When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 30

Orion's slender fingers were wrapped around his smartphone.

It took him a while to reply, "I'm here to support her growth, help her climb out of her rough patches, until she can live freely on her own."

Thaddeus, always one to add a bit of spice, chimed in, "Till she grows up, starts dating, gets married, and has kids?"

Orion's brows furrowed slightly, "Something like that."

After her parents passed away, and with her brothers being less than reliable, she had faced a tough journey alone.

Orion swiftly changed the subject, "Got tickets for this afternoon's game?"

"The wild card match? You're interested too? I thought your brother made it straight to the finals!"

"Cut the chatter. There's another matter to sort out before the game."

Orion looked up at the sky, thinking he'd be there for her until she no longer needed him. If only her parents were still around, things wouldn't have been this hard.

Lemira made her way directly to the venue of the team's game.

Outside, she saw a crowd of fans, some holding support banners, including those for SkyBlaze. Even Evelina had amassed a small following.

Thanks to the efforts of Caspian's company, Evelina had become a somewhat famous influencer and streamer. Young, sweet-talking, and playing the innocent card had won her fans in the streaming world.

Lemira glanced at the fans' banners. Once, she had been a die-hard SkyBlaze supporter, actively sharing team news and managing fan groups.

With an expressionless face, Lemira entered the venue with her ticket.

Sitting down while gazing at those seats on stage, she found herself lost in thought. In her past life, she had been on that stage, leading her team to a hard-fought victory in the match.
