Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 505

“Let's do it tomorrow.”

Remington’s voice was deep, a cigarette dangling unlit between his fingers. He was a man of discipline, rarely indulging in the habit unless under the weather. Yet, the past two months of fruitless searching had seen him reaching for the pack more often than not.

Now, with Lizetta right in front of him, he didn’t want his smoking to affect her, so he had been trying to kick the habit for the past few days. But to his annoyance, what had been a casual indulgence seemed to have morphed into a full-blown addiction, stirring up an unexpected irritability within him.

Crushing the cigarette between his fingers, Remington withdrew his gaze and repeated, “Let's do it tomorrow.”

Turning to enter the house, Ray ran his hands through his hair, practically on the verge of screaming.

‘Remington, you said the same thing last night and the night before!’

This trip had been a rush, with the company barely having time to make arrangements. Thinking of Cedric, who was nearly driven to tears over the phone begging for his return, Ray felt helpless.

“Take care of the surveillance,” Remington ordered calmly from ahead.

Lizetta’s villa was rigged with cameras and an alarm system, so when Remington mentioned this, Ray knew that someone was planning another wall-scaling adventure tonight. It had become a routine over the past few days.
