When Dominic showed up at the courthouse and dragged me away from her, I did not fight. I let him think he had won, and the moment he was gone, I picked up her trail.
I spent the rest of that day following her.
I did not do it alone. I hired extra men, planted them at different angles, so that if I lost her, they would not.
I followed her to a shop, and I knew immediately what she was doing there. She was checking the authenticity of the recording I had sent her. I waited, watching from a distance, and when she came out, I saw the look on her face. I saw the way she leaned against her car, the way her shoulders sagged, and I felt a joy so sharp and sweet it almost hurt.
She doubted him now. She doubted Dominic.
I followed her to Helix after that, waited outside for hours, and when she finally came out and began to stroll, I kept my distance, careful to stay behind her bodyguards, careful to stay invisible. I watched her walk, watched the sad, dejected slump of her shoulders, watched the way she stared at nothing, and the joy inside me grew until I could barely contain it.
She was falling out of love with him. She was coming back to me. I could feel it.
And then everything shattered.
No. No. No. No.
I could not breathe. My chest was a cage of broken ribs, my heart hammering so hard I thought it would tear through my skin. I sat in my car, gripping the steering wheel until my knuckles went white, and watched his car drive away into the dusk.
And when they were gone, when the taillights had vanished into the dark, I spoke the words into the silence, quiet and certain as a vow.
"Celeste, in this life, if I cannot have you, no one else can."

The readers' comments on the novel: Two Can Play (Celeste and Dominic)
Agent Frost better teach Tasha how to protect herself if anything gets out of hand or if she’s ever in danger or forced again...
I need some good news for Tasha. Special Agent hear her out and don’t let her get back into that life. Do I hear a romance or someone Tasha can truly count on besides Scarlett??...
I hope Tasha is let off and helped by this detective and gets away from all this maybe a twist for this novel is she gets on the good side of things and gets away from that life completely even if she has to separate herself from Scarlett but it appears Tasha gets hurt by Scarlett’s and sparrow’s stupidity as she’s blamed for Scarlett’s decisions...
Her life is ruined and Scarlett’s been living a luxurious life through it all...
I officially hate everyone for hurting Tasha and allowing things to happen to her. This whole Sparrow and Scarlett situation is some BS....
It’s a bit stupid that as powerful and ruthless sparrow is he and Scarlett sure do a lousy job of protecting and having guard on Tasha. Like how did all of this happen to her if he was supposed to be protecting her based on the contract??...
More Chapters Please...
I thought it said 10 chapters a day??? It’s been like 2-3 days and no update after chapter 574. The release time is so inconsistent, I have started to just loose interest....
Just find Tasha and get her some help. How did she have sparrow’s men watching her if she really cared so much. Scarlett’s character is so suspect…...
Storyline is interesting it’s just so much sexual content I have to skip through just find out the main context of the story....
