Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 280

Chapter 280: The deepest grudge.

“I didn’t, i really don’t have anything to do with her.” Mr. Guzman insisted again.

This was because none of the women looked like they believed in. Mr. Guzman groaned, and the baby fussed so Eliza gave him all of her attention briefly.

Mackie continued talking because the truth telling talisman was still active.

“I met him at the Sunflower ball at the old Grata gardens. I did not have many friends and none of the young men was eager to dance with me. I am not even ugly but they just wanted Liz, not her uglier photocopy.

I went to the bathroom and hid in there for two hours, waiting for the ball to enter its last thirty minutes and i could finally show my face.

When it was time, i made my way out of the bathroom quickly and happened to bump into him. I thought that i would go crashing to the ground but he caught me.” Mackie’s voice softened. “I looked up at him and found myself drowning in the most beautiful brown eyes i have ever seen.

I will never forget how he smiled at me and apologized for bumping into me. He took my hand and escorted me back to the gardens.

I thought that would be the end of it but the last song was playing and he asked me to dance. He was not like the others, he was kind and nice. When we danced under that soft glow of the moon, i knew it was love immediately.”

Mr. Guzman choked on his breath and he started coughing, beating a hand on his chest.

“Shhh!” Connie hushed him.

The story was just getting good, the girl did not want to miss a single word.

“I don’t remember this..” Mr. Guzman mumbled.

“Shh!” Connie complained again, glaring this time.

Mr. Guzman could not see Connie but he could hear the shushing. He detected the irritation in the tone of the invisible ghost so he sealed his lips.

“He even escorted me to the drinks table and got me a lemonade.” Mackie smiled. “We talked about the yellow carnations which had been used to decorate the gardens. He said it was ironic how flowers that symbolize rejection, sorrow, disappointment and apologies had been used as part of the theme.

I told him that sunflowers were out of style, even though it was the Sunflower ball, they were not using sunflowers anymore.”

Mackie tilted her head. “There were a few sunflowers mixed in the carnations, he picked one up and gave it to me. He told me that they symbolized admiration, loyalty, positivity and nourishing. He said every beautiful lady deserved one sunflower a day.”

Eliza turned her head and she glared at her husband. That particular line about one sunflower a day was very familiar. Her husband also gifted her one sunflower each day, when they were out of season, he would give her a dried one.

“I don’t remember this!!” Mr. Guzman groaned.

Mackie’s smile dimmed. “That’s when my parents showed up, it was time to go home. They met him and introduced themselves, they were so excited to meet the next Guzman family heir.

On the way home, they talked about bringing our families closer and mother proposed marriage.

My heart almost flew out of my chest, i was so excited.

For a month mother met up with mama Guzman and courted her. The Guzman’s finally came over to our house for dinner, i heard whispers that it was because our two families were preparing for an engagement.

Obviously, it was my engagement, i was the one that had met the Guzman heir.

I was the one that danced with him, I laughed with him. We both liked sunflowers and we found founding society balls ridiculous.

I was so giddy at the aspect of becoming his wife. I put on my best dress and went downstairs for dinner. But, when i got there, i saw a most horrific sight”

Mackie pointed at Eliza. “You, Eliza, you homewrecker had somehow returned early from college and you were sitting next to my man. You were smiling at him, batting your seductive lashes and charming him. He is a fool like all those other men that chased you because he was eating it up.

All through dinner, he did not look my way and aside from the briefest head nod of acknowledgement when i greeted him, he did not attempt to communicate with me.

The next day, an announcement was made, a match between the two families had been confirmed and you my sister were to be the bride.”

She laughed, the laughter high pitched and shrill__, a cackle that was sharp and made Mackie look insane.

“You stole him from me and married him, the Guzman heir and I…” She pointed to herself, “I married an ordinary no name doctor from a family of commoners because none of the sons of the founding families wanted me, not even the useless ones.

And then it became worse, even though i married two years after you, we both somehow got pregnant at the same time. The universe was not done with torturing me because i lost my child, the doctors said i had a medical condition. I could not carry a child in my womb to the end, they even suggested that i get a hysterectomy.

My poor baby was taken from me and

while i was still wallowing in misery two months later, you were glowing. You threw a big baby shower and got all those great expensive gifts.

I will never forget how you put your hands around my shoulder Eliza and you whispered, “It’s okay, i have a feeling that your baby is watching over mine. You can consider my child yours, we are sisters after all, what’s mine is yours.”

Mackie snorted and laughed wildly.

“You were clearly mocking me. You went on to cut your big cake and kiss your husband then continued to live your happy lives while I lived in darkness alone. That’s when i realized that you Eliza, were my nemesis. Everything in my life that had gone wrong was because of you.

My misery always leads back to you so i made my mind up to ruin you. I had to do something that would torment you forever while tarnishing your image in society. People needed to point and whisper because finally, you had failed at something.

All those suitors you once had needed to feel lucky because they did not marry you. Your husband needed to regret his choice in taking you as his wife.

I got pregnant again the next month later and i started looking for a way to save my child. Lindsay Vulcan recommend a warlock in Magic city. I flew all the way there and he told me about magical surrogacy.

He asked me if i had any close female relatives that were pregnant and naturally, my mind went to you.

He used our dates of birth and predicted dates of birth for your children to swap the fates of our children. Then he gave me a talisman and also some snake blood that i fed to you in a strawberry drink.

I waited for three months while playing the role of a good sister. Finally it happened, you had your first child and he died, but mine lived. After that, all your other children provided life for mine.”

Unsettling laughter fell through her lips. It echoed through the silence in the room, provoking the couple that was teetering on the edge of control.

“How do you like it Liz? What’s yours really became mine. I technically have three Guzman heirs that you nurtured for me. They may not be your husband’s children biologically but spiritually, they are his. I guess in the end, i got a piece of him too.”
