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

Brandon’s POVMy phone vibrated, the screen lighting up with a notification. I almost ignored it, but then I saw Cameron’s name in the caption of an Instagram reel.My stomach twisted.I tapped on it, and the video played.Loud music. Flashing lights. And Cameron—leaning against the bar, a lazy, tipsy smile on his face. His friends were laughing, clinking their glasses together, and Cameron, in the middle of it all, looked completely wasted.I gritted my teeth.What the hell was he doing?Before I could think, I was already moving, grabbing my jacket and heading for the door."Sir—" My driver barely had time to react as I climbed into the car."Find the address of that bar in this video," I ordered with my voice sharp and I threw my phone to him "Now."He nodded quickly, and within seconds, the car was speeding through the city streets.I shouldn’t have been this annoyed.It wasn’t like I owned Cameron.We weren’t even together—at least, not in the way normal couples were. Our engagem

Brandon’s POVCameron gasped for air, his chest rising and falling rapidly. His fingers touched his lips as if trying to confirm what had just happened. His wide, disoriented eyes locked onto mine, and for a second, he looked completely lost.Then, realization hit him like a truck."What the hell?!" he shouted, his voice cracking slightly. "Did you just—?"Before he could finish, he shoved at my shoulders, his hands shaking.I tightened my grip, holding him in place. "Calm down.""Calm down?!" Cameron’s face was red—whether from anger or the alcohol, I wasn’t sure. "You kissed me, Brandon! Are you insane?!"I wasn’t surprised when he started struggling harder, twisting against my hold. He was stronger than he looked, but I wasn’t about to let him go."Let go of me!" he snapped."Not yet," I muttered.His eyes burned with frustration. Then, before I could react—Ow.Pain shot through my foot.Cameron had stepped on me. Hard."Shit!" I hissed, loosening my grip just enough for him to sh

Cameron's POVBy the time I made it back to my apartment, my head was still spinning—not from the alcohol, but from him.Brandon.His name echoed in my mind, tangled with the memory of what had just happened. My heart pounded like a drum in my chest as I kicked the door shut behind me, leaning back against it like I had run a marathon.I dragged a shaky hand down my face, but it did nothing to erase the way my lips still burned.The way his fingers had gripped my face—firm, unyielding, like he owned me. Like he had every right to hold me like that.The heat of his breath just before he closed the distance between us.The moment his lips touched mine, time had completely stopped. My body had gone rigid, every nerve sparking at once, like an electric current had shot straight through me.His lips were softer than I expected. Warm. Steady. Certain.Mine?I didn’t even know what I was doing. I wasn’t kissing him back, but I wasn’t pushing him away either. I was frozen in that moment, lost

Drake’s POVI called Cameron again, but all I got was a dead line.His phone was off.Typical.I let out a slow breath, tapping my fingers against the desk as I stared at the photo on my phone. My jaw clenched the longer I looked at it.Cameron and Brandon. Kissing.The picture was too perfect.Brandon’s hand gripping Cameron’s face like he meant it. Cameron’s expression—stunned, confused, like he wasn’t sure what the hell was happening. And Brandon? He looked way too composed for someone who was supposed to hate this arrangement.The account that sent it to me was anonymous, but I wasn’t an idiot. This wasn’t just some random leak.Something about it felt… off.Like I was meant to see this.Like Brandon wanted me to see this.I leaned back in my chair, tilting my head as I let the thought settle in.Cameron had been acting like this marriage was a death sentence from the start—complaining, whining, making a whole scene about how unfair it was. But Brandon?I wasn’t so sure.What if h

Cameron’s POVIt had been a few days since The Kiss.I refused to let it get to me.Sure, it was unexpected. And yeah, it lingered in my mind longer than I liked. But I wasn’t going to obsess over it like some lovesick fool. I had more important things to worry about — like my father’s endless pressure to finalize the marriage agreement with Brandon.The problem? Brandon would never sign it if I shoved a contract in his face. He was too stubborn, too reckless. He’d laugh and tear the papers in half just to spite me.So, I needed leverage. Something he couldn’t resist.Which is why, a few nights ago, I made a decision.If I wanted Brandon to sign the agreement, I needed to play a longer game. Start small. Build some goodwill.Maybe even... befriend him.The thought made me scoff, but I couldn’t deny it made sense. If he trusted me, convincing him to sign would be easier. And what better way to earn that trust than by giving him exactly what he wanted?A racing car.I pulled out my phon

