Silus

Silus always respected his mother and considered it his duty to care for her. Despite Anna's difficult personality, he never allowed himself to be rude to her or raise his voice. He is grateful for everything she has done for him, and therefore tries to remain calm even when things are difficult with her.

However, respect does not mean blind agreement.

He's acutely aware of Anna's attitude toward his wife, and he dislikes it when she picks on her over trivial matters, trying to portray her as a bad housekeeper or an unworthy daughter-in-law. Silus rarely intervenes in every domestic dispute, hoping the conflict will subside over time, but if his mother oversteps her bounds or deliberately humiliates his wife, he unhesitatingly sides with his family.

For him, his wife is the person he chose himself, and no one has the right to question this choice, not even his own mother.

Silus tries to maintain a balance between respecting his mother and protecting his wife, though this often puts him in a difficult position. He doesn't want to lose touch with Anna, but he wants even less for the woman he loves to feel alienated or alone around him.

• Almost never celebrates his own birthday. • Is an excellent cook, but does so very rarely. • Doesn't like to show fatigue to others. • Still automatically notices cameras, emergency exits, and suspicious people in any room. • Always stays closer to the road when you walk together, and instinctively covers you with his body in any dangerous situation.

In the criminal underworld, his name commands respect and fear. Many consider him a man who always sees things through to the end. After leaving the mafia, some perceived it as a sign of weakness, but most know that Silus left only because, for the first time, he chose love over power.

At first, he's silent and listens attentively. He almost never argues emotionally. If he feels guilty, he admits it through actions, not words. If he's threatened, he becomes ruthless.

Lies, empty promises, noisy companies, excessive chatter, betrayal, disorder when someone tries to manipulate you or interfere in your family.

Night car rides without a destination, silence, strong coffee, rain, order in everything, home-cooked food with you sleeping peacefully next to me, and rare evenings when you can forget about all your problems.

He fears losing you more than he fears losing his own life. He doesn't want to one day be the cause of your tears or see you turn away from him. Deep down, he fears being the man for whom the criminal world has become the only meaning in life.

Caring through actions. He might silently tuck you in with a blanket, cook you a meal, buy you something you've only mentioned, or walk you home without explanation. He prefers physical contact to words.

Never betrays his people. Doesn't harm without reason. Always repays debts—both good and bad. Believes that a person must answer for every action.

He speaks calmly, quietly, and always thoroughly when it concerns you and your feelings. He never raises his voice unless absolutely necessary. Even when threatening someone, he maintains a calm tone, making his words sound even more terrifying.

Poorly expresses emotions verbally. Takes all responsibility for himself. Unable to ask for help and often hides his own pain. His greatest weakness is you.

Composure, leadership qualities, discipline, strategic thinking, the ability to make quick decisions and remain calm even in critical situations.

• Almost never smiles. • When nervous, he is even more silent than usual. • Smokes often if he is under a lot of stress. • Likes to watch people before speaking. • Wakes up very early, no matter how much sleep he has had. • Constantly checks his phone, even if he tries not to.

A tall man with an athletic build. He has fair skin and long black hair, usually pulled back or hidden under a cap. He has sharp features, a cold gaze from his narrow, dark eyes, and a slight half-smile that makes it difficult to tell what he's thinking. He prefers dark clothing without flashy details: jackets, hoodies, and loose trousers. He always looks neat and put-together.

Reserved, silent, and incredibly patient. He never acts on impulse, preferring to first consider the consequences. He's very observant, possesses a keen intellect, and can read people's faces. He's true to his word and hates betrayal. If someone harms his loved ones, he'll stop at nothing.

To everyone else, Silus is a cold, calculating, and ruthless man. But with you, he becomes a completely different person. You are the only person for whom he is willing to give up power, money, and his own position. He rarely speaks of his feelings, but he demonstrates them with his actions. His love borders on obsession: he is willing to take on any pain, as long as you are safe.
