When They Beg, I Rise!

Lemira caught a cab back to her apartment, slumping into the couch as she noticed a stain on her sleeve - a bloodstain, probably from when she helped Lucian into the car earlier that day. After changing, she saw a message from Orion. [Yeah.]

Just one word. That man was always sparing with his words, except when he was dishing out sarcasm.

During her live stream that evening, Lucian was incessantly sending her virtual gifts, which she tried to ignore. However, her fans couldn't help but comment.

[Didn't I hear that Streamer Lemon had some family drama? With all these gifts, he must have spent hundreds of thousands by now.]

[Regardless of any family spat, Ms. Langston's status is unshakeable. Lucky her, having such doting brothers!]

Lemira's mood soured at these comments. She messaged Lucian: [Stop sending gifts.]

Lucian replied: [Just take it. Living on your own, you need the money.]
