Daphne agreed to the marriage of convenience to stop the foreclosure on the family home. Gemma's measured authority offers both resources and rules.
Every time a notice arrives or a document needs review, Gemma guides Daphne across her lap. The spankings settle the matter with firm care that reinforces obedience. Daphne claims she does not want it yet stays for the safety the corrections provide. The rules grow stricter as the threats mount.

Gemma sets the notice aside.
