Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 246

Chapter 246: Truth and relief

A female maid in an outfit that looked like blue scrubs used by nurses worldwide pointed Phoebe to a brown leather chair in the lounge.

Phoebe did as told, and the ghosts sat down as well.

“Look around, learn some things.” Phoebe instructed them.

Sylvester left first and Connie was the last to go, dragging her invisible ghost feet.

“Even their home is designed to look like a hotel, so boring.” Connie muttered as she left.

Forty minutes had passed since Judy had ordered Phoebe to sit in the living room and wait after she demanded to see the sixth brother.

From that time till now, the Elithera’s had showed up one after the other. They watched her like a spectacle especially those that had missed the show at the hospital.

Phoebe was like a snake in a cage at the zoo, she just watched them without expressing any interest or giving them a reaction. They could look all they wanted, she was unbothered.

One young woman boldly approached her finally and she sat down besides Phoebe. She held a slight resemblance to Luna but it was not that strong. Where Luna was hard, this woman was soft. Her blonde hair was big and fluffy, the eyes small but expressive and radiant. Despite all that was going on in the family, she was warm like rare sunshine on a rainy day.

Shyly, she giggled.

“Hi.”

“Hi.” Phoebe responded in a neutral tone.

The young woman licked her lips and smiled. “So…err…miss shaman, i am getting married soon and I would like to know whether my fiance really loves me or he is after our family money.” A tinge of fear laced her words.

A faint smile tugged on Phoebe’s lips. “Does that even matter, i am sure you are marrying someone of equal financial means. What you should care about is if you are compatible. Give me your hand.” She requested to which the young woman quickly obliged.

Phoebe studied it closely for a moment. “I can see a good marriage in your future….”

The cracking sound of sharp pointed heels approaching diverted her attention and she let go of the young woman’s hand.

“Finally.” She muttered on seeing Luna. The room fell silent that one could have heard a rat piss on cotton.

The young woman escaped from Phoebe’s side as if Luna was a beast. She took an elevator, following some of the others that were rushing away.

“Phoebe i am sorry that i wasn’t here to welcome you but imagine my surprise on hearing that you were here and it was not to see me but rather my the sixth uncle.” Luna smiled hesitantly, she sat in a single heavily cushioned chair where the young woman had been sitting previously.

She was not alone, two of her uncles and some bodyguards had followed. They positioned themselves around Luna immediately.

Phoebe turned and faced Luna with a resolve in her eyes.

“I am here for one thing only, a clear conscience. I need to confirm that it was he that committed those atrocities, further more i want to know why he did what he did it.” Phoebe spoke firmly, her eyes locked with Luna’s.

The second uncle sneered. “And you think that he will tell you? We have done everything in our power to cajole him into talking but he is one tough bastard. Just concentrate on healing our Duncan, we will decide on what to do to our sixth brother.” He spoke through pursed lips.

His words only caused the tension within her body to swell up. “You mean kill him?” Phoebe asked, her heart pounding in her chest like the beat of a war drum. Had she asked a provocative question? She asked herself when she noticed that all their scary eyes were fixed on her. However she was unfazed, she was not going to let them kill the man on her watch if he was innocent.

“We believe in an eye for an eye, you have done your part shaman, it’s our turn to do ours. I believe that those were your words so why are you getting involved in our part?” The fourth sister spewed out.

“Do you think i want to?” Phoebe quizzed in turn. “I don’t want to involve myself in your business as well.”

Luna sat in a straight posture but she shot warning looks to her relatives. “Everyone calm down, Ambrose go and bring sixth uncle here.” She ordered.

“But….” the fourth aunt started.

Luna sent her blood curling gaze when she tried to loudly protest the decision and the woman folded her lips shut.

It wasn’t long before the six brother limped in, he had visible fresh cuts, a reflection of the torture he had been through. He was guarded on both sides by two beefy men and one skinny woman followed them.

Phoebe sighed on noticing that he had two swollen black eyes and a broken arm.

“Luna, Luna, I am your uncle. Please stop doing this! I am innocent and I do not feel well, at least let me see a doctor.” He lamented upon seeing Luna.

Phoebe wasted no time in sending the Saxon spirit to study the man’s condition. He smelled off, something on him or in him was rotting.

The spirit hovered around him, sniffing him over and over in search of something like a dog.

“When the curse was lifted it went straight to him, he is going to die soon.” It returned and told Phoebe.

She clenched the arms of the chair and sighed loudly in relief.

“It was him after all, thank God i am not wrong.”

Now that she had her answer, Phoebe wasted no time, she pulled out a truth speaking talisman that the spirit put in her jacket pocket.

“I need your word that if I compel him to say the truth, you won’t kill him. This man is dying anyway, the backlash from the curse which had been put on Duncan went straight to him.” Her words were directed to Luna who seemed to be in charge.

Before Luna could respond, the group murmured relentlessly, a sea of faces caught in the undercurrent of discontent.

On hearing Phoebe’s words, the sixth brother’s eyes grew widely open. “W…what do you mean? Please…tell me.” His hands began to tremble. “What did you do?” he questioned desperately.

“You have my word.” Luna spoke firmly, she wanted to get to the bottom of it.

“What? Since when do you speak for everyone? You may be Duncan’s enforcer and daughter but he hasn’t named an heir yet.”

Someone shouted from the back. Others shook their heads, lips pressed in thin lines of disagreement. Most of them kept their various opinions to themselves.

It made Luna all the more interested in hearing what Phoebe could find out. She was suspicious of everyone in the family at this point.

“Go ahead Phoebe, don’t let these barking dogs frighten you.” Luna gave consent.

Phoebe moved towards the trembling man and placed the talisman on his chest.

“Tell me all your plans and name your co-conspirators you are working with to take down the Elithera family.” She ordered him.

The six brother’s eye lids began to flicker visibly, only the whites where showing. “I am working with the Soprinos and O’Connor’s. Some people in the family are also part of us, we will not stop until Duncan and all those loyal to him are dead.” He confessed.
