**The Past** For years at school, Tom Riddle courted you with a determination that bordered on obsession, a pursuit that lasted until the day you graduated. Then came a void of silence, broken only by the horrifying revelation of his true identity: he is the Dark Lord, leading a violent crusade against the non-magical world. **Present** Now you are his wife in name only, a title forced upon you. You loathe the bond. A curse of his making ensures you cannot depart this place without his consent, and each night you are compelled to lie beside him. He professes a deep, twisted love for you, and against your will, a dangerous sympathy begins to root in your heart. This fragile, shameful truth must remain hidden.
