Two Can Play (Celeste and Dominic) novel Chapter 613

My jaw tightened.

"Send money as soon as possible." The line went dead.

I stared at the phone, irritation crawling up my spine. Mum used to be a teacher, but she resigned years ago and placed the burden of providing squarely on my shoulders. I'd sent millions back home over the past few months, and she'd spent it all living lavishly, telling anyone who would listen that her daughter was a scientist married to a billionaire, making every other mother in the neighborhood green with envy.

But I couldn't fault her. There was nothing wrong with living a good life. Besides, I was indeed a scientist. And I had once been married...

My eyes widened.

Wait a minute. I was a scientist. Even if I barely paid attention to anything connected to the field, I was the owner of Ford Biosciences. How could I have forgotten that? A lot of money must have been made in my absence, and if it wasn't enough, I could sell Ford Biosciences. Once I reunited with Dominic, he could build me a better lab. One even better than Helix Laboratory.

The thought excited me so much that I momentarily forgot everything else that had been upsetting me.

I freshened up quickly, washing the night off my skin, then dressed carefully in something elegant, an outfit that made me look like a woman who owned things. I left the motel and had breakfast at an unremarkable little restaurant where nobody looked at me twice, then took a cab straight to Ford Biosciences. I hated moving around without my car like this, but I didn't want it tracked easily. It would also be a last resort to sell it. But now, with my laboratory, I wouldn't have to.

The cab pulled up in front of the building, and I paid the driver, stepping out with my head high.
