Uncanny Tales – (064) The Final Revenge

 

Tom and Mark Lewis were fraternal twins and growing up were each other’s best friend as well and roamed the countryside of the Vale as they grew from boys to men and there was no reason why their friendship wouldn’t survive into adulthood had it not been for the fact that Tom betrayed his brother by sleeping with Mark’s fiancé Dakota the night before their wedding.

As a result, Mark was unable to forgive either of them and suffice is to say that the wedding didn’t go ahead, he also refused to pay any of the bills related to the wedding and referred all of them to “the slut”.

He also published pictures of both of the culprits and blackened their names on social media. 

In addition, he set up a rival business in direct competition to his brother with the sole intention of stealing trade from him and undercut his rival at every turn and try to break him.

But Mark wasn’t satisfied with that, he also dogged Tom in his leisure time as well and even holiday’d in the same location, even though he could well afford to holiday at more upmarket resorts and he ate at the same restaurants.

However, it wasn’t until 8 years after the initial betrayal that Mark was able to draw a line underneath it and get on with his life.

 

It happened on the Greek island of Andros in the Cyclades and Mark was sitting on his balcony looking down on the square in Batsi and below he could see Tom sitting at a table at the Medusa bar and he made sure that he saw him watching and even gave him a wave.

“Who are you waving to?” Gemma asked from his bed

“Your husband” he replied
