“Savanna! How can you let them say such things?” She asks me shrilly. “After everything I did for you? I could have left you all alone but instead I took you in as my own daughter!” My head finally comes up at that with a deep frown. “You took me in? The minute they released me from the hospital you and Vanessa took the jet to the Bahamas. You left a broken, traumatized, grieving child all alone with no one but the staff to care for.” I shake my head. “You didn’t take me in. You just took.
This girl, this sweet, perfect girl is so fucking broken inside and I know it’s not just from what happened to her today. I can tell from the way she’s sobbing it’s so much more. The pain rolling off her is years of stored heartache and it fucking kills me to know I had a hand in putting some of it there.
“Did he try to take your purse? Did he try to rape you? Or did he just try to kill you, Savy?” I feel the blood drain from my face as flashes of cold, black eyes run through my mind.
“As long as her name is Sevan and what she does affects our brand then it is my fucking business. Who the hell are you?” Mark snaps back and I just burrow deeper into Ash’s chest wishing they would all go away so I could have some peace and quiet. “No problem. I’ll marry her tomorrow and then you can keep the fucking name because she’ll have mine. You want to know who I am? I’m the motherfucker that will slaughter anyone who tries to hurt my doll again. That includes you!”
“I was there.” His brow furrows in confusion. “The day you stepped out on the field for the first time as a pro player. I was there in the stands and I was so damn proud of you. You weren’t alone.”
