At the West family mansion.
Stella was carried into the house by two of the staff, her face bearing the clear marks of two slaps, with the extent of her injuries elsewhere yet unknown. The staff gently laid her on the living room couch, and Stella immediately felt a sharp pain in her lower back and abdomen.
"Ah! You useless fools, you're pressing on my injuries!" Recovering from the jolt of pain, Stella shrieked and pushed the staff away. The staff members, flustered, hurriedly said, "Miss, is it your back that's badly hurt? Quick, let's have Miss lie on her stomach."
Saying this, they, along with two other staff members, helped Stella turn over. This resulted in Stella screaming again, her face beaded with cold sweat from the pain. As the staff members fumbled to help her up, Stella nearly cried out, "Get away from me! Don't touch me!"
While the staff members stood around, uncertain of what to do, Martin, who had been asleep, was woken up by the noise and came downstairs. "What's all this racket?"
"Dad, I... I got beaten up. Dad, you have to find out who did this, we can't let her get away! I want her to kneel before me and pay back a hundred, no, a thousand times!"
"Someone call the doctor, now!" Martin barked at the staff, who hurriedly went to make the call. Only then did Martin turn to Stella, frowning. "Enough with the noise, what exactly happened?!"

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....
