My Rival My lover Chapter 33: confronting Linda
Alex povMy chest heaved as I bent down , gasping for air. I had ran all the way from school back to my streets. The cold evening air nipped at my skin as I stood outside Linda’s house, staring at the familiar door that now seemed so unfamiliar. I had called her countless times over the past few days, texted her, and even tried catching her after class, but she always managed to slip away with some half-hearted excuse.I tried turning back to go back home. The home I much needed after everything that happened, but knowing that Linda was hiding something from me made me turn back. I can't do this to her.Something was wrong with Linda, and as her best friend, I needed answers.Taking a deep breath, I knocked on the door. A moment later, it swung open, revealing Linda’s mom, Mrs. Carter.“Alex,” she greeted with a warm but surprised smile. “It’s been a while. Come in.”I tried to keep the surprise away from my face. Last I knew of, mrs. Carter, linda had told me she was admitted to the

Alex povI stuffed my hands into my jacket pockets as I walked down the dimly lit street, what Linda had told me, replaying in my head. The truth about Andrian’s manipulation still weighed heavily on me. I could not believe that he would go to such an extent as to manipulate Linda to get at me. I had not done anything to him, but Adrian had made it his job to torment my life. Well, I won't stand still and let it happen again. Linda was my friend, and I’d fight to protect her, even if it meant facing Andrian head-on.What struck me most was Linda’s courage. Despite everything, she hadn’t completely given in to him. I felt a little bad for how I had thought that she was avoiding me, maybe because she had betrayed me or was secretly working for the Elites or something like that. Little did I know that she was struggling to save her mother. And now, I had to do my part. I had to protect her and figure out what Andrian was really up to.The chilly night air bit at my skin. I was on my way

Alex pov A chill ran down my spine. The name wasn’t unfamiliar. Who am I kidding? What is my name doing in the deed for a company? There is no way it could have been a coincidence. I have heard of Davidson Group. It was a powerful and a very wealthy company, but rumors are that the company ran out of funds, which was why it disappeared mysteriously. What was my mother doing with such a thing in our house.? Was she not just a secretary in a local bookstore.? What was the connection? These questions kept on running through my mind. The paper suddenly felt heavy on my hands. The logo. It was the same logo that had been on the complementary card. The man who had saved me from being kidnapped had given me the mysterious Viper. The connection hit me like a lightning bolt. I rushed to my room, my heart pounding as I dug through my desk drawer. The card was still there, tucked beneath a pile of old notebooks. I pulled it out, blowing out the dust that had settled on it. my hands trem

Alex’s POV The eatery was not anything special. It was a rundown eatery that is situated at the ghetto sode of the city. I stopped in front of the door. my hand hesitated on the door handle. My heart was pounding so loudly I was certain anyone nearby could hear it.Did I really want to know?The truth? About my name, Davidson, maybe it was just a coincidence, or i should wait for my mother to confront her myself instead of meeting a mysterious man. The truth sounds scary. And worst of all, It will be a deviation from my normal life, and I hated change, so, therefore, hating anything that might cause a change.Yes, I know that i might be a wissy or whatever you want to call me, but that's just how I see things.A part of me wanted to turn around, to go back home and lie down on my comfortable bed and pretend none of this was happening. But then the image of that deed flashed in my mind, the one I’d found in my mother’s room, bearing my name. And worst of all, Luke had told me about t

Alex pov “What are you talking about?” He sighed, leaning back in his chair. “The story you’ve been told, that your father ran away, that he abandoned you and your mother, it’s a lie. He didn’t run, Alex. He was hunted. By people who wanted what he had. By people who feared him.” “Feared him? Why?” “Because your father wasn’t just anyone. He was the head of the Davidson Group, a name that carried weight not just in Manchester but across neighboring cities. Power, influence, wealth, he had it all. And that made him a target.” Wait, wait, slow down a bit. Are you saying that my father is what? And that he owns what…?my mind was spinning to catch up. I know it's a lot to take in, but that's what it is. Don't blame your mother for keeping it from you. You are the heir, the only heir, so you see the reason for her to keep you away from all this.” “I don't believe this, it's crab,” I said, standing up in a hurry to start going home. “Thank you for wasting my time.” “Alex wait

Andrian’s POV The bass thumped through the air, drowning out the meaningless chatter around me. The dim red and blue lights of the bar flickered, casting shadows on the faces of people under the influence of alcohol and music. I sat in the VIP section, leaning back in my seat. None of anything that was happening around me mattered, not even the beautiful girl beside me that draped herself over my arm. Her fingers lazily traced patterns on my chest, but her touch barely registered. My thoughts were elsewhere.“Why so serious, Andrian?” she purred, her lips brushing against my ear.I smirked faintly. The kind I knew kept women intrigued, but my mind was miles away. The name Davidson and the puzzle surrounding Alex’s involvement had burrowed into my brain, refusing to let go.Just as her hand slid down, getting lower to my dick, my phone vibrated on the table. I reached for it, ignoring her disappointed huff. The caller ID read Enzo, my personal assistant.I answered immediately. “Talk

