"Liz, wake up, we're here."
Lizetta was roused from her slumber by a clear, clean male voice beside her. She pushed her sleep mask up and glanced out the window to see the plane slowly descending toward Zion City Airport.
The surrounding buildings felt both familiar and foreign, leaving Lizetta momentarily dazed.
When she left, her heart was in turmoil, overwhelmed by grief, convinced she'd never set foot here again. Yet, unexpectedly, just four months later, circumstances forced her return.
And now, her heart was surprisingly at peace.
"Liz, have some water. Big bro's guy is already here waiting for us."
A thermos was opened and considerately handed to Lizetta.
Taking the thermos, Lizetta turned to look at the delicately rebellious face of Hamilton Madden next to her and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
"Man, when did kids start taking such good care of others? No wonder you're hailed as this year's top male star for making both moms and girlfriends swoon."
Lizetta took a sip of water, reaching out to ruffle Hamilton's uneven, silver-gray fluffy hair.
Hamilton met Lizetta's teasing gaze and shook his head with a proud air.
"It's nothing, just the superior Madden family genes at work."
Hamilton's grandfather was Nelson's younger brother, and Hamilton never imagined that his idol, the lady he had a crush on, would turn out to be his cousin.
However, he was only shocked at the family reunion, quickly accepting the reality.
In contrast to the haughty Andrea, who always acted as if she was above everyone else, thinking the Madden family relied solely on Nelson's branch for survival, Hamilton genuinely felt that Lizetta was superior in every aspect—personality, talent, beauty.
Who wouldn't want a kind, beautiful sister who could also write songs and choreograph dances for him?
With Lizetta returning to Zion City and Nelson unable to accompany her due to health reasons, Hamilton was entrusted with the task of escorting Lizetta.

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....
