Two Can Play (Celeste and Dominic) novel Chapter 653
Mom went silent. Then she unbuckled her seatbelt without a word, climbed out, and stood in the driveway staring up at it.
"Whose house is this?" she whispered.
"Yours."
She turned to me slowly. "Mine?"
"Yours, Mom. I bought it today. The paperwork is done, and this time it's in my name."
"Celeste." Her hand went to her chest. "This house is enormous. What did you..."
"It's a gift. Come inside. The movers already brought everything over. Your things, your furniture, your lace curtains, all of it. Come and see."
She walked through the front door like a woman entering a museum. She touched the walls and drifted from room to room, her mouth hanging open, while I followed her, explaining everything as we went. The old house, sold. Felix. The buyer. Julian's name on the deed. All of it.
By the time I finished, she'd sunk onto the edge of her own bed, in her own new room, in her own new house, and she was staring at nothing.
"My own son sold my house." Her voice came out cracked. "Behind my back. And because of him, that monster got into my home. Because of him, you were almost..." Her face crumpled, and the tears came fast. "My baby. You could have been violated in my own house, all because of Felix. In my own house, Celeste. Because Felix wanted money."
"Mom, I'm fine. Nothing happened. Dominic got there in time."
"But it could have!" She grabbed my hands and gripped them hard. "Don't tell me to calm down. My daughter was carried unconscious out of my home, and my son did the paperwork that made it possible. Give me my phone."
"Mom..."
"Give me my phone, Celeste."
I handed it over. She dialed, jaw set, and put it on speaker, and I heard Felix pick up on the second ring.
"Mom? Mom, thank God. Celeste told me what happened. Are you alright? I never meant for any of..."

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....
