She answered on the second ring. "Hello?"
"Bridgett."
She paused. "Miss. Seraphine? Is that you?"
"Get your ass to Ford Biosciences right now." My voice shivered with anger. "If you're not here in five minutes, I'll throw your ass in jail and toss the key into the ocean."
"I'll be there quickly."
I ended the call and sat down, and the sadness hit me like a wave, drowning me. My threats had been empty. In reality, I had neither the money nor the ability to make a police case right now. My laboratory was worth millions, with high-quality machines and equipment. But now, I couldn't recognize it anymore.
I was someone on the run, someone who had to stay hidden. How could I open a police case without exposing myself to Emerson's men?
Why? Why was life so hard on me? Why were my things always different? I had to struggle twice as hard as anyone else, and yet things still never went my way. From childhood, I had always fought for the things I wanted and needed, but it wasn't the same for others. Celeste always got things effortlessly. She never fought for anything; things somehow always ended up on her lap.
Why wasn't it so for me? Why was I always unfortunate? Things would look like they were working out for me in the beginning, yet no matter how much effort I put in, everything and everyone would turn against me in the end. It was exhausting. I felt really exhausted.

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....
