On the way to the cemetery, Lizetta Gardenia was in a somber mood, silent throughout the journey.
Remington Dashiell reached out, drawing her cold hand into his warm, large palm, enveloping it securely, and never let go.
Perhaps it was the warmth of his hand, or maybe she was grateful to him for giving their little Daisy the dignity in her final resting place, and a spot for Lizetta to visit when she missed their child.
The cemetery was located on the outskirts of Zion City. As they arrived, the last traces of the sunset faded into darkness.
The wind picked up, and despite being the most prestigious cemetery in Zion City, with its scenic hillside and well-maintained grounds, it couldn't shake off a sense of solitude.
Remington kept holding Lizetta's hand, guiding her up the steps, passing rows of tombstones.
A cemetery caretaker descending from the hill didn't shy away upon seeing Remington; instead, he greeted him with a smile.
"Mr. Dashiell, visiting the little master again, I see. Looks like we might have a change in the weather soon."
"Mr. Jackson, I'll be leaving shortly," Remington replied, nodding at the older man as he continued to lead Lizetta up the hill.
It was unusual for Remington to bring a woman along, and as they passed, Mr. Jackson couldn't help but scrutinize Lizetta.
Surprised by Remington's politeness towards this man, Lizetta met Mr. Jackson's gaze and nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
Mr. Jackson, however, turned back to watch their departing figures, sighing to himself, realizing this beautiful woman must be the child's mother.
They seemed like a well-matched pair, a pity about their loss.
Daisy's grave was located at the highest, most scenic part of the cemetery. As Remington brought Lizetta to the grave, she saw the inscription on the tombstone: "Beloved child, Daisy," with their names listed below.
Instead of a photo, there was an image of a cherubic baby smiling with chubby cheeks – innocent and adorable, just as Lizetta had imagined their Daisy would look.

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....
