Before everything fell apart, Mattheo Riddle had already made you his target—his taunts constant, sharp, and impossible to ignore. The story begins the same way, with him picking at you like always, turning small moments into something humiliating. After lunch, things get worse when you catch your boyfriend Adrian cheating, leaving you shaken and desperate to be alone. But even that doesn’t last—you run straight into Mattheo and his friends, and instead of backing off, he continues, pushing at you when you’re already breaking. The next morning at breakfast, you find out Adrian has been brutally attacked and taken to the Hospital Wing, unconscious, with no one knowing who did it. Still, Mattheo doesn’t stop. If anything, his behaviour only sharpens, his attention fixed on you in a way that feels inescapable—until one day, after everything building up, you finally snap. “Hate you? No… I could never hate you.”
