All Chapters of The Rivals : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Ace stayed at Edwin’s house for a few days, enjoying with Edwin. He got so attached to Edwin’s parents, his simple life and his small town. Staying in that small town along with them brought him the happiness, satisfaction, joy and he wished he had a family as Edwin’s.It was time for Ace to leave to the city as his friends kept calling him. He lied to everyone about his visit to Edwin’s town. He lied he was going to some other country for his vacation that raised many doubts to Jacob. Ace and Jacob were always together in all their vacations and when he said he was leaving alone, it didn’t take much time for Jacob to realize Ace was going to meet Edwin.Although there still remained few days for the colleges to open, Edwin decided to leave along with Ace as he wanted to see his friends. While they both were leaving, everyone felt sad and Edwin’s parents asked Ace to come often. They both reached the city after a few hours. They reac

Smile, laughter and joy were filled in everyone’s faces, seeing their friends and classmates after many days. The colleges were opened and the students were so excited to spend their time, days with their friends. No one wanted to waste their time as it was their last year and most of them were going to get separated after their college.The first thing Edwin did as soon as he entered in the college was to run to his basketball court and meet his team members. They all were so happy seeing one another and shared their vacation details. The basketball court would be the first thing that Edwin would miss when he left the college.Edwin, Kate and Ralph began roaming all over the college just like they always did, indicating their bond was not broken but it got strong despite everything. Leila, after a long vacation, returned to the city with a bunch of gifts to her lover and friends.Seeing her in the college, after many days, Ralph ran towards her and they b

“Take this and leave.” Jacob threw some dollars at the guy, who was beaten by them, before.“For the punches, you should pay more.” The guy demanded.Jacob let out a sigh and handed him few more dollars as he seemed stubborn. “Now leave and never, ever show us your face, again.”The guy nodded his head and walked away. Freddie rolled his eyes, having his drink. Jacob continued his drink speaking nothing.Freddie asked “So, this is all? Create little disturbances like a jealous one-sided girlfriend.”As Jacob knew the route Edwin would take to go to his home, Jacob already planned that little fight. He expected Edwin would try to stop and it happened like he assumed.“It’s just the beginning, Fred. How can you think I will ever let someone take my best buddy away from me. Ace is not just my friend. He is my brother and we share a connection, the bond, that no one can destroy.”

Edwin was at his practice area along with his teammates. Few seniors left the team and few of his classmates left because of their internships resulted in forming of a new team. “Everything is set. Perfect.” The coach shouted, looking at the team with a proud smile on his face. “But what about the captain, coach?” One of the teammates asked that puzzled everyone. He was same year as Edwin but from different department. Although he had been a good friend with Edwin, he always wished to be the captain, which never happened. The coach furrowed his brow, saying “Who else, Landon? Our Edwin.” His face fell disappointed. He always gave his best but he was never recognised by anyone that hurt him deeply. He said “For the past two years, Edwin has been the captain. Even there were seniors, he became the captain. Just because he got us cup once doesn’t mean he has to be the captain, all the time.” Everyone was a little surprised to hear his wor

Edwin shut the door with a full force, raging like a bull. He didn’t expect Ace to accuse him in that way. It was Ace’s fault but instead of accepting that, he accused Edwin and left, angrily. It increased Edwin’s hurt. He held his head with his palms, shouting out loud “Fuck you, Ace!” He lost his control and his temper increased. Fisting his palm, he hit the wall beside him that resulted in the scratch on his knuckles and it nearly started to bleed but it was the least thing he cared. The pain he was feeling in his hand was nothing when compared to the one that he was feeling in his heart. “Why? Why?” he hit the wall two more times, shouting angrily. His gaze fell on the crushed note and his lips quivered. Taking it in his hands, he started to tear it into pieces. “Forgiveness! My foot!” His frustration reached peaks and he ran his fingers through his hair, pulling it. He fell down on his knees and his anger, frustration turned to tears. He tried to calm himself but he miserably
