When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 416

After a few days of peace, Lemira made her way to the team's headquarters, only to discover a film crew had taken over the place.

There, under a sunshade, sat Caspian, shades on, exuding his usual arrogance. Just the sight of him soured Lemira's mood instantly.

She could almost hear Caspian's smug voice in her head, plotting ways to corner her into submission.

The nerve of that guy, she thought, always lingering like a bad smell.

As soon as Caspian spotted Lemira, he sprang up. "Ah, my dear sister, you've finally graced us with your presence. Fancy a role in the movie? I can make that happen."

"I'd rather not. Since when do you have the authority to shoot a movie here, anyway?"

"The school gave its blessing. I've been planning this youth drama about life at Orvin University Team. Think of it as a sweet, coming-of-age story."

Caspian's grin was as infuriating as ever, acting as if their recent quarrel had never happened.

So, this was why it had been so quiet these past few days - he was lying in wait.

"Lemmy, why don't you make a cameo? It'd be a family affair."

Evelina stood nearby, dolled up in a preppy plaid skirt and ponytail, looking every bit the innocent girl.

Lemira's face was a mask of disdain. "Who said we're family?"

Evelina stepped forward, grabbing Lemira's hand. "Lemmy, I know you're still mad at me."

"Get lost!"

Lemira yanked her hand away, sending Evelina dramatically tumbling to the ground.

All eyes turned to them.

Evelina's eyes welled up, ready to play the victim, but Caspian was quick to pull her up, his smile not faltering. "Oh, what happened? Did you trip?"

Evelina shrank back. "Lemmy, she pushed me."

"Impossible. Lemira doesn't have the strength to push you over. Must've been your own clumsiness, right?"

Caspian's stare bore into Evelina, a clear warning.

Finally, Evelina nodded, her voice tiny. "I... I tripped on my own."

"That's more like it."

Caspian's smile widened as he turned to Lemira. "See? I'm on your side this time. No more accusations of favoritism, okay?"
