"Really?" My heart pounded so hard I could hear it in my ears.
He nodded. "Yes. But you need to know, once I've gotten rid of Big Bryan, this whole marriage arrangement you and I have won't stand anymore. Once Big Bryan is dead, I'll annul the contract, that way, there'll be no ties between the both of us.
Scarlett will be at ease because you'll be able to live whatever life you want. Whatever amount you need, wherever you want to travel to, whatever you want to do with your life, I can support you because I know that is what will make Scarlett happy.
But afterward, I'll get the chance to be with Scarlett, and she will also have the chance to live her life fully without having to worry that Big Bryan will appear from somewhere to harm you."
My eyes began to water. "Really? This is such good news!"
He blinked, taken aback. "You're that happy? You really hated this marriage arrangement?"
"No, I meant Big Bryan." The words rushed out of me. "I really used to feel very scared each time I thought about him. Knowing that you'll get rid of him in two weeks makes me really happy."
Inwardly, a weight I'd been carrying since last night began to lift. I didn't have to say anything to Sparrow. I didn't have to talk about the video. I just needed to wait. In two weeks, with Sparrow's resources, he would find Big Bryan himself and kill him.
And once Big Bryan was dead, I would be free. I would be able to tell Scarlett everything. Hopefully by then, Scarlett would be out of the hospital and feeling much better, and she wouldn't feel so heartbroken if she found out, because Big Bryan would already be dead.
Suddenly, I felt so much better. I looked up at him and smiled. "Thank you. Thank you so much."
He seemed genuinely surprised by my reaction. "To be honest, for a while there I was worried. Since you're so happy about this, I feel at ease. I'm not going to tell Scarlett that I've already had this conversation with you, just in case she wants to bring it up later."

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....
