The confirmation shocked Phoebe more, it was truly astounding. Three n in one relationship!!! what were they thinking? Why involve an innocent woman in the ssy affair?
As for that Brandon, Linda was his blood sister, how could he betray her?
Phoebe stared at Linda's reflection, the ghost had a blank expression on its face. It was almost like these things had happened to soone else and not her.
The Saxon spirit was equally shocked, it found the affair immoral and distasteful. The n needed to be exposed for what they had done to poor Linda by ruining her life and leading to her death.
"Pause the story and please explain this well." Her ears twitched.
Linda sighed weakly. "Honestly if I hadn't caught them I never would have known but once i did the while picture beca clear. It made perfect sense because Brandon had refused to marry. My parents tried to set him up with countless girls but he rejected them all with one excuse or another. Those hypocrites didn't force him because father said he was a man and he didn't have a biological clock. Him frequenting the strip clubs was a cover up, besides those places have male strippers too so who knows what he was doing."
"Wow just wow! This is sick, so your brother kept quiet as you entered the lion's den? He's a psycho, most brothers protect their sisters jealously what the hell was wrong with yours?" The Saxon spirit wore a stolid expression.
Phoebe's narrowed eyes stared beyond Linda's reflection.
"You were used by them because of your reserved nature which made you easy to control. But, with all the love your grandfather has for you, why didn't he notice?"
Linda's eyes grew moist as her grandfather's face ca to her mind. He was not to bla, he didn't really know what was going on under his nose.
"Poppy was always busy back then since he was the head of the corporation. He traveled a lot besides, he has a fragile heart. I didn't want to send him to an early grave or risk Abel killing him. When he was around, I would co down with an illness which would keep immobilized and weak.
l think soone was intentionally making sick to keep from talking. Poppy would visit when he could but even then Abel and Brandon were always right there by my side, making sure i could not say anything. I didn't know that Brandon was in on it at the ti, i just thought that he was being a considerate brother that at least cared about my health. How wrong i was!"
"What happened after Brandon caught you?" Phoebe asked her.
Snickering in a scornful way, Linda narrated the minutes leading up to her death. "Brandon's hand made it's way to the back of my hair, i rember that he grabbed a handful of it and pulled on it as he dragged back in the maze. I scread as loud as I could but no one could hear . Brandon put another hand over my mouth to stop from screaming, that's when I took the opportunity and bit his hand so hard I could taste his blood in my mouth.
He winced and threw to the ground in front of Abel and Conrad then kicked countless tis as he called a bitch. Abel and Conrad joined in after he told them that i knew their secret. They laughed and Abel kissed Brandon, that's when i knew why he had dragged into the maze, he was one of them.
Conrad kicked so hard in the head that i beca really dizzy, my bones were broken and i had no energy to move. I lay on the grass while the three deliberated on what to do with . No matter what they said it only ca down to the fact that i wasn't allowed to get out of there alive.
Abel stomped on as he blad for ruining his plans. That's when Conrad decided to get rid of so that Abel would stay on as the virtuous husband whose unfaithful wife had run away with an unknown lover.
My voice was weak, i was cold and frightened so i used the last of my energy to grab onto Brandon's shoes and beg them to let go. I would leave the country, disappear for good and never return and also keep their secret.
They didn't believe and Brandon said there was no way they could let walk away alive after what I knew because I was going to expose them. Abel bent over , he wore an evil grin as he wrapped his hands around my neck, chocking until I breathed my last.
The next thing i knew, i was hovering over my own body as a ghost. I watched them bury in the center of the maze garden. I stayed around as a ghost for a while, hoping soone would notice but nobody did, they just believed the lies and cursed for embarrassing the family while consoling one of my killers. Only poppy stood up for so i visited his dreams, said goodbye and left. It was an odious journey but i was finally free so in the end, i was okay with death.
My body must still be there, those killers must have enjoyed themselves all these years."
Phoebe shook her head and dubbed away the tear at the edge of her left eye. "Of recent Abel began to receive text ssages from a Linda Verdemont black mailing him for money. They are from soone that knows about their relationship and possibly the secret of your death. Do you know anybody that could be behind it?"
A loud chuckle escaped Linda's lips. "Obviously i am dead so it's not . It can't be Brandon because he has money, and not Abel since he can't blackmail himself. It leaves just one person, Conrad. He is the son of one of the drivers. If anybody needs money, it's him."
Phoebe sighed and massaged the back of her slightly sore neck. She had all the answers she needed, it was ti to bid Linda farewell.
"I will make sure that your bones are found and reveal the truth. Your grandfather is going to be heart broken when he gets the news. He will probably bla himself because all this happened under his roof and you were betrayed by one of your own blood." Phoebe shook her head gently and sighed loudly.
In Linda's case, blood had not been thicker than water.
"Can't i see poppy one ....." Linda's voice trailed off as the spell wore off and she vanished.
"Wait...wait." Phoebe shouted.
She had not given Phoebe a clear spot for where the body was. It would be much easier to find if she had a map with an X marking the spot.
She was going to do the spell again when the Saxon spirit stopped her.
"You are low on energy to summon her again, we can try again tomorrow or later after you regain it."
Phoebe closed the notebook and looked at the spirit.
"About her last words before she went poof, i am certain that she wants to see her poppy one last ti. Can it happen?"
Phoebe asked because she didn't want to break any rules.
"You can if you are connected to an endless source of energy." The Saxon spirit's eyebrows danced playfully.
Phoebe smirked. "David
