When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 818

Now that she knew exactly which man at the dealership was Evelina’s father, the most important thing was to inform Orion so he could make the arrest.

She had waited so long—finally, the day had arrived.

Thankfully, Evelina’s father had been bold (or foolish) enough to believe that hiding in plain sight was safest, so he never left. That had given her the time she needed to track him down.

“Lemmy, where are you going?” Lucian hurried after her, obviously anxious. “I know you still hold a grudge against Asher, but at least he understands he was wrong. It hasn’t been easy for us, either. Every day has felt like an eternity. If you need help, just say the word.”

Lucian’s sincerity was unmistakable.

He’d been plagued by guilt lately; he hadn’t really slept in days.

“I don’t need anything for now. I’ve told you—when I do need your help, I won’t be shy about asking.”

“So where are you headed now? Let me drive you.”

“That’s not necessary.”

Lemira gave Lucian a look. “And you can stop sending people to follow me around. What’s the point of these little games?”

Lucian looked embarrassed. “That was actually Asher’s idea. He’s just worried you might get yourself into something you can’t handle. There’s nothing more to it.”

They were just concerned for Lemira’s safety. After all, the Sinclairs weren’t exactly easy to deal with.

“And where was your concern when things were truly the worst?” Lemira shot back, her expression icy. “I got through all of it by myself. Now, when everything’s almost over, you all finally want to pitch in. Isn’t that just a little bit ridiculous?”

She knew exactly why they were suddenly so interested: they wanted to find out where Evelina’s father was. Lemira suspected their motives went beyond simply avenging their parents.
