Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 273

Chapter 273: Luna and Luke.

An unspoken decision was made for them all to go home, staying on the grounds of the ruined Lockhart asylum was not helping anyone.

They all had a lot on their minds and all the Mayfair’s in the group kept looking at Phoebe’s head, hoping that she would think about Ruth and this day that she had been waiting for.

From the bitterness and anger in Phoebe’s voice, they guessed that something really bad had happened between Phoebe and Ruth, something she had not shared with any of them.

“Let’s talk.” David took Phoebe’s hand.

He wanted to discuss the hidden enemy, all along he thought Phoebe had no clue about the person that had helped Ruth destroy not just them but the Saxons. What she did not know was that the Mayfair’s too had been ruined after her death.

If Phoebe knew something, then it was best to put their heads together and figure out the next step. He decided that it was time to dredge up that dreaded conversation.

“Not now.” she answered. She took back her hand and looked at the undead pets.

In her mind, she communicated with the Saxon ancestor. “Send Black kitty and Sylvester to follow the weird magic smell on the moon crystal. They should place tracking talismans on any vehicle she is in. I need to know where she ends up.”

“Pheebs….”

David and Collin called out at the same time. They both looked each other, exchanging similar looks of displeasure.

“David, you must have a lot to do in relation to the fire. You own Lockhart so there is a lot to handle, starting with handling the families of the deceased, figuring out what caused the fire, dealing with the press and so on. We will talk later.”

She decided to send David away first. He was reluctant to leave but she was right, his phone had not stop vibrating for a single minute since the fire started, he had simply been ignoring it mostly.

“Alright, i will see you later.”

He left and the Mayfair’s moved their feet to do the same. Grandma Mayfair noticed the excess addition to the group that was following them.

“Ahem!” she stopped, looked at Luna and cleared her throat.

“I will leave now.” Luna waved goodbye.

She walked fast, leaving the strolling Mayfair’s in the wind. But when she got to her car, she paused and sent a text.

[Let’s meet at Caesar’s bar along the high way.]

The message was sent to Luke and he read it after closing the door of the van and sending his family off. He escorted Phoebe to her car and watched her drive off as well.

Then, he moved to his car and looked at the text again, drumming his fingers against the door. Luke didn’t know why she was hellbent on talking to him. He had been surprised to get a call from her inviting him for a drink at the Celestial lounge.

He had turned her down initially but she had insisted. He figured that it had to be something important and curiosity got the better of him since Luna Elithera didn’t pick interest in just anyone.

Luke contemplated for a few more seconds and he sighed.

“I might as well get it over with.” he mumbled.

He got drove straight to the bar, the road was clear as a result of the diversion of traffic going towards Lockhart. He arrived earlier than anticipated and he was not shocked to find a welcoming party of armed men that worked for Luna. He was escorted into the empty bar which Luna had cleared out.

She was sitting by herself at a table in the center, sipping wine slowly while moving her head along to the old music coming from a jukebox in the corner.

“I didn’t think that you were actually coming.” A wide smile formed on her lips.

Luke’s face masked indifference as he pulled out a chair for himself opposite her.

“What are you playing at? You knew that I was coming so cut the crap and get to the point.” He leaned back in the chair.

“A drink perhaps?” Luna snapped her fingers summoning a waitress.

“No thanks, I don’t drink with strangers.” Luke’s suspicious eyes remained fixed on her. “You have five minutes of my time and if you waste them, i am not afraid to waste you.”

Luna’s heart fluttered, She liked the fact that he wasn’t doing much to please her besides she liked ruthless men. A tingle of excitement traveled down her spine, Luke Mayfair was a wolf, Andre a puppy. She liked wolves, they were vicious but could be loyal.

“What do you want from me Luna?” He shifted forward.

Luna crossed one leg over the other and placed the glass of wine on the table.

“Friendship.” she leaned forward as well.

It was a small table so the distance between them was not very big.

“Is this a joke?” A shaky laugh escaped his lips.

Luna licked her lips slowly, her eyes met Luke’s and she shook her head. Even in looks, Luke was far more handsome than Andre, why people were blind to it, she could not understand.

Initially, she just wanted to play around, he was her easiest link to the Mayfair’s after all. The more she looked at his face however, the more she liked it.

“I would never play with you Luke,” she answered in a soft sultry voice. “I am setting up shop in Citrus and I need connections to live here comfortably without some stupid founding families getting involved in my business. Be my connection Luke, be my friend we can both benefit from this.”

A faint, dry smile curled up Luke’s lips. “What could I possibly benefit from being your friend? Find someone else.” Luke shifted forward further as if he was going in for a kiss.

Just when his nose was an inch from Luna, he stood up.

“The black opal, floral bomb, candy bloom.” Luna blurted out in a steely voice.

Luke stopped in his steps, his face froze for a second and he turned around and sat down.

Luna giggled. “That’s more like it or should I keep mentioning all the poisons that you have been buying from the Elithera camp under pseudo names?” She initiated and maintained eye contact.

“Shh! keep your bloody mouth shut!” Luke spoke through gritted teeth. “You cannot out me, that would be breaking a confidential agreement with a client. If you do that then you won’t have any clients to sell to.”

“I didn’t say I was going to tell on you but my words might slip when your grandmother forbids me from going near Phoebe.” Luna crossed her arms.

“So it’s Phoebe you want? What the hell do you want from my sister?”

“I want to protect her, your sister saved my family and for that I owe her for life.” She leaned back, creating some space between them. “Truth be told, after everything with my father, i have become paranoid. Who knew that chicken feathers, nails, hair and a small puppet doll could be used to steal wealth and kill?

Your sister said something about my death, now when i close my eyes, i see it in my mind. I have a feeling that without her, i might die an untimely death. She is useful to me and I want her to live a very long, peaceful life so that i can do the same.” Luna’s eyes remained on him. “I am too hot to die in my prime.”
