Shattered Illusions: Love Lies and Redemption ( Lizetta ) Chapter 119

Chapter 119 

“Are you Okay?” 

Hamilton popped up out of nowhere, steadying Lizetta just before she fell to her knees. 

Lizetta caught her balance and looked around. Through the crowd, she caught a glimpse of Remington’s towering figure, shielding someone in his arms. 

She couldn’t get a clear view, but Lizetta knew it was Evelina. 

“Back off! Someone fell down here!” 

Someone yelled from behind, but the crowd kept pushing. 

It seemed the drone show had started, not far in front of the haunted house, and everyone was eager to watch, causing the congestion. 

Lizetta turned her attention back to Hamilton, who was anxiously asking, “Where’s Nancy and Joseph?” 

Hamilton gave her a reassuring smile. “Don’t worry; they’re safe. Let’s head out.” 

“Okay.” Lizetta nodded. 

They walked further out before they were no longer brushing past one another. The drones took off with a whir, screams erupting all around. 

Against the black curtain of the night, the drones formed the word “love,” and Lizetta looked up to see it morph into two initials. 

“E W.” Hamilton read aloud, “What’s that about?” 

He looked down only to see Lizetta’s face pale as a ghost. 

Staring up at the stars, her eyes were like falling meteors, shattering into light, and fading into ashes. 

“Love E W“. 

Hamilton didn’t get it, but how could Lizetta not? 

Remington had come to the amusement park with Evelina tonight, all for a romantic confession 

Hamilton felt a sting in his heart and stepped forward to block her view. He gently pressed on her shoulder, steering her body in another direction. 

“Look over there!” 

Lizetta blinked and saw nothing but pitch–black darkness. She looked up at Hamilton. 

“So, what’s over there?” 

Hamilton looked embarrassed, touching his nose, “Just darkness, really. Use your imagination, and it can be anything.” 

Lizetta blinked again. 

Man, that’s cold. 

Hamilton probably felt the awkwardness too, as they just stood there staring at each other. Then, as if on cue, they both burst out laughing. 

“Uncle! Did you forget about us?” 

Nancy’s shout came from a distance, and Lizetta turned to see Nancy and Joseph perched on a big tree. 

Nancy was waving her small hand, lips all pouted.. 

Hamilton explained, “There were too many people coming out, so I put them in the tree and went back to look for you.” 

The kids were clearly getting antsy. 

Lizetta and Hamilton went over to bring them down. 

“Do you want to play something else?” Lizetta asked. 

Joseph, not really in the mood anymore, yawned, “Liz, I’m pooped. Let’s head home.” 

He had seen the drone show’s opening confession too, and felt bad for Liz. 

He wanted to lift her spirits, but with that jerk here, she probably wasn’t up for fun. 

“Let’s go then.” Lizetta agreed. 

Hamilton chimed in, “Kids should sleep early. Let’s all go. I’ll drop you 

off.” 

Lizetta didn’t want to bother Hamilton, but he was so insistent; with Nancy clinging to her waist, she reluctantly got into the passenger seat. 

The kids in the backseat soon fell asleep after the car started moving. 

The car was silent, and Hamilton turned to Lizetta. “Do you mind if I put on some music?” 

Lizetta smiled faintly, “Of course not.” 

Hamilton played the music, and a familiar melody caught Lizetta off guard. 

It was one of her original songs. Lizetta thought it was a coincidence, but the next few songs were all hers 

too. 

She concealed her surprise, “You like Maestro Adagio?” 

Hamilton looked at her, not hiding his admiration. “Yes, I’ve been a fan for a quite some time. I’m a die–hard.” He was so earnest it made Lizetta’s face blush. 

Even though he didn’t know she was Maestro Adagio, being praised by a fan to her face was a first for 

Lizetta. 

She coughed and turned to say something, but then Hamilton stopped at a red light. 

He turned to her, his eyes burning with sincerity, and said, “I used to be a fan of Maestro Adagio, but now I’m a fan of her as a boyfriend.” 

“You don’t even know if she’s a man or a woman, how could you?” Lizetta’s words trailed off as she caught on to the warm, amused gaze of Hamilton.
