"Speak up!"
Cassius, growing impatient with Yolanda's silence, furrowed his brow.
Yolanda forced a smile, hiding the bitter sting in her heart. "Mr. Sterling, as long as you're not turning your love into hate, I'm fine with it. I couldn't handle that."
Her breezy attitude made Cassius's expression darken instantly. He grabbed Yolanda's wrist, frustrated. He wanted to ask her how she could be so indifferent after their breakup, how she could move on so quickly and start dating others.
Just as he was about to speak, there was a knock at the door.
"Mr. Sterling, the doctor has arrived. We're coming in."
Yolanda quickly scrambled off Cassius, making way as the doctor entered, carrying a medical bag.
She stepped back to the side of the couch to give the doctor room.
The doctor approached. "Lie down, please. Let me examine you..."
He reached for his stethoscope, but Cassius stopped him. "No need for that. It's not my internal organs that are hurt."
"Didn't you say it was a stomach issue?" The doctor looked puzzled.
Cassius glanced at Yolanda. "I'm about to be examined. Do you want to stay and watch?"
Yolanda didn't particularly mind; she'd seen it all before. If the doctor had been any later, she might have already started examining Cassius herself. But with the doctor present, the situation felt a bit awkward with three people in the room.

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....
