Two Can Play (Celeste and Dominic) novel Chapter 675
Sparrow was back by then, and he was not in favour.
"She should go home and sleep properly," he said, already reaching for his phone. "She has her important fitness training tomorrow."
I only I knew he was being sarcastic.
"I want her to stay," Scarlett said, in the tone of a woman signing legislation. I was surprised.
Sparrow looked from one of us to the other, jaw working, and visibly chose surrender. "Fine."
He stayed a while longer, talking to her in that low, careful voice he saved exclusively for her, and then he left, pausing at the door to look at me once, briefly, before he went.
I stayed.
The room settled into night sounds, machines humming softly, Scarlett's breathing going slow and even, the corridor lights striping under the door. I lay on the sofa bed in the dark and let my eyes close.

In the early hours, my phone rang.
I surfaced out of sleep with my heart already going, squinted at the screen. Daniel.
Scarlett was still asleep across the room. Sparrow wasn't there. I slid off the sofa and padded to the far side of the room before answering, my voice a whisper.
"Good morning."
"Something's wrong." No good morning back, no preamble, and his voice was tight in a way I'd never heard it. "I've been trying to book your session since yesterday. The system keeps showing you as unavailable."
"What?" I pressed the phone harder against my ear and glanced at Scarlett's sleeping shape. "Unavailable? What do you mean, unavailable? How? What does that even mean?"
"I don't know." A breath came down the line. "I have no idea what Big Bryan is up to, but it looks like he's onto you. Are you sure he didn't notice the chip you tried to insert into his phone yesterday?"

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....
