ROSALIA'S POV
On turning my attention to the dining entrance. I saw him trailing behind Mrs Maria.
I never expected him to be here, what could have happened that made Dr Rowland came to the Villa.
We haven't spoken in years, the last time we spoke was five years ago. That was also the day we found out that Dad was murdered.
"Good morning everyone" he greeted with a smile on entering the dining. I immediately stood up and went to him likewise Wade offering our greetings to him.
"Morning Dr Rowland" I shook hands with him while saying my greetings to him "Rosalia it's been quite some time. How have you been?" he said to me while disengaging from the hand shake "Yes Dr it's been quite some time, I've been well and you" I replied him "well am doing good although I haven't been in Bronx in recent years" he answered back "oh wow i didn't know you weren't around" i told him surprisingly and that's the truth. I didn't know he traveled since we haven't came in contact in like five years. The travel was the reason we haven't heard from him.
Mom stood up also shaking hands with him saying "Morning Dr Rowland, how have you been and how is everyone, when did you get back" he smiled back at her whilst still shaking hands "I've been fine and doing well, Mia and the kids are also doing great thanks for asking Mrs Reign, I just got back yesterday and since today is also Mr Reign's anniversary I decide to visit today" he said to Mom "oh wow that's very thoughtful of you Dr Rowland, thank you we'll be heading there after breakfast" they disengage from the hand shake and Mom took her seat, while offering Dr Rowland a seat,which he was declining but mom insisted. So he sat beside Wade while Mom sent for Mrs Maria who has made her way out of the dining upon bringing Dr Rowland in. Mom sent for Mrs Maria through the intercom, requesting her to have a breakfast tray sent to the dining.
"Dr Rowland, been a while" Wade said acknowledging him by nodding and shaking hands with him "Ah Wade it's really been a while and I must say your prowess is something not to be trifled with. I've seen the potentials you've ingested in Reign Enterprises and the Reign household. Am really overwhelmed, I believe you are a godsent stay blessed Wade" he said to Wade making the atmosphere emotional for us all except the kids. And Wade being Wade never read meaning to it, but just gave a curt nod to the older man, who disengaged his hand from the greeting gesture they had both portrayed.
Earning a nod and an energetic smile from Mom "A godsent that exactly he is, My godsent My son" Mom said getting emotional and reeling in the moment whilst keeping her gaze on Wade momentarily.
Seeming to notice the Campbells and the kids. Dr Rowland extended his hand towards them, since they were sitting close to him "nice to finally meet you Dr Rowland, am Lucas Campbell and that's my wife Miranda Campbell" said Lucas upon shaking hands with him "Nicholas Rowland, hopefully words you've heard about me are good and that's a beautiful woman you've got there" he said complimenting Miranda which makes him earn a smile from her "sure doc" Lucas replied him smiling.
Turning his attention to the kids he said "oh my! Can you tell me who this cute little pumpkins are, can you please introduce yourself" he said gesturing to the children. Amelia answered being the social carefree self she is "Am Amelia and that's my brother seated over at grandma's he is Alexius and that cute baby seating by my brother is Leh his name is Leshawn" she said making Dr Rowland smile looking over at Leshawn "I guess you guys are twin and that's a cute baby you've right there she ain't lying" he says making us laugh and Leshawn giggles while Amelia nods in response to him saying "yes he is my twin brother" she said smiling at Alexius.
Even though Amelia is a ball of mischief and naughtiness. She is one of the most lively and loving child I have ever known, she sure has big feelings.
Few minutes later Mrs Maria made her way into the dining, with Georgia behind her bearing the breakfast tray in her hands.
You may be wondering how I got to know all of them and their names. That's because I got along well with them all while growing up. And most of them started working with us at an early age, the likes of Claire Jude and Georgia.
Finishing breakfast with a lot of chatter, we finally left the house for the cemetery.
On getting there we met with the Kings, already at the cemetery entrance standing beside their car, on sighting our cars they made thier way to us.
On getting to where we were. The kids had already alighted on getting a glimpse of their grandparents. Amelia immediately ran into their awaiting arms, but got scooped up by Mother, who never cease to shower her with kisses making Amelia giggles.
Crouching down to Alexius's size, Father hugged him and patted his back, saying words I couldn't hear to him. While Alexius nods at him and gave him a small smile.
They both greeted the kids individually, but behaving more matured to Alexius, because they also know his personality.
At times Alexius act ten years older than his actual age. While Amelia always acts her age, except when she is full of mischief that's when she acts mature.
Engulfing me in a hug and planting a kiss on my cheek. Mother reluctantly let go of me saying "oh my goodness Rosalia I've missed you so much" breaking the hug I replied her "I missed you too Mother" then father gave me a kiss on the cheek patting my back.
After exchanging pleasantries with the others, we all head into the cemetery with a flower bouquet in each of our hands.
On getting to where Dad was laid to rest, we all had our moment with him Mom being the first. I had my moment with him after Mom, then Wade went to him right after me. After Wade I took the kids to him saying "hi again dad yes it's me, but this time I brought too little cute bunnies" saying that makes Amelia giggle "And the pregnancy was not one baby but two this are your grandchildren, Alexius Gregory and Amelia Royalty they are a twin dad" i said now facing the children "hey kids this is your grandpa who was my Dad, his name is Reginald Bruce Reign you know him don't you?" I asked them which they nod to "Hi you must be grandpa, because grandfather is standing over there" Amelia says pointing to where Father was standing, which made me smile. "Am Amelia the younger twin, I wish I had known you before. But not to worry i have your pictures with me always, I miss you grandpa" she said while getting teary eyed.
"Hi Grandpa am Alexius am the older twin I missed you too grandpa" he said and moved back. I then took the children away from his tomb, so the others can have their moment with him.
After what seems like two hours, we all dropped our flower bouquet on his tomb it was water lilies, because its Dad favorite flower.
I saw Wade hugging Mom and patting her back. She had some tears in her eyes, even I felt emotional but I reeled it in. Because I can't mourn him now I need to revenge his death first, after then I can mourn his death.
Few minutes later we all gathered to get going. The children left with Mom and the others, leaving behind me and Wade.
Me and Wade had a moment together with Dad, after finishing we head out of his tomb, I've felt the feeling of being watched since we came, but I've been ignoring it.
Turning back to take a look at dad's tombstone, my eyes met with a pair of icy lake blue eyes staring back at me.
Those pair of eyes kept looking at me, not even attempting to avert those crystals orbs from me.
I was stunned and trapped at where I stood. I couldn't even move away from there, I felt paralyzed.
