He got to us and stopped looking at Jenny. He stretched out a hairpin to Jenny. âThis dropped from youâhe said looking at her. Jenny touched her hair but couldnât find it. âThanksâ she said and received the pin from him. He nodded his head smiling.
He left us while Jenny still looks uncomfortable and scared. When he left, I asked her if what she said was true. âDo you mean that guy is an evil spirit?âI asked looking surprised. âThat means he can see me too.âI added looking at her. âYes he does. He definitely saw youâJenny replied. âI knew from the first day I saw him. His looks were weird and strange.âI said. âHeâs a dangerous type. Do you know him specially from anywhere?âshe asked me. âNo. I donât remember seeing him when I was still a humanâI replied. âHis thought interpretes that Heâs someone who knows you better than anyone. Heâs someone who knows every secret about your death.âJenny said looking at me. I was so surprised to hear that. I never knew of all what she just said. I had no idea of who the guy is to me.

Johnâs POV
After Debbie and I talked for long, and the time is almost 9pm. We left the bar for my car. After dropping her home, I drove back home still thinking about what she meant by ââthe game is not easy to play with that kind of person.ââI asked her about it but she refuses to reveal the person to me.
When I got home, I packed my car in the compound and walked towards the door.
I opened it and went inside. I saw Stella sitting on the chair in the living room. I was surprised she has turned back to ghost girl. When I got to her she stood up.

Stellaâs POV
When I saw john, I stood up from the couch looking at him. âYouâre here alreadyâhe said looking at me. âYes. I have something to tell youâI said. âWhatâs that? Am also just coming from Debbieâhe said. âJenny told me about your brother. The girl can read thoughts. We met him today while I was escorting Jenny home. Can your brother see ghosts?âI asked looking at him. He looks surprised by the question. I guess he doesnât know about that. âWhat do you mean? Because I can see you that doesnât mean my brother and sisters can also see ghostsâhe replied looking at me strangely. I told him everything Jenny told me about Stephen. He found it so hard to believe. I wondered why he canât believe me. âThatâs unbelievable! Stephen canât be. He might be bad, mean or wicked but he can never be that evil.âhe said looking at me.

Johnâs POV
When she told me the whole thing Jenny told her about Stephen, I found it so hard to believe. It was then I remembered what Debbie told me at the bar. Could the person be Stephen? If Stephen did that to her whatâs his purpose and what does he gain from hurting an innocent person like her.ââI thought to myself still staring at Stella.
âWeâll talk tomorrow. Let me gather myself together first before I can say anythingâI said and headed to my room. When I got to my room, I sat on the bed thinking about the whole thing over and over again. âStephen was possessed? But when? How?âI asked myself lot of questions I was not able to give answers to.

Cassandraâs POV.
When I was driving home, I got a call from my sister saying mum is so sick and requesting to see me. I donât visit home for the past four years. Because I was an adopted child, I was treated badly by mummy. She always went against anything I do in the house. She threatened me to the extend that I ran away from home. When I ran away from their house, a car almost knock me down while I was walking around an unknown street. The driver turns out to be Stephen. He got down from his car to check if I had any injury. He asked where I was going to that late at night. I told him I was heading to nowhere. He asked me what the problem was and I told him everything about how my Foster mother treated me. I told him I canât go back to the house because I donât want to be treated bad anymore. It was then he accepted me and I started working for him. Till now I never visit them or want to know how theyâve been living. When their only daughter elle called me, she used another line to call me because Iâve been rejecting their calls all these years. When she told me about her motherâs health and her request to see me, I first hesitated but I thought I might be a bad person if I didnât visit them. I thought of days she took care of me as her child and also thought of elle and fathers good treatments towards me. Because of that, I made up my mind to visit them.
I made a U turn and drove to their place. When I got there, everywhere has really changed a lot. The houses and the environment has changed. Maybe because Iâve been there for long. I packed my car in front of their building and got down locking it with the remote.
I walked slowly towards the building. When I got to the entrance, I took a deep breath before pressing the door bell. In few seconds, the door was opened by Elle. Immediately she saw me, she hugged me so tight with tears on her face. âIâve missed you. Am sorry for everything mother did to you. Please forgive usâshe said sobbing. I patted her back gently and withdrew her from the hug.
She and father were the only one that took me as real family so they never offended me. Her face has not changed from how I left her.
I smiled nodding my head. âAm also sorry for leaving you guys like that. I hope you forgive me also.âI said looking at her. We both went inside to see mother. When we got to her room, she was lying on the bed. Tears dropped from her face when she sighted me. I stood before her looking at her face. âPlease forgive me Sandra. Am sorry for everything. I called you here just because I want to apologise properly. Please forgive me my daughter.âshe said weeping. I moved closer to her bed and hold her hand. âI understand you mummy. Am also sorry for leaving you guys. I regretted leaving the house because I realized everything became more worst for me not betterâI said looking at her.
âElle. Is your dad home yet?âshe asked my sister. âLet me check him in his roomâshe said and headed out. âThanks for coming. I had a slight fever. I was just discharged from your dadâs hospital today. You dad was giving me medications at home because I refused to stay at the hospital.âshe said looking at me. âOK ma. Howâs your health right now? Hope youâre getting better?âI asked. âYes. Thank Godâshe replied smiling. The door opened and dad came in. I stood up and greeted him. âCassandra! Is that really you?âhe asked looking at me. âAm so sorry sir. Sorry for making you guys worry. I think you should understand why I did thatâI said. He walked up to me and hugged me. âAm the one sorry for everything. Please forgive usâhe said.
He released me and looked at mother. âHowâs your health dear?âhe asked looking at her. âAm fine since I saw my daughterâshe replied smiling. âReally? Thatâs so goodâhe said smiling.
The door flung open and we all looked at the door wondering what happened.
âSheâs acting strange! Dad you need to check on herâelle rushed in screaming. Dad quickly rushed out with elle. Mum even tried to stand up but dad told her not to worry. I followed them out to where theyâre going to. He opened a door and I followed him in. When we got inside, a lady breathing heavily while the bed was shaking seriously. She was on the bed with an oxygen mask covering her nose and mouth. She was on life supporting matching. I wasnât able to see her face clearly so I moved closer as dad attended to her. When I got to her, I can now see her face clearly. She was the girl that died three years ago. âSuzy Mick!âI said looking at her.
I covered my mouth with both hand staring at her confusingly. Stephen told me she was his ex-girlfriend when she was alive. He told me how and reason he killed her three years ago.
I was the only one he revealed the whole secret to because he trusted me. I was so surprised to see her here. Why is she here? What relationship does she have with my Foster parents. I kept staring at her in shock.
