When They Beg, I Rise!

Lemira stood firm, her mind made up about leaving the mansion for good.

Alaric scoffed, "Fine, get the hell out then! I'd love to see how well you do without the Langston fortune backing you!"

Lucian couldn't bear it any longer, "That's enough, Alaric."

"Lucian, look here, it was Lemira who wanted to bail on us first! She's the one turning her back on our family!"

Alaric's eyes were bloodshot, his emotions running high. He had already swallowed his pride today, yet Lemira still wanted to leave. Was she waiting for him, her brother, to get down on his knees and beg for forgiveness? Evelina quickly intervened, "Alaric, calm down, will you? Lemmy's just joking around. If she doesn't want to tutor me, it's fine. We have a private tutor, and I'm quite happy with that, really."

Alaric glared fiercely at Lemira, "Look how considerate Eve is, and then there's you. Have you ever stopped to reflect on your actions, Lemira?"

"Alaric, let's just go. I have some game moves I need to ask you about."

Evelina glanced back at Lucian, "We'll be off then, Lucian."

"Go ahead."
