Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption

Remington was already seated at the dining table when Lizetta paused, shooting a look towards Lina, "The food's great, but the company? Not so much. I'm gonna eat in the lounge." She turned to leave, the screeching sound of a chair against the floor echoed as a man's figure swiftly approached her.
