Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 249

Chapter 249: Urgent mission.

“Me!” Phoebe loudly exclaimed.

Her eyes were wide open, expressing disbelief at the outrageous accusation.

“Why do you think i did something?”

David smirked, he did not believe his shortie one bit. He pushed a glass of wine towards her. “Well, did you?”

She bit the corner of her bottom lip and considered denying her role in the Elithera bloodbath which she was just hearing about but it was no use. At the end of the day, he would find out anyway.

“Look, it’s not my fault, all i did was break a spell and save a life. Everything else that followed is not my fault, it’s the bad guys that are to blame.”

“You…” David started.

He had to pause because two servers brought their food over and given how hungry Phoebe was, he decided to let her enjoy her meal in peace. After eating to her fill, Phoebe narrated all that had happened at the Elithera compound, starting right from the day she met Luna to the gunshots she heard.

Halfway through her narration, her grandmother had joined them so the old lady caught up on the Elithera gossip as well. One minute later. Andre and Evelyn joined them as well.

By the time Phoebe was done with the narration, the old lady was shaking her head and smacking her lips.

“I knew the sixth brother was behind this after all you told us yesterday. He is another ungrateful bastard like Ruth, whenever the heart isn’t contented with the little you have, you end up yearning for what doesn’t belong to you.”

David’s fingers massaged his chin. “The O’Connor’s are such a respectable bunch of people, i am shocked that they resorted to black magic. As for the the Soprinos, i am not surprised.

It is believed that Duncan’s forces have wiped out almost half of their people, they had to retaliate. I guess bullets, knives and poisons have failed them if magic was their go to this time.

Knowing the Elithera’s, there is going to be an even bigger bloodbath in the city. They never shy away from using violence to silence their enemies. I don’t think it is the right time to vacation here.”

“Does this mean that we are about to see the biggest gang war in history?” There was a lot of anticipation in Andre’s voice.

He was all but ready to film and record the live action before turning it into a script. As expected, wherever Phoebe went, inspiration struck.

Phoebe frowned and looked into his sparkling eyes. “I really hope not because innocent people will get caught in the cross fire.” She prayed that Luna would keep her family under control.

Evelyn waved her hands in the air. “Enough of all of this guys, we are in Magic city! We need to have some fun before we get back to boring old Citrus.” She announced excitedly.

Andre and grandma Mayfair supported the suggestion however Phoebe lazily objected.

All she wanted to do was stay at the hotel where it was safe indoors. She needed more time with that mattress and even more information on that Bayan shaman.

“Come on Pheebs! Don’t be a party pooper, listen the Novemberfest music carnival is happening right now. How can you stay indoors at such a time? You need to come out with me and shake your booty.” Evelyn persuaded.

The Saxon spirit appeared wearing an anxious expression. “You must go to Novemberfest.”

It’s voice was shaky but commanding, a sign that something was wrong.

Phoebe excused herself to her room after promising to think about Evelyn’s suggestion seriously. David wanted to follow but she used the excuse of taking a bath to stop him. As soon as she closed the door, she quizzed the anxious spirit.

“What is going on? Why do i have to go to the music carnival?”

“Remember that I told you that one of the reasons as to why you were reborn was to help the Saxons avoid the unfortunate incidents that happened to them. Well today Valarie Saxon is going to encounter the danger which will lead to her eventual death, it all happens at the music carnival.”

The name rung a bell, Phoebe vividly recalled sweet Valerie Saxon. She did not know much about the young woman except for the fact that she was sweet and kind. While most of the Saxons had been contented with ignoring Phoebe, Valerie had always smiled and said a polite hello when they run into each other.

It was such a shame that the girl committed suicide and she was buried in a rush by her parents without the rest of the family being clued in. A general false announcement was made that she died in a fire.

Phoebe was one of five people that knew about the suicide and why it happened. Apparently Valerie had contracted a disease and could not live with the shame so she took her life.

To hide this secret, she was buried quickly and never mentioned again. Phoebe only knew about this because she was hiding from Miranda, secretly grabbing a bite to eat in the Saxon cemetery and overheard Valerie’s parents discussing her true cause of death.

Phoebe unfolded her arms, her resistance crumbling into desperation. She liked Valerie and in this life, she was willing to do whatever it took to save her.

“How do I save her and where exactly am I supposed to find her? What kind of danger is she in?” she asked the spirit.

“The circumstances are the same as back then, someone is plotting against her and it happens to be her best friend Belinda Kaplan.”

A haughty sniff came from Phoebe’s lips. “Best friends and betrayal, I understand that perfectly. Phoebe’s thoughts run to her once best friend Ruth, it had been a while since she had last checked on her but Luke was doing that religiously and sharing updates with the rest of the family.

“How did she die in the past and what time? I know it could change but still I want to know what happened in order to eliminate the danger entirely. Why did her friend harm her?” Phoebe quizzed further because she did not have the necessary information.

In order to convince Valerie she needed to have more than a verbal claim.

The Saxon spirit suddenly waved her hand, smashing a flower vase against the wall.

“It’s murder, my descendant was plotted against and infected with that disease deliberately. We don’t have time to discuss the details. You just need to find Valerie now and save her before it’s too late. Remember that saving her will be rewarding because your lifespan will increase depending on how you deal with the entire situation.”

Phoebe literally went flying through the door to handle the urgent task.

Everyone was still lounging in the restaurant engaging in more Elithera gossip when Phoebe returned, slightly out of breath.

“Why are you lazing around people, go get ready! We have a carnival to attend to.” She clapped her hands continuously in the bid to encourage them to hasten up.

“Wait a minute, we are going?” David asked as he got to his feet. Initially he was relieved that they were staying in doors because he was tired. Now that Phoebe was going out it automatically meant that he was going too, he was not letting her go without him by her side.

“Why?” Andre asked.

He did not think that Phoebe was the ‘shake your booty type’ as Evelyn had described. Phoebe was always neck deep in herbs, research, murder cases, ghosts and all things supernatural.

She loved the beach and sunrise, long walks and star gazing. Reading novels, eating deserts, sipping wine, sleeping like an overfed kitten.

Andre’s list of things Phoebe loved could go on but none of those things was shaking the booty. Phoebe was not much of a dancer.

“What changed? A while ago you were adamant to step out of the hotel.” Grandma Mayfair asked.

Evelyn quickly shook her head. “Granny don’t ask. Whatever it was, we should just be grateful. This is going to be so much fun, i can’t wait.” she squealed.
