I just hadn't realized. I hadn't realized what I was carrying until I dropped it.
I didn't know when I did it, but I found I had slid down until I was squatting on the bare floor and dropped the tray into my lap, my face buried in my hands, and I was crying so hard I couldn't stop, I couldn't even breathe, just the heavy shaking, the tears and the taste of the mascara on my tongue and my ruined heart.
I had handed Dominic to Celeste. I had let the best man in the world slip through my fingers, that was all there was to say about it. I foolishly let him go.
My life began falling apart only after Dominic left me. If only I could get off this island, I would give everything I had to get him back. I would fight for him to the last drop of my blood, more than my pride, more than my body, nothing else. I would take him back and I would love him the way I should have, I would make him see. And no one anywhere, not Celeste, not anyone, would get in my way and get away with it while I was breathing.
But how would that ever happen? How would I fight for anything from inside this godforsaken island prison? Five years of naked, high heels, and strangers?
I was still crying, folded small and breaking into the room full of light and pool tables, when I felt a hand on my shoulder.
I thought it was Lola. On instinct, I wanted to wipe my eyes. I swallowed hard, pushed the mascara back, got to my feet, and turned, faking the smile I had tried to rehearse when I had to serve next, ready to lie.
But the woman standing there wasn't Lola.
Then she turned and walked away, calm as the rest of the island, and left me standing naked in the gold light, tray gone, smile gone, face streaked.
My eyes went wide. I stared at the space she had filled.
Was it possible? Could she really get me off this island? Could I leave, could I be free of the men and the heels, and get the opportunity, the one wild chance, to get my husband back?

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....
