Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption

"Alright, then I want you to marry Stella right away!"

Stella's heart raced erratically.

Although Martin had warned her that the current pain of the West family was all thanks to Remington, she shouldn't fall for him. But when Remington appeared in that hellish little town, saving her from a dire situation, her heart was lost. She truly wanted to marry him!

Stella couldn't stand the anxious urging.

Remington tightened his arms, his brow colder as he interrupted Stella, his lips barely moving. "I can't do that."

Stella's face flushed with hurt. She couldn't believe that Remington would refuse. He had already divorced Lizetta, and under these circumstances, he still wouldn't agree to marry her. Was she that undesirable to him?
