"You can hate me all you want, Cameron," Brandon murmured, lips brushing his ear. "But by the end of this marriage, you'll crave me." Cameron Aston is straight. Or so he thought—until his father forces him into an engagement with Brandon Deville, the arrogant, maddeningly attractive heir to a rival empire. What should have been a cold business deal turns into a dangerous game of tension, temptation, and blurred lines. Because the more Cameron fights Brandon, the harder he falls. And in this marriage, losing might mean wanting something he swore he never would.

Rival's Contract Marriage Chapter 10
Cameron’s POVWalking through the school hallways felt weird.People were staring and whispering. Looking at me like I was some kind of fucking celebrity.It wasn’t surprising, though.The news of my engagement had spread like wildfire, and now, everyone had something to say about it.Even some teachers had some to say and they were calling in favors so they could be invited to the wedding.I kept my head down and gripped the straps of my backpack tighter. I just needed to survive the day. Just one day at a —"Cameron!"I groaned internally. Here we go.Turning around, I saw my friends—Ethan, Ryan, and Mason—walking toward me with the biggest smirks on their faces."So it’s true, huh?" Ethan asked, crossing his arms. "You and Brandon Deville? You guys are a thing now?"I exhaled sharply. "Yeah, I guess so."Ryan raised an eyebrow. "You guess? Like are you crazy bro?"Mason nudged my shoulder. "Dude, this is fucking insane. You and Brandon hated each other! I have heard you say you're

Cameron’s POVI wasn’t sure how long I had been staring at my phone.Maybe a minute. Maybe an hour. Time felt irrelevant when my notifications wouldn’t stop exploding.“Damn, it's been going on forever.” I muttered to myself.Messages. Missed calls. Social media tags. Even some nosy reporters trying to get a statement.But none of it mattered.Not even the curious texts from my classmates. Not the shallow congratulations from people who only wanted gossip.The only thing I really cared about was had Erica seen it?I swallowed hard, gripping my phone tighter.Erica was in another country for work, far away from all this chaos. Maybe—just maybe—she hadn’t seen the news yet. Maybe I still had time to think of what to say, how to explain.But the universe clearly hated me today, because just as that thought crossed my mind—A new message popped up on my screen.From her."Cameron… is it true?"I felt my heart drop straight into my stomach.So, she did see it.I hesitated, my fingers hover

Brandon’s POVDinner had gone smoothly—or at least, as smoothly as it could with Cameron glaring daggers at me every five seconds.Our parents had done most of the talking, discussing engagement plans, venues, and how wonderful it was that we were getting along. If only they knew.Now, as they stood up from the table, exchanging their final pleasantries, I leaned back in my chair, watching Cameron out of the corner of my eye."Brandon, we’ll be heading out first," my mother said, fixing me with one of her usual unreadable looks."Try not to cause too much trouble son," my father added, though his voice held a hint of amusement.I smirked. "Me? Trouble? You wound me father. I can never."Cameron’s stepmother, Vivian, gave him a small, tight-lipped smile. "Don’t forget, Cameron. We still have a lot to prepare. I expect you to be cooperative."Cameron barely nodded, his jaw tight. "Just go home already."His father clapped him on the back before turning to me. "Take care of him, Brandon.

Cameron’s POVWe were supposed to have dinner with both our parents.It should’ve been a simple and straightforward event. A formal agreement with few polite words, and then we’d be on our way.But with Brandon involved? Nothing was ever that simple.I hadn’t seen him since our last meeting, when he’d so casually agreed to marry me. No arguments, no tricks—just an easy acceptance that still made my skin itch because that wasn’t Brandon I knew. He wasn’t the type to just go along with things. He always had some kind of angle, some hidden move he was waiting to play.That's what I hated the most about him.So when I walked into the restaurant and saw him already seated at the table, looking perfectly calm and unbothered, my guard immediately went up.My stepmother, Vivian, was the first to notice me. She smiled, but there was that usual sharpness and distain in her eyes. "Cameron darling, don’t just stand there. Come sit."I forced a smile and walked over, sliding into the empty seat n

Brandon’s POVCameron had a girl he liked.I wonder who it was, was it a girl at our school? My mind was turning through images of every girl he talks to, even people in his race term but no matter how I think, I couldn’t bring up a single person.The words kept echoing in my head and it was sticking out like a splinter I couldn’t get out. I stared at him across the café table, watching as he calmly laid out the details of our upcoming marriage like he was planning a business merger.He looked so good so serious like that. "We’ll stay married for a year," he said, his voice steady, almost too steady, like he had practiced this several times. "We will be married for that time frame and then we’ll get a divorce. I’ll take full responsibility for it publicly—I’ll say I was the one at fault. I’ll compensate you for your time and trouble, and you won’t have to worry about the media backlash. I’ll handle it all. I just need to play your part well."He paused, locking eyes with me. "If you

