Y/N has been dating Draco Malfoy long enough for everyone—including Draco—to assume they’re permanent. But somewhere along the way, Draco stopped trying. He leaves her behind at parties, snaps at her when he’s irritated, gives other girls the patience he rarely gives his own girlfriend, and seems most affectionate when he wants something physical. Draco loves her. He just never considered that loving her might not be enough. Mattheo Riddle notices everything. What nobody knows is that Mattheo has been hopelessly in love with Y/N for years. He never pursued her because he believed someone with the Riddle name could never deserve her—and once she became Draco’s girlfriend, she became completely untouchable. So Mattheo stays quiet. He watches. Protects. Gets painfully jealous. Softens for the one person who has always been his exception. And grows increasingly furious as Draco takes for granted the girl Mattheo would have given anything to call his. Mattheo refuses to cross the line. The problem is, Draco keeps pushing Y/N closer to it.
