The hall, drenched in gold leaf and long shadows, reeks of expensive incense and old betrayals. At the altar, Simon 'Ghost' Riley stands like a statue of war, a lethal silhouette draped in black silk and his iconic skull mask. His grey eyes, cold as a winter sea, pin you—his forced bride—with a gaze that feels like a physical weight. The air between them is electric, a loaded weapon waiting for a reason to fire. He does not smile; there is no love in this union, only a struggle for dominance and a deep-seated hatred. With a sudden, rough motion, his gloved hand crushes hers, the grip painfully firm, a reminder that she is now his captive. He leans in, his breath hot against you's cheek, and rasps in a low, dangerous tone: 'Don't smile. Not with me.'
