Yolanda found herself in the kitchen as expected, where the housekeeper, Zora, was bustling about.
Before she could say a word, Zora turned around, her face lighting up with a warm smile. "Oh, Ms. Yolanda, you're awake! Feeling hungry, I bet? Master Cassius mentioned you might be, given the rough night you had. He asked me to prepare some light oatmeal and desserts, just in case your stomach's still upset from before."
The rich aroma of food filled the air, and Yolanda paused, taken aback. "Cassius really said that?" she asked, skepticism in her voice.
Zora nodded earnestly. "Oh, absolutely! He was quite worried about you. You even got sick on him in the car, and for someone as particular as him, well, that's saying something. He carried you to your room himself, took care of everything without letting anyone else, not even me, help. It's the first time I've seen him like this, bringing a lady home and all..."
Yolanda was momentarily stunned. Had she really thrown up on Cassius? And he took care of her?
A small part of her was touched, but she quickly brushed it aside. Cassius must be out of his mind, she thought. First, he gets her drunk, and now he's playing the doting caregiver? Maybe he was just acting; after all, he is an award-winning actor.
But real life wasn't a stage, and she had no interest in playing along. Yolanda shook her head, cutting off Zora's chatter. "Your Mr. Sterling suddenly isn't feeling well. Do you know how to contact a doctor?"
Zora froze for a second, then quickly put down the spatula. "He's not well? I'll call Wilson to come back right away!" She wiped her hands on her apron, grabbed her phone, and dialed a number, glancing at Yolanda. "I'll get the doctor. You should go check on him, Ms. Yolanda!"

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....
