Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 185

Chapter 185: Linda woeful journey.

Saddened to hear that her grandfather had become ill because of her disappearance, Linda bit her bottom lip and tried not to choke on her tears. After all this time, he had not moved on, it seemed.

“I remember him to be so healthy, he should have just moved on like I did. I told him that when I visited his dreams right before I crossed to this side.”

She rubbed tears away from her cheeks with the back of her hand.

Phoebe took a sip of the lemon grass tea she had brought over from the shop. It was going to be a long chat because she had a lot of questions for Linda. She didn’t know how long the spell would last and she wanted answers quickly.

“What happened to you? Nobody knows that you are dead, your family thinks that you run away with another man.”

Linda scorned at the mention of family, the very people that had led her to her death.

“Those people ruined me, my woes began when I revealed to my family that I was not interested in marrying Abel. I was only eighteen and I wanted to further my education, expand my skills and travel the world but my parents had other plans for me, a forced marriage.

I tried to get out of it by persuading my grandfather to help me and he intervened but my head strong parents didn’t listen to him.

I even tried to cajole Abel but he showed me how serious he was by converting to the faith of light and agreeing to move into our house. When poppy Luther traveled out of the country, my parents took the chance and forced me to marry Abel.

It was a sad private wedding which I was forced into just because I was betrothed to him and he had showed commitment by converting to the light faith. Abel, that beast acted like the perfect son-in-law, so devoted to my family and tolerant of everything.

My father even appreciated Abel by making him the home affairs accountant. When Grandpa returned he was furious but the deed was already done and divorce in our family was a taboo unless one had a strong unshakable reason.” She swallowed deeply.

“Why was Abel dismissed from being the affairs accountant?” Phoebe asked.

“Honestly, i am not sure why but it was Grandpa that dismissed him, claiming that a professional was taking over.” Linda shrugged.

Phoebe put one and two together and connected the dots. The broke Castors suddenly had money to spend in Eagle country and then they went broke again, the timeline matched perfectly.

“Please keep going how did Abel do this to you? I am certain that he has everything to do with your death.” Phoebe rubbed her chin.

“Even if ours was a loveless marriage, it was odd that Abel had not once approached me for sex. We slept in the same bedroom but he didn’t try not even once to initiate a physical relationship. I am not saying that I wanted him to. Honestly, i was actually relieved that he didn’t touch me. But it was odd, so I began to spy on him because if he was cheating then all I had to do was expose and be free of him.

My parents suddenly began to talk about grandchildren and that’s when Abel shamelessly accused me of infidelity. I denied of course, because it was not true but it was all in vain because he had cooked up evidence, pictures of me with different naked men in bed. I don’t know how or when he took them.

I was speechless but my parents condemned me immediately and pleaded with Abel to keep things quiet on the other hand, they banned me from leaving the house. From that day fourth I became an outcast in my own home, priests from the church came to perform exorcisms on me because obviously I was possessed by darkness. They even called me the devil’s wife and whipped me with ropes.

It was as if their ears were blocked to my cries and pleas. All i said about Abel fell on deaf ears and the more i tried to expose him, the more evidence against me piled up.

I confronted Abel but the man laughed and called me his lifeline. “Just be a good wife, do as your told and shut up unless you want your grandfather to die of a heartbreak. If you cannot take it anymore then you can ask me for a knife to slit your wrists.” That’s exactly what he said to me.

I was afraid for my poppy so I did as told and from then on my life became a living hell. I watched my parents hate me and treat me like the devil but love and praise the man that had assassinated my character. He drugged my food and drinks, making me emotionally unstable. I became a shadow of myself and eventually, i started to think that ending my life was the solution. My grandfather would be safe and i would be free.

The morning i was planning to end it all, I went into the maze gardens that’s where I found them, Abel and Conrad. They were naked and doing stuff…intimate things. I was shocked at first but then everything began to make sense. I finally saw the light and took pictures of them as proof.

I hoped that my family would come to their senses. The first person i told was Brandon who found me running out of there, my phone fell and he picked it up. On seeing the pictures, he sneered grabbed my arm and took me back into the maze.”

“I am sorry what? “Phoebe blurted out.

Brandon was Linda’s brother, if there was evidence that exonerated her of the cheating scandals and also revealed Abel’s true face, he should have jumped on it and protected his sister.

Why would he take her back into the maze, to the very man that had ruined her life? Phoebe recalled the way Brandon had been extra worried about Abel, he had had been as concerned as Conrad.

If Conrad was Abel’s lover, could it be that Brandon was just the same? David had mentioned him being a strip club addict so Phoebe had doubts. Then again, it could be a cover up.

Before rebirth, she didn’t remember ever hearing about Brandon Verdemont getting married.

“No way, it can’t be what i am thinking.” She shook her head.

“What?” the Saxon spirit asked curiously.

Phoebe looked at Linda and asked, “Are the three of them by any chance together?”

Nodding her head in confirmation, Linda stared back at Phoebe. “Yes.”
