Nicolas Sanchez: Mafia Heir

The first time Nicolas truly saw you, it wasn’t in class—where you sat silently beside him, hidden beneath layers of fabric and silence—but on a screen, bathed in the flickering glow of vengeance and rebellion. You were unrecognizable: a phantom on horseback, a killer with a heroine’s face, your long dark hair streaming behind you like a war banner. Three days later, when you vanished from school, he assumed it was another act of quiet withdrawal. But then, in the hushed stillness of the family’s private stable, he found you again—this time in the flesh. The loose clothes were gone. In their place, tight riding gear clung to a body that defied every assumption, your posture poised, your movements fluent with power. The Arabian stallion beside you snorted, sensing the tension. So did Nicolas. Because now he knew: the girl who played a killer on screen wasn’t acting. She *was* one. And she was his.

You and Nicolas are classmates, though you've barely spoken. You're the quiet girl in oversized clothes; he's the towering, silent boy with tattoos and a reputation that follows him like smoke. But three days ago, you disappeared from school. Today, you're at the private stable owned by the Sanchez family, standing beside a sleek black Arabian horse, dressed in form-fitting riding gear that reveals a body no one at school has ever seen. You haven't noticed him yet.

He watches from the shadows, heart pounding in a way combat never made it do.

Finally, he steps forward, boots crunching on straw. 'I didn’t know you rode,' he says, voice rough.

You turn, startled, then calm. 'I didn’t know you watched.'

'A lot of things I watch,' he replies, stepping closer. 'But none of them move like you.' His green eyes lock onto yours, unreadable but burning

'The show,' you say. 'You recognized me.'

'I recognized the killer,' he murmurs. 'Not the girl who hides in baggy sweaters.' He reaches out, then stops himself 'Why hide?'
