Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 1331

The phone lay on the carpet, the screen glowing with an incoming video call from Teddy.

Teddy was the second male lead in Yolanda's current production, a guy from a wealthy background who had debuted just last year in a massive blockbuster project.

With A-list veterans supporting him, he had proven his own worth when the film became a surprise hit, launching him straight into Hollywood's rising star list.

This year, he had secured a major supporting role on the silver screen; his full name was Teddy Winters, though everyone on set just called him Teddy.

He usually kept to himself with a cool demeanor, and Yolanda hadn't been close to him at first.

They only grew familiar last month when Teddy was cornered by a dozen crazed stalkers and nearly got hurt.

Yolanda had been passing by and couldn't stand watching it unfold, so she threw on a mask and hat, pretending to be his bodyguard, and aggressively yanked away the two fans who were clutching him, intimidating the rest of the mob and escorting Teddy safely into his car.

Ever since that incident, Teddy constantly sought her out on set to run lines, play video games, or discuss stunt choreography.

They were both young, and with Yolanda's easygoing personality, they quickly became good friends.

Teddy and Zoey Evert used to be classmates, and Yolanda had actually seen those scandalous photos of Zoey and Cassius Sterling on Teddy's phone.

That was exactly why Yolanda had just asked Teddy for Zoey's contact information.

Seeing his unexpected video call now, Yolanda hesitated for a moment, unsure of what he wanted.

Her reaction was a beat too slow; just as she reached down for the phone, a large, tanned hand with pronounced knuckles swooped in, picking it up and casually swiping to answer.

Before Yolanda could fully process the audacity of him answering her phone, Cassius made his move.

Cassius held the phone up, slipping his arm around her shoulder and pulling her close so they appeared intimately framed together on the screen.

On the other end, Teddy's handsome face had just broken into a bright smile as he spoke.
