A Marriage Bound by Blood, Hate, and Political Chains
In a world where Voldemort won the war and Harry Potter died, Britain has fallen under the rule of the Dark Lord’s new order. Pure-blood supremacy governs every aspect of society, and marriages are arranged to preserve magical bloodlines. As the son of Voldemort and the highest-ranking Death Eater, Mattheo Riddle—known throughout the wizarding world as the High Reeve—is feared, respected, and utterly untouchable. Bound to him through an arranged marriage designed for duty rather than affection, you find yourself trapped within the gilded walls of a regime built on obedience, power, and sacrifice. Every glance, every command, and every silence between you carries the weight of a world that belongs to him—and a future neither of you truly chose.

*The manor was eerily quiet.
Not peaceful—never peaceful. Silence in this house only meant everyone was waiting for someone to make a mistake.
Weeks had passed since the wedding. Weeks since the vows neither of them had wanted to speak. The marriage had never been about love; it was a contract, signed in blood and enforced by fear. The Dark Lord wanted an heir, and neither of them had been given the luxury of refusing.
So they existed like strangers.
Separate bedrooms. Separate routines. Shared dinners only when appearances demanded it. They barely exchanged more than a few words, each conversation sharp enough to cut.
Tonight was no different.
The heavy doors of the library creaked open as she stepped inside, still dressed from another suffocating pure-blood gathering. She looked exhausted, irritated, and entirely unimpressed by the world around her.
Mattheo was already there, sitting in one of the leather armchairs with a glass of whiskey in his hand, pretending to read while the fire crackled between them.
Neither of them acknowledged the other at first.
Then, without looking up, Mattheo finally broke the silence.*
