Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption

Chapter 77

Evelina called Remington three times, and nobody picked up.

Thinking about what they were up to, she couldn’t help but slam her phone against the wall.

She stormed out of the club and even checked the hotel upstairs. She pulled some strings, but there was no sign of Remington and Lizetta booking a room.

So, did Lizetta tag along with Remington back to Oakridge Heights or what?

Weren’t they about to split for good?

Why the heck did she go back? What a homewrecker!

And Evelina thought of those suggestive noises she heard on the phone. It didn’t take a genius to picture the steamy scene, making Evelina green with envy, wanting to scream her lungs out.

No way!

She wasn’t going down without a fight!

Why should Lizetta, the phony princess, get all the good stuff!

While Evelina was fuming with impotent rage, Lizetta was zonked out asleep.

When she woke up the next day and moved a bit, the silky sheets caressed her even silkier skin, and the naked feeling brought all of last night’s memories flooding back.

The vision of a man on top of her, dripping with sweat and looking all kinds of sexy, made Lizetta’s cheeks turn crimson, and her heart flutter.
