I couldn't believe how put down I was by him even after I was dead.This was the man I loved for so many years,the one I thought I could entrust with my life!
Skylar hung up,and I knew that she was mad with anger.If she had the chance to be in the same room as Mason,she'd probably be throwing punches.
I laughed at the thought.Mason really was a jerk for doing me dirty.
He cursed out loud,slamming his phone on the table,causing the silverwares on the table to clank against each other.
The loud impact heightened the tensed atmosphere,making it damn near impossible for someone to breathe.Everyone in the room held their breath,hopefully not to ruin Mason's mood further.
The blood drained on Mrs Reeds face,leaving it pale in complexion after she overheard snippets of the conversation.
She figured something was wrong but couldn't place her hands on it.
She moved closer to him,"Tell me the truth,Mason.Is Peyton really in trouble?Is she?"
Mason scowled."Mom,don't fall for her tricks again.Peyton's incredibly resilient,so she won't die so easily!"
His mother trembled with anger."Even if you don't love her anymore,there's no need to be so cruel!"
He cut her off."For the past two months,she's used saving me to guilt trip you into letting me marry her.She warmed her way into your heart with her cheap lies and tricks and you fell for it."
"And I obviously won't be surprised if the car accident was part of her plans all along!"He added,seething in rage as he stood before his mother.Mrs Reeds wasn't having it and came to my defense in an instant.
"Boy!!Watch your tone when speaking with me.I'm your mother and not some skank that you picked up,"she said,taking a step further."And you will shut up when I tell you to do so.Do you hear me?"
My head throbbed again.Watching mother and son exchange words with each other for my sake caused my heart to ache.
I regretted saving his conniving ass back then.I could have saved myself alone and mourned him if he has died in the accident.
Just then,his phone rang again.He smirked.
"What did I tell you,mum?Peyton herself is calling me,so tell me,how could a missing person call me,hmmm?"
Mrs Reeds rolled her eyes at him before prompting him to pick up the call.
"Pick up the phone and stop acting like some crazy dude."
