Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption

Lizetta leaned into Remington's embrace, her body feeling as though every ounce of strength had been drained from it.

Seeing him at that moment, she couldn't deny the sense of security that washed over her.

The panic and tension faded away, revealing the discomfort she had been trying to hide.

Her stomach ached slightly, she was shivering from the cold, and her lips had turned a shade of blue. Clutching at his shirt, her teeth chattered as she spoke.

"Dora..."

Remington quickly bent down to pick Lizetta up, comforting her with a gentle gaze.

"Ray's got this, don't worry. She'll be fine."

He had rushed over with Ray the moment he heard the commotion. By the time he got there, Dora was already tangling with those guys.

He hadn't found Lizetta in the villa, but upon seeing tracks behind the building, he had hurriedly followed them.

But with Ray's skills, he was confident there wouldn't be any trouble.

Hearing his deep, reassuring voice made Lizetta's eyes well up with tears, her voice catching in her throat.

But his words truly eased her worries, allowing her body to relax completely as she nestled into Remington's arms.
