Keep your lies on me.
The first lie he told was 'I love you'. It was a seemingly small one with huge implications. I based my life on those three words. It's unreal how that one statement contained such life altering ability, but like the beautiful fool I am I believed him. After all he was a Malfoy what harm was there in putting my faith, my all in him?
But there were three other words that meant something as well.
Duty. Family. Honor.
It was my duty to give this marriage my all. He became my everything he was now my family. It was a requirement that I honor him. So, I saw the world through his eyes; I spoke the words he put in my mouth often mistaking them for my own. I hated all that he had.
Keep your touch on my skin
Fire.
That's what I felt the first time we made love. My body shook as he touched places that even I hadn't. Each caress, every kiss was him moving a piece further across the board. Even the removal of the contraception charm was part of his playbook. The termination of the pregnancy that resulted in my fifth year, a test in loyalty. Only one of the many occasions where I had to prove my love. Prove myself worthy to bear the name.
Love making soon turned to fucking. The act was only performed to sate his needs, and it was rough. Just as brutal as his nature. But once the endgame was achieved he came to my bed no more choosing to occupy a bed of one of his many mistresses.
My sadness soon turned to joy at the birth of my son. His male heir. The all too present sneer replaced by a small smile. He was joyful beating out his sister for rights to the lion's share of the Malfoy fortune. Lucretia had given birth to a daughter four hours before Draco made his entry into this darkness.
I'm at the end of the world you
My heart is loud in my chest. It's my nerves going haywire as I wait for Potter to make his move. Hopefully it's soon so I can get my son and leave. I hear the swell in Lucius' chest as the Dark Lord shines a rare ray of praise on Draco. We are over the precipice of ruin my husband just doesn't know it yet. I only hope that I can survive the coming tsunami, and that I can throw Draco a life preserver once Potter is victorious.
