Two Can Play (Celeste and Dominic) novel Chapter 428

"The Castro family. I do not want them to exist again after tomorrow. Every one of their accomplices, everyone who helped them destroy Celeste's family in the past, no one should be spared."

I pressed my back against the wall.

"People like that must have committed other crimes. Find whatever you can and send them to prison. Nothing should be left of their families. And as for Castro and his son, I want them to suffer miserably, until they are begging for death in prison."

There was a pause. Then, "I am willing to pay any amount to facilitate this, Sparrow."

Another pause, shorter. "In that case, I will be waiting for the good news."

The call ended. I stood in the dimly lit hallway with my back to the wall, listening to the silence, and I did not know whether to laugh or cry. In a few minutes. In a handful of minutes he had found out everything, the whole poisoned history of my family, and he had taken my revenge as his own without me ever saying a word. I had spent years learning to let it go. He had spent minutes deciding to burn it down.

Men like this existed. Men who would burn the world for the woman they loved. And I had found the best one. I had found him by accident, in the wreckage of my marriage, and he was real, and he was mine, and I still could not quite believe it.