Cameron’s POVThe moment I stepped into my apartment, I locked the door behind me and headed straight for my study. My mind was still spinning from the conversation with my father, from the way he had so easily thrown away everything I’d worked for.But I wasn’t going to let him win.I strode to my desk and pulled open the bottom drawer. A small key sat hidden beneath some papers. I grabbed it, inserted it into the locked compartment, and turned.Click.The drawer slid open, revealing a neat stack of photographs.My chest tightened.I reached for the top one, my fingers brushing against the edges as I picked it up.It was an old picture—one from when I was about ten. In the photo, I stood grinning, my small hands gripping a wooden swing. Behind me, gently pushing the swing, was her.Erica.I swallowed hard as I traced her face with my thumb. She had always been there. From the moment my mother passed away, Erica had been the only one who made things bearable. She was older—five years

Cameron’s POVThe moment my phone rang, I knew something was wrong.I had just finished my last class for the day and was about to grab lunch when his name flashed across my screen.Dad.I stared at it for a second, debating whether to answer. I already had a bad feeling. My father never called unless it was something serious—something I wouldn’t like.Still, ignoring him wasn’t an option.I sighed, stepped away from my friends, and picked up. “Yeah?”“Come home. Now.”I blinked. “What?”“There’s something we need to discuss. It’s about your inheritance.”My stomach twisted. Inheritance. That was never a good topic in the Aston family.I pressed my fingers against the bridge of my nose. “Can this wait? I still have—”“No, Cameron. It cannot wait.” His voice was sharp, final. “Get home. Immediately.”And just like that, the line went dead.I stared at my phone, my appetite gone. What the hell was that about?Whatever it was, it wasn’t good.I made it home in record time. The Aston esta

Brandon’s POVThe café smelled like fresh espresso and vanilla, the kind of scent that usually made me feel warm and relaxed. But today, my stomach was a tangled mess of nerves, and I couldn’t care less about the comforting aroma. My fingers drummed an impatient rhythm against the wooden table, my knee bouncing beneath it. Every few seconds, my eyes flickered toward the entrance, scanning the people walking in.Cameron was late.I wasn’t surprised. If it were up to him, he probably wouldn’t have shown up at all.I clenched my jaw, glancing at the time on my phone for what had to be the tenth time in the last five minutes. He was pushing it. If he thought I was going to sit here all day, waiting on him like I had nothing better to do, he was dead wrong.The bell above the café door chimed, and my pulse spiked before I could stop it.There he was.Cameron Aston.Even if I hadn’t been waiting for him, I still would’ve noticed him the second he walked in. He had that kind of presence—the

Cameron’s POVSundays were supposed to be easy. Wake up late, grab something greasy for breakfast, and then survive dinner with my father and his perfect little replacement family. I wasn’t looking forward to it, but I went anyway—because not showing up would only make things worse.The Aston estate was a mansion built for people who liked to remind you they were richer than you. Polished marble floors, grand chandeliers, a dining table long enough to seat a small army. It was all a ridiculous show of wealth, and I hated it.Dinner was the usual nightmare. My father, Charles, sat at the head of the table, cutting into his steak like he was signing a business contract. My stepmother, Vivian, played the perfect host, even though I knew she barely tolerated my existence. And then there was Drake—my stepbrother. He sat across from me, grinning like he knew something I didn’t.I tried to ignore him, focusing instead on my food, but then my father cleared his throat. The sound sent an insta

Cameron’s POVI lost. Again.The roar of the engines was still ringing in my ears, my pulse pounding like a war drum. My hands shook, still locked in the death grip I’d had on the wheel. My chest was tight, my breath coming in sharp bursts as I ripped off my helmet and hurled it onto the hood of my car.Brandon Deville won. Again.And there he was—the golden boy of street racing, the untouchable legend.He stood on the winner’s platform, basking in the glow of victory while people swarmed him—his team, his fans, girls who looked like they’d throw themselves at his feet if he so much as blinked in their direction.I wanted to look away. I really did. But I couldn’t.Brandon had everything. The skills, the fame, the sponsors throwing money at him like he was some kind of racing god. And me? I was just the guy who always came in second.I clenched my fists so hard my nails dug into my palms.Last time I lost to him, he forced me to go to his ridiculous birthday party. A party. Like I had...
