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: Two Teenagers fightingThe third day at the hospital had arrived, and Sofia was finally discharged. She sat on the edge of the hospital bed, dressed in fresh clothes that Diana had brought for her, feeling lighter but still weak. The idea of leaving the suffocating hospital walls brought her relief.Mateo stood beside her, arms crossed, his expression firm. “You’re coming home with me, Sofia. End of discussion.”Adam, standing just a few feet away, had his hands in his pockets, but his entire posture radiated defiance. “No. She’s coming with me.”Diana and Ryan,stood to the side, watching the two men glare at each other like stubborn teenagers refusing to back down.Sofia sighed, pressing her fingers to her temple. “I can hear you both perfectly fine, you know.”Neither man acknowledged her.Mateo exhaled sharply. “She’s my sister. It’s my responsibility to take care of her.”Adam scoffed. “And she’s my woman. My responsibility.”Mateo’s eyes narrowed. “Oh, now she’s your woman? Before she became your woman

Chapter: Not When Adam Kavanaugh Is InvolvedAdam stormed out of the dining hall, his mind a whirlwind of emotions. The conversation with his grandfather had gone exactly as he expected, but that didn’t mean it stung any less. Years of loyalty, of molding himself into the perfect heir, and in the end, none of it mattered, because, to Cyril Kavanaugh, his love for Sofia was a weakness, a liability.Ryan caught up to him as he reached the front door. “Adam, wait.”Adam paused, his hands clenched into fists. He was angry, not just at his grandfather but at the entire situation.Ryan sighed, running a hand through his hair. “I know you expected that reaction from him, but I have to say, watching you throw the Kavanaugh legacy in his face was oddly satisfying.”Adam exhaled sharply, his jaw tightening. “I never cared about the legacy, Ryan. I just wanted to prove myself. But if proving myself means abandoning Sofia and my children, then to hell with it.”Ryan smirked. “Damn right.” He patted Adam’s shoulder. “Let’s get out of here. Y

It was unthinkable. And now, on top of all that, she was pregnant with twins.The moment she reached Sofia’s hospital room, she saw Adam sitting beside her bed, his hands wrapped around Sofia’s fragile fingers. His face was unreadable, but Diana could see the exhaustion in his eyes. He hadn’t left her side.Diana’s heels clicked softly against the floor as she approached. “Adam…”He looked up, his gaze sharp for just a second before softening when he realized it was her. “Diana.”She swallowed hard, glancing at Sofia, who was still unconscious. The sight of her, so pale, so fragile, made Diana’s chest ache. She sat on the chair beside Adam, her eyes never leaving Sofia’s face.“How is she?”Adam exhaled, rubbing his temple. “Stable, but weak. The doctor said her body was rejecting everything they gave her. The babies….

Chapter: Sofia Is Pregnant The tension in the hospital waiting room was suffocating. The air was thick with unspoken words and resentment as Emilio Montero paced furiously, his sharp gaze locked on Adam and Ryan."What the hell are you two doing here?" Emilio spat, his voice echoing through the quiet corridor. "Have you not done enough?"Rodrigo, standing beside him, scoffed. "This is a family matter. Outsiders should leave."Adam, unfazed, stepped forward. His towering presence and steely gaze made the air feel even heavier. "Outsiders?" he repeated mockingly. "I don’t know what fantasy you’re living in, old man, but I’m not going anywhere."Ryan leaned against the wall, arms crossed, watching the unfolding drama with a bored expression. “ must you make a scene in a hospital? This isn't the time or place."Before Emilio could retort, the hospital door swung open, and the doctor walked in. His expression was serious, but there was something else beneath it, hesitation, as if he had news that would shake them al

Chapter: The RescueAdam sat in his car, gripping the steering wheel tightly. His mind raced through possibilities. Ellie knew something. Maybe she was even involved.And if that was true…He would make her talk.The door creaked open, and Ellie stepped in, a wicked smirk on her face.She took one look at Sofia, haggard, weak, covered in bruises, and sitting in her own misery, and let out a laugh.“You look terrible,” Ellie mocked, her arms crossed. “Didn’t I tell you, Sofia? Don’t test me. Look at you, you’re dying. Slowly. Very, very slowly.”Sofia’s stomach twisted as she fought back the nausea. She had just vomited again, the disgusting dog food they forced her to eat, the filthy water they made her drink.Every time her body rejected it, she was beaten.Her skin ached from bruises, her lips were cracked from dehydration, and her spirit was hanging by a thread. But she still refused to break.She wouldn’t give Ellie that satisfaction.Ellie walked closer, a cruel glint in her eyes.“You were so sure A
