Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 541

Lizzie’s deepest, most hidden emotions, the ones she'd buried far from sight, were ruthlessly torn open by him, leaving her raw and exposed.

She glared at him, frustration boiling over. “Remington, you’re so full of yourself!”

“You push away my kiss, yet you don’t despise it. I can tell,” he said, his words a cold, cruel revelation.

Even through the pain, even if it suffocated him, he was determined to awaken her love for him.

His stance had been unwavering from the start.

Foolishly, she had thought his agreement to divorce meant he had seen reason, that he was finally letting her go, no longer clinging to her.

Lizzie’s face paled in an instant, despair in her gaze as she looked at Remington.

Her lips trembled, words failing her.

Remington gently caressed her chilled cheek, “You want a divorce, custody of Daisy, your freedom; I’ll grant it all.

But you need to give me something in return, let me know I’m doing the right thing, not just pushing you further away!”

He was letting go just enough to hopefully win her back, not to truly lose her to another.

Lizzie saw the possessive madness in his eyes, her own eyes beginning to sting with tears.

Remington, stroking the redness under her eyes, softly said, “Liz, after the divorce, let’s bury all our past grievances.

Let’s start over, this time I’ll be the one courting you, from scratch, okay?”

Courtship, romance…

Such beautiful concepts.

Especially coming from a man like Remington, from the man she’d been infatuated with for so many years.

Like the sweetest honey, tempting.

Lizzie was speechless, her usual refusals and cold words locked away, unspoken.

Especially when that woman was still deeply in love with him, determined to have him.

“Remington, I’m begging you, let me go, please stop bothering me, okay?”

Remington gazed at her dimmed face, but his mind flashed back to the moments she and Yolanda were together, how she radiated happiness.

His throat felt choked with grit, grinding painfully.

Looking into her eyes, welling up with tears again, he asked, “What if I send Stella abroad?”

Lizzie froze, her heart skipping a beat before racing uncontrollably.

But she dared not let herself hope too easily, steadying her breath as she looked at Remington.

“Then come find me once you’ve sorted things out with Stella.”

Whether he could truly do it remained to be seen, for Lizzie felt this was no simple matter.
