"I think Sparrow found out something. I'm not sure. Daniel, we might not have much time left to find the bombs."
"Understood. Thank you for telling me." Papers shuffled somewhere on his end. "Has Big Bryan contacted you at all?"
"No. Nothing. He hasn't called, he hasn't texted, and now he's blocked you from booking me. I'm worried. What if he's booked me with someone else? What if he's handing me off to strangers?"
"Then you tell me the moment it happens, and I'll handle it."
"How? Handle it how?"
"Tasha." His voice dropped into that calm register that somehow always landed. "If it comes to that, I'll protect you. Just breathe."
The day swallowed us after that. Shopping bags accumulated in the car until the boot lid barely shut, then the salon, where Scarlett had a team of stylists get both our hair done.
And through all of it, I checked my phone. In the fitting room, in the salon chair under the dryer, at the restaurant table between courses. Waiting for a call, a text, anything with the word Monster glowing on the screen.
Nothing. The whole day came and went and Big Bryan stayed silent as a grave.
That night I lay awake for a long time, staring at the ceiling, wondering what a man like that did with a day of silence, and I fell asleep hoping tomorrow would cough him up.
It didn't.
I woke to a blank screen. No calls, no messages, no missed anything. I called Daniel from the bathroom with the tap running.
"Still nothing," I told him. "Two days, Daniel. Complete silence. I don't know what he's doing."
"Bryan hasn't left his hotel room since the last time you saw him. My people are watching. He's planning something, we just can't see what yet."

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....
