Bang.
Mid-sentence, Cara felt a sudden thud at the back of her neck, darkness enveloped her vision, and she collapsed onto the bed.
Lizetta was standing with a metal pipe in her hand, carefully dismantled from a floor lamp just moments ago.
Seeing Cara go down, Lizetta quickly jumped off the bed and dragged Cara onto it.
Afraid that Cara would wake up, Lizetta tied Cara's hands and feet with some clothes and gagged her. Only then did Lizetta, panting heavily, slump beside the bed.
Even these actions had left her feeling drained.
But Lizetta had noticed, for the past two days, Cara had been leaving the house at 4:30 AM to do her shopping.
Time was almost up. Pushing herself to stand, Lizetta hurried out of the room.
The mansion was eerily quiet, allowing Lizetta to sneak into Cara's room with ease.
When Lizetta emerged from the room, she was wearing a hat and carrying a shopping bag, her head slightly bowed and back hunched, mimicking Cara's walk to a tee.
She grabbed the car keys at the entrance, took a deep breath, and left the mansion.
Outside, under the portico, stood two bodyguards.
Lizetta walked past them, heading towards the parking lot.
The bodyguards turned to look at her. Her bag tilted, and a pen rolled down the slope.
She quickly chased after it, picked it up, and continued on her way.
The bodyguards couldn't see her face, but the distinctive slight lean to the right in her shoulder as she walked, and her attire, left no doubt in their minds that she was Cara.
Lizetta managed to get into the car and drive away from the mansion. The bodyguards, accustomed to Cara leaving at this time, paid her no special attention.
Lizetta's heart raced as she left the mansion behind.

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....
