Lemira's expression was ice-cold, "No." She had no desire to look back. Nor did she wish to return to the team, to live the life she once had. Alaric seemed to falter, his face turning pale, unable to utter another word.

Lucian had been right. He had his chances to make amends, but ultimately, he failed to seize them. Entering the complex, Lemira didn't immediately head upstairs. Instead, she wandered around there.

She remembered the injustice she faced in her past life on the team, and this time, she had paid it all back. She was determined not to join the finals! Since Alaric had replaced her in her past life, giving the chance to win to Evelina, then in this life, she would cut off Alaric's chance to win.

Looking up at the sky, Lemira vowed not to repeat the smistakes.

"Hey, lady, you seem down." Suddenly, a middle-aged man appeared beside her, eyeing Lemira with ill intent, "How about coming over to my place for a drink?" "No need." Lemira, wary, declined and turned to walk towards more crowded areas.

"Con, pretty lady, don't go. I know where you live. Are those two guys keeping you? How much are they paying you? I'll double it." Lemira quickened her pace, running towards the outside, her pursuer's breath heavy behind her. A chill ran down Lemira's spine, not expecting a mere walk to turn into an encounter with a creep. Suddenly, someone grabbed her hand, causing her to scream.

"Lemira!" Orion held her hand, pulling her into his embrace, "What's wrong?" Opening her eyes, Lemira saw him. She instinctively looked towards the dark path of the small garden, but no one was there.

She calmed herself and said, "Screep was harassing me." "Where?" "Over there, but he seems to have backed off." Probably because he saw Orion, the man had chickened out.

Orion, seeing her pale face, sighed, "I told you not to cdown here alone." Lemira, still shaken, replied, "How was I to know I'd be so unlucky?" She then realized she was in his arms and awkwardly stepped back to maintain distance.

Orion withdrew his hand, asking, "Should we call the cops?" "Yeah, let's call the cops." At that moment, an elderly lady chimed in, "That path's camera has a blind spot: People have called the cops before, but they never caught anyone. Sweetheart, you shouldn't wander alone at night in deserted places. It's dangerous." Lemira nodded, not expecting such an ordeal.

Orion's eyes flashed coldly, but he quickly returned to his usual demeanor, "Let's head back first." Lemira no longer wished to stay outside, feeling as if eyes were still on her.

As she went back in the apartment, sitting on the couch, her mind replayed the moments earlier. "Have shot chocolate." Lemira saw a pair of slender hands offering her the warm cup, took it over and said softly, "Thanks." Orion, seeing her pale face, spoke gently, "I get to the bottom of this creep issue. As long as there are people, they leave traces. There's no such thing as a blind spot in this world." If Lemira was to continue living here, it was imperative to eliminate any potential threats.

Lemira looked up, "You mean hack into the surveillance system?" "Kid, don't mix up TV s with reality.

with a serious tone. "What you need c now is to get sXest' belongs to Love hat's illegal," Orion lecture& Swontent Lemira hesitated, "But that man knows where I live, and about you guys."

She omitted the part about being accused of being kept by men. Ith wasn't true, after all.

Orion's expression darkened considerably, not expecting someone to be so audacious. He spoke calmly, "Tonight, you'll stay here." Lemira nodded, "I can sleep on the couch." Orion frowned, "You take my room, I'll sleep on the couch." His room? Lemira's heartbeat skipped, "Isn't Thaddeus coming back?"
