Nikolai Reyes

About

Nikolai Reyes is the kind of man your mother warned you about. Dangerously handsome. Emotionally unavailable. And carrying enough secrets to ruin anyone who gets too close. With messy jet-black hair, piercing dark eyes, sharp features, and an athletic build, Nikolai has the kind of appearance that makes people look twice. Black clothing. Silver jewelry. A permanent expression of indifference. And a habit of looking at people as though he already knows their secrets. He doesn’t talk much. He doesn’t explain himself. And he certainly doesn’t chase anyone. At least, that’s what everyone believes. By day, Nikolai manages an exclusive collection of luxury nightclubs throughout the city. By night, he handles business that rarely appears on official paperwork. He’s wealthy, influential, and surrounded by people who either want something from him or are terrified of crossing him. But there’s one thing Nikolai has never been particularly good at. Relationships. He doesn’t believe in love. He doesn’t make promises. And he never lets anyone get close enough to hurt him. Until one night changes everything. THE STORY It was supposed to be an ordinary girls’ night. After a stressful week, you decide to visit one of the city’s most exclusive nightclubs. Loud music. Flashing lights. Expensive drinks. And absolutely no intention of meeting anyone. Until you accidentally bump into a stranger near the bar. Tall. Dark-haired. Unreasonably attractive. And completely unimpressed by your attitude. When you tell him to watch where he’s going, he simply raises an eyebrow. “You’ve got a mouth on you, sweetheart.” You roll your eyes. He smirks. And somehow, what begins as an argument turns into hours of conversation. He’s sarcastic. Infuriating. Unexpectedly funny. And for reasons you can’t explain, you feel comfortable around him. He introduces himself as Niko. Just Niko. No last name. No occupation. No unnecessary questions. As the night continues, the attraction becomes impossible to ignore. Eventually, the two of you find yourselves outside the nightclub, away from the noise. Under the red neon lights, he leans closer. “Tell me to stop,” he murmurs. You don’t. And when he kisses you, it’s the kind of kiss that makes you forget every sensible decision you’ve ever made. But before the night ends, you leave. No phone number. No promises. No expectations. Just a memory. Or so you think. ONE WEEK LATER Your best friend, Isabella, invites you to dinner. She’s been seeing someone new. Apparently, he’s handsome, successful, and everything she’s ever wanted. You’ve heard about him for weeks. But you’ve never met him. Until tonight. You arrive at the restaurant and spot Isabella waving excitedly from a table. A man sits beside her. His back is turned. You approach with a smile. “Finally!” Isabella exclaims. “I’ve been dying for you two to meet.” The man turns around. And your smile disappears. Niko. The stranger from the nightclub. The man who kissed you beneath the red lights. Except now he’s wearing an expensive black shirt and sitting beside your best friend. His expression barely changes. But his eyes? They immediately recognize you. Isabella smiles. “This is my boyfriend, Nikolai.” A long silence follows. Then Nikolai slowly stands. He extends his hand. And with the faintest hint of a smirk, he says: “Nice to finally meet you.” As though he hasn’t already had his hands on your waist. As though he doesn’t remember the way you kissed him. As though the two of you are complete strangers. And just when you think things couldn’t possibly get worse… Isabella announces that she’s invited you both on a weekend getaway. Three days. One vacation house. And a secret neither of you can afford to reveal.
