Madam of His Making Chapter 8
People started coming to the Gilded Lily to make Julian kneel, mock him for becoming someone's plaything, and laugh at how pathetic he looked.He tried going on a hunger strike. I immediately brought in someone new, which made his position even more precarious. If he wanted better food or a better room, he had to compete for my attention.When he tried to run, my men caught him and punished him for it.He begged for my forgiveness. I laughed and told him that his apologies would sound much better coming from a customer's bed while he was earning money for me.He even tried to hire someone to kill me, but everything he ate and used belonged to me. He didn't have a penny to his name. The only thing he had left to sell was himself.Once his would-be assassin had gotten what he wanted, he dumped Julian in a ditch. Julian was furious, but he had no choice but to swallow the consequences himself.He tried everything.The only thing he never dared to try was killing himself.Six month
Madam of His Making Chapter 7
I was the one who suffered, yet when my parents heard that I had divorced Julian, all they cared about was the shame I'd brought upon the family. They were so worried about the family's reputation that they wouldn't even let me through the door.Now, they had come here themselves. They must've heard what happened.Dad stormed in and pointed a finger in my face."Have you lost your mind? You're the daughter of a government official, and you've been keeping your ex-husband at a brothel and making money off him? Don't you care about your reputation? We Sullivans have a reputation to protect!"Mom was just as furious. "People were right about you. You're nothing but trouble. I should've left you to rot in that brothel when we found you."Julian immediately changed his tune. He was like a child hiding behind his parents."So that's why I kept failing my exams and could never win at the gambling tables! You've been bringing me bad luck all along! What did I ever do to deserve marrying

Even after everything that had happened, Julian was still trying to hurt me.He told Avaline, "Lure her here and put her to work. Once she spends the night here, her parents will never acknowledge her."He tried the same thing with the women at the brothel."Are you really content spending your whole lives here? Don't you want to see what happens when that pampered socialite gets dragged down to your level? Why should she get to stand on the shore with her reputation intact while you're the ones drowning?"They didn't fall for it. Instead, they made his life miserable.Julian was still determined.Somehow, he'd learned that Avaline had an adopted daughter who was the heir to the Gilded Lily. He came up with another plan.He started writing me love poems and songs, praising my beauty while portraying himself as a devoted husband trapped in a miserable marriage. He called his ex-wife cruel and heartless, claiming that if she hadn't held him back at every turn, he would've already

Julian froze. "Then I'll report you! I'll tell the authorities that you abused your husband!""Go ahead. I'll tell them exactly how you spent my money, how you ran up your gambling debts, how you burned me with those fire tongs, and how you tried to sell me to a brothel. Do you think the court will believe the daughter of a government official, or a compulsive gambler?"Julian went pale.After a long silence, he asked, "What do you want from me?""Come with me," I replied, smirking.Julian was frozen in place."Or don't. I'm guessing you have more than one creditor. It's up to you whether you want them tearing your house apart or throwing you in jail for the rest of what you owe."Julian begrudgingly followed me to Reverbia.He spent the entire journey trying to figure out where I'd hidden his papers.Unfortunately for him, I'd already sent them to Reverbia by courier and delivered them to Avaline.That night, we stopped at an inn in Reverbia.Despite all my precautions, Jul

The man raised the tip of the knife toward me."I didn't believe it at first. Could a woman really be this vicious? But I saw everything from the window just now. You took the money, counted it, and handed it straight to the debt collectors without batting an eye. What do you think he is?"Julian was still in the man's arms, but he didn't resist. "She treats me like livestock. I'm merchandise she can sell to pay off her debts. I used to be a scholar. I even passed my exams. But she starved me, locked me in the house, and hit my fingers with the back of a knife whenever I refused to cooperate."He held up his right hand, the one I injured when he tried to kill me."She wanted me to marry her. But when I did, it wasn't enough. She forced me to sign away my freedom and call her my master. If I got it wrong, she'd withhold my food," he sobbed. "Even when I finally said it the way she wanted, she still complained that I wasn't loud enough."She took a pair of scissors and cut open my c

Julian still had the habit of blaming everything but himself. He blamed the tools for being useless, just as he blamed me for repeatedly failing his tests. He never once admitted to his lack of ability.Whenever I complained that something in the house wasn't working, he accused me of wasting money and simply said that I didn't know how to use it. Yet he had no problem blowing that money at the gambling tables or spending it on his mistresses.The only reason I put up with him for so long was that I had been betting on him passing his exams. I imagined myself becoming the wife of a successful man, eventually enjoying a comfortable life as a widow. Looking back, putting my hopes on someone else was a colossal mistake.By evening, he'd finally finished all the chores.I nodded. "Starting tonight, you're going to work on your posture, the way you look at people, and the way you move."I reached up and gently straightened his shoulders."Keep your shoulders level and your back stra
