In the Shadows (Mattheo Riddle)

chapter 44

"Miss Malfoy" he stated, his daggers staring at me. "Come with me."

Oh fuck.

"Sir, I was just on my way to dinner." I said trying to walk around him.

"Now." He hissed.

The boys looked just as confused as I did, "Whatever she did, I did" Mattheo added.

"Get to dinner" he ordered at them, guiding me up to his office.

I sat in a chair, looking around, very confused on why he would call me here.

"You don't look well." He said sitting across from me.

"Good observation!" I rolled my eyes.

"Your father wrote me, he wanted me to tell you he is proud of you and the way you behaved." He let out a sigh.

"Oh is that so?" I chuckled and shook my head.

"Whats so funny Miss Malfoy?" He looked confused.

"Tell him, I don't give a fuck if he's proud of me!" I stated.

"Language!" He shouted back.

"No!" I shouted back, throwing myself out of the chair, "He can go to hell! He's not my father! What father would do this to their child? He is no one to me, I hate him! The lot of them!" I now had a single tear rolling down my face.

"Miss Malfoy" I cut him off by walking towards the door, "its fine" and I slammed it behind me.

I went straight to my room. I needed to be alone. Who the fuck did my dad think he was to feel proud of me? After what he did to me? Unbelievable. Some nerve he had.

I found my self looking in my mirror again. The nasty gash. The dark eye. I was still so fucking angry. A different type of anger, the type that never goes away. The type that stays with you forever.

I heard my door open,

"don't tell me your staring in that mirror again!" Mattheo shouted into the room.

I quickly turned the corner, "Of course not!" I tried to laugh it off

"I didn't pin you for a liar Malfoy" he smirked coming closer to me. "Stop looking at it, its not going to go away."

"Its not the eye, or the cut. I don't know the girl staring back at me anymore." I sighed.

He cupped my cheeks, "Well I do, and she is the most beautiful soul I've ever touched" he placed a kiss on my forehead. He could tell I wasn't buying it.

"c'mon lets go downstairs, everyones hanging out by the fire it'll be good for you" he tried to pull my hand.

But I didn't want to be around everyone, I just wanted to be around him. So I stood my ground.

"come on Amelia, you can't stay in here all day and night" he once again tried to pull me out. I could tell he wasn't getting the hint. On the next arm pull I pulled him back to me, bringing us nose to nose.

"Oh" he smirked. It only took him forever.

I reached my arm up to his face, pulling it down towards mine, into a deep kiss, that quickly got rough. I pushed him into the closest wall, which I could tell made him mad. He didn't like not being in charge. So we swung me off the wall and pushed me onto my bed. He got on top of me, moved my hair out of my face, and went to my ear.

"as much as I would love to fuck you right now, you've had a rough 24 hours." He said as he looked me in my eyes.

I slapped him off of me, "Are you kidding me?!" I rolled my eyes.

"No I'm not kidding you Amelia, seriously you need rest, the second I think I could I promise I will" he winked.

I was almost insulted, but at the same time loved that he stopped to think about me like that. I know I haven't.

He laid in the bed next to me, and rubbed my back to sleep.
