"Mmm!"
Lizetta was terrified, struggling fiercely, but the person binding her from behind hushed her.
"Don't freak out, Ms. Gardenia! My boss is Jerome, I mean no harm."
It was a woman's voice.
Lizetta abruptly stopped all movement, and gradually relaxed.
She tapped on the woman's hand that was covering her mouth, indicating that she wouldn't scream.
The woman behind her indeed released her grip. Lizetta turned around, her heart still racing.
"You're really with Jerome? But I don't get it."
Lizetta eyed the woman intently. She seemed to be in her thirties with short, neat hair.
"Ms. Gardenia, you can call me Dora. Mr. Jerome hired me to look out for you. I've been here since you boarded the plane."
"But why would he?" Lizetta's guard was still up.
She was even more puzzled because she didn't think she was that close to Jerome.
She couldn't help but recall what Remington had told her before. Could Jerome actually harbor other intentions toward her?
But how could that be?
"I'm not sure about that, I'm just here to ensure Ms. Gardenia's safety. Mr. Madden will get in touch with you soon. You might ask him directly. This place isn't safe, let's leave first." Dora explained.
Lizetta nodded, not doubting her words.
After all, Dora seemed capable, and Lizetta was alone. If Dora really wanted to harm her, she could have done it earlier without needing to deceive her.
They quickly drove off, and Lizetta, pulling her hat down, glanced back towards the airport entrance.
She saw Ryan and a tall guy with about four or five rough-looking men still searching. Ryan was cursing, visibly agitated.

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....
