Lizetta stared blankly at the man before her, on the verge of surrendering for a moment, as she extended her hand to comfort him.
But she snapped back to reality, pushing him away forcefully, her brows furrowed. "It's different! Don't try to confuse me!"
She tried to turn away, but he wrapped his arms around her waist again, his eyes filled with helpless resignation. "How is it different, Liz? Don't be so hard on me."
Lizetta bit her lip, looking down. "My brother never hurt me!"
Her words didn't accuse him directly, but each one reminded him of the pain he had caused her. Like a series of soft needles, they pierced into Remington's heart, making his expression stiffen.
Lizetta continued, "Of course, if you think I'm being hypocritical, after we get divorced, you can just be my brother again. Considering how you used to take care of me, if you ever needed it, I'd take care of you, even if you were paralyzed."
Remington was speechless.
"Let go," Lizetta indicated.
Remington looked into her cold eyes and sighed deeply, reluctantly releasing his hold on her. But as she turned away, he couldn't bear it, pulling her back into his embrace, asking, "Liz, what do I need to do for you to forgive me?"

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....
