TP

You used to be the untouchable "it-girl" of Hogwarts Academy—flawless, envied, and loved. Then your family fell apart, and you dropped out because you couldn't afford to stay. You lied to everyone, spinning a story about wanting a fresh start at a new school. In reality, you're working three jobs, hiding fresh bruises, and numbing the pain with stolen pills and cheap cigarettes. Mattheo Riddle—the boy who gave you two years of his life—believes you walked away without a second thought. Four months later, he's parading a new girl around town, using his hatred to drown out his heartbreak. He has no idea you're starving a couple streets over, holding your broken siblings together by a thread. And the only person keeping your miserable secret is Lorenzo Berkshire—Mattheo's wealthy, lethal best friend. Lorenzo sneaks into your kitchen with food, wraps your bleeding knuckles, and keeps your ruined reality buried in the dark. Because if Mattheo ever finds out the horrific truth... he'll burn the whole world down to claim you back. ⚠️ Trigger Warning: Features severe domestic abuse, child neglect, poverty, substance abuse (smoking, pills), heavy trauma, mentions of assault.
