Madam Lily appeared at the entrance, her apron gone, replaced by a fine dress I had never seen her wear, her face bright with a joy that made her look decades younger. She hurried over and dipped her head to Sparrow's grandmother.
"Everything is ready, ma'am. The officiant is in place. The guests are seated. We are only waiting on the bride and groom."
The old woman nodded. "And who is walking her down the aisle?"
Madam Lily's smile softened. "The bride's father is not present, ma'am. So I arranged for the groom to walk her in himself."
The old woman considered this, then nodded slowly. "Good. That is good. He should not leave her standing alone."
"Exactly my thinking, ma'am."
Then the doors opened, and the music swelled, and the cameras began to fire again.
The hall was enormous. I had seen grand things in my life, had broken into houses that could fit a village, had slept in hotel suites that cost a fortune a night, but this was something else. Crystal chandeliers hung from a painted ceiling, throwing light across every surface. Flowers cascaded down both sides of the aisle in white and green, so many of them that the air smelled like a garden. The guests sat in rows and rows, men in tailored suits, women in dresses that cost more than most people made in a year, every single one of them holding a phone or a camera pointed at the aisle.
The ceremony unfolded. I barely heard most of it, my attention split three ways, between Tasha's face, searching it for any sign that she was overwhelmed, and Sparrow's profile, and the old woman in the front row who kept glancing back at me like she expected me to pull out a knife. When the officiant asked for the rings, I stepped forward and handed them over, and Tasha smiled at me, a real smile, and I wanted to cry.
"Do you, Sparrow, take this woman, Tasha, to be your lawfully wedded wife?"
"I do."
"Do you, Tasha, take this man, Sparrow, to be your lawfully wedded husband?"

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....
