Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption

He grabbed her hand, forcing her fingertips to brush against his lips. His lips were stained with a crimson hue, marking her fingertips and the back of her hand. The hospital's lobby was deserted at night.

But there were still staff members on duty in the corners. Lizetta leaned against the man, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment and anger, her almond eyes veiled with a thin mist of shame. "Psycho!"

She pushed against him, her eyes clear of any emotions.

Remington stared into her eyes, feeling a tightness in his chest as he smirked coldly.

"My love is cheap, but how much better is your love that you can turn on and off at will?"

Lizetta pushed him away again.

"Yes, my love is easy to turn on and off, and it is cheap! Mr. Dashiell, go find Stella. She's perfect for you! You two have been through so much together, she's faced trials and tribulations for you!

You've been searching for her for years, risking life and limb, your love for each other is more profound than mountains, deeper than the seas, more genuine than diamonds. I'm truly touched! I sincerely wish you both stick together, till death do you part, inseparable as ever!"

She said too much in one breath, struggling to catch her breath in the echoing hall.

Remington's handsome face turned gloomy, his jaw clenched.

Lizetta turned to leave, but the man stepped in front of her suddenly.
