I want to see if "illusion fade" works.

And yet you didn't use "illusion fade" (which would be ungrammatical). Please remember to quote the exact words you are asking us about.

Perhaps:
Jerry had thought Nicole still loved him. His illusion was shattered when he saw her on a date with another man.
The original suggests that he still held onto that illusion, but he began to have doubts.
