Ash barges in with a furious expression dragging with him, of all people, Savy’s sister by the arm.He shoves her towards us and rages out, “Your girl is a fucking liar! She’s been lying to us all along!”I roll my eyes at his dramatics, a grin tugging at my lips, already knowing what this is about. Somehow, he’s finally figured out that Savy’s his Butterfly and he’s about to have a Charlie Sheen level meltdown.“Pathetic little bookworm is actually the fucking Butterfly! She’s been conning me for two fucking years!” He rages at us.I shrug one shoulder and let my grin spread causing Ash to roar and lunge at me.“You… you fucking knew?”I bark a laugh as Tate and Beck pull him away from me. “I fucking told you to look harder, you blind dumbass!”“Wait, Savy? Savy’s the Butterfly?” Tate asks incredulously.“Did NOT see that coming,” Beck muses with a shocked look.Ash rocks his head side to side in denial as everything he thought he knew goes up in smoke. I turn to look at the cunt he’s dragged into our house and see the calculating look in her eyes as they bounce between us.“What the fuck is she doing here?” I spit out.Ash chokes out a bitter laugh. “Oh, it gets so much fucking worse! Her being the Butterfly is just the fucking tip of the iceberg when it comes to her lies.” He reaches out and drags her forward. “Tell them! Fucking tell them who she really is!”Vanessa tosses her hair back and a smug smile crosses her face. “My sister’s real name is Savanna Sevan, as in…Sevan Stadium. She’s worth billions! She could buy and sell each one of you. Her name is literally on the stadium you play football in! She’s been making fools out of all of you this whole time!”Whoa…that’s…wow, just wow. My doll’s loaded? That’s…a lot to take in. I’m a little hurt that she didn’t share that with me but she must have had a good reason to keep that to herself.Movement behind the annoying blond has me tilting my head to the side to see past the screeching harpy and I see a white-faced Savy standing there. She’s looking smoking hot in red stilettos, a black micro-mini, a sheer red crop top that shows a black bra underneath, and dark smoky made-up eyes with her hair billowing out around her. The long puffy jacket she must have thrown on over her Butterfly outfit is gaping open, showing me everything. She looks fucking bombing and I would love to see her dressed like that every day. The sister catches my look and spins around.“There you are, sister! I was just letting your fuck-boys in on your little scam. I thought it was only fair to tell them that you’re an heiress to billions and that you’ve been playing them all along.”Savy jerks her head as her mouth drops open to speak but her sister turns back to us and plows on viciously before she can say a word.“She’s not who she pretends to be! It’s all a game to her. Savy acts like this lonely little nerd to suck guys in so she can play her sick and twisted games with them. She’s done this before with other guys. She even managed to convince Hunter that she was a virgin! She’s a slutty whore who will fuck anyone to satisfy her sick mind.”“No! I’ve never…” Savy tries to get out.“She’s an embarrassment to our family. She has mental issues. That’s why we make her use her mother’s maiden name. There were even rumors that she had something to do with her dad’s accident!”Savy goes paler as she sucks in a shocked breath at such a cruel thing for her sister to say. I’m just about done with this bullshit. I can see how bad the vile words are hurting my doll and I’m a step from dragging this bitch out by her hair when Savy speaks in a broken whisper.“No, no, no, none of that…”“She’s a fucking fake! Everything about my sister is a fake and you are all fools for falling for it!” Vanessa screeches over Savy’s words.That breaks Ash’s control causing him to take a menacing step toward her and roar, “Yes, she is! You are a fucking fake. Two fucking years you’ve been conning me! Everything that comes out of your mouth is a lie.”Savy shakes her head violently and her eyes look to Tate but he’s just shaking his head with a look of disgust. Beck stares back at her with dead, flat eyes like he’s daring her to try and deny what the sister is saying. A small trickle of doubt moves through me. I don’t care about her dancing and as far as her last name goes, so what, but it’s the other things, the fucking around with other guys, and playing twisted games that has me feeling a touch uncertain. So when her hurt, panic-filled eyes land on me, I can’t help myself. I need to hear her deny it.“You been playing me, doll?”As soon as I ask that, I know I’ve fucked up. I should have believed in her, believed in us, because I see my baby doll shatter at my lack of faith in her. Like a switch goes off inside of her, everything that makes her my doll drains away until she’s just an empty shell in front of us. Her hands drop to her sides limply, her whole body droops, her eyes -
