Two Can Play (Celeste and Dominic) novel Chapter 630
What did Mum mean by that text?
I walked up the path, and as I approached the entrance, I spotted my bodyguards' car parking a short distance away, the two of them settling in for their usual watch. I waved at them, and they waved back, and I went inside.
The house was too quiet.
That was the first thing I noticed. My mother's house was never 'too quiet.' She always had music playing, or the television on, or she was talking on the phone to one of her friends, her voice carrying through the whole place like she was broadcasting. But now there was nothing. Just silence, thick and wrong.
"Mum?" I called out, my voice echoing off the walls.
No answer.
My heart began to pound as I walked through the living room, past the kitchen, down the hallway to her bedroom. I pushed the door open slowly.
Someone was lying on the bed.
I smiled with relief as I recognized the shape of her, the familiar curve of her under the covers. She must have been tired. Maybe she was napping and didn't hear her phone. I walked toward the bed, already reaching out to wake her gently.
Then I stopped.
There was a strange smell in the air. Sweet and chemical, something I couldn't place but that made my skin prickle. And I had the uncanny feeling, the kind you get when you know, absolutely know, that you're being watched.
"Mum?" I tried again, shaking her shoulder.
She didn't move.
"Mum." I shook her harder. "Mum, wake up."
Nothing. Her face was slack, her breathing so shallow I could barely see her chest rise and fall.
Alarm flooded through me. I fumbled for my phone in my bag, my fingers clumsy, pulling it out to call Dominic. But before I could dial, my hand shook violently and the phone slipped from my fingers, clattering to the floor.

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....
