Taken aback by the revelation, Noah shook his head vehently__denying the allegations against his wife strongly. "That is not possible, what you are saying is impossible. Everyone, do not listen to that lying bitch that has taken possession of my wife's body." He folded his hands into fists, wishing that he had courage to box the ghost out of Eliza's body.
Unfortunately, it was his wife's body and any beating he gave would only harm his wife. So...he turned to the shamans that appeared to have taken a break as there was no more screaming or chanting. "Why are you just standing here like statues? Expel that thing out of my wife's body now." He commanded like he was in charge or sothing.
For a man that had lost a lot of his vital spark, he seed to have suddenly regained it.
Maureen elbowed him sharply in the ribs. "Shut up Noah, you are not the boss of us, and you have no idea how this job is done. Shut up and let us work the way we are supposed to do." She ordered, returning her attention to the ghost. "Tell us what happened? Why do you hold such a grudge against Eliza and who was she to you." Her voice was smooth yet sharp around the edges.
Noah opened his mouth and closed it. As much as he hated this, he was powerless. He had no option but to cross his fingers and hope the ghost was lying. If his wife was truly a murderer, even if the ghost was expelled, how could he look at his wife the sa way ever again?
Folding the arms and pinning them to the chest, the ghost let out a loud snort, mocking Noah with its disdainful look. "Kalinda is the na, Eliza and I used to work at the sa company, the Lemos Star Inc. It has now ceased operations but back in the day it used to be one of the biggest entertainnt companies in the world.
Half of the big stars in this country, Silver nation and Eagle country ca from it. Eliza and I used to work there as talent search managers. We were competitors which was not unexpected given the field we worked in, but we were also friends. Work was great but the pay was not. The stars we discovered made more money than us and treated us like dirt when they climbed to the top.
She and I got tired of working for ungrateful bosses, that paid us pennies even though we were the ones that discovered the biggest talents in the company. So, I told Eliza that I had made a decision to leave the company and start my own. Surprisingly she said that she was leaving too as she had already got another job in a different company.
Hearing say that I wanted to start my own made her inspired and she begged to bring her on board. At the ti, I saw her as a friend, so I agreed. I brought her into my newly born TK entertainnt; that was a na that I had already created out of my initials.
She invested her savings and requested to be a shareholder. She was my only shareholder, and I was grateful for her trust and investnt. I wanted us to change the na to sothing else that we both chose but Eliza strongly disagreed saying that it would only take us steps back and the company needed to fly quickly like a rocket, so the na stayed." It paused; a faraway look ford in its eyes.
"Things were rough in the beginning, what we thought was going to be easy was the opposite. No established or upcoming singer, actor, or anything wanted to sign up with a rookie company that was the first obstacle. The second was that talented individuals beca hard to find, and we made do with diocre wannabes that were a waste of money, but we tried our best to push them.
But one day I found Susie Isles in the countryside when I was visiting my parents. She was a young girl singing to the pigs while giving them food. The mont I heard her raspy voice I knew that she was going to be a star, and I was lucky because she had no idea of the wonderful, phenonal gift she had.
I recorded her singing and sent it to Eliza, and she was as excited as . Both of us believed that we had found our ticket to greatness." Kalinda halted her words, her eyes pooling with hot tears.
Phoebe gestured at her to complete the story, she did not want to stay long for she had big plans for the night. "Go on, I still cannot find a reason as to why Eliza would want to kill you." She said with a sad voice.
"Ha-ha," Kalinda cackled like wood breaking apart under hot flas. "Neither did I at the ti. What I did not know back then was that Eliza had already made up her mind to eliminate and claim the glory of discovering Susie Isles and starting the company to herself.
She killed and threw my body in the Jatani river. She drained all of my money, claid my house and my poor son was thrown out. He died not long after as he was begging for scraps on the street, cold and starving." A lump grew in Kalinda's throat. "He was hit by a car after stealing a bun that soone had tossed to a dog. He was only nine years old, but he had to fend for himself because I was his only caretaker, and I was gone. He died thinking that I abandoned him, sothing which I could never do.
Eliza, she told him that. She cruelly laughed and told him that I did not want him anymore and I had run away with a new husband, and he was a burden I did not want to take along with ." Sorrow filled her voice, the tears that she fought hard to contain ca flooding out. "What kind of monster does that? He was just a child! She could have dropped him off at an orphanage at least but she just had her n throw him on the streets, at night."
Phoebe sniveled, wiping a tear away before it rolled down her cheek. "So that is what made you so furious, I am a mother too so believe I understand where you are coming from. Your anger is justified, and I cannot dismiss your hatred for Eliza but Kalinda you must think about your son!
What happened to him after? Did he move on? Or is he still harboring resentnt just like you are and roaming around?" She asked, believing that this was the only route to soften the ghost's heart.
