“You called it,” Wilder said. “Annika wasn’t going to waste a second once she had proof Gabriella was there that night. Glad you got to see that in person.”
“It didn’t have to go down like this. If she hadn’t said what she did about Winter, I might’ve been tempted to go easy on her. Gabriella’s the reason I’m not holding back against the Royals anymore. Their friends, their status, their reputations. I’m going to laugh over the burning flames of everything they care about.”
“Fuck’s sake, you’re so hot right now,” Rafael said. “Let’s find a storage room after this.”
“I’m being serious,” I replied, “and also yes.”
I rose up in my seat—satisfaction pumping my heart better than blood. Two down, two to go. Twisting around, I chanced a look at Saylor... and found her looking back at me.
FIND OUT IF IT’S TRUE Levi Thompkins Mutilated His Ex-Girlfriend.
Truth: Accepted
“You sick, twisted son of a bitch!”
Iris’s smoothie exploded on Levi’s jacket, showering everyone in his immediate vicinity.
My weekend was incredibly fruitful. I spent it planning Everleigh’s fall from grace, sending out private truths and dares for Wesley and Levi, and working on a little side project.
I also spent it obsessing about Victor and wondering if it would all even matter after he found out about me and Adonis.
I went back and forth for two days on if I should just tell him myself. That line of thought always ended with me accepting that I needed to respect Adonis’s wishes. I would lose a frustratingly, mind-boggling fiancé, but he would lose a brother. As someone who lost a sister, I couldn’t take that lightly.
All that aside, what did it mean that I had to propose to him, or decide if I was ready to stop self-sabotaging us? The guy acted like I was secretly head over heels in love with him but refused to admit it because he was a Royal.
Arrogant ass! I stabbed my spinach quiche. The guys and I were all in the café grabbing breakfast. Campus was never more fun than it was right then. I wasn’t missing anything.
I bet he thinks everyone is secretly in love with him. And who goes around saying they’re willing to give up their billion-dollar inheritance if it means giving me the choice to marry someone I truly love? Am I supposed to swoon? Is my heart supposed to flutter over how selfless he is?
As if! My quiche was getting utterly destroyed. I won’t fall for his tricks. Victor Wilson will not get me to admit or do anything.
“You did assault Sadie.” Iris brandished the photo of her old friend before she had the cosmetic surgery to remove Levi’s brand.
How the T.O.D. Club member got their hands on that, I’d never know. But the photos of his initials clear as day on her forehead, spread faster than the truth lists. Who was the lying bitch now?
I dragged my thoughts out of Victor drama and focused. This is what he was doing to me. The most important thing I had to do was take down these bastards, but he kept invading my mind.
“That’s the worst photoshop job I’ve ever seen.” Levi shook off his jacket, casually shaking off its new whipped banana accessory. “I didn’t touch her, and that fake pic isn’t proof otherwise.”
“Save it. Sadie finally got back to me after I sent her the photo and asked if it was real.” Iris turned on the gathering crowd. “It is! Levi saw she was texting her ex, so he held her down and carved his initials on her face. He’s an evil, twisted sociopath who scared her so badly, she moved away and changed her name because she thought he would kill her!”
I’d never seen anyone so calm. “Bullshit,” Levi said. “You and your friend are making it up because Sadie finally has a chance to get back at me for sleeping around and then dumping her.” He shrugged. “Yeah, I cheat, but you’re not pinning anything else on me.”
“Levi Thompkins calling a survivor a liar.”
The crowd parted. Katie came through, taking her place next to Iris. “Why am I not surprised? You did the same thing when you told the dean Ashton was with you the night he raped a girl.”
“What? That was true?”
“Ugh, man. What’s wrong with you?”
“How could you do that?”
Levi’s jaw clenched—his composure cracking under the rising tide of disgust. “Shut the fuck up, Katie. That never happened!”
“Aww.” She pulled a sad face. “So all these women are lying and being mean to you because you’re such a nice guy.” Katie looked around. “Ladies, can you back me up here? Is Levi a nice, safe guy who respects women?”
“He’s a monster.”
“A bully.”
“He’s abusive!”
Katie tipped her head, a cold smile on her lips. “I thought so. That kind of behavior isn’t fitting of a Royal, Thompkins. You’re out.”
