    Reyna Cruz:


    “Calm down! Nothing happened, Polline had been soothing me rubbing my back ever since Hunter


    left. I could hardly talk to Samuel, and thankfully, he got it and headed home. I wasn’t in the mood to


    chat with anyone at the moment.


    Turner had also been in his room. I felt sorry for Polline for looking after everyone and trying to feed


    us. It wasn’t her responsibility but she did take the role seriously.


    You should’ve seen the look in his eyes. He called me horrible in a million different expressions,” I


    whispered, shutting my eyes to erase his face.


    “But you’re not horrible. Polline held my hand, encouraging me to open my eyes and look at her.


    “You don’t know that. Do you know the only reason I was upset with him is now gone too?” As I


    asked that question, she frowned in bewilderment.


    “All this time, I thought, why didn’t he check the mobile data. Guess what? he did, and I was seen


    as a liar once again. Do you think any of us would have trusted our mate if we had seen them in a


    compromised situation? Do you think we wouldn’t have hated on the person if we had found out that


    they lied about everything and tried to use us of cheating on them. after getting caught?” 1


    began to sob and then hupped, receiving a water offer from her.


    “That all happened in my case,” I took a sip from the water, close my eyes, and leaned my head


    back on the sofa,


    “Reyna! It was all in the past. And you know you were innocent. Just because you didn’t have


    evidence to prove your innocence doesn’t make you guilty either, I felt her hand rubbing my elbow,


    giving me a feeling of case.


    “But he doesn’t know that.” I uttered with my eyes closed. I remembered the day he found me in the


    hotel room and the look on his face when, in front of everyone, I called him out for sleeping with


    someone. I imed loudly that the unknown Caller ID told me he was cheating on me.


    “But what can be done now?” she replied.


    And then a brief silence took over us until she nudged my arm to wake me up. “I think you shouldCopyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.


    think about Samuel now. He’s been there for you, and you two have been doing so welltely. Don’t


    let your past taint your present happiness.”


    I knew she was right, but the thought of leaving Hunter behind really ached my soul. He had


    suffered because of me, and it isn’t like I hate him or anything. If anything, seeing him again


    reminded me of our past, the love we once shared. It wouldn’t be easy for me to move on from him,


    but I could always try.


    “You are right. But I don’t think I can carry on with this job for too long. I don’t want to face Hunter


    every day,” I told Polline, holding her hand and looking into her eyes.


    “But you have worked so hard for it,” she pouted sadly.


    “I can always work from home. I’ve done that before too. It won’t be easy for me to face Hunter and


    see the pain of betrayal in his eyes, knowing that I cannot do anything to ease his pain,” almost


    sounded like I was requesting her to encourage me to leave the job.


    “You are right. Your mental health is way more important than working in that office. Besides, you


    now have Samuel. Speak to him and let him know you will be working from home,” she gave me a


    smile at the mention of Samuel.


    After nodding to her. I picked up my phone and retreated to my room. Polline had taken care of


    Turner, so I was good to sit and have a conversation with him.


    “Wow! Since when did you start calling me unannounced?” I heard the cheerful tone from the other


    side, and my muscles

    Have you been thinking absqm me be continued to ask in aforting tone


    “About everything.” I replied, approaching the balcony and looking at the road ahead,


    Oh That’s not good, he clickest his tongue


    Are you not worried that you might lose your friend for epting me into your life? I inquired in a


    soft tone, taking a deep breath and keeping my eyes dry. No more tears lett tcry for today.


    I


    “Reyna’ Do you think anyone would leave their fated mate for cone? I wouldn’t either, I am happy


    that I have found you ashow mate Why the hell –


    is a friend, he would understand. It’s not like


    you are still mated to him dammit! The agitation in his voice after speaking every word was evident.


    “You are right. I lowered my eyes.


    “You shoulder think about him either. What you two had is over the slid this to himself any way,” he


    scoffed.


    “You were inocent, he should gave known,” Sammel continued


    “Actually, I didn’t have evidence to prove my innocence. I quickly corrected him because it felt


    wrong to use Hunter when he was just a victim of betrayal, les, and istion. I’m not saying I


    didn’tce anything either. I was treated in the worst way, but in his eyes, that was the right


    punishment for me


    “It doesn’t matter anymore,” he was so nonchnt about his friest’s feelings.


    “Anyway, are youing to the office tomorrow? I was thinking bout it and couldn’t help but wonder


    if he will make it difficult for you to continue the job. So I wille to the office every day with you


    from now on, before I could even suggest working from home, he offered me leniency. However,


    was still not sure if I wanted to face Hunter every day.


    Actually, I had been thinking about it myself. I don’t think it is appropriate for me to work with him


    anymore. I don’t find itforting. I excused, hearing him silently breathe on the other side.


    “This is your job, the projects you have worked on. I knew he wjuld be against the idea, but he


    should understand that it is very awkward to be in the same office as him.


    “I can work from home, can’t I? And why do I need to work with him on the projects? Why can’t I


    work with you?” I asked as I decided to be his copywriter and always work on the projects with him.


    He went silent for a minute before answering, “I don’t mind that idea”


    “Great. Does that mean I can stop going to the office from tomorrow?” I was thrilled to hear I could


    skip facing Hunter now.


    “Yeah! And since I was the one who hired you, I can transfer you home easily,” he must be smiling


    on the other side because of how cheerful he sounded. At least that went well. I had been worried


    about my jobtely. It had be so hard to face Hunter. Our every meeting ended with arguments


    or making faces at each other. Now that I have finished working on the main project, I could be


    transfered.


    After Samuel and I spoke for hours, we fell asleep on the phone call. I woke up to a dark room and


    little hands pulling my phone away from my hand.


    “Mom! You had fallen asleep with the phone in your hand, Turner whispered, turning on the side


    lamp and attempting to fix the pillow under me


    You haven’t slept yet?” I asked, gening up in the bed and watching my little hero as he fixed my


    nket to make me


    comfortable.


    “So I have been thinking a lot,” he sighed.


    “Come!” I left a space for him, and he crawled m

    “What is my her thinking about?” I inquired, resting my head on his tiny shoulder. He was such a


    good kid. No wonder Hunter couldn’t resisting and apologizing to him. I have no clue how I


    turned out to be so lucky to have Turner myself. But if anything. I could think of, maybe it was the


    Moon Godde way to give me the best after taking away my rest from

    “Do you want to ept this apology? Without wanting to put any pressure on him, I asked him

    “I don’t know. I am still pretty upset with him, but when he teared up today, I didn’t like it,” he spoke


    open-heartedly with.


    That’s why I didn’t interrupt him because I didn’t want my son to be cautious about what he says in


    front of me. He should be able to pour his heart out.


    every way he wants to..


    “Do you want to speak to him?” Lasked, and he turned his head me.


    “Can he looked so hopeful. I gave him a nod and handed hit my phone. The smile on his lips


    comforted me. I wouldn’t ever want my son to be torn between us. I know I hid the truth from Hunter


    for so long, but I only did it because I was afraid of him taking my son away from me. Turner walked


    away with my phone, waving his hand, saying goodbye to me. Since I trusted him. I let him use my


    phone and speak to his father.
