Lizetta felt like her head was about to explode as she tried to calm the storm in her chest.
"Staying in bed rest for a month, really? And what's next? You'll tell me I need two months? A 'double confinement'?"
She couldn't help but wonder if her recovery was just a matter of his say-so, even after a so-called double confinement.
Remington looked at her with a deep gaze. "I'm not that despicable."
Lizetta scoffed coldly, clearly thinking he had a skewed perception of himself.
"We're divorced, we have nothing to do with each other now. Keeping me locked up is imprisonment and illegal. You can't keep me here forever. I'll call the police..."
Before Lizetta could finish, Remington handed her a cell phone, raising an eyebrow in challenge.
"So, you want to call the cops? Go ahead."
Lizetta laughed out of frustration, wondering if he thought she wouldn't dare.
She snatched the phone and dialed 911 without hesitation.
To her surprise, the dispatcher on the other end was quite patient, asking for details about her situation.
"Please, hurry," she urged.
But then there was silence before the dispatcher asked, "Ma'am, you're saying you were abducted from the hospital, and the person who abducted you is right there, letting you call the police?"
"Yes, I..."
"And what's the name of the person who abducted you? You know him?"
"Remington."
The line went dead silent for a moment before the voice returned.
"Remington? From the Dashiell Group?"

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....
