Remington returned to Oakridge Heights as the night had completely settled in.

It had been two days and two nights since Lizetta left. Exhausted, the man stepped out of his car, only to be surprised by the lights on in the mansion. Remington trembled, his fists clenching suddenly.

In a moment, his dim eyes seemed to fall into the Starlight Group. He quickened his pace, gradually turning into a run as he pushed open the entrance door. The living room was brightly lit, yet empty.

Just as Remington was about to dash upstairs, he heard sounds coming from the kitchen.

He paused, quickly heading towards the kitchen.

Standing at the kitchen entrance, he saw a slender figure at the counter, the kitchen dimly lit, casting a soft halo around the woman.

Her hair fell in soft waves, shimmering gently in the light.

For a moment, Remington felt a moment of dizziness and disbelief, his eyes burning, his voice hoarse to the extreme.

"Honey."

His voice startled the busy figure, who turned around with a beaming smile.

But to Remington, it felt like his vision shattered, blown away by the wind.

Clarity returned to his eyes. A whirlpool of disappointment and frustration swallowed him.

It wasn't Lizetta.

It was Stella.
