Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 30

Chapter 30: Who is Phoebe?

When Phoebe woke up the next morning, she sat up, folded her legs and buried her head in her thighs. She was still puzzled and in shock over the results of the bloodline spell. Over the years she had suspected something like this but it being actually true hurt like hell.

Her night had been restless, she had twisted and turned. Tears had not stopped pouring from her eyes for majority of the night. For her, it was if the whole world had suddenly turned gray.

Minutes passed and she remained like that, in a near catatonic state. All she was doing was thinking of everything she had experienced with her family, especially the day Ruth Mayfair stepped into her house. That was the moment when everything changed.

Had the Gabriel’s always known that she wasn’t their daughter? Was this why her mother used to dye her hair blonde?

“She has refused to eat anything.” Connie told the Saxon spirit as she pointed at the wooden tray which had a cup of coffee,, two slices of toast and two boiled eggs sited on it.

“No one would have an appetite after finding out that the people you call family are practically strangers. Just take the tray away and give her some space.” The Saxon spirit frowned slightly and sighed heavily.

However it’s last remarks didn’t settle well with the teenage ghost which sneered.

“Keep that advise for yourself, you have been hovering over Phoebe all this time and am the one that should give her space.” Connie smacked her lips and vanished with the tray.

Unbothered by Connie’s Sassy attitude, the Saxon spirit continued to stare at Phoebe sympathetically. She had barely said a word since last night.

“You need answers child. Snap out of this pity party and get to work.” the spirit told Phoebe.

She reached for her phone and made an appointment to meet with Detective Shark. The two of them had a deal and if she wanted to know how she had ended up with the Gabriel’s then she had to quickly full fill her end of the bargain.

When she hung up the call, a thought crossed her mind. What if Ruth was actually a Gabriel? She had suspected it all along what if….just what if she was their real daughter? Their love for her was too real for her not to be.

“It’s a possibility, I mean the way they protected and shielded her last night. It wouldn’t make sense if she wasn’t.” Said the Saxon spirit after reading her thoughts.

Phoebe’s face lit up. “I can do the bloodline spell, sermon the paper men and send them to bring Ruth’s blood. That’s the easiest way to know.”

Shaking it’s head, the Saxon spirit hated to burst her bubble. “The papermen have a one time use and then they burn away. I used up a lot of energy creating them yesterday. I don’t have enough in me to create more for now. Besides, we also poured out the blood of those horrible people last night. We have to do it another time, when the energy is enough.”

As her shoulders fell because she was disappointed, Phoebe walked to the bathroom because she was to meet detective Shark in about thirty minutes.

The mood was gloomy at the Mayfair residence which was one of the most beautiful luxurious mansions in the city. Them being one of the first families of in Citrus city, the Mayfairs had vast properties all around fog country.

The family comprised of three boys, Collin who was the first son and vice president of Mayfair corporations, Andre who was a famous and successful actor and Luke who was a doctor.

Ruth was the last born and princess of the family, she was spoilt by her parents and pampered by her brothers who loved her a lot.

All the Mayfairs sat around the vast oval shaped dining table that was made of marble, waiting for breakfast to be served however none of them seemed to be in the mood to eat anything.

The reason for the foul mood was because the baby of the house had been assaulted the previous night. When Ruth went home after she left the Gabriel house, her mother who was coming from the elevator had let out a shrill on seeing the condition in which her daughter was in.

“My baby girl! What the hell happened to you? Who did this to you? Tell me and I’ll kill them this minute, just say the name.” Jennie Mayfair cuddled her crying daughter.

Her voice was so loud that it attracted the rest of the members of her family. They all demanded for Ruth to tell them what had happened.

After she calmed down, Ruth began narrating a story that she had rehearsed over and over while driving home.

“My friend Phoebe attacked me because i gave her some advise not to seduce David. Look at my neck mom, see my expensive clothes.” She leaned backwards such that they could have a clearer view of her injuries.

Luke quickly fetched the first aid kit and began to attend to her injuries, the braveness on his face was enough for one to know that he was angry and so were the rest of her brothers.

“Friend? Did you call her a friend? How can someone you call a friend do this to you when you were simply advising her for her sake? You should get other friends dear, this Phoebe or whatever her name is, isn’t your friend.” Anthony Mayfair, her father stated.

Because she didn’t want them discussing the matter any further, or pry into Phoebe, Ruth had excused her self claiming to be in pain.

However the family wasn’t done talking about it because today at breakfast, it’s all they could talk about.

“Who is this Phoebe anyway? It’s odd that you have talked about her for years but none of us has ever set eyes on her?” Andre pointed out.

“Well that ends today because she has to tell me why she did that to you. No one bullies my sister and goes away scot free.” Collin clenched his hands into a fist.

Ruth who was already nervous, interrupted and told her family to let things be because Phoebe had apologized to her. “We already sorted out our differences, you don’t need to get involved. And about meeting her, you will at the right time.”

Never, she thought.

“Are you sure dear?” Asked Grandma Mayfair, she loved her grand daughter more than anything.

Nodding her head, Ruth asked them all not to worry.

Not everyone from the Mayfair household let the issue go, when Collin got to his office, he called for his personal assistant.

“Yes sir?” She asked respectfully.

“Have you found anything about the person I told you to search about earlier?” Collin quizzically looked at her.

“The black ghost Cafe, she’s the owner of the place. You can check it’s socials.” The assistant excused herself.

Collin switched on his computer and searched for the place. He already found the name odd, he snickered when he read about the services offered by the Cafe.

“How is my sister involved with this little trickster?” Collin mumbled as he wrote down the address.
