Falling In Love With A Rival Novels & Stories

She hurriedly swallowed back her words. "Cynthia? Why are you here?!" Iris frowned, a bit unhappy. "Why can't I be here?" Cynthia said coldly, looking at Iris in an unfriendly light. They were love rivals, after all. The two of them looked at each other for a long time. There seemed to be sparks between them. Neither of them were willing to take a step back! Cynthia knew that Iris was Leon's ex-girlfriend, and knew that Leon did not forget about Iris. She already saw Iris as her greatest love rival!

Everyone has tabs and blanks, but if everyone's tabs and blanks are the same, they can't be put together. Chris Gordon thought that the two of them were too much alike, which led to these awkward pairings. When they upset people together, it's fine, but when they don't, they can be aggressive and compete in almost everything. Because of this, they have similar personalities, so it wasn't a surprise that they also liked the same things. They would fight over the same shirt, the same video game character, and even the last piece of braised fish in the cafeteria. The woman they like is the same, too.

He flounced out in a seconds. Damn! That bastard rejected her again! Her heart arched. She was slowly falling for Daniel. Could this contracted marriage be made real?

I forced myself not to snort or even roll my eyes. Homer and Alexander weren’t just trying to win me back. They were competing. Their rivalry became evident in every little thing: who could leave the most thoughtful and poetic notes, the prettiest flowers, who could remember the smallest details about me, who could prove they were the better choice. It was ridiculous—not to mention suffocating. And yet, the only man who wasn’t competing was the one who already had my heart. Even though Alpha Azriel was not here by my side, I tried to calm my raging heart and growling wolf.

He is the king of Silverstone, and speaking against your king is an offense that can make you bankrupt. Annalise is burning with rage. She thought Leo's intrest in Esme is purely platonic. But his actions today are nothing but his claim on Esme. "This can't be. Leo is mine. No one can marry him" Annalise fumed with anger. Russell huffed feeling bitter. 'So Mr. Ashford is in love with Esme. Who can resist falling for someone like Esme?' he thought feeling regretful that he couldn't get Esme now. He was ready to compete with Noah for Esme's affection. But no one can compete with Leo Ashford.

The lie came out, smooth as poison: “I’m not here to contend with you, Aria. I'm not here to play the game of rivalry either. I’m attracted to you, I’m… drawn to you. More than I’ve ever been to anyone.” He stepped closer. “Let me be more than just another admirer. Let me stand beside you. Not as a rival. But as someone who loves you.” The word hung in the air like smoke. Love. From him.? I thought in silence. I didn’t move or even blink. I just stared at him. Because I’d seen this performance before,back when I was softer, when I still believed a pretty lie could be a truth in disguise. Now I know better. So I let him drown in his own words.

A little Cliffhanger cuties😉: Later that night, as Rival finally closes her eyes, she hears it again — three slow, deliberate taps and rival angrily stands up to go check.... muttering to herself, whatever this bastard came for it better be good.

He looked like he wanted to say more, but he just shrugged and said, “I mean, if I were her, I would definitely choose him over you. He’s a big catch, even for Sonya.” I nodded my head in agreement, even though it was hurting. It was the truth. As I am, I’m not even worthy of being called a love rival. “It’s okay. Everything is going to be fine. Just be careful—don’t get too carried away, okay?” He encouraged me. “Also, if you ever meet up with Mr. Regnald, don’t forget to mention me.” He got up to leave. “I gotta go now. Oh! Tag along, I promised you dinner, right?” he remembered as he got to the doorstep.
