"If that dress arrives and you don't wear it, there'll be trouble."
My stomach twisted into a knot. "I already have a dress picked out."
"Tell me your room number, so I can have it delivered. I already know which hotel you're staying at."
The floor seemed to tilt. "How did you know that?"
"There's nothing I want to know that I can't find out." Smug. Utterly smug. "I want that dress delivered immediately. Someone will be at the hotel within minutes. Give me your room number and I'll have a waiter bring it up. Don't waste my time."
Arguing with him had never once improved my life.
"There's no need. Just leave it at the reception. I'll come down and collect it myself."
"Fine. As long as you pick it up. But if I don't see you wearing that dress today, you'll have a problem with me." There was a beat. "Come downstairs within five minutes. It'll be waiting."
"Okay." I ended the call and leaned on the sink for a moment, breathing.
Back in the suite, Scarlett was still at the mirror, blending away, oblivious.
I drifted over and stood beside her, admiring the half-finished face in the mirror with a smile I manufactured from nothing, while my eyes ticked to the clock on the wall. Four minutes. Three.
"Keep doing your makeup." I grabbed my room key. "I'll be right back."
She paused, brush in the air, and looked me over.
"You haven't even changed into any of the dresses we picked out. You're still in your regular clothes. Where exactly are you going?"
"I just want to check something at the reception. I won't be long."
She studied me for a long moment, the way she did, and then smiled. "Okay. But hurry back."
I rode the elevator down with my heart tapping out a nervous rhythm, crossed the lobby, and spotted her immediately, a woman standing beside the reception desk with a flat parcel held against her chest.

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....
