"Alright, then I want you to marry Stella right away!"
Stella's heart raced erratically.
Although Martin had warned her that the current pain of the West family was all thanks to Remington, she shouldn't fall for him. But when Remington appeared in that hellish little town, saving her from a dire situation, her heart was lost. She truly wanted to marry him!
"Remington, please say yes to Dad, the cops are probably getting impatient about coming in…"
Stella couldn't stand the anxious urging.
Remington tightened his arms, his brow colder as he interrupted Stella, his lips barely moving. "I can't do that."
Stella's face flushed with hurt. She couldn't believe that Remington would refuse. He had already divorced Lizetta, and under these circumstances, he still wouldn't agree to marry her. Was she that undesirable to him?
"But that's my only condition. After all, this was a promise you made to my wife, and it was her dying wish."
Martin was unyielding.
Hope reignited in Stella, she stood up and moved closer to Remington, her eyes reddened as she looked at him. "Remington, Liz can't handle the stress of prison."
Stella, full of pity and concern, cast a glance at Lizetta in Remington's arms. Seeing Remington still silent, she tiptoed closer, whispering in his ear. "I know you still care for Liz, I just want to help you. Just agree with Dad for now; we can get the certificate and pretend to be husband and wife…"
Stella was strategically retreating to advance; once she and Remington were married on paper. There would be no chance for Remington and Lizetta, and she had all the time to make Remington fall for her.

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....
