Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption ( Lizetta ) novel Chapter 29

Chapter 29 

Cedric stood cautiously by the car, piping up gingerly

Boss, the missus might not have caught your drift. Want me to go fetch her?” 

No need, just drive!The man’s deep voice was the epitome of indifference

Not daring to chitchat, Cedric hopped in the car and took off

As the car slowly passed the slender figure on the roadside, the man’s cold sneer followed

What, no grub and the car won’t go?” 

Sweat beaded on Cedric’s forehead, and just as he floored it, a big box came flying in from behind

Dump it.” 

Cedric slowed down in a hurry and turned to see a cake box wedged between the seats; his face was a picture of hesitation

Remington leaned back in his seat, with his eyes slightly lifting, and gave Cedric the 

onceover

She doesn’t give a hoot about it; the alley cats and dogs aren’t so fussy.” 

Cedric, with a heavy heart, stepped out and ditched the cake box on the curb

Just then, Lizetta walked up, and Cedric quickly whispered under his breath

Madam, it was the bossorders.” 

The boss was hellbent on a collision course, and there was no stopping him

Lizetta’s gaze fell; there went a cake worth thousands

She felt that she was probably much like that cake in Remington’s eyes all glitz on the surface, but easily discarded, not worth a second thought

She bent down and picked up the cake

Inside the car, Remington silently watched this unfold, and the corners of his lips curled into the slightest of smiles

That smile grew a tad as he watched Lizetta come towards him with the cake in hand

He reached for the door handle, ready to open it for her, but Lizetta walked straight to the front of the car instead

Remington’s brow furrowed slightly, only to see her stand in front of the car, locking eyes with him through the windshield

She arched a brow, gave a little smile, and flipped the box, splattering the cake on the Windshield

The cake smeared across the glass, and it slowly slid down, obscuring Remington’s view

Lizetta, with a knee on the hood, leaned in and started drawing on the creamy windshield

From the back seat came an icy stare, and Lizetta couldn’t help but snicker

Where did this jerk get the confidence to think she’d just hop into his car at the snap of his fingers

The roar of an engine drew near as a biker kid in a black leather jacket pulled up beside the car, then he rested a leg on the bike and turned to look

Damn, using a milliondollar windshield as a canvas.” 

Lizetta flipped her hair; her blonde locks and red lips as well as heing eyes 

made her distractingly gorgeous, and the kid’s whistle died before it even started

Crap, the car’s not worthy of that face

Just as the thought crossed his mind, the beauty hopped off the hood and strode over to his bike’s pillion seat

Let’s roll.” Lizetta patted the kid’s shoulder

The kid suddenly felt like the chosen one, triumphing over a multimilliondollar car with underdog pride

He gave the middle finger to the man who got out of the car, all cool and provoking

Wildflower on the run, highway escape’- I’m digging this plot.The kid shouted to Lizetta as he lowered the visor, Buckle up, miss!” 

Lizetta wrapped her arms around his waist, and with a thunderous rev, the bike shot off like a bolt of lightning

Remington stepped out of the car, only catching a glimpse of her skirt’s edge fluttering away

In less than half a minute, Cedric scrambled to the road, gaping at a windshield smeared with a few strokes of cream yet unmistakably depicting a turtle

Why the hell is there three green strokes on the turtle’s head? What’s with the greenhaired turtle
