After My Fiancé Humiliated Me, I Ruined Him novel · Chapter 18 of 24
Chapter 18: May 30
The bailiff came at nine o'clock exactly, in a raincoat, with a roll of red tape and two men carrying boxes.
Then he sealed the shelves.
Every bottle in the shop.
Every flask in the stockroom.
The six old perfumes Julien's family had sold for twenty years, one strip of red tape at a time.
Julien stood behind the green marble with his arms folded and watched every strip go on.
He didn't say a word.
The bailiff went into the back room with his tape.
He stopped at the corner where the boxes stood under Julien's sign.
"And these?"
"Those aren't the house's," I said.
I handed him a folded invoice.
Fifteen hundred bottles, one hundred and twenty euros each, paid in full in April.
Diana Hayward, private customer.
He read it twice.
He looked at the sign that said DO NOT TOUCH.
"These belong to madame," he said at last. "I can't seize a customer's property."
"You knew," he said.
"I hoped."
He turned around and took my face in his hands and kissed me in front of both counter girls.
The younger one clapped.
Since Grasse, Solène had sent Ashton exactly one text.
