SUMMARY: Hadrian Peverell, new CEO of Deathly Hallows Fashion is looking for a partner to share the rest of his life as is expected of him. He doesn't like the suitors his parents keep on setting him up with because they can't deal with the more darker side of him.
Tomlin Riddle, just another unimportant intern just fresh out of university. He was determined, and did his best at his job. He hadn't spoken to Mr Peverell until the day his best friend Bella tells him that "Mr Peverell wanted him to get him a coffee" and deliver it to his office.

CHAPTER THREE
_
" Happily Ever After?"
_
Tomlin and Bellatrix felt half-dead as Bellatrix drove back to Wools Drive to pick up Nagini from Tomlin's childhood home.
Work had really taken a lot out of them. Bellatrix doesn't run. If Tomlin ever saw her running he should run too because something was probably chasing her.
He still couldn't figure out how she did all that in bloody pencil heels. His feet hurt and he was wearing sneakers!
It was Tomlin's turn to choose what played on the radio. The brunette went and chose a song that he knew Bellatrix liked too. She squealed when she heard it.
"See the world
While you're young and beautiful
Come with me
Build a dream
Life is here for us to see,"Tomlin started to sing along to B. E.R's Rise Up.
"Feeling new, all in tune
The melody shines over you
Let the music make the morning rule
With the beat that makes your body move,"Bellatrix carried on, bouncing in her seat slightly.
Tomlin took off his glasses from his face and turned it into a makeshift microphone. He held it in between them.
"SAY THE WORDS
RISE UP, COME ON AND GO WITH ME
SAY THE WORD
FEEL THE WAVE OF YOUR ENERGY!!"they belted out together.
They looked at each other for a moment before before laughing raucously.
All the way back to Wool's Drive, the two spent the time trying to see who could make the other laugh the most.

Bellatrix had won the game. Obviously.
As soon as the car rolled up the driveway, Tomlin jumped out and ran to the door before it could properly stop.
He rung the door repeatedly with no pause. He heard a male voice yelling:
"Don't get your knickers in a twist! I'm coming now!"
Tomlin was blinded momentarily by the sudden light from the house. He had to blink a couple of times before he could see his dad standing in doorframe.
"Hiya, Tommy, Bella,"he greeted happily to the two twenty one year olds.
Tomlin hadn't noticed that Bellatrix had been standing behind him, her heels in her right hand with her hair out of its bun and a big bush again.
"Hi Dad,"Tomlin greeted as he went inside.
"Hey Mr Riddle,"Bellatrix chirped before hobbling inside the house.
They hadn't expected two people basically crushing them.
"Ooh Tommy, Bella! You're back!"Merope exclaimed happily.
"How was your first day at work, dears?"Druella Black nee Rosier—Bellatrix's mother—asked the two as she hugged her daughter more tightly.
"Ella, Merry, I think that you're killing them..."Cygnus Black—Bellatrix's father—said with a chuckle.
"Oopsie! Sorry dearies!"Merope tittered. Both Druella and Merope let go of them.
"Anyway...How was your day at work? Did you like it?"Druella asked again.
"Hell no!"Bellatrix exclaimed, flopping down onto the sofa while Tom headed straight for the single couch.
Suddenly a mewl was heard and a ball of fluffy brown fur landed in Tomlin's arms.
"Awwww!"Tomlin cooed at his cat. "Nagi, did ya miss me honey?"he asked her while scratching behind her ears. She purred like a car engine.
"Aww yes, I missed you too, Nagi!"he cooed some more as he squished her close to him. She meowed angrily, but the cat was already used to this level of affection from her Human.
"Don't be a little git, Nagi..."Tomlin mumbled.
An indignant meow was all he got in response.
After everyone laughing at the brunet's and his cat's antics, Tomlin answered Druella's question.
"In my opinion, it was a wild day today. The people at work are just too random—think of it as like Mum on crack, basically,"he told them.
"Oi! Don't be mean to your sweet, beautiful, amazing mother like that! I carried you for nine months and gave you lots of huggies for twenty-one bloody years!"Merope sniffed. "And besides...When are you gonna find a nice girlfriend—or boyfriend? I want to see a ring on that finger of yours!"
Only two people could make Tomlin blush such a vivid red. It was his mother and another person he wished that he could forget.
"Mum!"he spluttered. "I'm twenty-one! Oh my god!"
"Excuse me, I was already married AND I had you on the way! Isn't that right 'Mas, My lovely husband?"Merope turned to the elder male Riddle.
"Leave me out of your insanity, Mero,"was all Thomas yelled from the kitchen where both he and Cygnus hid from their loopy wives.
"You're such a debby downer!"
"S'fine by me."
"Wow..."Merope tsked. She turned to her cringing son. "And you! I want some grandbabies after you've gotten yourself settled in the near future..."
"Muuuum...No. I haven't found anyone yet..."Tomlin muttered.
Merope sighed. She silently motioned for Druella and Bellatrix to leave. The two left without any hesitation, letting Tomlin and Merope to have a little privacy.
