When They Beg, I Rise!

Orion glanced down at her for a brief moment, his gaze calm and steady, which brought a sense of peace to Lemira. Alaric, however, was furious, "What do you mean by that? We're her guardians. What right do you have to do this?"

The lawyer blocked Alaric's path, "Sir, Lemira has filed for a restraining order for her safety. You're now required to stay away from Lemira for six months. If you attempt anything that could harm her, you'll be facing legal action!" Alaric was so shocked he couldn't utter a word, a mix of rage and guilt washing over him.

Lucian felt a wave of defeat. It was only then he truly realized he might lose his sister.

He spoke softly, "Lemmy, Lucian wasn't good enough before, and I let you down. But I promise, it'll be different from now on. Can't you just drop this, please?"

Lemira slowly raised her head, her eyes clear, "I think it's better this way."

Lucian felt a knot in his throat, his eyes slightly misty. He had indeed hurt Lemira. She now refused to believe his words, nor was she willing to return to the Langston family!

Alaric's eyes instantly reddened as he watched Lemira walk away. How could she leave? How could she walk away from the Langstons? She was their sister.

Alaric, in a panic, turned to Lucian, "Lucian, think of something, she can't just leave! We're family!"
