Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Julien got released from his "cell" and taken to the courtyard.
The front yard of Lovelace Residence was packed with people as everyone had
gathered there.
Julien was looking fit. He stood tall in the middle of the courtyard. Joseph was
sitting on a wooden chair. Julien watched as his father sipped on his tea.
Aidan was standing respectfully by the side. They had also called on an audience
to watch the spectacle that was about to happen.
Julien felt extremely uncomfortable. His stomach churned.
Beyond the walls lay a modern civilization, yet within the confines of their home,
it remained a feudal society.
When he was young, he always thought that Mandy's actions weren't justified.
She was from the Lovelace family. This was a family that gave her such a
luxurious life. However, she would rather rebel and escape this family. It wasn't
worth it at all.
That said, his heart was being swayed right now. He was tempted to follow in
Mandy's footsteps.
"Kneel," Joseph ordered in a cold voice.
Julien straightened his back. He faked a slight smile. "Dad, what century are we
in now? We don't even have to kneel when we meet royalty. Isn't it time that we
move on from our feudal ways?"
Joseph froze.
Aidan chided, "Julien! You're the one who was in the wrong. You were the one
who put our family to shame. Is this how you apologize?"
"You asked me to admit to my mistakes. I did so. I have said what I needed to
say. It's not going to happen again in the future.”
It was not going to happen again.
When Julien said those words, it felt like his heart was bleeding. It was so painful,
as if a part of his heart was being cruelly cut out.
"I will not go to the Taylors" home in the future. I will never meddle with the Taylor
family's affairs again. I've already given in to this extent. Why must you humiliate
me like this? Why do you have to be so overbearing?"
His argument made everyone go silent.
Hierarchy held immense importance within the Lovelace family. No one else
other than Edgar Lovelace, Joseph's father, would dare to go against Joseph
himself.
"Julien, your association with the Taylor family has breached our Lovelace
standards. This is a grave error!" Aidan interjected instantly. His face was red.
"Dad has to punish you severely. Otherwise, will you even remember what you've
done? Can you?
"In the future, our family's values will lose their significance. Who will continue to
uphold them? Who will honor them?"
"Ah, so you're using me to set as an example to others," Julien scoffed, enraging
Joseph.
At this time, their butler had brought the family's tool for discipline to Joseph. In
full view of everyone, he said, "Mr. Joseph, here you go."
Everyone gasped. Julien's chest tightened.
The butler had a whip in one hand. In his other hand was a thick, long wooden
stick.

Julien's pupils quivered. Suddenly, he burst out in laughter.
"This is so interesting... It's very intriguing! I'd like to see how your corporal
punishment works."
