"I know, but what if your grandparents never accept me? Will Liz stick with me?" Remington asked, his eyes fixed on Lizetta.
He knew that if he wanted to be with her, he'd have to pass the test of her family's approval. He was willing to face any challenge, but he was up against Jerome, Mr. Nelson and Mrs. Dashiell's golden boy. From what he gathered, they were more than impressed with Jerome.
Remington wasn't entirely confident.
Lizetta leaned back slightly, a cheeky smile spreading across her face. "Don't worry. If my grandparents don't accept you, I'll definitely tell you to take a hike."
Remington was momentarily speechless. He knew it. A pang of disappointment hit him, yet he couldn't muster any anger towards her. He remembered a time when she had put him first, unconditionally. Somewhere along the way, he'd lost that version of her.
Determined, he vowed to win her back. If it took one year, two years, or even five, he wouldn't give up. Even if it took a lifetime, he'd wait.
Meanwhile, Yolanda entered the bedroom to find Cassius lying on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, his expression one of utter defeat. Recalling the doctor's diagnosis, she approached him gently.
"Are you okay? I didn't think a bump could be this serious. The doctor wants specifics, but don't get too down. Just tell me how bad it really is," she asked softly.
Cassius didn't move. Instead, he turned away from her, his back a testament to his despair. "Just leave me alone. I want to be by myself."

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....
