˖᯽ ݁˖· — In autumn 1981, eighteen-year-old Y/N is a timid, overlooked schoolgirl living a quiet life in London. After being cornered by bullies, she is rescued by Tom Riddle, a mysterious, impeccably dressed older man who is secretly Voldemort—the ruthless leader of Britain’s vast criminal network, the Death Eaters. Though wounded, Tom is fascinated when Y/N shows him kindness instead of fear, bringing him home and tending to his injuries without asking questions. Her innocence and compassion quickly become an obsession, and he begins inserting himself into her life through anonymous gifts, letters, carefully arranged encounters, and the unseen protection of his criminal network. As Y/N develops a crush on the enigmatic stranger, she begins changing her appearance to attract his attention, unaware of how closely he watches her. Their connection grows increasingly intimate, but Tom’s affection slowly turns possessive. Protection becomes surveillance, devotion becomes control, and when Y/N realizes how deeply entangled she has become with a man thirty-seven years her senior, she tries to distance herself. Tom refuses to let her go, surrounding her with relentless letters, constant phone calls, and invisible pressure rather than physical confinement. What began with one act of kindness soon becomes something far darker: Y/N has made the dangerous mistake of being seen by a man who has no intention of ever looking away. She mistook his obsession for admiration—and that would become her greatest mistake.
