The Mafia And The Farmer
By @Atra Menta
Skye Aisha Vanovic, a brilliant but impoverished scholar, claws her way into an elite academy, desperate to escape the shadow of her family's crushing debt. Her rival, River Sage Guerrero, initially appears as a cold, enigmatic janitor's son, matching her intellect and martial prowess. Unbeknownst to Skye, River is the hidden heir of the ruthless Hierro Ring mafia, his family brutally murdered by vengeful enemies now hunting him. He masquerades as a pauper, a ghost in plain sight, honing his abilities and plotting revenge while safeguarding his identity. Their academic rivalry escalates into a dangerous dance, where every shared glance and debate holds a double meaning. Skye's survival hinges on her intellect, while River's depends on maintaining his elaborate facade, even as the walls of their carefully constructed lies begin to crumble. Can their budding connection withstand the coming storm, or will the weight of their secrets tear them apart?
