Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 267

Chapter 267: Cuckoo for Phoebe

David looked at the open bottle of wine and he strongly contemplated picking it up and smashing it over Luna’s head.

There was something about her that most people did not know, Luna Elithera had a mean streak of possessiveness. Be it her toys, friends, boyfriends, weapons___, anything that she marked as hers, she did not want to share.

It was obvious that she had marked Phoebe as her friend and she was going to do all it took to make Phoebe reciprocate the friendship. She was a lunatic that would not hesitate to get rid of Evelyn if she thought the other was the reason why Phoebe did not like her.

And when it came to enemies, she would not hesitate to kill for Phoebe and keep her safe, even against her own family if it that was what it took.

Luna Elithera’s loyalty and love a gift and a curse for the recipient. In David’s eyes, it looked more like a curse than a gift.

He knew old lady Mayfair was determined to keep Phoebe away from Luna. What if crazy Luna snapped and killed her?

Phoebe would be inconsolable, she was the one that brought Luna into their lives after all.

“How much will it cost for you to leave the city and Phoebe?” David asked.

Luna turned her dark eyes to him and she rolled them. “You cannot afford me Saxon, my love is not for sale. What are you so apprehensive about? It’s not as if i am going to harm her. In fact, i might prove to be more helpful than you in some things.”

With a glint of victory in her eyes, she leaned forward once more. “I heard that you have been digging into Ruth Gabriel and i have information on the Gabriel’s which even your people have failed to find. This information might be useful to you, no__, it will be of great use to you.”

At the mention of Ruth Gabriel, his interest piqued. Not many people knew that he was digging around for such information but it was not surprising that Luna knew. The Elithera’s were in the information trade business, one he had joined after his rebirth.

As much as she made him feel uneasy, the information was necessary.

“What is it?”

Luna wagged an index finger from side to side, slowly she picked up the glass of wine and downed it.

“I want a deal, you protect me while i am setting down roots in Citrus city and don’t interfere in my business and i will share something with you.”

“No deal.” he answered without hesitation. “What if your stay here brings trouble to Phoebe?”

“Then i will expel myself from the city, like i said, i am here for TK majorly. This information, it is something you really don’t want to miss and i am only offering it this once Saxon.”

She raised her hand. “Five seconds.”

Luna counted the seconds loudly, lowering a finger with each count. Just before the last one fell, David surrendered.

“Fine, as long as it helps me protect Phoebe, we have a deal. If it’s useless, i will hunt you down and shoot you with your own guns.” he threatened.

Luna touched her pocket, brought out a pen and clicked it.

“I have recorded this conversation, you know how it works in the information business, a word is as good as a binding contract.”

“Know…talk.” David urged.

He was impatient that he did not even bother to use a full sentence, picking out words he needed.

“Once upon a time, the number of founding families was big, much bigger than the ones still standing today.” Luna poured herself another glass of wine, taking her time to share the information.

The more she dallied, provoking David with the satisfied glint smirk on her lips, the more he longed to stuff the wine glass down her throat.

She was just so infuriating!!

“In 1799 among the founding families that had traveled all the way from the unclaimed lands was one young man named Othello. I don’t have all the information, some of it is missing but this Othello fellow was apparently a bad egg so his family was expelled from the founding society. Back then, if a family was expelled all information on them was wiped out.

The family would be executed, from adults to children, they were all wiped out. After the rumored magical wars, Othello committed a crime for which he was imprisoned while his family was erased from the world.

In prison, he served time with a petty thief named Gabriel. The two men escaped prison at the same time and crossed into Magic city but, only one made it home. Guess which one it was?”

“Gabriel.” David answered.

Luna gave him a thumbs up. “Wow, you are smart.”

David scoffed. His answer was only obvious because the Gabriel’s still existed while the Othello’s he had never heard about.

“However, apparently the Gabriel that made it home looked nothing like the original Gabriel. This was something his mother loudly shared with the neighbors and anybody that cared to hear.

A day after he returned home, all members of the Gabriel family that lived under one roof died suspiciously in a fire. This incident happened a long time ago and the only reason why the information reached us is because mama Gabriel said her son had been replaced with an alien.

My cousin Lucera keeps an eye on all things alien in Magic city. We all know they are not real but with all the weird things in the world, knowledge is better than ignorance.

When i looked into Phoebe, i did a deep dive into the Gabriel’s. They are possibly descended from Othello, i don’t know if this information will help you but i believe there is something there.

I intend to keep digging, this concerns my shaman after all. In order to live a long safe life and avoid early death, she needs to be safe.

Word of advise, kill Ruth Gabriel, a dead enemy is the only enemy i consider handled. If your enemy is alive, you are not safe, you are only giving them time to resurrect and try again. Be wiser David…think big.”

“You..” David started but the door opened and a familiar face walked into the private room.

David looked from Luna to the new entrant that happened to be Luke Mayfair. Luke paused in his steps and he looked from Luna to David.

The two men were definitely not expecting to run into each other.

“What the hell is going on here?” he blurted out.

Luke used one finger to push up his round silver glasses, holding the slightly cold look in his eyes steady.

“I have business with her, why are you here?” he questioned slowly.

David looked from Luna to Luke, again, uncertain about what business the two possibly had together. As far as he knew, they had never met.

He recalled Luna giving Andre her business card and now she was meeting Luke privately. Was it her intention to hook up with one of the two single Mayfair boys?

The phone rung just when David prepared himself to respond.

“Boss, there is a fire at the asylum, get here quickly.”

He turned to Luke and relayed the message without hanging up. Three people dashed out of the private room and away from the Celestial Lounge.

All of them had one question, what were Ruth’s circumstances in the fire? Was she dead or alive?
