"How many millions is the value now?"
Bridgett winced. "I'm afraid it's not even anywhere close to a hundred thousand. I pretended to list it out two days ago, and the few people that offered to buy it barely offered more than twenty thousand. Only one person offered two hundred thousand. Of course, I couldn't give a response to anyone. I was merely testing the waters to keep your options open until you returned."
I laughed, and it came out hollow. Almost laughable. I had spent millions on Ford Biosciences. It hadn't even lasted a year, and the highest value was two hundred grand?
But I was pressed for cash.
"Set up an appointment with that buyer." I straightened. "If we can sign immediately, even better. I want to put this chapter behind me completely."
Bridgett nodded and started making calls while I waited. When she finished, she looked up at me.
"The meeting will be in thirty minutes," she said. "The buyer won't be free after that time. She picked a simple coffee shop and said she'd be waiting at table two."
"She?"
"Yes. Her."
I nodded. Two hundred grand was better than nothing.
Thirty minutes later, I walked into the coffee shop after getting off a cab, the sample contract Bridgett had prepared tucked under my arm. I had added the amount myself, signed where I needed to, and now all that was left was a signature on the dotted line and this whole miserable chapter would be behind me.
I approached table two. The person sitting there was a woman, her face lowered, staring at her phone. But there was something about her that seemed familiar. The way she sat, the curve of her shoulder, the way her hair fell.
I slid into the seat across from her and said, "Hey."
She lifted her face.
And my heart dropped straight into my stomach.
It was Celeste.

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....
