TASHA
I kept walking, my heart beating so fast I could feel it in my throat. I stared at my phone the whole way, at Scarlett's messages, at the long list of missed calls. I had rejected her calls many times last night. Except I hadn't. I had been lying in that room, out cold, while someone else used my phone to push her away. Which meant it had been Big Bryan, sitting there with my phone, sending her away while I lay broken on his bed.
The memories flooded back as I walked. All the times Scarlett told me I was the most important person in her life, that everything she did, she did for me.
"Why didn't I listen?" I cried into the empty street. "Why didn't I trust Scarlett? I did this to myself. I trusted Lucia."
Lucia. I gritted my teeth so hard my jaw ached. My car was still with her. I pulled out my phone and called her number. She picked up on the second ring.
"Where is my car?" I asked.
"Oh my God! Tasha! Where are you?" she replied.
I looked around, found a landmark, and told her to bring my car to me. Then I hung up before she could say another word.
I stood there waiting, and Big Bryan's words came back to me, making the hairs on my arms stand on end. What kind of life was I going to live? I was supposed to be Sparrow's wife. And now I would become Big Bryan's whore, coming whenever he called, spreading my legs for strangers while he held my shame over my head. No. I couldn't live that kind of life. It was too filthy, just thinking about it.
My eyes landed on a tall building across the street. Without thinking, I walked toward it, pushed through the gate, and took the stairs outside, one at a time, my lungs burning, my legs shaking. I climbed until I reached the top and stepped out onto the roof, into the open air.

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....
