Reminder: this book is intentionally toxic, Lord Voldy hates everyone💀

Tom POV

I gently cleaned (y/n) off from our activities, using a quick spell to clean up her room as I had taken her in multiple areas and it looked as if a tornado hit. I pulled out my wand and gently placed a spell on her that would ensure she would never wake up until I got back into the room.

With the Ravenclaw diadem in hand, I made my way to the room of requirement and tossed the object into a deep corner filled with useless junk, hoping no one would ever find it. Though I was worried for my fiancé, I still had to remember the mission, to gain immortality and also make her immortal. And most importantly to punish those who disgrace magical beings.

"How dare you."

I turned my head to see the annoying ghost of Myrtle Warren. "Oh, it's you. Thought you moved on, she never mentioned you haunting these halls."

"Because I didn't want to hurt her by revealing the truth," Myrtle screeching, making me very relieved we were in a magical hidden room. "She'll be heartbroken when she realizes what you are."

"What I am?" I held up my wand. "I am the man that she loves, the father of our children. Make no mistake my fiancé is now pregnant. Even if she does find out, what do you suppose will happen?"

Myrtle's face was lit with worry. "You wouldn't hurt her!"

"I've done unspeakable things," I snapped. "I'll do anything to keep her, even if that means I have to obliviate her. Even if I have to chain her to me like a dog. Wouldn't you be happy with her living in ignorant bliss? It would really be a pity if you, or someone else, tells her the truth.

"I was right about you, you're a monster. She deserves someone better."

"Perhaps," I couldn't disagree with the spirit. "But she's bound to me already. So tell me, mud-blood. Will you let her live a quiet and peaceful life as she does now, or will you ruin it all for the sake of avenging yourself? It's honestly quite selfish if you chose the latter."

Myrtle gave me a look of fury. "I wonder how long she'll stick around when she learns the truth. You know she's going to outsmart you, even if she isn't as strong."

"When I get ahold of the elder wand, I will make you alive again," I said giving her a genuine smile as if I was talking to a sibling or whatnot. "Then I will kill you myself and watch the light die from your eyes, you filthy little mud-blood."

With the ghost gone, I was joined by my fellow death-eaters who were on the staff as well as some students. They had received a signal through our death eater marks (a mark (y/n) found odd) of the location and apparated just as quickly.

"You are not to tell her any of this," I instructed to Preston Livingston who came back to assist with games.

"Tom-"

I pulled out my wand and placed the cruciatus curse on the idiot who called me that name. "You insolent insect. You know only she can call me that."

"Apologies my lord," the man whimpered. "What is the next phase? And why won't she join us?"

Everyone paled, as if he had just committed an act of treason. Instead of lashing out, I grabbed his face and slapped him. "Because she is worth a thousand of your pitiful lives. When we take over the world, she will be beside me as my queen. They say that ignorance is bliss, hm? You will speak to and protect her as if she is your very lifeline, and she is. If anything happens to her while she is here, you undercover agents will pay the price. If she so much as cuts herself, your blood will decorate my walls. Do you understand? But do not mistake my words, she is the reason I chose to show mercy to you, because she knows you and cherishes each and every one of you sorry fools."

"Her only flaw is the affection and respect she has towards muggles and mud-bloods," Abraxas Malfoy said with a shrug. "My cousin means well, but we all know her weak little heart would break at the knowledge of what we do to avenge the name of magic."

As my second-in-command, Abraxas was also my cornerstone whenever I needed him, he was to be the best man at my wedding for a reason.

Dismissing the meeting, only one loyal death eater stayed behind.

"My lord?"

"Yes? What can I do for you?" Though she had married a squib, my respect for (y/n)'s mother was absolute, especially as she, Scorpius Malfoy, and Abraxas were the most loyal and let us hold meetings at Malfoy Manor as I did not want (y/n) to see the horrors we did back at our own estate, Gingham Manor.

She gave me a hard stare. "Do not harm my baby girl or son, do you understand me? Neither of them know about this, and they may find it shameful. Protect them both."

"I can promise to protect her," I said with honesty as I put my hand on hers. "But I cannot protect Philip. He chose his side by creating a group of muggles that knows about our existence and is threatening to tell the world."

"But he's my baby boy," she pleaded. "Have faith in him, my lord. If you have any humanity left in you."

"Cygnus Malfoy Livingston," I said with a gentle but firm tone. "You rejected the muggle world when your husband was killed. He was an honorable man and died in a pointless war. Like you, I rejected all aspects of my muggle life. My name should strike fear into all those that oppose us."

"Lord Voldemort is a fine name," Cygnus said with a careful tone but full of authority. "But my daughter will only know Tom Marvolo Riddle."

I knew she was threatening me and even though I could easily kill her here, I knew that (y/n) would be heartbroken and I wanted my children to know their only surviving grandparent. "You have my word."

When she apparated out, I made my way back to my sleeping fiancé, the spell I placed on her breaking as soon as I closed the door.

"Tom?" (y/n)'s sleepy voice guided me right back to bed where I belonged. She slowly sat up, the shirt she stole from me slowly coming off her shoulder and making me twitch. "What are you doing?"

"I went to use the bathroom," I lied to her. "Go back to sleep."

She nodded and I held her close as we slunk into bed, her gentle sounds informing me that she fell asleep again. I pulled the blanket over ourselves and kissed her forehead, eventually going off to sleep.