Alex pov The next morning, I stood in front of the school building, hesitating on whether to just go home and call in sick, or to carry on my day. my mind is still a whirlwind of emotions. The revelation about my father, Linda's betrayal, and the lingering sting of Andrian's presence haunted me, but somehow, I felt an odd sense of clarity, a grim determination to face whatever the day threw at me. I wasn’t going to let anyone see me crumble, not Linda, not Andrian, and definitely not myself. Walking through the hallway, I could feel eyes on me, whispers buzzing like an annoying swarm of bees. Snickers and insults like , “F*g” and “sissy boy” kept on buzzing in my ear. The person was intentionally loud so as to hear me. But it didn’t matter. I wasn’t here for anyone's pity or drama. All I wanted was to grab my books, attend class, and get through the day. But the day had another plan for me, I felt someone push me from behind causing my bag to tumble on the floor, pouring my proje

Alex’s POV Luke followed, still silent and slightly dazed, but he didn’t pull away. As we walked, I could feel the weight of Andrian’s stare burning into my back. Let him look. Let him see. I was done caring about him or what he thought of me. For all I cared about, he could rot in hell. “Hey, slow down, Alex. Why the rush?” Luke asked, pulling me back, his voice breaking through the haze of my thoughts. “We’re going to be late for class if we don’t hurry,” I replied, but even to my ears, my voice sounded off, rushed, strained. Luke grinned mischievously. “Oh, but why are your cheeks so red? Are you blushing?” I groaned, mortified. “I’m not blushing!” My words came out more defensive than I intended. I turned away quickly, clutching my bag tighter. Luke’s laughter followed me as I walked ahead, but soon enough, he caught up. “Wait for me, Alex! I was just messing with you.” But I didn’t stop for one second, I continued like I was being chased, pretending not to hear him. In c

