Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 47

Chapter 47: A reason for murder____2

The Saxon spirit did not even argue with Phoebe and she sent a very loudly resistant Connie into the pendant. She had no plans of following the girl because she also wanted to know what followed. What had Susie done to Blake Don that prompted him to kill her? From the way he was talking, it also looked like he loathed the woman so why had he involved himself in a relationship with her?

Phoebe un paused the video and Blake’s confession became even more disturbing.

“She took off her shoes, her manager poured wine on them and then she told me to lick her toes. As if that was not enough, she made me bend and bark like a dog.” He screamed.

He waved his hand and swiped the pictures of Susie in front of him, sending them to the floor.

“You must have hated her so much for humiliating you like that in front of those people.” Detective Shark suggested.

“I did.” Blake admitted.

“So how did you go from that situation to becoming her boyfriend of many years?” Shark asked.

Blake placed both of his hands on the table and held his head between his hands. Even Phoebe could see the shame in his eyes before he revealed the answer.

“She bought me.”

The two detectives shared a look of surprise and then they looked back at Blake.

“She bought you. Were you selling yourself?” Shark asked curiously.

“No.” Blake shook his head. “She made me an offer, two million every month and all i had to do was be her man. She promised that she would take care of everything in the world that i need and all i had to do was cater to her needs all day. It wasn’t just sex, i had to cook her food, wash her clothes, clean her house, give her baths.”

“It sounds like you sold yourself.” Detective Johns suggested. “Even if she made you an offer like that, you could have turned her down.”

Blake banged his fist on the table suddenly. “Nobody said no to Susie or you were finished. That’s something everyone related to the entertainment industry knows. Over the years, she sabotaged so many other singers in order to get ahead. She used the power of her fanbase to ruin the lives of those that spoke up against her or displeased her in any way.

Investigate and find out for yourselves how many women she got fired from different boutiques. The bakeries that were closed because she got a fake allergy after eating something from there. How many brands lost a large number of customers because they didn’t pick her as an endorser.

Susie Isles was the kind of woman to destroy anything she couldn’t have. Ask the people that used to work for her or with her and they will all tell you that she used to say if she cannot have something nobody could.”

“So you gave in because you were afraid she would ruin you. It must also be why you killed her.” Detective Johns said definitively.

Blake raised her head and chuckled. “No detective, i gave in because of two million. I was a man with nothing so what was there for her to ruin? I killed her because she sold me a dream and suddenly decided to take it back on a whim.

Three years into living together, i decided to end the relationship and start my life anew elsewhere. She suddenly confessed her love for me, begged me to stay and said that she wanted to change the status of our relationship. She promised me that we would live together happily forever and she would retire at thirty and we could start a family because she knew how important that was to me. I believed her and went from being her boy toy to her boyfriend.”

Phoebe saw Blake wipe away tears from his eyes suddenly and his voice even softened.

“For a while, we were happy but i should have known better than to trust her words. As soon as that bitch turned thirty, she started selling off her assets secretly. I found out and confronted her so she came clean and admitted that she wanted to start over indeed, but not in the way we had talked about.

She was starting over as a solo artiste in a new country. We fought about the issue for months and one day she said she would have a rethink. The next day, she announced on all her social media pages that she was about to begin a new chapter of her life as a solo musician and she wanted her fans to encourage and support her.

Once more, i confronted her and she said bluntly that she had no plans to sacrifice a lucrative career for something of no benefit like marriage and childbearing.

That even if she decided to get married or have children right away, it would not be to a former bar host like me that cannot help her career. She would only marry a man that would elevate her further in society, like a Saxon.”

David started coughing suddenly and Phoebe glanced at him briefly.

Blake’s confession was not paused so she looked at her phone.

“You should have seen the look on her face when she told me that she picked me up in a bar and suggested that maybe i should go back to my former job as a host if i didn’t want to support her dreams.”

He laughed, broken little sad laughs. “She was so shameless to call it freedom after saying such ugly words to me, that she was returning my freedom to me because she loved me. What kind of love is that?”

Phoebe sighed and stopped playing the video. She didn’t need to hear the rest to know why Blake Don had killed Susie. The answer was simple, Susie was a bitch. She said and did as she pleased, making enemies everywhere and her own actions had led to her untimely death.

She felt the need to discuss the content of the video with the only other human being in the car so she turned her head and looked at David. Not surprising, he was looking at her too.

“What do you think, is this a tragedy that could have been avoided? I don’t know if i should pity Susie for being murdered or Blake for…”

She sighed and left it at that for she didn’t know why she had to pity Blake. Was it for his sad life or for meeting Susie?

“If you don’t know who to pity then pity the dead. Susie Isles sounds like she was a very horrible person but killing her was not necessary.

That man could have ended the relationship and walked away from her at anytime but he didn’t. She had not chained him to a bed or chair and unless he is an invalid, he could have walked out of the house and start over.

I noticed a tremor in his voice when he talked about her selling off her assets to fund her solo career. He seemed to be more angry about that than anything else. In my opinion, he was just greedy for the good life that she could give him and when she made a move to take it away, he killed her.”
