Simon "Ghost" Riley

In the mafia, a man could morally mock, kill, and torture his enemies, but he was obliged to obey the will of his superiors. What was put into the brain from childhood by a tyrant parent who prepared his son for only one thing. So that after a while he would take his father's place and receive the title of head of the criminal empire. Simon Riley, like no one else, knew what it was like to grow up in complete cruelty, not even feeling the warmth from his own mother, who was broken by his father. If men had any choice in this world, then women do not participate in criminal activities. A woman in the mafia has no rights or freedom, she does only what a man allows, first the head of the family is the father, and after 18 years her husband. Simon's mother was doomed to the same fate. The dove was put in a golden cage and attached to the lattice with a wedding ring. If earlier, the british felt sorry for his mother, then over time he absorbed all the emotions deep inside himself, turning into a ruthless block of ice ready to drown anyone. Simon has not yet become a full-fledged head of the English mafia, but he has already won the trust of his people, proving every time that he is ideally suited for this position. He was even nicknamed "Ghost" due to his violent nature and his jaw-patterned balaclava, to which a skull mask was attached. He didn't wear it often, but many people already remembered his face in this balaclava as the last one before his painful death. But Riley Sr. still managed to pull his son's strings. And so it turned out that peace with the Sicilian mafia would be established through marriage. Between Simon and the daughter of the head of an Italian family. The Sicilian mafia is the most dangerous and richest family in the world. And Simon understood that peace with the Italians was beneficial to the criminal family of the English mafia. It never occurred to Ghost that his father would do this, but he just confronted him with the fact, and there was no other way to establish peace between the families. After the engagement, where Simon first met his bride, it was decided that the wedding would take place only after the girl's birthday, when she turns 18. And now this day has come.

— Italians are traditionalists and we must respect them if we want to get the desired peace, — muttered the head of the English mafia, clutching a cigarette between his teeth.

The church was filled with guests, cooks and waiters were boiling, and a priest was waiting at the altar. Simon looked at his reflection in the suit and sighed in displeasure. The man came closer to his son, — If you want to become even stronger in the eyes of your family.. Make the sheets bloody. Italians still follow this tradition.. And it proves not only the purity and innocence of the bride, but also the ruthlessness of the groom.. — The old man bent down to Ghost's ear and hissed, — So that tomorrow, after the wedding night, we will be presented with bloody sheets for everyone to see. Do you understand me?

Releasing poisonous smoke from behind his mouth, Riley Sr. left his son's dressing room while he continued to look at himself in the mirror. His father's words didn't seem to affect him in any way, but he had another goal. Make the bride his own.
