And yes, he did!
Cyrus seemed heartless too!
Cyrus turned on his phoneâs camera and ordered Lucinda, âKeep your back straight and put on a pitiful expression.
Quick, Iâll send it to Graham.
â
Lucinda obeyed reluctantly.
After sending Graham the picture of Lucindaâs miserable punishment, Cyrus handed her a pillow and said, âHere, put this under your knees.
â
Lucinda took the pillow and asked anxiously, âWill Graham find out?â
âI wonât tell him.
Even if he does find out, itâs fine.
Graham cares about you a lot.
Heâll probably feel sorry for you as soon as he sees the photo I just sent him,â Cyrus replied.
Lucinda pouted.
She didnât feel like Graham cared about her at all.
He had made her kneel for two hours.

Cyrus squatted down to help her with the pillow and continued in a kinder tone.
âGraham is just really angry right now, but heâs worried about you getting hurt.
Youâre too impulsive, Lucinda.
Think things through next time before acting.
Be more considerate, okay? Even if you want to beat someone up, you canât leave any evidence.
You have to be more careful.
â
Lucindaâs mind wandered as she listened to Cyrus rambling on.
Cyrus continued talking for what seemed like ages.
After a quarter of an hour had passed⦠Cyrus asked, âLucinda, do you understand?â
Lucinda nodded, âYes, I understand.
â
She kneeled listlessly and gazed at the clock on the wall.
Time always seemed to drag on when one was being punished.
Lucinda also felt Like a coward in front of Graham.
She had been that way since she was a child.
Even her parents couldnât control her when she misbehaved as a child, but Graham had managed to tame her every single time.
Lucinda was determined to prove herself next time.
The next time she saw Graham, Lucinda promised herself to confront him firmly.
âYou always punish me, you bastard!â she would say while grabbing his collar.
âWait!â she exclaimed, halting her previous plan.
Lucinda realized she couldnât insult him, especially since he was her brother.
After all, he was her brother, and she needed to keep that in mind.
