Everyone thought Y/N and Mattheo Riddle were forever. They were the couple everyone envied—the kind of love that felt impossible to break. She loved him through his anger, his flaws, and every part of himself he tried to hide. She believed that no matter what happened, they would always find their way back to each other. Until she found out he had been unfaithful. For months, Mattheo had been living a life she knew nothing about. And when the truth finally came out, the person she expected to fight for her the most was the one who let her walk away. So she left. But leaving someone doesn’t mean you stop loving them. For years, a part of Y/N waited for him to come back. She convinced herself that one day he’d realize what he lost, that he’d finally become the person she always believed he could be. But while she was waiting for him to change, she was changing too. Slowly, she learned how to live without him. How to laugh without him. How to build a life that didn’t depend on someone choosing her. Then Mattheo comes back—older, different, and finally ready to give her the love she deserved. The only problem? He’s finally ready at the exact moment she’s finally free.
