When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 931

Lemira Langston stared at the open chat window for a long time, ultimately typing nothing.

Orion had said he was at the hospital. Since he still hadn't come over, she wondered if Mrs. Amanda's condition had worsened.

Her mind was a chaotic mess, impossible to calm down.

Right now, she just wanted to be alone.

Debby watched her from the sidelines, anxious but entirely unsure of what to say. When it came to matters of the heart, an outsider's words only tangled things further.

The only person who could clear the air now was Mr. Everhart himself.

But he hadn't shown up, leaving everyone in agonizing suspense.

When the car pulled up to her apartment building, Lemira stepped out and walked away alone.

She didn't want to go back to the dorms; she just needed isolation.

Upon entering her apartment, she headed to the kitchen for a glass of water. The memories of what they had shared in this very space flooded her mind, instantly plunging her mood into a suffocating darkness.

The man's tender touches were still vividly etched into her skin.

The sweeter the memory, the more excruciating the pain.

Retreating to her bedroom, Lemira's gaze fell on his sleepwear. She took a deep breath, gathered the fabric, and shoved it deep into the back of her closet.

She collapsed onto the mattress, her thoughts spiraling out of control.

Closing her eyes offered no escape. Evelina's venomous words echoed relentlessly in her head.

Orion had approached her with an ulterior motive from the very beginning.

He had never actually loved her.

He was just using her feelings to clear Mrs. Amanda of any guilt.

It felt as though she had been trapped in a grotesque nightmare, one where Orion looked her in the eye and confessed to it all.

In that nightmare, he even had the audacity to set terms, demanding she drop all charges against his mother.

She remembered weeping uncontrollably in the dream, clinging to his hand and begging, *Did you ever even love me?*

But Orion had simply stared at her, silent and unyielding. He didn't say a single word.

Heartbreak and despair had consumed her.

When Lemira finally jolted awake, her face was soaked with real tears.

She lay there in the pitch-black room, her head spinning with a heavy, disorienting fog.
