Cassius couldn't help but notice, not too far off in the shadows, there was a beat-up Audi that looked like it had seen better days, probably worth around $20k.
Someone dared to mess with him!
Already in a foul mood, Cassius adjusted his baseball cap and strode over to the car.
He leaned in and knocked hard on the driver's side window.
As the window rolled down, he didn't even glance inside; he just gestured with his hand.
"Get out here. Showing off your fancy headlights, huh? You believe I won't show you..."
Before he could finish, a hand with distinct knuckles reached out from the window, grabbed his wrist, and twisted it hard.
Cassius, caught off guard, grunted as he was pulled down, his body hitting the car door.
He pulled down his face mask, about to explode in anger, when a familiar deep, magnetic voice came from inside the car.
"Who the hell do you think you are?"
Cassius's eyes widened as he recognized the stern-faced man sitting in the driver's seat, lost for words.
"Remi? You playing tough guy now? Let go, you're breaking my hand."
Remington let go, and Cassius flexed his wrist, taking a step back.
Only then did Remington step out of the car, and Cassius couldn't help but look at the car that seemed so at odds with the man's aura.
"Remi, what, you're slumming it now?"
Remington shot him a glance. "What about you, playing peeping Tom?"
"I'm not spying; I was just about to head up." Cassius raised an eyebrow, feeling strangely superior.
It was clear as day that Remington was on a mission to win back his wife, sadly sitting in his car, waiting for a glimpse of the wife who wouldn't even look out the window to see him.
He didn't even dare let Lizetta know he was there, opting instead for a disguise in a beaten-up car.
Cassius was different though; he had sent Yolanda a message on WhatsApp.
"Need me to remind you how long you've been standing there? At least half an hour," Remington scoffed coldly, but Cassius remained defiant.
"She's probably taking a shower. She'll open the door for me, then I'll bring you up."
Remington mercilessly pointed out, "The lights upstairs are already off."
Cassius was speechless.

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....
