Spoken Lies And Broken Ties

Reb's P.O.V.

I was busy typing on my laptop when my phone chimed with a text message and my attention shifted towards it.

'On my way….' it read.

"You know I have paid you twice more than you asked for just so you do as I have told you to and be extremely careful and efficient with your move. You know quite well that there is no room for error here." I called them up after receiving the text.

I am sure that Mark would be there in no time so he should be there before Mark so set everything up. I can't wait for the drama to begin. If everything goes smoothly then Mark will be exactly where I want him to be. Let him be as confident as he wants to be. Let him think he is trapping me whereas, in reality, he's the one being trapped.

I was done with the assignment when my phone chimed again with a message. I picked up my phone and checked it. Kate had sent me a video of my mom and dad's entry and I immediately connected my phone to the laptop. I clicked on it and saw my parents entering into the hall. Dad had his one hand in his pocket and the other one wrapped around mom's waist. I swear they look so cute together.

Kate shifted the focus of the camera on her and Jim's face popped along with hers onto my screen.

"Reb, get over with that stupid assignment of yours and get your a.s.s here. We are waiting for you." Kate chided.

"Reb seriously we are waiting for you. Get here as soon as possible please." Jim was very polite, unlike Kate who just ordered me to come there.

"Kate I'll be late but I'll try to come as soon as this assignment finishes." I finally got off the phone after convincing Kate that I would join them soon.

I know Kate and Jim genuinely wanted me to come, they never leave me alone after that incident and I absolutely love them but I just couldn't go there. I felt sorry for doing this to them. While Kate was busy ordering me, it sounded like gibberish to my ears because all my attention was focused on the background were Mark could be seen entering the venue. I replayed the video and a smirk automatically made its way to lips when I found him entering alone. He didn't bring a date along with him which was so unlikely of him.

Seeing him like this made me really happy. Poor guy was counting on spending the time with me. But he didn't know he would have to spend the night waiting for me and that wait would be never-ending.

I am going to make him levitate and make him think what he wants is really happening. I'll make him feel that he's actually winning and right when he is about to win; I'll push him down the cliff and turn his victory into mine. This will pull him over the edge and he would actually feel the same pain that I went through all these years because of him.

'I'm here' my phone buzzed.

The message I was waiting for finally arrived. With this message, the game is about to get interesting now. The stupid game that he thinks he started and believes that he is unbeatable at is finally going to be twisted. The reputation that precedes you; which you are so fond of is about to get messier today.

I opened the gallery of my laptop and look through our photographs together reliving the beautiful moments we had together.

"Mark, at this point in time I am not even sure if any of this was true. Whenever I think about the time we spent together, it just makes me realize that I was such an idiot to even think of being your friend." This just makes me sad. I still have these pictures because they motivate me to avenge you.

First, it was you who made me play the role of a fool but now tables have turned baby. It's time that I make you play this role. It will come to you as a crushing blow. You will receive your first shock today.

The phone ring distracted me from my thoughts. I checked the caller id hoping for it to be from them but it was Sarah instead. I picked up the call and she told me she has finished her assignment and wanted to thank me because I helped her in her assignment.

"Anytime" I replied smiling. She is sweet.

"Are you going to Mr. Hudson's party?" her question shook me for a second here. But I composed myself and immediately replied.

"No, Sarah, I won't be able to make it."

I honestly wasn't expecting this question from her but I still answered her honestly.

After getting off from the phone I got down to work.
