Chapter 6 - CHAPTER 7 : HE WAS MURDERED

ROSALIA'S POV

I glanced at my phone that was ringing and when I saw the phone number calling me I got scared that it was visible to everyone present.

My mom looks at me and she seems worried almost immediately I don't understand what's going on, how could my supposedly dead father call me it's his number that's calling me now I gingerly picked the call and placed it on my ear in fear, my mom was mouthing some words to me but I can't hear her because I can't seem to focus.

What I heard next made me relieved and sad at the same time, "hello this is Dr Rowlands calling from the forensic Lab, am I speaking with Miss Reign"

"Yes this is Miss Reign on the line pls how may I be of help Dr Rowlands"

I replied the man when I realized it was our family doctor I felt at ease, I already know Dad's corpse would be sent to the lab since he died in an accident.

"Your father left a message for you and It strictly states that it must be given to you"

"Ok thanks doctor I will be there in an hour"

After hanging up the call it brought tears slipping down my face it's strange that I feel happy and sad at the same time, am happy he remembered me even in at the brink of death for him to write a letter to me, and am sad that he is really gone for good he couldn't even see his grandchildren or even witness their birth.

All the while I was on call with Dr Rowlands I noticed my Mom her eyes was getting misty all over again, I think she heard the conversation going on between me and the doctor since we are seated closed to each other.

I told Miranda, my Mom and Lucas about what the doctor told me and that I will be going there now, to get the results and the supposed letter Dad left me.

"Ok honey let Wade go with you, I wouldn't want you going out all alone at this time, not with the state you are in" my Mom said when I was about to leave.

I glanced at Wade and nodded at my mom then left the house we took Wade's car and drove down to the lab.

After what seems like an hour we got to the lab we went in together, I was directed to the doctor's office and made my way there with Wade trailing behind me.

On getting to his office I knocked making my presence known, he ushered me in after getting seated with Wade standing behind me what he said next surprised me.

"Hi Wade you can pls be seated also because what I am about to say also needs you to get seated" he said gesturing towards Wade so he knew Wade, then am the only one who doesn't know about wade until today even my gynaecologist knows him, enough about Wade my mind then drifted to what he said about saying something that even requires wade to be seated, then we are in for something serious I am having a hunch it has something to do with Dad's death.

"Ok Dr what do you want to say that requires Wade to sit I guess it's serious then" I asked him

"Yes it is Miss Reign, your father's death wasn't a normal accident his car brakes was tampered with, and the autopsy done also shows he inhaled a poisonous substance that destroys his lungs, and slowed his breathing till he was out of breath resulting to his death "

What the doctor said felt like I was splashed with cold water drenching me from my hair down to my feet,I felt something was wrong when i was told he died from an accident he just couldn't have died from an accident, because all of our cars are properly maintained and serviced, it turns out his brakes were tampered with and he was also poisoned they made sure he wouldn't survive, who ever the pepertrator could have been and am sure this was not a one person's doing there must be a mastermind who had all this planned out, one person couldn't just have carried out all of this confirming my thoughts wade spoke

"So doctor what you are trying to say is that he was murdered "

"I think so because with everything attached to his death, this can't be mere coincidence can it" he replied Wade looking from me to him.

My eyes stung with tears and my heart felt immense pain knowing my father didn't die a natural death, he was murdered what could he have done to whoever did this my father was a kind hearted and selfless man he would never covet someone else's things, they didn't even consider his family his now widowed wife and his now fatherless daughter or even his unborn grandchildren.

How can people be so cruel i didn't know when the tears came falling again I couldn't hold it in any longer the pain was too much for me to bear, in the span of five months i have lost my husband to another woman and now my father to the cold hands of death, he didn't even die a natural death they have him killed can my life get any more worse than this.

My thoughts drifted back to the company who is going to take over the company now, am an only child and my dad doesn't even have any close relatives who would take care of the company now.

I am already pregnant and I wouldn't want Alexander to see me pregnant he would know it's his and I can't let that happen not even in my wildest dreams, he's denied their existence he doesn't deserve to know about them even when they are born, and besides they are my comfort zone with everything going on my babies are the ones I find solace in, because of them I was able to go through everything being strong.

I tried to be strong but the pain was stronger than I was and the tears came falling in torrents, and am thankful Wade and Dr Rowlands didn't make me feel embarrassed by crying in front of them, after what seems like forever i was done crying somehow i felt a little better and wiped away the tears streaks that have seem to hung on my face with the handkerchief wade handed to me, I was grateful he had that with him may be this Wade Atkins can be trusted then since all the people close to me seems to trust him maybe I should give him a benefit of the doubt.

After getting all the information about everything concerning his death and handing me the supposed letter my dad left me we left the lab and got into the car to head home, inside the car i was seated at the back while Wade drives, the air inside the car was hanging because of the tension in the car we were both lost in our different thoughts.

Looking at the letter I was swirling it in my hands and wondering what could be in it, what could it have been that my dad strictly states that it must be given to me only, I possibly can't read it here in the car I have a feeling it may contain something huge and that will have to wait until I get home.

An hour later we got home we both alighted from the car and head inside on getting inside and seeing my mom, I couldn't control the tears again I ran to hug her and the tears came pouring I cried out, the pain was overwhelming I cried so much i couldn't stop heaving from hiccups.

With a heavy heart I told her because I couldn't just keep this away from her she has the right to know he was her husband "Mom he didn't die from an accident he was killed, Dad was murdered Mom he was murdered they killed him" i shouted with tears falling down my face.

Miranda also came to hug me and Mom was shushing me while humming with tears streaming down her face, the three of us stayed that way shushing and calming each other for what seems like eternity.

After a while we have all gotten seated and Wade said something disturbing " I think I may know who has done it " what is going on Wade may know who the pepertrator is or does he
