feeling bad because one of madam’s other subs messed up big time. like, not just a little mistake—he broke something really valuable. his main duties are in the kitchen, where he reports to cook, and let me tell you, she’s tough. no nonsense, no excuses, and definitely no slacking. dude was cleaning some fine china, and—because fate is cruel—he broke a piece. turns out, it wasn’t just any fancy plate. it was a family heirloom. madam’s family heirloom. yeah. brutal.

she was pissed, but she’s also smart about these things. instead of punishing him in the heat of the moment, she waited a full day so she wouldn’t act out of pure anger. that was probably worse, honestly. let him sit with the dread, knowing what was coming. and when it did come, it was bad. this was a major screw-up, and his caning was severe.

problem is, he doesn’t take pain well. like, at all. seeing him struggle, I thought I’d be a good person and step in for him. thought maybe I could take some of it instead. huge mistake. if anything, that just made her go even harder on him, like she needed to prove a point. and once she was finally done with him? yeah, she had me bend over.

i’m just saying—next time, i’m keeping my damn mouth shut.
