Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 96

Chapter 96: A long sleepless night.

After taking a bath, Phoebe remembered the one important thing she had been meaning to do all day but kept putting off to deal with her personal affairs.

It was the Mason’s murder business which she was not planning on letting go of so easily. Just because Mason had forgiven Turner and his wife did not mean she had done the same.

She found her phone and called Shark before sleep set in and she further forgot about it. As always, when he answered, it was with a smart opener.

“The mighty Shark speaking, it’s ten thirty in the night, this is a first for you Phoebe, is there a ghost emergency?”

“I need a favor.” Phoebe answered with an eye roll.

She didn’t need to be present in the police station to see Shark licking his lips as if he was about to feast. The more favors she owed him, the better.

“But of course, anything for you Phoebe.”

Phoebe sighed. “I am going to tell you a story but i don’t want you to overreact and arrest anyone. You just need to keep an eye on them just in case they try to pull anything. Can you promise me that?”

Shark got a paper and pen. “Go on, i can’t make any promises but i will not move without giving you a heads up.”

Phoebe sighed again, a very regret filled sigh as she anticipated trouble before opening her mouth. But, a strong part of her was a little uneasy about Mason’s matter. She narrated the story to Shark and again, cautioned him not to do anything.

After they hung up, Shark looked at his partner Johns who was scarfing down a cheese burger.

“Hey Johns, when have you ever known someone that killed for insurance to stop at one victim or leave a witness?”

With a mouth full of food which disgusted Shark, Johns shook his head.

“Never.”

“Close your mouth.” Shark tossed a stale crispy doughnut at his partner.

He left his desk and found a young rookie officer that he handed a small camera and wiretapping device with instructions for those objects to be hidden inside Mason’s mother’s hospital room.

As for Phoebe, shortly after getting off the phone with Shark, she entered bed and closed her eyes but one long hour passed by and she was still awake.

Maybe it was the events of the day or because it was her first night in a new environment but Phoebe failed to sleep no matter how hard she tried. She felt a mixture of emotions because she didn’t expect her family to be so open minded towards her.

Phoebe believed without a doubt that Ruth had made it her life’s mission to paint her as a bad person and she thought that most if not all the Mayfairs didn’t like her. But things had gone pretty well, all that was left was to see Ruth shed tears of blood as she took everything from her including the love from the family.

She was also still in disbelief because she was actually in the Mayfair house after so many years of being kept at bay by Ruth. The thoughts that she was such a fool whose eyes had been covered with mud continued lurking in her mind. How did she never realize that the Gabriels and Ruth were related?

Why didn’t see ever question Ruth’s reason for keeping her away from the Mayfairs? That witch had always known the truth. That time when she threatened to kill her mother if she didn’t jump off a building, which mother was she referring to? Was it Jennie?

So Elizabeth must have been acting as a hostage in order to make her believe Ruth and do as she demanded on that day.

Phoebe turned and sighed. It was okay, there was a chance to turn the tables on Ruth now. She would take the love of the Mayfairs away from her, one by one.

As for Collin she planned to remove the blindfold on his eyes, slowly but surely he would get to know the true characters of his beloved Ruth but she wasn’t in any rush though. If she rushed, she would carelessly crush.

After another hour of mixed thoughts and no sleep, she gave up. The ghosts had vanished into the magic space after bidding her goodnight so Phoebe decided to join them. Since they had started planting the herbs she hadn’t been to the Magic space because she had been too busy.

On entering the space, she was shocked by what she saw. The place had changed unexpectedly, it was bigger and the air clearer. Also, a lake with sparkling water had appeared at the bottom of the mountain. All of these changes were attributed to ghost energy, a lot of it. Phoebe couldn’t remember doing anything that caused a massive shift in the energy for the lake to appear.

“When did that appear here?” She asked a random question as she walked closer to it. The ghosts that were resting beside the lake remained quiet and looked at one another.

The Saxon spirit gestured at them not to say a word for now. As for her intentions, they couldn’t begin to guess.

“What in the world happened ancestor Saxon? You said if I remember correctly that I need a lot of energy for this lake to appear and I haven’t helped any ghosts apart from Mason so…..” Her words trailed off and she recalled their suspicious behavior. “When I was at the Laguna palm beach…I drunk too much and I don’t remember what happened, is it related to this? Connie? Sylvester?” Phoebe called them but they looked everywhere but at her.

The Saxon spirit chortled. “It’s better that you find out for yourself my dear, let’s go inside the wooden cabin and see what other new things are available.”

Once inside the cabin, the spirit pointed at a small box that was seated on one of the shelves. “Open it.” The spirit instructed.

Phoebe took out that particular box and did as ordered. Inside was a an old strapless gold watch with a pendant chain at its top. She had not seen it before mostly because she hadn’t had the time to check out everything that was in the cabin.

“What’s this?” Phoebe’s eyes roamed around it.

“That is a time keeper’s pocket watch, it can take you back in time for five minutes but only once per day. Use it and go back to any particular day, you will then see what happened. All you have to do is look at the ticking hand and think of that memory or place…..” The Saxon spirit stopped talking when Phoebe disappeared.

In less than five minutes she was back, one hand tugged on her front hair and the other held the time keeper’s watch by the chain. She looked at her three partners with a devilish grin on her face.

“Why the hell didn’t any of you tell me that I kissed him? How could I forget that? This is a nightmare, a horrible nightmare.” Phoebe was in a mixture of shock and surprise.

No wonder David asked if she was avoiding him, how was she supposed to face him. Literally she sort of harassed him, even though he had been a very willing participant.

“Bloody shit! How do i face him from now on? I was walking around all high and mighty and i have brought myself down a peg.” Phoebe spoke through pursed lips.

Connie stretched her hand to distract Phoebe. “Whatever you do, don’t hurt his feelings! Aren’t you happy about the water lake? We used it’s water to water the plants and see how fast they have grown. This ginseng is equivalent to that of thirty years already give it a few days and it’ll be equivalent to that of a hundred or two hundred years. This is money Pheebs, I say give him more kisses….” she bit her lip because Phoebe’s frown grew deeper.
