Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 990

The moment Lizetta mentioned Stella, it was as if she’d tripped some silent alarm in Remington’s mind.

He couldn’t help but suspect Lizetta was trying to gauge whether he thought Stella was attractive.

At a red light, Remington pulled the car to a stop and turned to her with a look of exaggerated seriousness.

“I honestly don’t think she’s pretty at all,” he declared. “Maybe it’s true what they say—your face reflects your character. These days, when I look at her, all I see is something harsh and twisted. She doesn’t have even a fraction of the beauty that shines from you, Liz, inside and out.”

Lizetta stared at him, speechless.

She reached out and pinched his arm, hard, unable to hold back. “You’re overthinking this—and acting way too guilty for your own good!”

If he hadn’t spoiled Stella so much in the past, would he be this skittish now?

Lizetta’s gaze was anything but gentle; in fact, she looked downright mocking.

Remington let her twist the inside of his arm, then nodded obediently. “Whatever you say, Liz. I’ll take it like a man.”

He even rolled up his sleeve a bit, exposing his lean, sculpted wrist, the crisp white of his shirt pulling back just enough. “You want to take a bite to vent your anger? Go ahead. Ouch.”

He didn’t expect her to take him literally—but in the next second, Lizetta leaned in and sank her teeth into his wrist.

Pain shot through him, mingling with a strange, electric thrill.

Remington inhaled sharply. His lips curled into a lopsided smile, and he relaxed, letting her gnaw at him as much as she liked.