The salt-and-pepper haired woman knelt down in front of her son. "Tommy...Look. I know that you'll find someone who's going to love you with all their heart and not toy with your feelings like that dumb shite who broke your heart. You're truly precious and I'm not saying that just because I'm your Mum..."
"It was my own stupid fault that I fell in love with such a dipshit. You told me not to, Dad told me not to—Hell, even Bellatrix, the Mistress of Chaos herself told me not to fall for Damien Malfoy!
It still hurts whenever Narcissa invites me over for family dinners because that's one of her twin sons and I can't do anything about it! But Nik is a nice guy though, he doesn't rub it in my face that he got the little shite..."Tomlin mumbled.
He felt his eyes burn with the telltale sign of tears threatening to fall. But he would not allow that to happen. He had already cried enough for Damien and it took him a while to move on—mainly with the help of tubs of ice-cream, Nagini and Netflix—from their relationship.
Tomlin had known very well that Damien was player, but he thought (rather foolishly) that he would change just for him...
But no, he didn't. He had to find out about 'the side dish' from the grapevine while he still attended Hogwarts.
~*~*Flashback Start*~*~
A seventeen year old Tomlin Riddle walked down the busy corridors of Hogwarts with a faint smile on his face. He ignored the eyes that followed him as he walked because he was used to it by now. People loved to stare at him.
He was on his way to Chemistry with Professor Slughorn while Bellatrix had already gone to PE.
His life was going great. He had good grades, a few great friends, an awesome boyfriend that he could always count on.
What could go wrong?
He didn't see the hand that pulled him into a broom closet.
It was too dark for him to see anything at all.
"Tommy?"a familiar voice whispered.
"Barty! What the fuck—?!"Tomlin growled but was interrupted.
"Shh! I'm trying to help you, dumbass!"the boy hissed.
Suddenly, both boys were illuminated by the light from Barry's phone as he opened it.
"Dude, did you see the pictures?"the sandy haired boy asked frantically.
Tomlin frowned. "What do you mean? What pictures are you bloody talking about?"
Barty's sea blue eyes darted to the left. He wasn't sure if he should even tell Tomlin, but it crueller not to. The boy was his friend.
"Okay, before I show you what I'm talking about, please don't get angry at me! I'm only the messenger. And Reg too. He's the one who found the picture from Draco, yes?"
"What are you getting at, Barty?..."Tomlin asked with narrowed eyes.
"Mmm... Just look! I don't think I can put it into words!"
What Tomlin saw made his heart tear and his blood boil.
"I never sent those messages to him. I don't talk to him like that..."Tomlin whispered, his heart heavy.
"Both you and I know that you didn't,"Barty
"This is some kind of sick joke? Tell me you're joking,"Tomlin asked with a monotone.
"I wish that I wasn't."
"My Heart-It all drives me nuts, but in the best ways?
My Heart-Everything about you?
My Heart-I'm glad, I'M OBSESSED WITH YOU?!" Tomlin's voice went higher with disbelief as he read the Instagram post.
"._prince_damien_. THE LOVE OF MY LIFE Xx @NikLeStrangE? Who the FUCK is Nik Fucking Lestrange?!"he growled.
Barty slapped a hand over the enraged brunet's mouth.
"Shhh! Please, Tommy! Calm down. You said that you wouldn't get angry!"he whispered. "We already missed our Chemistry lesson. We don't want to get caught!"
Tomlin gave a high laugh. "Do you think that I actually care? My 'awesome boyfriend' is a fucking cheater! You have no idea how much I wanna slap this Nik Lestrange..."
"You can't! He's in the Year below us in Ravenclaw House. His parents are Rìona and Alessio Lestrange, idiot. Rìona and Alessio work with Lucius Malfoy at his firm. They are both crazy good at their jobs! You wouldn't them on your ass, now would you?"
"I don't care. I have my own money. My family owns one fourth of this bloody school because of my mother. The money keeps on rolling in every year, my dear. Never mind the fact that my father has his own inheritance from his family."
"I didn't know that you own one quarter of Hogwarts...How?"
"I'm the Heir of Slytherin, obviously."
"Don't get smart with me, Riddle. I was only trying to help you. Don't try anything funny or else,"Barty warned.
"Don't threaten me. I can still fuck you up like when we were seven. Besides, I'm not even directly angry with you. I'm glad that you showed me this, Barty."
"You're welcome, dude."
~*~*Flashback End*~*~
Tomlin had confronted Damien straight after school. There had been a lot of shouting and the like, but at least now he and the Malfoy were on better terms.
And his stupid self had gone to their wedding last year when they had invited him. He finished a bottle of whiskey by himself on that day.
Now Nikolai 'Nik' and Damien were going to have a kid.
Nik wasn't a bad person. Damien had told him that he wasn't seeing Tomlin anymore and that they had decided to keep their breakup quiet. So Nik agreed to date him. He wondered why Damien had even taken an interest in him when he had ignored him whenever their families got together.
But it was unfair on Tomlin that Damien had become a good man for someone else.
When will it be Tomlin's turn for a 'Happily Ever After' come?
