Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 446

Chapter 446: Repaying an old debt.
The words were uttered blindly, Phoebe had given a long hard think to what Rekha did, she was a ghost catcher or an exorcist. She re-arranged the thoughts in her mind and settled on one, exorcist.

While their paths crossed often, Phoebe herself was not in the exorcism business. She would choose ghosts any day over demons. Also, Rekha was a hard book to read, the first time they met she been overly familiar as if they were old friends and today, she was closed off like a stranger.

Then there was the part about her fate, Phoebe looked into the fates of everyone that she met as long as they were involved in the supernatural world. Some could not be seen; others were open books and Rekha was among those that could not be seen.

In a world where nothing was as it seemed, she did not like mysteries, she had enough of those on her plate.

A weary breath came from Rekha. “I reject your rejection of me. I already gave my word to Mr. Edward, and I cannot go back on it. He will be very disappointed in both of us if this does not work out, you especially because he was excited at the thought of doing something for you”

She put her hands down on the table and looked Phoebe in the eye adding to her words, “So do not be difficult and just let me be your teacher. I promise to be the best all things supernatural teacher that you will ever have.

I will pass down all of the knowledge I have and all my experiences from spiritual battles, ritualistic ones and the action-packed ones. You will be as good as any student of the academy within a year.”

A little snort that Phoebe was holding back escaped her nose. In her mind, she was already thinking that Rekha’s offer was not good enough. Phoebe did not want to be as good as any student, she wanted to be as good as the best guardian the academy had.

Rekha gazed at Phoebe, her expression taunt with unspoken frustration especially when Phoebe did not jump at the opportunity and even snorted a little derisively.

She attributed it to the fact that Phoebe was unaware of how many people would kill for the opportunity to learn from her.

“I am the best out there.” Rekha declared.

Suddenly, Phoebe giggled, thinking to herself that when it came to experience. aunt Maureen had more. Action-packed fights, Maureen had battled more__ in everything, Maureen came out on top of Rekha. Rekha’s ego was really big.

“What is funny?” She asked, raising her brows.

Phoebe gave a false cough, placing the glass of water back on the table after taking a sip. “You are the best, Rekha but I am not kidding here I have got a trainer already. You can go back to the academy because this will be a waste of your time and look at you, it doesn’t look like you are excited to become my teacher.” She curled her lips upwards, raising to her feet to leave.

Suddenly Rekha’s tone softened. “Pheebs please…..I cannot…I cannot disappoint your father more than I already have. Our relationship will be ruined if I can’t do him this favor. I was hoping that by training you he will stop looking at me with cold eyes at least.” Rekha’s voice was smooth yet there was a trace of a plea in it.

Relationship!!! Phoebe sat back down. “Rekha how exactly do you know my father? If you tell me why you are so desperate to please him then perhaps I will add you to my list of trainers.” Her tone echoed with sincerity that urged Rekha to open up. “Quick warning, if you are his mistress I will send you to purgatory faster than you think.”

Rekha lifted her head to look at Phoebe, locking her gaze. “Firstly eww, your dad is hot but he is like my father’s age so why would I date him? Secondly, are serious about this having a trainer thing? I thought it was a ruse to get me to go away.

Who is it? No one can be better than a guardian and I am a junior guardian, the best in my generation. If you have someone better, it has to be one of the seniors, their identities are not known, not even to us. Who is it?” Her eyes narrowed, as though she could find the answers in Phoebe’s eyes.

Twisting her lips in a playful way, Phoebe only shook her head. “I have no idea what you are talking about, all I know is that my trainer is the best. Now, answer my questions first Rekha, you and my father what is going on between the two of you.” She probed.

Heavy breath escaped from Rekha’s lips, leaning her back in the chair back rest. The look on her face was solemn and her eyes downcast. Her demeanor was like that of someone that was about to share terrible news. ” Mr. Edward, your father is the closest person I have to a parent.” A shade of darkness clouded her eyes. “A long time ago my family was involved in an accident. I was the only survivor, the rest of them died.” She bit back breath.

Phoebe’s trembling hand moved to cover her lips. “Oh God Rekha, I am so sorry.” She knitted her brows.

With a little wave, Rekha dismissed Phoebe’s hasty but sincere apology and sympathy. She was not looking to be pitied. “It happened a long time ago, I barely recall anything thanks to Mr. Edward who watched out for me and had those painful memories blocked because I was having nightmares.

Anyway, my extended family did not want me, they labeled me a cursed child who had killed their son, my father. They hated me for surviving and always told me that I should have died too. My grandmother did not just blame me, she blamed my dead mother too. She had not been the perfect chosen wife for my father. My parents married against the wishes of my father’s family.

Mr. Edward stepped up, he bought me a house, hired the best nannies and caretakers who became my new family. He took me to the best schools, always attended parent-teacher meetings and planned for me to work in Mayfair Corp.

I disappointed him by making an alternative choice. I joined the Moldove founding academy against his wishes and things between us changed. He just stopped checking up on me, became cold and cut me off completely. He turned into a stranger, and it killed me Pheebs.

I thought he would acknowledge me again until recently when he approached me and asked me to equip you with better fighting skills. I was so happy because I finally get to pay the debt that I owe him. I can get rid of this guilt and maybe we can both return to that uncle-niece relationship that we had. I ruined it, I always felt like I betrayed him more than I could ever understand.” She curled her lips upwards. “I just want to make things right.”
