When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 961

After finalizing the details with the university, Lemira Langston stepped down, officially taking on the role of Vice-Captain. Timothy was now the Captain.

The administration had offered to let her keep the title, but she couldn't stomach the idea of holding the position without putting in the actual work.

Timothy was the perfect fit. He had the skills and the natural leadership required for the job.

Lemira joined the team for a celebratory dinner at a restaurant across from the campus. The conversation naturally drifted toward their futures in the gaming industry.

Some dreamed of joining the national team, while others wanted to become full-time streamers.

Listening to their passionate aspirations, Lemira felt a sudden wave of nostalgia. Not too long ago, she had shared those exact same dreams.

Back then, her only goal was to break free from the Langston family and build an independent life.

But then she discovered the disturbing truth behind her parents' deaths, and everything shifted toward an intense, consuming investigation.

Even now, it was the only thing occupying her mind.

Once this chapter of her life was finally closed, she promised herself she would chase her own dreams again. She owed it to herself to make this second chance at life count.

By the time they finished dinner, it had gotten quite late.

As the group stepped out into the crisp night air, a sudden wave of dizziness hit Lemira.

She stumbled slightly. Timothy immediately reached out to steady her. "Are you okay?"

"Just a little dizzy. I'm fine."

"You've had a bit too much to drink."

Lemira remained silent. The suffocating weight of her emotions had gotten the better of her, leading her to drink more than she intended.

She knew her limits and usually avoided alcohol.

But as the cold breeze hit her face, the alcohol rushed straight to her head.

"Captain Jones, make sure you hold onto our goddess! Don't let her fall."

"Yeah, man, it's your job to play the knight in shining armor tonight."

It was an open secret that Timothy had feelings for Lemira. But she was entirely out of his league, and with a billionaire secret boyfriend in the picture, she seemed utterly untouchable.

No one honestly believed he stood a chance.

But now that she had dumped the rich guy, the window of opportunity for Timothy was wide open.
