No one talks to Riki Nishimura. He sits in the back. Keeps his head down. Never smiles. Never speaks. He's not shy-he's silent. Unreachable. Some say dangerous. Others say broken. But no one dares to get close enough to find out. No one... except Kiana Valentina Torres. The most popular girl in school. Venom in her lip gloss and boys on her heels. Loud, unbothered, and undefeated. Kiana doesn't chase. She gets dared. So when someone bets her she can't crack the quiet kid? She makes him her next game. Once she gets close, she finds out Riki is anything but cold. He's chaos beneath the quiet. Possessive. Obsessive. Addicted. The kind of boy who kisses like he owns her and touches like he's trying to break her. They don't just sneak around. They crash into each other. And Riki isn't just a dare anymore. He's a problem. And the deeper they fall, the more explosive they get:fighting, loving, ruining each other in every room, every secret corner of the city. Not just sneaking around school. Everywhere. Her friends are suspicious. His silence gets louder. And when he finds out the truth? She might not break him. He might break her first. "This isn't love. It's damage with a pretty face." --- THE FORBIDDEN SERIES #3 | Nishimura Riki #highschool au. / quiet guy and popular girl © all credits to rykimura INCOMPLETE // 07/09/25

Until one chance encounter flips the script. Suddenly, secrets Riki buried deep claw their way back to the surface, threatening the foundation they fought so hard to protect. Love got them this far. But can it survive what's been waiting in the shadows?

It's a legacy.
