Chapter 327 A lottery win that was late.
It had been a while since Phoebe handled a case on her own without her grandmother, David, Shark, Andre or even Amon involving themselves.
For Phoebe, being on her own with only her ghost companions for company like this felt like old times, before she became a Mayfair or David's girlfriend.
"We are here ma'am." Santos announced as he turned off the engine.
Right, Phoebe recalled that she was not completely alone, she had another human companion that often went places with her, her bodyguard/driver on some occasions, Mr. Santos.
She looked out of the window,
"Xander stop." The ghost raised its hand to stop him. "Nobody pushed me, yes they berated me a little after my demotion and I hated working there but those people, as horrible as they were, they didn't kill me, I jumped. I was tired brother; this life I hated it, and I wanted to leave.
I am so sorry that I left you behind, but I had to go, I was sick Xan, cancer got me. I was evicted, sick and broke, everything felt like a dead end, and I did not want to burden anyone.
If you want to be angry at someone, be angry with me, I am the one that made this decision. I do not want you to dwell on your anger and become lost like me, you have a wife and children that love you, I had nobody." The ghost smiled through its tears.
"But you had me!" Xander exploded, "You had me you bastard, and about that loan." Xander checked his shirt pocket and pulled out a piece of paper. "See that lottery ticket we bought together a week before you died, I got the news last night that we won! Brother, we won! Imagine I called to tell you the news only to be told that you had jumped from a building. I couldn't believe it; you were so happy when I last saw you the day before and we made so many future plans."
"We won." Xavier whispered in disbelief.
"We won." Xander repeated, "Ten million, we finally won, so why didn't you wait a little longer?"
"When I saw you last, I was saying goodbye Xander, I wanted you to have one last memory of me. Listen brother it's not your fault but mine, use that money to better the life of your family. I on the other hand must move on, I will always watch over you I promise." Xavier's lips were covered by a sad smile.
Phoebe felt sorry for the two brothers, life was really funny. How could a lottery win come so late? Had it waited for Xavier to die?
She watched the two brothers sob their hearts out and she wiped her own tears.
"Such is fate." The Saxon spirit sighed.
After the two brothers said their goodbyes, Xavier thanked Phoebe before vanishing.
Phoebe patted Xander's shoulder. "You will be alright, if you miss him too much then take flowers to his grave and do some good deeds in his name to earn him merit so that he can be reincarnated sooner."
Xander promised to do so, he thanked Phoebe and left. He even took his posters with him and apologized to the guards whose work he had made difficult with his protests.
"What a good man." The Saxon spirit sighed
After handling the case quickly and efficiently, Phoebe went to the hair saloon where she had her hair washed and styled nicely, then she headed home to prepare for dinner.
The dinner was arranged in the gardens rather than inside. Phoebe had invited David being that he was her boyfriend, and he came in time. It was done because her father had requested that they invite their partners.
David had just taken a seat when Luke appeared arm in arm with Luna Elithera.
