Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband-Chapter 500: Reconciliation talk.

David was in a meeting with some of his men from Alfa security when he got a message from Phoebe saying that she had just wrapped up Catia's case. Usually, when Phoebe wrapped up a case, she would celebrate or become a little depressed. It depended on how the case went.

He excused himself from the meeting and called her.

"Are we celebrating or do I need to buy a dozen strawberry cream puffs. Unless you are not craving them anymore and you want something else like chocolate stuffed pancakes."

"You might need to buy me both." she answered.

David chuckled lightly and leaned against the wall. "That bad huh!"

"I gave her half a million." Phoebe admitted. "I wanted to give more but there are many people in the world that need the foundations help."

"Sounds to me like you have helped her a whole lot." He answered. "That is a life changing amount of money."

Phoebe could not deny that. Once upon a time, that money would be life changing to her as well. "She said half the women in the red-light district have sold, are selling or will sell their bodies in future. It kind of puts a damper on saving her because now I am wondering how many more Catia's are out there. Her parents sold her David, her mother and father!!!! What kind of parents traffic their own child?"

"Monsters." he told her.

"Demons." she corrected. "She mentioned the river east side brothel or a place like that. It sounds like they don't even care what age the girl is over there. They deserve death, all of them. Catia's parents, that pimp Purple Slime and everyone that thought it was okay to abuse a sixteen-year-old girl. God!! how many Catia's are out there." Phoebe sighed.

As she continued to vent, David walked to Roxanne's office. He wrote down the name of the brothel and the pimp Purple Slime. The he wrote 'clean it up' and handed the note to Roxanne.

With a few complaints to her boyfriend, Phoebe had no idea that she was about to bring a lot of change to the red-light district. All David wanted to do was give her peace of mind, even if it meant razing the district down and rebuilding it.

Elsewhere, across the lake in a quiet home on the founding lane, Edward and Rekha sat on a couch in the indoor patio acting awkward. They were in the house Edward had purchased for Rekha many years ago, the house in which she had been raised.

When Edward reached out to her by phone requesting to have a serious talk with her, Rekha suggested that they meet at the house.

Edward had let himself in but so far, they had yet to say anything aside from exchanging greetings.

"Phoebe is doing great." Rekha blurted out.

"That's great." Edward answered.

"Are you eating well?" he asked her.

He continued to ask random questions, and she continued to respond. For some minutes they talked about life in general with Edward making sure to keep the conversation light.

The door suddenly creaked as Nanny Fey walked in with a fresh pot of coffee and cookies. On her face was a wide grin. "Mr. Mayfair you do not know how it gladdens my heart that you have visited us after so many years." Nanny Fey's attitude was gentle, she was glad to see that old fences had been mended.

Nodding his head, Edward sipped on the coffee and nodded even more strongly. "Oh nanny Fey, how I have missed this delicious coffee of yours!" He paused and met her gaze. "How is your back? I hope that the tonics I sent you are helping." Worry clouded his eyes.

The smile in Nanny Fey's eyes was replaced by a glint of curiosity. "Oh, Mr. Mayfair those tonics are truly out of this world. I feel stronger than I have in years and that pain in my back is gone!" She praised, wiggling from side to side to show him that her back was really firm and strong.

Letting out a knowing laugh, Edward jutted his chin upwards. "My daughter Phoebe makes them, and I help. You won't find tonics more miraculous in the world than ours. Pass by the Black Ghost Cafe if you need more." He spoke with pride.

Rekha narrowed her gaze, shifting it between the two adults curiously. "Wait a minute, you two have been in touch? Since when?" She asked.

"Why would you think that we lost touch kiddo? I had to keep an eye on you somehow and know what you were up to. Nanny Fey kept me updated about your life, I watched over you kid, you just did not know it." Edward informed her.

A lump formed in Rekha's throat; she used a lot of effort to blink back her tears. All these years she thought that Edward hated her and had abandoned her, but he had not.

Nanny Fey rubbed her back. "Child how do you think we managed to pay all the servants, the gas, the food and much more before you started earning some money? Mr. Edward sent me a lot of money every month to facilitate for your needs. He still does that to date, so your money is sitting in a trust fund that he set up for you. Your father must be happy wherever he is, God rest his soul." She made the sign of the cross and excused herself, leaving the two of them to talk.

Tears erupted from Rekha like a dam breaking. "I am sorry Uncle Edward; I am sorry for it all. I should have listened when you warned me, but those people said that I was among those chosen to protect the world and I was looking for a cause." She wiped her tears with the back of her hand. "On the day I took a tour of the academy I found out that the Montgomery's had their children there, so I wanted to go there and be better than all of them. I wanted to prove to them that they made a mistake throwing me away, I was stupid." She confessed, sniveling loudly.

"And did you? Did you become better than those good for nothing Montgomery's?" Edward asked, twisting his face in a hilarious way.

Nodding her head strongly, they shared a glance and laughter overtook them, loud and unhinged.

"I beat them all." she croaked out.

"You did good my girl, you always made me proud." Edward praised her. "Hear me Rekha, I apologize deeply because as the adult, I should not have given you an ultimatum to begin with. I should have guided you better and made you understand why the academy was a dangerous place. I also apologize for not telling you about your parents sooner." He squeezed her fingers lightly. "You should have heard it from me."

Rekha's eyes crinkled at the edges as her lips gave way for a smile. "Uncle Edward, I appreciate your apology, and I hope that you forgive me too and we move on from all that." Hope trembled in her words, delicate like a glass.

"We already did my dear, come home whenever you like, there are two bedrooms waiting for you and nanny Fey." He paused for breath and asked seriously, "Do you want your memories back Rekha?"
