Rivals In Love
Blurb:
Two families, one battlefield.
For generations, the Kavanaughs and the Monteros have been at war, boardrooms clashing, businesses sabotaged, and grudges passed down like family heirlooms. Under their parents' iron-fisted rule, both empires have thrived, but there’s no room for weakness when rivalry runs in the blood.
At the Worldwide CEO Summit, however, the game changes. Arrogant, driven Adam Kavanaugh expects to spar with his lifelong rival, Mateo Montero. Instead, he’s blindsided by a fierce and captivating substitute: Sofia Montero. Bold, brilliant, and beautiful, Sofia is everything he wasn’t prepared for and everything he can’t seem to resist.
As Adam’s infatuation grows, so does the risk of betrayal. Sofia finds herself caught between duty to her family and the pull of her own heart. Old wounds resurface, business battles escalate, and secrets threaten to destroy the fragile bond growing between them.
In a world where love is the ultimate vulnerability, can Adam and Sofia bridge the chasm of rivalry? Or will the sins of their families condemn them to a love that was never meant to be?
This is a tale of hate turned passion, family legacies in turmoil, and the cost of choosing love over loyalty.

Chapter: Kiss Me AgainThree agonizing days passed, but the storm engulfing the Montero name refused to subside. With every passing hour, new evidence surfaced like fuel to an already raging fire, leaving Sofia and Mateo scrambling to douse flames that seemed impossible to contain.More incriminating documents were leaked to the press, emails allegedly exposing bribes to government officials, secret offshore accounts under the Montero name, and contracts painted as unfair, unethical deals with suppliers. Headlines continued to churn out damning accusations that painted the Montero Corporation as a tainted empire. Social media turned into a battlefield, with influencers and activists dissecting every scandalous detail.Sofia barely left the office during those three days, each sunrise marking another failure to contain the crisis. Meetings with board members ended in defeat as more investors jumped ship, unwilling to ride the sinking wave. Calls to reassure international partners went unanswered, leaving un

Chapter: I Am Sorry.......AdamThe hospital corridors buzzed with activity, though muted enough to suit the somber atmosphere of the place. Adam walked into his grandfather’s room, his sharp suit crisp as if he hadn’t spent the night restlessly awake.Inside, his grandmother, Valerie, sat beside his aunt Melda. They were leaning close, whispering softly. When they saw Adam, they straightened, relief flashing across their faces.“Adam, you're here,” Valerie said with a faint smile, though her tired eyes betrayed her fatigue.“How’s he doing?” Adam asked, his voice calm yet laced with concern.Valerie sighed deeply. “He’s stable, thank God. But he hasn’t woken up yet. The doctors said it’s a matter of time. We’re just praying.”Adam nodded, glancing at his grandfather. The elder Kavanaugh, once a towering figure of authority in the family, looked fragile now, surrounded by machines keeping him tethered to life.Valerie’s gaze softened, and she reached for Adam’s hand. “Adam, my dear, life is fragile. Look at us. Your

Chapter: Bad ThingsIn a dimly lit private room that reeked of smoke and metal, Rodrigo sat at the head of a long wooden table. Opposite him were two men dressed in dark clothing, their rugged appearances and cold demeanors radiating danger. The flickering light from a single bulb above cast shadows that danced ominously across their faces. Rodrigo leaned back in his chair, a sinister smile playing on his lips as he laid out his plans. "We have to make sure the Montero company suffers irreversible losses," Rodrigo began, his voice a low growl. His fingers tapped rhythmically against the armrest of his chair. "Target their partnerships first, their allies are their backbone. Create scandals, manipulate contracts, and ruin their reputation. When their foundation crumbles, the rest will fall apart." One of the men, with a scar running down his cheek, nodded. "We've already started spreading rumors in the right circles. It'll be subtle, but effective. In a few weeks, investors will start pulling out." "Go

Chapter: A Planned Accident The room was dimly lit, a haze of smoke curling in the air as the man leaned back in his ornate chair, a cigar balanced between his fingers. The soft leather creaked as he shifted slightly, exhaling a cloud of smoke that veiled his sharp, chiseled features. His piercing gray eyes glinted in the faint light, a mixture of amusement and menace dancing within them.The heavy oak door creaked open, and a tall figure dressed in all black stepped inside. His presence was silent, almost predatory, as he moved across the room and placed an envelope on the polished mahogany desk. Without waiting for an invitation, the man in black stepped back, his hands clasped behind him.The seated man crushed the cigar into the ashtray, reaching for the envelope with deliberate slowness. Pulling out the contents, his expression darkened with intrigue. It was a series of photos. His finger traced along one in particular, a woman with familiar eyes, a fierce confidence in her posture despite her small frame.

Chapter: Mr. HeroMinutes later…..Sofia finished speaking, her voice trembling with emotion as she recounted everything, the stolen moments with Adam, his words, his kiss, and the turmoil in her heart. She looked at Diana with tearful eyes, waiting for judgment or criticism, her heart pounding as if awaiting a final verdict.Diana sat frozen, her mouth slightly open, her shock apparent. Her wide-eyed gaze seemed to pierce Sofia as she tried to process the whirlwind of revelations. For a moment, the room was so silent that Sofia could hear the ticking of the clock on the wall.Then Diana exhaled deeply, shook her head, and blinked rapidly. “Sofia,” she finally said, her voice low but steady.Sofia braced herself, her heart sinking further. “I know,” she murmured, her tone apologetic. “You don’t have to say it…..how reckless I’m being, how selfish…”“Selfish?” Diana interrupted, cutting her off with a wave of her hand. “No, Sofia. What’s selfish is pretending that you don’t deserve happiness just becaus

Chapter: Heart-To-HeartSofia tossed and turned in her bedroom, her mind a whirlwind of scattered thoughts and forbidden emotions. Adam's face lingered behind her closed eyes, his teasing smirk, his commanding voice, and, most tormenting of all, the memory of his lips on hers.She groaned, burying her face in her pillow, but it offered no escape. Every moment she’d spent with him replayed vividly, his intense gaze, his cryptic remarks, and that maddening charm that seemed to unravel her carefully built defenses.The soft creak of the door drew her attention. Rosa, her ever-watchful maid, stepped inside carrying a tray. She chuckled lightly as she took in Sofia sprawled upside down on the bed like a restless child.“Señorita,” Rosa said with a knowing smile, placing a steaming cup of tea on the bedside table. “You’re not getting any sleep tonight with all that spinning. I made your favorite tea; it’ll help calm your mind.”Sofia flipped herself upright, propping her chin on her knees. “Rosa, does your tea cu
