuss. I wonder what she wants this time. I had actually left the client at Facebook so she wouldn't park down. I had no choice then but to just go see and hear what she wants to say. I did not bother informing Tulip about it as we had already agreed to meet after school and decide on a place where we'd start training, so our training would begin. I immediately drove as fast as I could so I would not miss the time that Tulip and I had set to train.Then, in no time, I got to the place where she had asked me to meet up with Tasha. She sent me the address, and I was already here. I looked around, looking for her. I expected us to already be here because at least she was the one that invited me. So she's not supposed to be

Xavier's POV The drive to the school office was quiet. Tulip kept her eyes on the road, while my hands were steady on the wheel. But I could feel her presence beside me, close enough to notice every subtle movement.I wanted to break the silence by speaking but the words caught in my throat. I wasn’t sure where to start from or if starting at all was a good idea. Finally, I muttered, “You really didn’t have to come with me, you know right?.”She glanced at me briefly, a small smile tugging at her lips. “I know but I wanted to come along with you.”The way she said it made my heart swell, and I felt truly cared for. I couldn’t help but whisper, “Thank you, Tulips” as a blush crept across my cheeks. I quickly turned my gaze to the window, pretending to focus on the passing scenery.About an hour later, we pulled onto the school campus. The sun was dipping lower now, casting long shadows across the walkways. Students walked about, some laughing, some rushing to classes, completely obli
