Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 275

Chapter 275: Sleep did not come easy.

“Kill him, why would i do that? Quick death is an easy way out for that evil incarnate. He was Ruth’s co-conspirator inside the Gabriel house and he plotted against David over and over to the point where he sold company secrets and accused me of being the leak.

I tried to defend myself but the evidence was overwhelming, if it had not been for Polly, i would have been arrested.

He also tried to molest me three times, i narrowly escaped his evil schemes. He set me up every time he got an opportunity, his mother even accused me of theft at a party and humiliated me.”

What?” Connie exploded. “Sister, where was David when all this was happening? Ancestor, you see now why i do not support sister and David getting together again. He failed to protect and stand up for her.”

Sylvester opened his mouth to agree with Connie but the warning glare which the the spirit was sending them both encouraged him to keep his opinion to himself.

“He was not around when most of these things happened.” Phoebe moved to the bed and sat down.

They always targeted her when David had traveled for business, never touching her when he was around__and he traveled a lot during the years in which they were married.

In a twelve month year, David roughly spent a maximum of three months at home. These three months would be divided up in weeks and days, never an actual whole month. He was always away on business, and he never had about her suffering because she never complained, being the good wife that she was striving to be.

When grandma Saxon died, Miranda became the matriarch so no servant could divulge any information about Phoebe’s struggles to David. If they did, they risked being fired so a lot of things were swept under the rug.

The theft accusation at the party for example, it was seen as an embarrassment to the family and nobody mentioned it. It was hard to suppress it however, David did hear of it eventually and he punched Dickson, breaking his nose.

“I will make him my puppet in this life, it’s how we will get information on the enemy. We are in the light, they are in the dark, we have to take advantage of the knowledge of the past in order to fight back.”

Phoebe planned to make them all turn against each other, in the end they would kill each other.

“Let’s go into the space and begin your lessons.” the Saxon spirit put a hand on Phoebe’s shoulder and both of them vanished.

In the house, in their different bedrooms, the Mayfair’s were thinking about the fire and the things that followed. Collin was uneasy, tossing and turning under the thick duvet, unable to close his eyes.

The thought of Ruth being a free woman, out and about made him unsettled. What if she tried to take advantage of him again?

He got out of bed, and dressed up slowly. While he was doing so, he called Shana and invited her out. He needed a distraction and the beautiful smile of his almost fiancee seemed like a good idea. Maybe he would even get lucky and not sleep alone tonight.

He just needed to feel safe somehow, as crazy as it seemed because he had only known Shana for a short time, she made him feel safe.

In the bedroom of Edward and Jennie, they were similarly awake and uneasy. They were laying in bed, eyes wide open, staring at the white ceiling.

“What are we going to do Edward? How are we going to protect our daughter? She has to deal with the Verdemonts and now this….why does this only happen to our daughter?” Jennie lamented.

Edward’s hand moved around slowly, searching for Jennie’s. When he found it, he held it firmly and squeezed it.

“Don’t worry Jennie, everything will be alright. When i looked at Phoebe, she did not look scared, in fact, she looked resolute. For a second there, i saw traces of my father in her, she is just like him. Whenever his mind was made up, nothing could convince him otherwise, especially in times of danger.”

Jennie drew in a long breath.

“I should have killed that bitch, instead of doing as Phoebe wanted and letting her handle things. I should have wrapped my hands around Ruth’s neck and squeezed the life out of her when we found her trying to commit that abomination.”

“You don’t have a murderous bone in you Jennie.” Edward sighed. “Maybe it’s a good thing that Elithera girl is here, it might make whoever the puppet master Phoebe mentioned think twice. Who in this country does not think twice before touching an Elithera or someone protected by one?

People have no qualms about attacking someone from a founding family but it’s different when it comes to an Elithera. After the recent blood bath in Magic city, people are even more frightened of them.”

Jennie snorted. “We can protect Phoebe as much….”

“No we can’t.” Edward cut in.

In some aspects, he was aware of the shortcomings of his Mayfair family and the strengths of the Elithera one. Much as he did not approve of some of their businesses and practices, they were better when it came to some things.

He turned his head and looked at his wife hoping to meet her eyes but Jennie was still looking up. “We are wealthy and we have a couple of bodyguards but we are not like the Saxons, surrounded by mercenaries everywhere. Ours is a small family with no complications or scheming relatives so our lives have been relatively peaceful.

We can hire mercenaries to guard Phoebe but we can’t just bring in anyone when we don’t know who the enemy is. We need to go with a source we can trust, like the Elithera’s or the Saxons. I can go to some of the best security firms in the country.”

“Ruth is insane, maybe we are all stressing over nothing. Just because someone got her out of the asylum does not mean they can cure her madness.” Jennie turned to her husband.

Her eyes met his that were already waiting.

“I am afraid it is not that simple, someone that blocked Phoebe’s worm has to be as powerful as she is, maybe more. Instead of looking for bodyguards with guns maybe we should look for supernatural ones.”

“Like ghosts?” Jennie asked.

“Maybe, i don’t know. My father was involved in the supernatural world, he did not talk about it much but i knew some things. I will reach out to some of his friends and see if i can find help.”

In Luke’s bedroom, he was thinking about the day as well, just the part where he met Luna. It was the first time in his life that someone knew about his secrets and he did not like it one bit.

He had to keep an eye on Luna Elithera, a very close one.

“Keep your enemies closer, right?” he mumbled.

He could not sleep, so he gave up on the attempt, dressed up and left the house as well. He would just sleep in his secret private lab at the Mayfair free clinic.
