Yolanda had stumbled upon a video circulating in the upscale Zion City socialite circles showing Stella being roughed up, and initially thought sharing it with Lizetta might cheer her up.
But now, she felt keeping anything related to Remington and his circle away from Lizetta was perhaps the kindest act.
As Yolanda looked down to close the paused video, her fingers slipped, and the video blared to life.
"Ah! Help, get off... It wasn't me!"
Stella's screams immediately filled the air.
Yolanda could see the smile fade from Lizetta's face.
Regretting her lack of clarity, she quickly dimmed her phone's screen, intending to pocket it, but Lizetta had already raised her hand.
"I want to see."
With no choice, Yolanda walked over.
The video, filmed by an unknown bystander, only captured the back of the hefty woman assaulting Stella, but Stella, pinned and kicked on the ground, was visible in clear detail.
Lizetta watched intently, while Yolanda cautiously observed her, worried that the sight of Stella in distress might trigger unpleasant memories for Lizetta.
However, Lizetta remained calm throughout, her gaze as if watching an inconsequential clip.
Once the video ended, Yolanda tried to lighten the mood, "Really, it's nothing exciting. Her screams, so grating, you'd think it was a pig being slaughtered..."
As Yolanda reached for her phone, Lizetta played the video again, looking up with a chuckle.
"Actually, it's quite satisfying, a real appetite booster."
Relieved, Yolanda said, "Well, in that case, let me get you some extra for breakfast. Don't let Ms. West's dramatic performance go to waste."
Lizetta smiled lightly, nodding. Yolanda turned to serve up a hearty breakfast, while Lizetta's gaze lingered on the video, her mind racing.

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....