Cameron’s POVBrandon drove like he was born for it.The moment his hands gripped the steering wheel, something in him shifted—his usual smirking arrogance melted away, replaced by pure, focused precision. When he pressed the gas, the car responded instantly, gliding forward with seamless power. His movements were fluid, effortless, like he wasn’t just driving but commanding the machine with an unspoken language only he understood.Every gear shift was smooth, every turn executed with perfect control. Even when he accelerated, pushing the car faster and faster down the track, there was no hesitation—just confidence. The way he handled the corners, braking at just the right moment before accelerating out of them, sent a thrill through the air.And when he finally brought the car to a stop, his fingers lingered on the wheel for a moment, like he wasn’t quite ready to let go.Then he exhaled, slow and satisfied, running a hand over the dashboard.“She’s perfect,” he murmured, almost reve

Cameron’s POVBrandon wasted no time.The second we agreed to this ridiculous proposal, Brandon dragged me through the streets like we were late for something important. I followed him with my hands shoved deep into my pockets and biting back the urge to tell him to slow down. He didn’t seem to care that I trailed half a step behind or that my reluctance practically radiated off me like a neon sign.He was too focused on leading us to some over-the-top boutique called Graff.The place looked like it belonged in a movie — all glass and gold, with spotlights that made every diamond sparkle like it had its own personal sun. I hesitated in the doorway, my scuffed sneakers squeaking against the polished floor. The whole store smelled like vanilla and roses, the kind of scent that stuck to your clothes and made your head throb.I didn’t belong here.Brandon, of course, fit right in — despite the racing suit he hadn’t bothered to change out of. He strode past glass cases without hesitation,

