When They Beg, I Rise!

Lucian frowned, "Lemmy, we should treat Eve like she's one of us. That's what the Langstons owe her, and more importantly, what you owe her. Got it?" "Lucian, for someone as ungrateful as her, if she had any sense, she wouldn't have pushed Eve into the pool. Mr. Sylas would do better saving a dog than her!" Lemira felt like she was stranded in a desert, chilled to the bone. If possible, she wished she hadn't been rescued.

Bearing the searing pain in her lungs, she spoke with a hoarse voice, "It's indeed my fault. It won't happen again."

She wouldn't make such a foolish mistake again. If they preferred Evelina as a sister, she would step aside.

"Did you really do it on purpose? Don't you know Eve can't swim? That could have killed her!"

Lucian was disappointed, thinking it was just an accident, not expecting Lemira to have intentionally put Evelina in harm's way. When had Lemira become so malicious?

At that moment, the family doctor rushed over, and Caspian turned to angrily rebuke Lemira, "You better pray nothing's wrong with Eve, or you'll suffer when Asher gets back." Lucian took a few steps, and then turned back to see Lemira soaked and pale, feeling a bit of pity. He said, "You should go change your clothes. The party is about to start." Lemira didn't respond, soon left all alone.

She waited till they were gone, and then bent over, coughing violently. Swallowing the blood in her throat, she steadied herself and headed back to her room.

Lying in the bathtub, she closed her eyes, recalling how in her past life, after being abandoned on the streets and hatred taken up her mind, she attempted to kill Evelina. But she failed. Asher had her committed to an asylum, where she was tortured to death by a caregiver arranged by Evelina.
