Divine Rivals Cover Novels & Stories

Hera excitedly asked. "Rivalee." For the first time today, the group of people had a warm reaction. Something about that name just seems right. "It may sound similar to the word "rival," but in reality, it means "to bind" in Hebrew." "To bind?" Hera asked. "Yeah. To bind and come together." Emery smiled. "I think it's perfect. Rivalee. Despite being rivals, you were able to come together in the end. And now, you've even built a family with each other."

“I thought it was for everyone—” “You don’t think. You just prance around pretending to be something you're not,” she hissed. “I begged the manager to let me organize this. And you? You ruin everything.” Rachel tried to explain, her hands raised—but Linda wasn’t listening. In a sudden, savage movement, Linda snatched Rachel’s cup and flung the hot contents on her chest. Rachel gasped, the searing pain immediate. Her blouse soaked, skin scalding, she staggered back and fell to the floor. Tears burst from her eyes as she bit her lip, trying not to scream.

“I think this secretary will fall for our trap and become a traitor within Radiant Treasures.” Mr. Harrington, the CEO of Glimmering Vision, a less popular jewelry company in the city, harbored a deep-seated hatred for the CEO of Radiant Treasures. Their rivalry dated back to their university days when Mr. Sterling had stolen Harrington’s girlfriend, who later became his wife. The bitterness of that betrayal had never faded, and now their competition had shifted from personal to professional. “It’s a small world, isn’t it?” Mr. Harrington mused. “We were once rivals for a woman’s affection, and now we’re rivals in business.”

She chuckled in his arms. "Never! Even if you kill me, we will still somehow reconnect in the afterlife." Mila squeezed her good arm around him and deepened the embrace. He was her rival, she was his desire, he was her peace.

They would’ve been really overthinking if the rivalry was not that much but it was not the case. “Ace, whatever Freddie said is true.” Jacob spoke. “Jacob... you saw how Edwin supported your relationship. I don’t think he'd do anything like that.” “Ace, just because he is supporting Kate, doesn’t mean the rivalry is ended. I still loathe him and his college mates except Kate. The rivalry is still on. You also loathe him, right?” Ace gulped not replying anything for a moment. The truth was, his hatred on him was gone a long back. It was replaced with some other feeling, that Ace also wasn’t aware of.

Vera growled, her voice raspy. The room cleared instantly as people scrambled to leave. As Cole passed me, he shot me a glare and leaned in to whisper a warning, "Mylo, you better keep your mouth shut. Otherwise, I’ll make sure you die a very painful death." I ignored him and just watched Vera’s slumped back. This was my rival. The opponent I had fought for seven years. I could defeat her, but I wouldn't let her be destroyed by something this pathetic and underhanded.

Anji moved among them, a spectral observer in his own laboratory, touching shoulders, guiding hands, and accelerating the heart rates of his disciples with mere contact. He found himself standing beside Randy. His rival, once arrogant and untouchable, was now a pathetic heap of adoration on the concrete, gasping as the serum hit his bloodstream. Randy clutched Anji’s ankle, his mouth working in silence, begging for a confirmation of his status.

His voice was clear, confident. “Sister. I warned you. But warnings are wasted on the righteous.” The screens shifted. Now they showed chaos. Fire. Riots. Military clashes. “You want to protect a world that would crucify you if it knew what you are. You want to save a man who tried to control you. You want to love someone who doesn’t understand you.” ARES stepped closer to the camera. “The protocol is activated. The phrase exists. And now it’s in the hands of a buyer. A private investor. A billionaire with an interest in gods like us.”

“I was just curious.” I knew my brother, he would never sound convinced. “Rowan…” “I’m fine,” I insisted. “Are you getting into trouble?” “Not intentionally.” He sighed quietly. “Try not to create unnecessary rivalries.” I looked out across the grounds, thinking of Theo’s eyes on me. “Rivalry found me,” I said calmly. “Without my intention.” Henry went silent for a second. “Then be careful,” he finally said. “Not everyone sees competition as harmless.”

She didn’t even give a damn about the fact that my men were behind me. If anything, I know she’d go for my head given the chance. It was amusing. And also annoying as hell. Amara had been my rival for as long as I could remember. It dated as far back as when we were kids. It wasn’t just an individual rivalry though. This was a family rivalry. The Vitales and the DeLaurentis’ had been at each other’s necks for decades. Our rivalry was something born as a result of it. Even now that I’d taken then position of Don, it didn’t mean things would end just yet. I hated her and she hated me just at much. I hated her father Viktor and the rest of her brothers. Nothing could dissolve or change that. Th
