Today, the reason it's me sitting across from you, and not Mia, is to leave Ms. Yolanda with a bit of dignity. Ms. Yolanda, I trust you'll appreciate the gesture and won't let me down.”
It's almost laughable, really. Cassius's mother sent her away without so much as a greeting card.
It wasn't that Mrs. Sterling was stingy; she simply thought Yolanda unworthy. For Mrs. Sterling to take the time to dismiss her in person was, in her view, the highest form of respect.
In that moment, Yolanda saw Cassius’s face merge with Mrs. Sterling’s in her mind's eye.
She blinked, offering Cassius a mocking smile.
“Don’t forget, Mr. Sterling, I traded my first time for this leading role audition. My worth is genuine. If you can't handle that, were you hoping to back out?”
Cassius’s handsome face darkened instantly, his grip on Yolanda’s chin tight enough to crush.
Yolanda bit back her words, and after a moment, Cassius let her go.
The man zipped up his jeans, picked up his shirt, and before leaving, pulled out a wad of cash from his wallet and threw it at Yolanda’s face.
“This body of yours, I'm sick of it. Here’s the money for your surgery. Find a decent clinic. Maybe next time, you'll fool someone else into giving you a leading role.”
The money hit Yolanda’s face, scattering at her feet, with a couple of bills sticking to her chest.
Yolanda looked down, picked up the money, and flashed a bright smile, “Thanks, Movie Star Cassius.”
The response was the sound of a slamming door and the silence that followed.
Cassius stormed into the elevator, his phone ringing suddenly.
Was that foolish woman regretting her words now?
He quickly grabbed his phone, but his frown deepened when he saw “Remi” flashing on the screen.
He had forgotten, Remington was waiting for his update.
Now that things had soured with Yolanda, who knew if that foolish woman would still pass on messages for him.
As the ringtone was about to end, Cassius answered the call with a scowl.

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....
