Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption

Chapter 95

Lizetta was just about to say goodbye to Lucian when she suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.

She turned around in shock, only to see Remington had doubled back.

He yanked off the coat belonging to Lucian that she was wearing and tossed it back to him. Before Lizetta could even process what was happening, Remington scooped her up again.