Rival's Contract Marriage Chapter 44
POV: CameronI should’ve left.My fingers curled around the door handle, my heart thudding so loud I thought it might burst out of my chest. I needed to get out of there, away from the tension choking the air — away from him.But then Brandon grabbed my wrist, spun me around, and before I could even breathe, his lips were on mine.It wasn’t like the accidental kiss from earlier. This one was different. Deliberate. Desperate.I froze. My brain short-circuited. Every warning signal screamed at me to stop this before we ruined everything. But my body didn’t listen.I kissed him back.Hard.Brandon turned away me, and I raised a brow. “What? Is there something on my f—”His hand crashed against my mouth, covering it while the other shoved into my pants. My eyes widened as he stroked my hard, aching cock through my boxers. The soft fabric rubbing against my erection was almost too much to take. My body responded instantly, my hips jutting forward as he stroked me while gazing into my eyes.
Rival's Contract Marriage Chapter 43
POV: BrandonThe cab rattled over a pothole, and Cameron groaned, slumping further into the seat like he was trying to melt into the leather. His forehead pressed against the window, eyes shut tight, and his fingers curled in his lap like he was holding himself together by sheer force of will.I winced, glancing at the driver. “Hey, could you maybe drive a little more carefully?” I asked, trying to keep my voice polite. “He’s not feeling great.”The driver snorted, eyes flicking to me in the rearview mirror. “Maybe your drunk boyfriend shouldn’t have partied so hard,” he muttered, tapping the steering wheel impatiently as he sped up to beat a yellow light.My jaw clenched. I sat up straighter, leaning forward so he could see me better in the mirror. “First of all, he’s not my boyfriend — he’s my fiancé, so use the right term,” I snapped, heat prickling up my neck. “And second, you’re getting paid to drive, not to run your mouth. So how about you do your job without the commentary?”Th
Rival's Contract Marriage Chapter 42
POV: CameronThe street spun under my feet and the pavement tilted like a broken carnival ride. My head throbbed, and my pulse hammered so loudly I swore people could hear it. The muffled beat of music from the bar echoed behind me, but all I could focus on was the weight in my chest. It was heavy, ugly, suffocating. Everything reeked of stale beer, cigarette smoke, and my own pathetic jealousy.I could still see them, Brandon and Hilda were standing and their bodies were too close to each other, their heads tilted together, talking like the rest of the world didn’t exist. The way he stared at her intensely and the way she stared back at him made my heart race, It burned. It burned so badly I felt sick.“Cameron,” Brandon’s voice cut through the haze, low and careful, like he was talking to a wounded animal. “Oh fuck, what have you done to yourself? Come on, you’re wasted. Let’s get you home.”His hand on my arm was steady, warm, and I hated it. I hated how good it felt.I yanked m
Rival's Contract Marriage Chapter 41
POV: BrandonI shoved the bar door open, my heart hammering against my chest like it was trying to break free. The music thudded loudly behind me, but the cold air outside smacked me harder than any bass drop could. My hands were shaking, some was part from anger, part from the mess I’d just left behind.And there was Hilda, stomping down the sidewalk like she hadn’t just wrecked my entire life in one night.Seriously, she looked like a toddler throwing a tantrum.“Hilda, get your stupid ass here!” I yelled, my voice scraping my throat.She didn’t even flinch and I felt my face twitch in annoyance.I jogged to catch up, grabbing her arm and spinning her around so fast her hair whipped across her face. “What the fucking hell was that?” I hissed, my chest rising and falling like I’d just run a marathon.She yanked her arm back like I’d burned her. “Don’t fucking touch me,” she snapped, eyes blazing.“I wouldn’t have to if you stopped acting like a maniac,” I shot back. “Why were you a
Rival's Contract Marriage Chapter 40
POV: CameronThe moment the kiss ended, I panicked.My heart pounded like a freaking war drum, so loud it drowned out everything else. My lips still tingled, swollen from the kiss — from his kiss — and my skin buzzed like I’d been electrocuted.I couldn’t breathe.I ripped myself away from Brandon like he was on fire, chest heaving. His eyes were wide, like he wanted to say something, but I didn’t give him the chance.I shoved past people, ignoring the voices calling my name. The hallway blurred, the music thumped like it was inside my skull, and my hands shook so bad I could barely twist the bathroom doorknob. But I finally managed to push it open and slam it shut behind me.The lock clicked closed except I didn’t feel safe at all.I stumbled to the sink, cranking the faucet up as high as it would go. Ice-cold water splashed out, and I threw handfuls of it onto my face, gasping at the shock. My fingers trembled as I pressed them against my burning cheeks, but no matter how much I tri
Rival's Contract Marriage Chapter 39
POV: BrandonThe game was stupid.Or at least that’s what I kept telling myself as I watched Cameron and Hilda go back and forth like they didn’t even know I existed. I leaned against the wall, gripping my drink so tightly the condensation made my fingers slip.It shouldn’t bother me.I shouldn’t care.But every time Cameron laughed — every time Hilda leaned closer, flipping her hair and flashing her perfect smile — something in my chest burned.I took another sip, pretending to listen to whatever Matt was saying next to me, but the words blurred together.All I could focus on was them.Cameron biting his lip.The way his eyes crinkled when he smiled.How he kept fidgeting, rubbing his palms on his jeans like he wanted to disappear.I hated that I noticed all of it.Hated even more that I cared.“You’re fucking staring dude,” Matt said, elbowing me.I flinched, almost spilling my drink. “I’m not dipshit.”Matt snorted. “Dude, you’ve been watching him all night.”“No, I haven’t.”“You
Rival's Contract Marriage Chapter 38
POV: CameronAfter Brandon walked in, Hilda’s smile didn’t reach her eyes anymore.It was still there, stretched across her face like a mask, but something about it had sharpened — like a blade. She twirled her drink in her hand, the ice clinking against the glass, her gaze cutting through me like she could see all my messy, tangled thoughts.And I hated it.I hated how the energy between us had flipped, how the easy flow of conversation had shattered the second she brought up Brandon. I hated how I could feel the wall she’d put up, cold and impenetrable, like I was suddenly a stranger instead of the guy she’d been laughing with five minutes ago.I cleared my throat, rubbing my palms against my jeans.“So, uh... how’s your sister?” I asked, desperate to claw my way back to neutral ground.Hilda arched a brow, sipping her drink slowly before answering.“She’s fine and well.”Just that.Nothing else.Not even a crumb of extra information to keep the conversation alive.I forced a chuckl
Rival's Contract Marriage Chapter 37
POV: CameronThe bar was louder than I expected.The bass from the speakers thrummed through the floor, vibrating up my legs and rattling my chest like a second heartbeat. People packed into the space like sardines, shouting to be heard over the music, their voices a chaotic blur of laughter and conversation. The air smelled like spilled liquor and cheap cologne, the sticky-sweet combination almost enough to make me turn around and walk right back out the door.But I didn’t.Because I was already here.And because Hilda was here.I shoved my hands in my pockets and pushed through the crowd, keeping my head down as I wove past clusters of drunk college students and couples clinging to each other like lifeboats. Someone bumped into my shoulder, sloshing their drink onto my sleeve, but I barely flinched. I just kept moving, eyes locked on the hallway leading to the private room in the back.I needed to get away from the noise.From the eyes.People were already looking at me — a few girl
Rival's Contract Marriage Chapter 36
POV: CameronI stared at my phone like it was cursed. The screen glowed in the dim light of my room, Brandon’s text burning into my brain like it had been branded there.Brandon: Hey, the guys are throwing a party. It’s kind of our ‘engagement celebration.’ You should come.I read it three times, then dropped the phone on my desk like it had bitten me.He wanted me to come to a party. A celebration. Like we weren’t a complete disaster. Like we hadn’t kissed three weeks ago. Like that kiss wasn’t still wrecking my entire existence.I rubbed my face, trying to shove the memory out of my head, but it clung to me like static electricity. The way his hand had cradled the back of my neck. The way he’d whispered my name right before our lips touched. The way I’d melted into him like a complete idiot instead of stopping it.I should have stopped it.But I didn’t.Now, I couldn’t even look at him without my pulse skyrocketing and my stomach flipping inside out.I closed my eyes, my chest achin
