When They Beg, I Rise!

Chapter 455

Caspian gripped Evelina's hair without any mercy, his fingers entangling in her locks as if they were vines he was determined to uproot.

Evelina's tears streamed down her face, "I was all bruised up yesterday. If I had gone to see Lemira and the paparazzi caught that, the stories they'd spin... I just wanted to wait until the bruises healed a bit."

"You're lying. You could've snuck off to a clinic without the media sniffing around. You just didn't want to, did you? Trying to drive a wedge between me and Lemira, aren't you?" Caspian's anger boiled over, and he slapped Evelina across the face. The pain made Evelina see stars, her legs nearly giving out beneath her.

She quickly sought refuge next to Lucian, her eyes pleading, "Lucian, I really do realize my mistake. I'll explain everything to Lemira and get her forgiveness."

But Caspian, far from satisfied, pulled Evelina back and kicked her, sending her tumbling to the floor.

Lucian couldn't stand by any longer, "Caspian, stop it. Do you want to kill her?"

Caspian's face, bandaged from some prior mishap, bore a chilling expression, "She deserves it. If it weren't for this deceitful woman lying and causing strife between me and Lemira, we wouldn't be in this mess!"

Caspian had been restless, tormented by the thought of having misunderstood Lemira. The guilt was eating him up.
