The Secret Heir Return To Wealth And Love

Rosalynn was unfazed by the hustle and bustle of the internet world. After watching a movie and returning home, she planned their itinerary for the next couple of days. Early next morning, Rosalynn and Wayne set out for the final resting place of Betsy and Ayden.

The location wasn't far from H City, and it only took them three hours.

Before Wayne knew about his origins, he would visit the grave every year with his grandmother, Natalie. As a young boy, he didn't know whom they were paying respects to.

Maddie, on the other hand, would get quite upset whenever she found out Natalie had taken him to pay his respects. She even coached Wayne, saying, "Next year, if grandma wants to take you, just pretend you're sick, okay? That place brings bad luck; don't let it rub off on you!"

Wayne agreed at the time. But he remembered how his grandmother would be overcome with grief at the grave, tears streaming down her face.d2

Wayne, adored by his grandmother as a child and equally fond of her, promised Maddie he wouldn't go. Yet, when the time came the following year, he obediently accompanied his grandmother to the gravesite.

That was until the year he found the diary. During a heated argument between his mother and grandmother, Wayne finally learned that the person they visited annually was his uncle.

Having read the diary, Wayne's feelings changed when he went to pay respects with his grandmother; he felt his uncle wouldn't want her to mourn him.

Years passed, and Wayne learned the truth of his birth. After that revelation, he never visited again, though Natalie continued to come every year until she fell ill.

In the height of summer, with the sun blazing and life teeming all around, Rosalynn and Wayne bought fresh flowers and walked through rows of headstones to a secluded area. The cemetery was lush with greenery and trees, embracing a solitary grave at its center.

Unlike the other graves, this one had a headstone without any inscription.

"Grandma didn't want them disturbed, so she left the headstone blank," Wayne softly explained to Rosalynn.

Rosalynn nodded, understanding. Perhaps the truth about Ayden killing his fiancée wasn't entirely unknown back then. It was just that information didn't travel as it does today. Natalie's decision to leave the tombstone nameless was likely out of fear that someone with ill intentions might find it and cause trouble.

They approached the grave.

Rosalynn laid the carefully chosen bouquet before the headstone.

Wayne stood quietly beside her, gazing at the wordless stone.

"I'm sorry it took me so long to come and pay respects," Rosalynn said gently. "I've found the one responsible for the tragedy that befell you both. I hope this brings some peace to your spirits." Wayne glanced at Rosalynn, who met his look.

He gave her a soft smile and squeezed their intertwined hands.

They didn't linger long at the grave.

Wayne thought he'd have a lot to say to Ayden, but once there, his mind was blank.

It wasn't until they were leaving that he silently said in his heart, "I'm healthy now and I will live well with my loved ones, so don't worry."

The cemetery was peaceful, filled only with the crisp songs of birds.

"Hey, did we forget to mention that grandma passed away?" Rosalynn suddenly remembered.

Wayne, arm around her waist, continued to walk forward with her. "He might not want to hear it. Besides, for all we know, they might have already met down there."

"Yeah, you're right." Rosalynn nodded as they walked on.
