Rivals to Lovers

Xavier, the brilliant, solitary scholarship student, never expected his life would collide with Alex, the campus's privileged and reckless football star. Their worlds are violently spliced when an accidental kiss during a heated debate is caught on camera and broadcast to the entire school. To salvage Alex's crumbling campaign and public image, he proposes the perfect solution: a fake, high-profile relationship. What starts as a calculated lie to appease the public soon forces them into an intimacy neither anticipated, blurring the lines between staged rivalry and genuine, stolen tenderness. But caught between family legacies, looming scandals, and a manipulative brother intent on tearing them apart, they face a brutal reality: in their worlds, only one of them can afford to choose love over the legacy they are bound to protect.
