Yulen had been surrounded by women—his mother and three older sisters—who sacrificed everything for him his entire life. To him, women existing to serve and endure men was simply the natural order of the world.
"Of course. If I had a daughter, I would raise her to understand her duties. Sacrificing for your man is exactly what a woman is supposed to do."
It wasn't an act; he genuinely meant every word. Winona let out a hollow laugh. She had been so unbelievably blind, wasting five years of her life before seeing the terrifying reality of the man standing in front of her.
Realizing Yulen still had a grip on her wrist, she drove her heel hard into his shin. Yulen went pale, gasping as he let her go.
Disgusted beyond words, Winona turned on her heel and walked out.
Tallulah ignored the stinging in her cheek and rushed to support Yulen. "She's out of control, Yulen! How could she hurt you like that?"
Yulen waited for the throbbing in his leg to subside before shaking his head. "She never used to be like this. It's my fault for spoiling her... Now that Stefan Goddard is playing games with her, she's completely lost her mind. Once he throws her away, she'll realize I'm the only one who ever truly loved her."
The night before, Yulen had been drinking with his wealthy friends. Depressed over losing Winona, he had spilled the details of their relationship.
His friends had ruthlessly mocked him. "Your biggest mistake was treating her like an equal," one friend had scoffed. "Guys with our kind of money can have any girl we want. If you take a girl from a normal background, you have to establish dominance early. Give her an allowance, keep her in a nice apartment, and never let her think she has a say in your life. Once she gets used to the luxury, she'll never leave. You ruined her by giving her real love, offering her the title of a wife, and making promises. Only broke guys offer loyalty and love because they don't have money! We just throw cash at them, and they fall in line. You treated her like a wife instead of a pet, and that's why she left you."
