Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 479

Chapter 479: Help of a demon.
The admission stunned them all, they were certain that if the Diggens family had lost a daughter, there would have been a funeral. Forget the funeral, there would have been announcement even if other families were not invited to the funeral.

It left them wondering if the ghost was lying or the Diggens were hiding something. With some doubts still lingering around, Maureen had a thought. “You would not by any chance be the one that is in a coma, right?”

In response it laughed menacingly. “Oh dear, I am afraid that coma period came to an end long ago. I died about five years ago; those shameless people buried me like a stray cat. No coffin or send off party, they just wrapped me in a bed sheet and tossed me in a cold dark hole as if I never mattered.” There was resentment in its tone.

The people in the room exchanged confused looks, why would the Diggens do something like that? They could afford to hold a respectful funeral for their daughter. Even a cheap one would be better than what they had done.

It made them wonder if the ghost had remained behind because it was resentful and wanted a new funeral–a proper one.

“Why did they bury you like that?” Phoebe asked.

The ghost shrugged. “I don’t know, they did what they wanted to. From what I figured, I had become a burden, and many were relieved after I died. I guess someone figured that the two million being spent every year on nurses, caretakers, medicines and medical equipment would be better spent elsewhere.”

Money and selfishness, now that was something everyone in the room could understand.

“So why haunt George? From what you just said you should be haunting your family not him.” Ken curiously asked.

The ghost lifted its bound arms and pointed at George. “It is the Osbourne’s fault that I ended up being thrown in a hole like an unwanted dead rat. After I got into the accident, the Osbourne’s went back on their word and retracted the betrothal. They claimed that the marriage was a joke, child’s play for amusement.

They did not want me anymore, so they tossed me aside. My family values girls because we are used for financial deals. When the Osbourne’s retracted the betrothal and denied the marriage, I lost any value to my family. I was seen as useless, a body sucking money away without contributing anything to the family.

If the Osbourne’s had not done that my family would not have seen me as a burden or buried me like that. So, I decided to stick with their son for eternity. He is my husband, we belong together, he should have taken care of me in life, so death made no difference.” It confessed, its voice carrying a hit of pride.

Rekha lashed out at nothing, her boot meeting empty space. “This is one messed up story, so many guilty parties. First of all, a child marriage has got to be illegal even if it’s between two children. Two, if they wanted to pull the plug, they should have done so to relieve the suffering of the sick person, not because someone wanted an extra two million in pocket money.”

“What was done was wrong! Very wrong see how George’s life became messed up by the greed of his family…. both families. I have to confront both of them and give them a piece of my mind.” Grandpa Lee spoke in a frustrated tone. “I should also talk to the founding council president about this marriage between children bit, it should be ended if it’s their tradition.”

George stepped forward, putting his fear for ghosts aside. “Listen miss ghost, I am sorry for what happened to you, but I am a victim too. I had no idea about any of this so please leave me alone. Go and punish your family for what they did and not me.” His face flushed with exasperation.

Looking at him with a glint of adoration, the ghost only smiled at him. “Husband my name is not Miss ghost but Levi, do you not remember? ” It batted its eyelashes seductively.

George was not seduced; he was freaked out all the more and he panicked. There was no way he was spending eternity, dead or alive with it. “I am not your husband!” he exploded in anger and turned his eyes to Phoebe. “Phoebe do something sever the marriage ties please.” George’s eyes grew moist.

Minka peeked from behind her father Ken’s back where she was hiding. “Father, I want a divorce, I cannot stay with him. The Osbourne family is too ruthless, if someday I end up in an accident or bedridden due to illness, I might be abandoned as well. That family is really cruel, they are heartless, I cannot put up with them anymore.” She whispered to him.

The temperature in the room began to plummet as the ghost became angry. It’s eyes glowed burning like two smoldering coals. “Husband how can you suggest that our marriage ties be severed? Is it because of that slut, I will end her life right now so that we can finally be together as we were meant to be.” Its tone was from out of this world, it came with multiple voices speaking at the same time.

It was if it received a surge of energy from somewhere, becoming powerful enough to untangle the vines and cause the house to shake. Phoebe pulled out her gun and shot it in the chest without hesitation. She had been around enough ghosts to know that this one was the kind that would not be moving one. Red eyes plus multiple voices equaled evil.

It fell back, weakened as it moved in jagged bursts.

Those that did not know that a ghost could be shot stared in surprise, searching for the gun which was already hidden in the space.

“It will vanish soon.” Phoebe announced.

Grandpa Lee took a step forward and squatted near it. “How did you move past the protective shield? Tell me.” His question was met by total silence.

He took a two kilo grams bag of salt and poured it over Levi’s would. The ghost let out a screeching cry, it was like that of a bird whose feathers were pulled out.

“A demon helped me.” It confessed quickly. “A high-level demon created a void through the shield.”

Everyone traded gazes upon hearing the confession. Demons were helping ghosts now!! What in the evil alliance was going on?

“Which one?” Phoebe asked.

On opening its mouth to respond, greenish matter in form of blood came oozing out of its mouth. Aileen struggled to say which of the demons, but she faded to oblivion.

“Was that the effect of the bullet?” Phoebe asked.

Maureen shook her head. “I doubt that it has never happened before.”

Grandpa Lee sighed deeply. “I have; those demons cast spells on the souls of their victims. Humans or non-human, if they try to reveal their identity they perish. If we had known this, we could have prevented it before hand.” He informed them.

The frown on his face was really deep, he was thinking about calling for an emergency meeting of all the elders of the Moldove academy. Bad things were beginning to rise out of the abyss.
