    Reyna Cruz:


    “Are you seriously saying yes?” I think he didn’t know I would so easily ept it because even he


    seemed to be taken off guard. I nodded and a bright smile covered his lips this time.


    My agreement to the idea of us tying the knot had brought immense joy to him. I observed him


    relishing his food even more after that. However, despite his happiness, he soon realized that


    popping the question tonight was a mistake. As we cozied up on his couch, watching a movic, I


    thwarted his hand from sliding between my legs.


    “Now you’ll have to wait a little longer to be in my pants,” I shrugged dramatically, sliding away to


    stand up from the couch.


    “What does that mean? Haven’t I waited enough?” he smirked,ing after me, but I quickly


    sidestepped.


    “Samuel, we are getting married, so have some patience. I suggest we don’t meet for a week until


    our wedding,” I wasn’t superstitious, but I knew Polline was. Since I had genuinely be a part of


    her family, I wanted to respect her beliefs.


    “Are you serious?” he raised his brow, and when I nodded, heid face down on the couch and


    sighed.


    “I am so stupid. I should have waited before posing that question, he made meugh at how foolish


    he sounded.


    “Well, toote now that I have said yes,” I whispered from afar, watching him raise his head and


    then get out of the couch.


    “That sounds even better, his warm,forting smile made me feel better.


    “Hey, it’s gettingte. We should head back home now, I hugged myself, rubbing my arms when I


    realized it had gotten so cold in there.


    “Sure, let me grab my jacket,” he said and stepped away upstairs where he had left his jacket. I


    wondered why he tortured himself by going all the way upstairs and not grabbing a new one from


    his bedroom. Which brought me to another question. He never actually showed me around. ButCopyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.


    then again, we didn’t have too much time, and the castle seemed to have way too many hallways


    and bedrooms.


    After five minutes, he returned wearing his jacket and held my hand to walk me out. It was only


    when I was out of the castle that I began to feel much more rxed. I didn’t know I was feeling so


    weird there. There was something about the air of that ce that I couldn’t shake. However, I didn’t


    say it out loud before him because upsetting him after he had nned such a sweet dinner for us


    was thest thing I wanted to do.


    In the car, I even dozed off and woke up once he had parked the car in front of my home. Although


    it was a mansion, it looked tiny after seeing Samuel’s castle.


    “I wish I coulde inside,” he winked, trying to be cheeky.


    “Not until the wedding, mister,” I warned him with my finger wagging at him before I stepped out of


    the car.


    “Goodbye,” he pointed at his cheek, and I shook my head, gesturing to remind him that everything


    would now proceed after our wedding, which was just one week away. However, when you have


    money, even plenty of it, everything is possible.


    He drove away, and I entered the mansion, expecting everyone to be asleep. But luck wasn’t on my


    side. I was stunned to see Hunter in our living room. I narrowed my eyes to make sure I was seeing


    it right, and I was. But he didn’t have his car parked outside. I looked around and noticed no one, so


    I began to tiptoe towards the staircase to run upstairs and see where Polline and Hunter were.


    I don’t know why, but seeing him like that actually gave me chills up my spine. However, I hadn’t


    even reached the staircase when I heard his voice from behind me.


    “You were out on a date?”

    I turned around to see him looking at my face, anger shing on his cheeks, tinting them red,


    “What are you doing here, and where is–Polline?” I asked, looking around before meeting my gaze


    with him.


    “I ate her,” he hissed at my question, responding a bit bitterly


    “Why the heck are you in my home. Hunter? Now that we were facing each other. I raised my voice


    without hesitation.


    “I came here to see my son. Did you ask him to be to me about you being sick and sleeping in your


    room?” The way he questioned me without realizing that he had no right to do so left me stunned.


    “What? He told you that?” I whispered under my breath in confusion. Why would he say that?

    “Ohe on, you know he would say that because you told him to say that.” Hunter used me


    again,cking any proof. It wasn’t new anymore. It had be his habit to use me or me me


    for anything.


    *I have not, okay? I am not like you who would use my son.” I hissed, keeping my voice muffled. I


    didn’t want to make the same mistake Tara made.


    “Then why did he lie to me?” As Hunter yelled at me, footsteps came downstairs. Now I knew where


    my son was. He had left for his room to grab a nket for him. I think Polline was already sleeping


    when Hunter arrived, and Turner had let him in.


    “She didn’t tell me to lie. I did it on my own,” Turner casually stepped between us and mumbled.


    “But why?” Hunter didn’t use his harsh tone with him as he bent over him and gently caressed his


    cheek.


    “I didn’t want you to feel bad,” as Turner said that, my spine reacted.


    “Why would I feel bad?” I swear I heard a little voice crack from Hunter.


    “Because I know you feel jealous when you see mom with Samuel. I don’t want you to feel that way.


    Hence, I decided not to tell you about it.” Turner exined, making things even more awkward


    between us.


    Hunter quickly straightened his back and then stole a quick nce at me.


    “I don’t feel jealous. I have a mate at home, remember?” The way he shed him an awkward smile


    to convince him even left me baffled.


    Was it true? Even so, why would he feel jealous of us? He was over me. In fact, he hated me. Or


    was it that he hated how happy I was now.


    “You don’t even speak to her. You two don’t even look at each other with love in your eyes,” Turner


    shook his head and kept embarrassing him while I too felt awkward.


    “Okay, that’s enough I suppose you are staying over?” I told Turner to stop before looking over at


    Hunter, who was lost in thoughts


    “No” I decided to stay over when I heard you were not well. But I will leave now,” Hunter changed


    his mind so abruptly that


    “Oh but you didn’t evene here in your car Daddy. Do you think you will be fine traveling on


    foot?” Turner asked, and Hunter shed tum a warm amic

    We should just avoid it all and think about our wedding. Nera said in a broken whisper. I knew she


    was upset too. Now that we were getting married, obviously, we were reminded of our first broken


    marriage and how terribly it went for us.


    However, I wondered how Hunter would react to the news of the wedding.


    I think I will


    will let him fi


    find it out on his own.


    That was the perfect decision I have made. I didn’t want to face him with the news because I had a


    feeling that he would not react too nicely to it.
