Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption

Chapter 314

Lizetta shot Remington an annoyed glare, her words defiant despite her flushed face. “Me, call out? You must’ve heard wrong.”

Just moments before, they were nestled together, listening to the heartbeat of their unborn child. Their hands caressed Joy, their soon–to–be baby, in an embrace that felt like the epitome of bliss, a perfect little family moment.

Caught up in the moment, Lizetta couldn’t help but call out without even realizing it.

“If you won’t call out, I’ll just have to kiss you.”

Lizetta’s cheeks burned hotter, but a sly spark danced in her bright eyes. She tilted her head up, her lips meeting his in a preemptive strike.

Remington paused, taken aback, but then his breathing became erratic, and he took control of the kiss, deepening it.

They were lost in each other’s embrace under the warm winter sun, Lizetta with her eyes closed, never feeling as close to him as she did at that moment.
