Two Can Play (Celeste and Dominic) novel Chapter 171

Chapter 171

There were only a few people left when I arrived at Helix. Staff members, a handful of researchers, a security guard who looked at me like I was crazy.

But Celeste looked at me like I was a stranger. Like I was some beggar who had wandered infʊ her path by mistake

Then, she turned and walked away.

I stayed there on my knees, surrounded by hundreds of flowers, and I had never been more humiliated in my entire life.

People were staring at me. Whispers. Pointing. Laughing. I could hear them, feel their eyes ort me like insects crawling across my skin.

I got up. I brushed the dirt off my knees, left the flowers there, and I walked back to my car.

Celeste had really changed. The woman I loved, the woman I married, would never have shamed me like that. She would have at least listened. She would have at least given me a chance to explain.

But this new Celeste, this Celeste who had tasted five billion dollars and another man’s cock, she had no use for me anymore

I sat in my car, my head in my hands, and I thought about what to do. I thought long and hard. I went through every option, every possibility, every desperate plan that my exhausted mind could conjure up.

And then an idea came to me.

An idea that seemed really possible.

I started my car and drove to the house where I had kept the four girls, the members of the Phantom Circle who had tried to ruin

The drive was long and winding, through streets that grew darker and quieter the further I went from the city center. By the time I pulled up to the gate of my secluded property, the sky was completely black, the only light coming from the floodlights mounted on the walls.

The security guards recognized my car and opened the gate immediately, standing at attention as I drove through.

I parked and walked inside, my footsteps echoing through the quiet hallways. The guards nodded at me as I passed, their hands resting on the weapons at their hips, ready for anything.

My lip curled upward.

“Interesting,” I said.
