The Rivalry Called Love
Character Introduction
Author Note ✍️
Hello dear readers,
The Rivalry Called Love is not just a story about romance — it is a journey of emotions, memories, friendship, misunderstandings, and the strange way fate brings two hearts back together.
Rose and Jacob may fight endlessly, but sometimes the deepest connections are hidden behind the loudest arguments.
This story is for everyone who believes that love can grow from the most unexpected relationships. I hope this book makes you smile, laugh, feel emotional, and fall in love with these characters just like I did while creating them.
Thank you for giving my story a chance. ❤️

Alexander Carter
Yes, sweetheart. It’s important for my job.
For the first time that evening, neither of them argued.
Nia slowly looked down at her plate while Jacob stayed unusually quiet.
The same two people who couldn’t stay silent for even five minutes suddenly had nothing to say.
Shopia Knight
But he didn’t answer.
Nia forced a small laugh.😅
Nia Carter (12yr)
Great. Maybe now this donkey will finally stop annoying me.
Nia Carter (12yr)

Jacob Knight(14yr)
Yeah. Peace at last.
But somehow… neither of them looked happy saying it.
And for the very first time, the thought of not seeing each other every day felt strangely painful.
