Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 83

Chapter 83: Cutting ties….2

Her words were the equity of a sharp slap being delivered out of the blue to wake them up from their fantasy.

Aaron and Elizabeth looked at each other with worry. There was only one secret with which Phoebe could dare utter words like cutting them off. Elizabeth trembled and stumble backwards. She used one of the chairs to support herself.

Keeping the words of her husband in mind, now was the time to feign shock and play pretend.

“What..what secret?” she stammered.

Phoebe scoffed. “What else except for the one which you two discovered when i was thirteen years old. Let’s do this peacefully before i become really angry, let’s all just end things here and go our separate ways.”

Aaron gave up, he pointed at Phoebe as he caught his breath. “How is that possible? We are your parents so how can you cut us off?” He asked questions that remained unanswered. “We are family, there is no such thing as going our separate ways. That’s why we are all moving to Magic city as a family today. I will meet your landlord and tell him to cancel your lease for both the apartment and this shop.”

“Yes.” Elizabeth chimed in, finally feeling brave enough since her husband was not backing down.

This was a matter of life and death for their daughter so they intended to see to it that her wishes were fulfilled. Phoebe had to leave the city today and disappear with them. In fact, she had to leave Fog country all together.

Ruth knew someone on the island of Darma, millions of miles away from Fog country and that’s where they were going. You had to cross an ocean and a desert to get there. They were all confident that they would never be found in that place.

“The island of Darma…, hmmmm.” Phoebe mumbled and smiled mysteriously.

Elizabeth gasped and covered her mouth. Then she dropped her hand and asked.

“How?”

Aaron glared at his wife harshly. “Keep your mouth shut woman.”

It didn’t matter what Phoebe knew or how she knew, he was getting her out of the shop one way or another. He touched his pocket and got a little pocket knife out. He then handed the knife to his wife and looked at Phoebe smugly.

“If you don’t come with us right now, your mother will stab herself in the stomach and tell everyone you did it.” he threatened.

Elizabeth dropped the knife on the ground out of shock. Why was she the one that had to stab herself in order to force Phoebe to move couldn’t he do it?

“Pick up the knife and put it to your stomach woman. If she refuses to move, you know what to do. Push the knife in as deep as possible. ” Aaron shouted at her.

Phoebe and all three ghosts had never seen such shamelessness. Even Rosette who was recording the whole mess from behind the counter was stunned. Aaron Gabriel either hated his wife or loved himself a little too much.

“Honey…” Elizabeth called Aaron in a soft shocked voice. “This…..” she shook her head.

“Just do as i say.” Aaron barked at her.

Phoebe pointed at the man she used to call father and asked Elizabeth, “Are you sure you want to be married to this man? Why is he trying to kill you? So his life is precious while yours is not, what kind of crappy logic is he using to make judgements?”

“Shut up, you won’t divide us.” Aaron shouted at Phoebe. “Don’t listen to her, remember why we are doing this. It’s life and death Elizabeth.”

Like a brain washed sheep, Elizabeth nodded, agreeing with her husband. She put the knife to her stomach and stared at Phoebe with determination.

Phoebe rolled her eyes at the silly duo. “You guys are really trash. If you think that i will be caged by such a threat you don’t know the new Phoebe quite well. Ruth threatened me with her life and she is now in a hospital. What makes you think that your plan is better than hers.”

She searched her own pocket and brought out a knife which was much longer and bigger than the small pocket knife Elizabeth was holding.

“If i am going to be framed for stabbing anyone, i might as well do it for real. I am going to aim for vital organs so that you actually die since it’s a matter of life and death. Choose, who do i stab first and between the heart and neck, where do you want it?”

Elizabeth stepped back and put away the small knife. She was not prepared to die at Phoebe’s hands or stab herself with her own hands.

“You have become a lunatic.”

“Absolutely.” Phoebe agreed. “Let’s not waste time, you guys should just disappear from my life before you find yourselves seeking my help as ghosts. I already did a DNA test and i know that i am not related to both of you. I know where i come from, i just don’t know if you stole me from my parents. This could be a case of the cuckoo occupying another bird’s nest.

Anyway, if you two were involved in any baby swapping so that you could send your daughter to a wealthy family, i will see to it that you end up in prison for the rest of your lives.”

“It wasn’t us,” Elizabeth blurted out.

Phoebe’s mentioning of prison for the rest of her life frightened her much more than all of Aaron’s barking whenever he had a bad day.

“It was the hospital which made the mistake. We really didn’t know otherwise we wouldn’t have raised a child that wasn’t ours.” She went on to add.

She shook her husband who had been standing in a daze for a while.

“Tell her Aaron, explain that it wasn’t our doing or everyone will think we kidnapped her as an infant. I don’t want to go prison. What will happen to Nicky if i am not around to take care of him?”

Aaron was a sly man and he was very calculating as one as well. Since Phoebe had all the evidence, he couldn’t use family as an excuse to get her to go with them. She was also aware that she was the daughter of the Mayfairs and Ruth had said they were also aware of this fact.

He calculated all the possible outcomes of this situation he could think of. It was possible that Ruth would be sent away by the Mayfairs. Phoebe was definitely going to badmouth them to her real parents. At this point, it was better to get some benefits and let her go.

“If you want to cut us off, it won’t be as easy as you think. We raised you with so much affection and care since childhood. We are not rich, but we put a roof over your head and educated you. When you were sick and in a coma, your mother sold some of her jewelry to pay your hospital bills.

In a way, you owe us financially at least. That house we live in, I want to own it completely. Also deposit a sum of $10 million in my account. I know that you have that much money.”
