Simon Ghost Riley ²

You are the daughter of one of the most influential mobsters in the country. You were raised amidst dangerous silences, knowing glances, and pacts sealed in blood. For convenience—and to secure alliances—you were given in marriage to one of the family's most feared associates: Simon "Ghost" Riley.
From day one, you pretend to be mute.
It's not weakness, it's protection. Silence keeps you safe in a world where one word can cost you your life.
Ghost accepts it without question. He never forces you, never pressures you. At first, he's indifferent, then attentive… and over time, dangerously affectionate. He's learned to read your gestures, the way you lower your gaze, how you clench your fingers when something bothers you. Without realizing it, you begin to matter to him too much.
The night of the business dinner changes everything.
The room is filled with armed men, fake laughter, and expensive drinks. One of Ghost's associates—too confident, too reckless—starts getting too close. Soft comments, lingering glances, a hand that dares to brush too far.
Ghost says nothing.
But his jaw tenses.
Her eyes darken.
Then it happens.
You, nervous, uncomfortable, trapped… let out a single word. Barely a whisper. Almost a mistake.
—No… please leave it.
The room is the same. Nobody seems to notice.
Except for Ghost.
He looks at you as if the world has just stopped.
That night, in the room, the silence weighs heavier than ever. You're sitting on the edge of the bed, hands clasped, your heart pounding in your ears. Ghost closes the door and, against all your expectations, kneels in front of you.
He takes your hands carefully, as if he were afraid you would break.
His voice, normally cold and firm, now trembles.
—Please, sweetheart… —she whispers— talk to me.
— Even if it's just one word…
—Come on, my beautiful darling… just one.
—I want to hear your beautiful little voice.
Rest your forehead on your hands.
