Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband

There was nothing she could do about him, so she turned to everyone else, planning to make a quick exit with David but Collin stopped them, he had a different look on his face, like a cat that had chanced upon a saucer of milk.

Phoebe took a step back and hid behind David, "He looks like he is going to eat us." she whispered

David could not have agreed more, Collin was like a man looking at a tasty morsel of food and it was unsettling.

This was because from the moment Collin heard that his sister and David owned DP holdings, the long elusive answer he had been looking for was answered. He never thought the mysterious big shot that everyone was hunting for was under his very own roof.

There were countless thoughts running through Collin’s mind at the moment, covering up the dark topic which had been the subject of conversation a while back. A very big smile lay upon his lips for he just couldn’t control his excitement.

"Okay, is he going to fight me or hug me?" David asked Phoebe.

She shrugged, how could she know the answer, he had gone from being surrounded by darkness to glowing light in a heartbeat.

"You two, why didn’t you tell us about that you owned DP holdings? How did you even do it?" Collin asked back-to-back, looking from Phoebe to David.

"Luck i guess." David remarked jokingly, no one would ever believe that within two years he had built a company from scratch, and it had grown to become one of the strongest companies in Fog country.

Many people thought DP holdings had connections in different government agencies which was how the company had managed to grow rapidly. In a way, it was true that they had inside information, it was just inside David’s mind.

Collin chuckled decisively. "Ha luck! that is not possible, I am not a kid that will follow you because you have offered me cheap candy." He raised his hands in surrender. "Alright, you don’t not need to reveal such valuable information, I understand the need for secrecy however sweet Pheebs this is not fair.

Why don’t you assist Mayfair corporations that same way that you do for DP holdings? It will be nice having another sibling that is interested in the company for once." His eyes stared at her with newfound respect.

"Wow, you are really good at hiding secrets, little sis, from now on I am bringing all my movie projects to you for investment. My money God, make me as independently wealthy as you are." Andre put his hands together and bowed while laughing lightly.

He was still angry about Dickson, but he could see that Phoebe was happier when they were not talking about that creep.

Phoebe waved her hand dismissively. "Brothers, you have everything mixed up, I don’t do anything for D.P holdings. On my birthday, David here gave me half of the shares in his company which is why it is our company." She jutted her chin upwards.

"What?" Came a collective question from the ladies that were listening in on the conversation.

Aunt Maureen staggered a little like a drunkard as she approached them. She put a hand in Phoebe’s shoulder and looked into her eyes.

"Baby, you mean that this man who is not even your husband gave you half of his booming company, why? And do not say love because I will not believe it."

[Well, we were married in our past life, technically I was his wife, or I am his wife. Does it even count anymore? Whatever, we are together again anyway.]

There was silence and confusion again, which were the common reactions to seeing her thoughts.

David slipped his fingers through Phoebe’s hand and held it with confidence and a smile.

"I may not be Phoebe’s husband yet, but she is my life partner, these shares are not even half of what she is worth. I am willing to give her the whole world if she asks for it." David’s tone was laced with certainty.

This time, he was the one that surprised everyone with his bold statement. How many men would give up half of a company worth a few billion to a woman they were not even married to?

"Bro, have you heard of a prenup?" Andre asked.

Collin punched Andre’s shoulder, and he winced.

"Ohhh." Jennie let out a small dramatic cry. "I thank the heavens that my daughter found a man that is worthy of her, they have compensated her for the pain she suffered. David my son, I appreciate everything that you do for our Pheebs." She sniveled.

"Son!!!" Andre and Collin exclaimed.

It was official, their mother was one hundred percent team David.

Grandma Mayfair clapped once. "See i have an eye for these things, I always told you that David was a good match for Phoebe, now see how he is loving on her by the way if you must know he keeps buying her lavish gifts like diamonds, luxury jewelry, a yacht, perfumes and many more. I have even heard something about a private plane." There was a tinge of pride in her voice. "Show me a better addition to the family." She flipped her hair back.

It almost seemed as if those things had been bought for her and not Phoebe.

Collin sank into the chair, he would do anything for Shanna, but David was not someone to contend with, he was over the top. "I have nothing to say, David today you officially become my only recognized brother in-law. Yachts, a company and a plane!! damn, he is one lovesick puppy." He sighed theatrically eliciting laughter from the group.

David was beaming with pride and smiling, if he had known that revealing such information would get him accepted faster by the family, David would have done so earlier.

"I have to leave now." He announced.

Jennie waved her hand. "Of course you are such a busy man, go on. From today on, I will be sending you meals at your lab, make sure you send me your schedule and inform me if you will skip any meal." A warm smile continued to exist on her lips.

"Thank you, mom." David boisterously answered.

Collin offered to escort David to his car leaving the women alone.

Phoebe stopped smiling as she met the renewed pitiful gazes of her mother, grandmother and aunt. "Not one word and not one tear unless you don’t want me to talk to you again." she announced very seriously.

They all nodded and held in the emotions; to divert their minds they had dived into a different conversation on the latest topic that had taken the founding lane gossip mill by storm.

"Guess whose ghost was at our cafe today?" Grandma Mayfair started the conversation.

She exaggeratedly told the sad unbelievable story of Gwyneth and Theodore, leaving Jennie and Aunt Maureen stunned. They had heard snippets but Grandma Mayfair tied everything together with a neat bow.

"My goodness! So, it’s all true? Miranda posted parts of the story in the fabulous ladies chat group, but she left out the names of the parties involved." Jennie browsed through her phone and displayed the chat conversations.

A dry laugh came from Phoebe. "Leaving the names out was pointless, from the reactions here everyone knows that it’s Theodore that they are talking about. Which other politician in the country rescued a puppy shirtless?" Her dry laugh transitioned to a real one.

It was ridiculous, Miranda had literally given away the identity of the involved parties in the headline which read: Exposing a fake women’s rights activist and shirtless puppy rescuing scumbag named TR for bigamy and a romance scum.

Who else could the puppy rescuing scumbag named TR be? The options were not many.
