Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption

"What are you doing!" Lizetta snapped out of her daze, instinctively stepping back in shock.

But Remington reached out, grabbing her slender wrist as if she were the only lifeline he had left.

His voice was hoarse and low, "Liz, I'm sorry."

"Get up! I don't need your apology like this, brother you..."

Lizetta's voice trembled slightly as she tugged at Remington with all her might.

Maybe deep down she had already forgiven him, or perhaps after reflecting on the ups and downs of their fifteen-year history, she realized she owed him more. She couldn't bear his apology.

Yet, her strength was no match for Remington.

Her back was covered in a light sweat from her efforts, akin to a beetle trying to shake a tree, with the man's figure remaining unmoved.

He looked up at her, his eyes filled with remorse.

"Liz, let me finish."

His large hand slid down from her slender wrist to hold her fingers.

As their fingers intertwined, Lizetta felt her heart tremble.

She stopped struggling and just looked at him intently.

"It was my utter foolishness, trapped by childhood memories, trusting the wrong people, that led to our current misery. I've been regretting it deeply.
