The next morning dawned bright and early, and Lizetta rose with the sun. Her first destination was the Dashiell Memorial Hospital to check on her elder brother, Thaddeus.
Thaddeus had woken up, and to everyone's relief, his recovery was progressing swiftly. By morning, he was already able to speak in complete sentences, using the hospital bed for support. When he saw Lizetta, his gaze shifted to the space behind her.
"Where's your brother-in-law? Didn't he come with you?"
Lizetta, busy arranging a variety of vitamins and health supplements on the table, nearly let her smile slip. "Big brother, since when did you start calling Remington my brother-in-law? You always used to call him Mr. Dashiell."
Indeed, Thaddeus had always maintained a formal distance with Remington, addressing him with the respect due to his aloof and dignified demeanor. Now, with her and Remington's relationship having shifted, Thaddeus's sudden familiarity seemed out of place to Lizetta.
She was about to suggest he revert to the formal address when Thaddeus's expression turned slightly anxious. "Did you two have a fight?"
Lizetta quickly shook her head, "No, nothing like that... We're good. It's just...you never called him that before, so it feels a bit odd."

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....
