Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption ( Lizetta ) novel Chapter 112

Chapter 112 

The production crew was abuzz with gossip. She knew that everyone was poking fun at her, saying that she was getting totally outshone by her dance doublefrom her temperament and looks to her physique

She was already seething with anger, and the director’s words just added fuel to the fire

Boiling with rage, she set out to confront Lizetta but was stopped by her agent

What the heck are you doing?!” 

Miranda! That little dance double is getting ahead of herself!” 

*The director is a pragmatist and hates it when actors cause trouble on set. If you want to keep filming, you’d better play nice!” 

Reprimanded by her agent, Lulu nodded with red eyes, holding in her anger

Miranda tried to soothe her, She dances well, but when the movie hits the big screen, you’re the one who’ll benefit. Don’t be so shortsighted!” 

With that, Miranda walked away

She chased after Lizetta, who was leaving the studio, and stopped her

I’m Miranda, the agent for the second female lead. You’ve worked hard today, and you did great. Here, take this token of appreciation.” 

Lizetta had heard from Yolanda that it was common for standins who did a good job to receive money from actors and directors. Since the director’s assistant had already given her one, she didn’t hesitate to thank Miranda and accept another from her

As she turned to leave, Miranda spoke up again

Would you consider signing an agency contract with me to become a formal actress

You’ve got the looks and the talent. I guarantee that within three years 

two I can make you a top star. Shall we discuss a contract?” 

— 

no, make that 

Lizetta smiled lightly, Thanks for the offer, but my ambitions lie elsewhere. Goodbye.” 

Her refusal was quick and decisive, and she walked away without hesitation

Miranda was surprised by her firm rejection. Becoming a top star is a huge temptation- don’t dance standins dream of stepping into the spotlight

But she could see that Lizetta’s refusal was genuine, not just playing hard to get

It was clear that Lizetta knew what she wanted; with both personality and conviction. A flash of admiration and regret crossed Miranda’s eyes

She caught up to give Lizetta her business card before she got into her car

13:12 

Call me if you change your mind.” 

Lulu watched from a distance, stamping her foot in frustration. She went back to the set and grabbed her phone from her assistant, opening WhatsApp

Lizetta left the set and returned to Oakridge Heights

She remembered there were two jars of plum wine left at Oakridge Heights perfect for taking to Lucian

Remington was hardly ever home, and now, at just past four in the afternoon, it was event less likely he would be there

Lizetta entered the villa to find it eerily quiet. She headed straight for the liquor cabinet but instead of finding her wine, she found only Remington’s collection

Figuring that Hanna, who always picky about everything, might have decided the two jars of wine weren’t presentable, and had Edith stow them away in the storeroom. So, Lizetta went to the storeroom, searched through the boxes and cabinets, and indeed found the wine hidden in the furthest corner

But as she climbed out with the jars, her dress caught on something, and it ripped with

tear

She was wearing a tight, straightcut long dress, and the tear was significant enough to reveal her thigh with any slight movement

With no other choice, she went upstairs to her bedroom, entered th

changing room, and 

As she bent over to take off her dress, halfway through, a man’s deep voice suddenly sounded from behind

What are you doing?” 

Startled, Lizetta panicked, tripping over her halfpulleddown dress and lurching forward

Ah!she screamed; eyes shut tight

The expected fall didn’t happen; instead, the man caught her, becoming her human cushion
