Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption ( Lizetta ) novel Chapter 1

Chapter

They said a man was most likely to cater to a woman’s wishes in bed and right afterward

After a heated romp, still basking in the afterglow, Lizetta lay spent on the man’s chest, her eyes misty as she looked up at him and held out her hand

Where’s my anniversary gift?” 

Unlike her disheveled state, the man was still dressed to the nines, with only his tie a bit loosened, revealing a sharp, sexy Adam’s apple

His deepset eyes were sculpted, with a natural cool, abstinent vibe in them. But it was this dapper dude who, just moments ago, had gripped her waist, not letting her pull away, driving passionately, pulling her into the whirlpool of desire

Lizetta’s heart was still racing, sweet anticipation brewing within

The man glanced down at her, What anniversary?” 

Lizetta froze. He had been away on a business trip for over a month, and she thought his return today was to celebrate her birthday and their wedding anniversary with her

She had heard that he went through quite a hassle abroad to buy a naming right to a small asteroid, and his mom had even given him the Dashiell family heirloom jade bracelet

Either would have made her ecstatic

You know exactly what I’m talking about!Lizetta huffed, reaching up to kiss his lips

But she missed. Remington dodged. Her kiss landed on thin air; she didn’t even graze his face

Lizetta stiffened. They had done everything, but he had never kissed her. She thought today would be different, but it turned out

A woman’s sweet softness, a brief careless fling was simply not enough. Remington’s body reacted swiftly, taking her hand and placing it on his belt buckle, his voice teasing

Not satisfied just now? Want a gift? Let’s see how you perform.” 

Lizetta fought down the creeping feeling of disappointment, her cheeks flushing again. Though they had been married for two years, intimate encounters were scarce. She was a bit shy, pulling her hand away

You do it yourself,” yet, leaning in, she handed him a condom

Ostrich act, Remington snorted. His gaze fell on the condom, his eyes suddenly icy cold, his hand pinching her chin

Lizetta! Who taught you these nasty tricks?” 

His handsome face lost the lustful heat, his voice now only cold and displeased, the earlier flirtatious warmth vanished like a dream

Lizetta was dazed, only realizing what he meant when she saw that all the condoms were tampered with. She understood that Remington thought she had sabotaged them, just like the scheme she pulled on him four 

years ago

From head to toe, Lizetta felt a cold chill, It wasn’t mel” 

She went to the drawer to find the remaining condoms to prove her innocence, but they too had been carefully opened

Remington was already getting dressed, looking down at her from his lofty position

Not you? Who else would come in here?”

Remington was a clean freak with a strong sense of territory, he didn’t like servants in tas bedroom 

Lizetta, fearing his displeasure, took it upon herself to clean the room, something fermington was melt aware of. Yet, her efforts now served as evidence against her 

With a sour feeling in her heart, Lizetta remembered her mother in law had visited a few days ago and had entered the bedroom

It was your mom.” 

My mom? You think that’s likely?Remington’s voice was chillingly cold

Hanna would be overjoyed if Lizetta couldn’t have children, paving the way for a divorce. Lizetta’s lips moved, but she found herself speechless

He didn’t believe her, and nothing she said would make a difference. Hadrit she explained enough in the past

You’re incorrigible!”
