Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 915

With a lesson like that right in front of him, Cassius couldn't seem to take a hint.

What else could he do?

"Yolanda is one of the most important people to Liz. She's practically family, and by extension, so am I. I don't want things to blow up so bad that we can't even be friends anymore."

Remington's voice was low and firm as he spoke, turning on his heel to leave the room.

But his message was crystal clear: if Cassius hurt Yolanda, Remington would be in her corner, no questions asked.

As Remington's presence faded from the room, Cassius ground his teeth in frustration, a restless irritation gnawing at him.

He couldn't even finish applying the ointment he was using. Frustrated, he tossed aside the bottle and made his way out.

He pushed open the master bedroom door, where Yolanda lay fast asleep on the large bed.

Though asleep, she was anything but peaceful; the comforter lay crumpled on the floor, barely a corner left draped over her feet.

Her nightgown was all bunched up around her waist, leaving her long legs completely exposed.

Cassius sighed, walked over, and picked up the fallen comforter, tossing it back over the oblivious, yet trouble-prone, woman.

"Clueless woman, you're gonna end up freezing to death one day."

Seeing no response from Yolanda and no signs of her waking, Cassius turned to leave.

But just as he turned, something landed at his feet with a soft thud.

Looking down, he saw it was the very same comforter he had just tossed over her.

"You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?" Cassius muttered, picking up the comforter, his voice tinged with irritation.

He assumed Yolanda was awake and just messing with him.

But when he turned back, he saw her legs twitching before she suddenly rolled towards the edge of the bed.
