Two Can Play (Celeste and Dominic) novel Chapter 257

Chapter 257

“You are special, Seraphine,” he said. “You are a delight.”

I managed a small smile.

“Congratulations,” he continued. “You aced your audition.”

I stared at him, the word catching me off guard. “Audition?”

He chuckled, waving a dismissive hand. “Sorry. My bad. I meant, you passed my test.”

I said nothing. I just watched him, waiting.

“We gave you a gift,” he said. “For a good performance. Check your phone.”

I quickly found my phone, and opened my banking app. My hands were shaking. Another ten billion dollars was sitting in my account, bringing the total to twenty billion in a single day.

Twenty billion. In a single day.

My phone suddenly began to ring, the screen lighting up with a contact name I did not want to see. Felix. I stared at the name for a moment, and then I ended the call and blocked his number without a second thought. I did not need him anymore. I did not need anyone. I had twenty billion dollars and two men who were clearly willing to give me more.

Emerson stepped closer, a sheaf of papers in his hand. “I have drawn up a contract. I want you to fill it with your own hands. The number of years you are willing to stay under my wing and do what you know how to do best.”

I took the contract from him, glanced at the standard legalese, and then looked up at him with a smile. All the pain I had endured was nothing compared to the rewards. Nothing. I would bear it a hundred times over if the price was right.

I thought about it. Calculated how much I could possibly make, how high I could climb, how much power I could accumulate. Five years. In five years, with men like this backing me, I could become one of the top billionaires in the city. I could surpass Dominic if I invested wisely. I could build an empire.

I wrote five years on the dotted line and signed my name with a flourish.

I nodded, turned, and walked toward the hallway where I knew the bedrooms would be. My body screamed with every step, my pussy throbbing, my ass burning, but I kept my head high and my stride steady.

And as I walked, I thought about Celeste. I thought about the look on her face when Dominic had wrapped his arms around her, the way she had moaned for him on that balcony, the way she had taken everything from me without a single shred of guilt.

I smiled in the darkness of the hallway as I thought.

Celeste, wait a little longer for me. Once amass a little more wealth and return from this tour, I will destroy you. I will wipe you off the surface of this earth. And I will enjoy every single moment of it.
