"Nothing, really. I guess I'm just a bit nervous about going on stage tomorrow."
She tried to hide her unease from him, offering him a fleeting smile as she looked up. "You coming to the show?"
Over the past week, Remington had been bending over backwards to make things right with her. He'd spent every spare moment with her, supporting her in everything she wanted to do.
Yet, there was always this distance between them, a lukewarm vibe that prevented things from going back to how they used to be.
This was the first time since their wedding that she had taken the initiative to invite him to anything. Remington was momentarily taken aback, almost flattered by her gesture.
He took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders, pulling her close and playfully tapping her nose. "When my wife invites me, of course I'll come."
Lizetta looked up at him, with a smile blooming on her face. Her eyes sparkling with joy, she was clearly delighted.
It had been over four years since she last took the stage, and she was genuinely happy about it. This time was special because Daisy would be performing with her, giving it an entirely new meaning.
She truly hoped Remington, as Daisy's dad, would be there in the audience. It was like a farewell gift for Daisy.
And perhaps, it was also a way to put a period at the end of the chapter for her and Remi.
Remington looked down at Liz, his gaze deepening. He wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her closer and kissed her forehead softly. "Babe, it's been a while since you've smiled at me like that."
The smile made his heart itch with longing. He tilted his head, about to kiss her lips when they were interrupted by a familiar voice.
"It's cold outside. Why don't you and Liz get in the car to talk?"
Lizetta abruptly turned, seeing Stella smiling from the backseat of the car parked ahead, the window rolled down.

The readers' comments on the novel: Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington)
Does evil really triumph always above the good in this novel ? How comes Stella's evilness has no end? Does the author believes that by giving justice and importance to bad people like Stella will make this novel interesring? I am starting to lose my patience and ask when will the writer finally will realize that the protagonist is Lizetta and not Stella....