My Rival My lover Chapter 124: the end
Alex’s POV The morning light streamed through the curtains, casting a golden glow across the room. The soft sound of the distant waters gives the scene a peaceful and otherworldly atmosphere. I stirred from my sleep. My muscles screamed as I stretched myself. my body was aching in places I never knew could ache. My whole body was sore, and my back felt like it had been through a battle. but the warmth pressed against me made it all worth it. Andrian’s strong arms were wrapped around my waist possessively, as if he couldn’t bear to let me go at all. his chest continued to rise and fall gently, behind me. I turned slightly, careful not to wake him, and watched his peaceful face. He looked so different like this, no arrogance, no fierce possessiveness, no weight pulling him down, just a man completely at ease. A lazy smile spread across my lips. Last night had been…well it was a rough night. The way he touched me, the way he held me, as if I was the only thing that mattered in th
My Rival My lover Chapter 123: I love you
sexual content ahead ‼️‼️Alex pov “You are mine” andrian growled like an animal. I couldn’t help the ecstacy that ran through my body from his deep, possessive words. I have never thought of someone owing me before. Hell no, I don't even have such fetish, but hearing andrian say it. It brought out a lot of things in me. My heart shook, almost answering to his statement. “Yes, I am yours” I said back, matching his tempo. One time, I was standing on the beach, and the next andrian lifted me up like I weighed nothing. His hands rested on my bottom as he painfully squeezed. I gasp, the pleasure running inside me was too much to comprehend. I clung to him for dear life, as I let andrian abuse my mouth. I was completely at his mercy. A whimper escaped my lips as he trailed traces of kiss from my jaw down to my neck. My toes tingle, and everything suddenly becomes blurry to me. The stars, the genlt waves lapping against the shore, the breeze, everything stilled. As I stared at
My Rival My lover Chapter 122: He is alive
Andrian pov “Alex!” He was whole. Alive. I wasn’t dreaming. His blue eyes met mine, and for the first time in over a year, I felt the ground would open and swallow me. His face held no atome of expression. I wanted to gauge from that, but I found nothing. only his blue eyes was fixated on me, staring at mèso intensely. It suddenly felt like the world, my surroundings, everything had disappeared, only Alex was in my world. For the past twenty minutes, neither of us had moved, neither of us had spoken. We just stood there, staring at each other like if we so much as blinked, the other would disappear. “Alex…” I repeated. Unable to form concurrent thoughts. His name was a whisper in my mind, a ghost I had never truly let go of. All this time, I had tried to delude myself, and I had moved on. But seeing him standing in front of me. All those feelings I had desperately locked off came rushing out like a dam. He was, real, standing right in front of me, looking both f
My Rival My lover Chapter 121: life on the island
Andrian pov Today was another bright day. The sun was already getting ready to shower the island with its blissful light. It was a day of work. Another day of burying myself in work. The world had long since moved on. And so had I. Or at least, that’s what I kept trying to let myself believe. It had been over a year since I left the hospital, since I turned my back on everything, the empire, the fortune, the past. My father’s reign had crumbled into dust, his empire swallowed by scavengers. It should have mattered to me. It should have made me feel something. But it didn’t. The one thing that mattered to me most has been taken away from me by the same man who calls himself my father. Without hesitation, I came and testified in the court. That was all it took to send him to life imprisonment , for attempted murder, and involvement in drug dealing and human trafficking. Well, I was also surprised when all the evidence was dug up. I know that my father was a fraudster and a w
My Rival My lover chapter 120: Waking up
ALEX’S POV Six Months Later Darkness. That was all I had known. I have lost even a sense of time. I didn’t know how long I had been here ,but I only knew that it's been a long time. Time didn’t move here. There was no past, no present, no future. Just an endless abyss where memories flickered like broken film reels, playing over and over again. I was awake, and at the same time, I was not awake. I could hear voices that sounded like the voices of the nurses and doctors coming in every day. They would whisper in hushed tones before leaving immediately. And every time, I would scream and shout at them. I tried to ask them what was wrong, but each time, I was met with nothing. At times, my mother would stay with me for days. Talking about sweet things when our family was whole again. I was playing in the snow, or my father took the little me to the children's park. I could feel her sadness coming out in waves, but I can't do anything about it. I could only.lie down, to li
My Rival My lover Chapter 119: moving on
Andrian POV Six Months LaterThe world had moved on.People carried on with their lives, the city bustled like it always did, and Rufus' empire together with all the assets had long since been divided among greedy hands, swallowed by vultures disguised as loyal friends and business partners.Well, ever since the arrest.I sighed for what felt like a hundred times this morning. I looked through the window, envious of the way people went about their normal daily lives. Moving on with their lives.Unaware of the lonely and broken heart, that was still stuck in the past.For me, time had stopped six months ago, on that blood-stained floor, with Alex's limp body in my arms, his breath shallow , as his life continued to seep out. That was the day my own world shattered into nothingness.I stood by the large window of my penthouse, staring blankly at the city below. The skyline of Manchester stretched endlessly, lights flickering like stars against the night, but it all felt so... empty, so
My Rival My lover Chapter 118: The gunshot
Alex pov It was as if everything had stopped, even time itself, had freezed. But it was more of the calm, before the storm. I mentaĺly counted down from 3,2,1… Before all hell was let loose. But the thing was that I was not there when it did. I was still in a trance, from watching andrian throw the key to the hungry monsters before I felt myself being dragged out of the room in a hurry. The sound of gunshots firing behind our back, echoed throughout the building. “Common keep up, if you want to live” andrian words reached me, but I was not making sense of it all. Nothing that has happened in the past 20 hours made sense. But one thing that made sense is that I have failed as the heir to my fathers legacy. No matter how it turned out, the truth still remained that the key is now with one of the evil monsters, and the secret wealth of my father would be plunged all because I was stupid enough to fall for a boy. “Leave me alone” I suddenly said, stopping myself from being dragge
My Rival My lover Chapter 117: Rufus
Alex pov The world was closing in on me. I felt like I would vomit, but every time I wanted to do so, nothing came out.I was devastated as an understatement. I was crushed both mentally and otherwise. i couldn't believe that Andrian was demanding a share in whatever wealth that was hidden in the Davidson save.Was this his way of doing back? After I abandoned him again on the island. But I had no choice.They had made sure I didn't involve anybody, even andrian.But seeing andrian standing there negotiating with the evil people, I could not help but ask what I had done wrong.“Why?”It was not too loud or directly directed to a specific person in particular, but andrian finally looked my way. My heart shook as he looked at me with no emotion in his eyes.“I am sorry, Alex, but I can't stop myself from doing this.” I shook my head, and I was not satisfied with his answer. “We promised each other. I thought we did…” My voice trailed off, cracking at the end.This was my father's mi
My Rival My lover Chapter 116: Betrayal cutting deep
Alex povLuke turned dramatically, motioning to the guards near the door.The door swung open again, and two large men dragged someone inside.My heart stopped.Viper.His face was bruised, blood dripping from his forehead, from all the places they had injured him. His hands were bound behind him, his head hung loose at the side, but he raised it up when he heard my voice."No."Panic crashed into me like a tidal wave."Viper!"I called for the second time. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Viper, someone I had known to be all mighty and mysterious, was reduced to this state, barely hanging on for his dear life. his dark eyes flickering to mine before he gave a weak, bloody smirk."Hey, kid." His voice was low and filled with pain.I could barely hear him, but I could still see the unwavering light in his eyes. It has not yet gone off.Luke chuckled."You have a strong and loyal lackey, I must commend. Let’s see how long he lasts, shall we?"The guards threw Viper to the ground
