When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 836

Orion entered.

He reached out, pulling Lemira protectively into his arms. The look he shot at Asher was icy, sharp as a blade from the coldest polar regions.

Orion’s voice was low and steely. “I warned you before—don’t come near her again.”

Asher’s face registered shock at Orion’s arrival, then shifted to something far more complicated. As a man, he could see clearly just how much Orion cared for Lemira.

Who would have imagined that the illustrious Everhart heir could fall for his own sister?

Unfortunately, his own sister couldn’t stand him.

Asher wiped blood from the corner of his mouth. “Lemira is my real sister. Who do you think you are, anyway?”

His answer came in the form of a fist—fast and punishing.

Reeling from the blow, Asher bent over, clutching his nose, obviously struggling through the pain.

Lemira stood right beside Orion, seeing his swift and ruthless attack with her own eyes.

Orion took a step forward, fixing Asher with a glare. “Lemira is mine. If any of you lay a finger on her again, I swear your family will never be able to set foot in Orvin again!”

Asher let out a humorless laugh, blood trickling between his fingers as he looked up. “Impressive, aren’t you, the mighty Everhart heir!” he sneered. “You’ve found yourself quite the powerful protector, Lemira. You win.

All my years of hard work, and it’s nothing compared to a woman who can hook up with someone more powerful. If I were a woman, maybe I’d have found out the truth about that car accident years ago.”

Lemira slapped him hard across the face.

Her tone was glacial. “That was for Mom and Dad.”

Asher seethed. “Am I wrong? Without Orion, how could you have uncovered the truth so quickly? What could you possibly use to take on the Sinclair family?”

Orion bit back. “Lemira didn’t rely entirely on me. She’s far more capable than any of you ever imagined.”
