Chapter 70
Reyna Cruz:
You look gorgeous, Polline gently squeezed my hand between hers, tears sparkling through her eyes.
“Thank you,” I smiled, tucking the hair behind my ear until she brought them out again.

“Don’t ruin the hairstyle,” she complained, straightening my hair again. I had worn a tight black dress that accentuated my curves and straightened my hair, leaving them spread all around my back and on my right shoulder.
“Wow! Mommy looks so fine.” I heard Turner compliment me while playing with the basketball in his hand.
“He is just like his fath-” I quickly shut up when realizing what was saying. Thankfully, Polline didn’t react as if she had heard me, and that helped me get over it sooner than I could imagine.
Soon, the doorbell rang, and Polline gestured for me to go meet Samuel. Turner and Polline didn’t even come downstairs with me, but I knew they were watching from the top of the staircase when I opened the door to a suavely dressed Samuel. He looked so hot in the black suit with his hair slicked back.
“Hey, gorgeous, he commented, handing me a red rose.
“Hi, I felt awkward looking into his eyes and noticed him casting glances at my body and then to my face.
“Hey, Samuel,” just as we were awkwardly observing each other, we were interrupted by a loud scream from Turner. Samuel looked over my shoulder at my son, who was pointing a finger at him.
“Go have fun with my mom. But make sure you drop her home safely,” his little threatening advice made us laugh.
“Alright sir, I will keep that in my mind,” Sam played along and gave a flying kiss to my son before we strolled out of the mansion and sat down in his car.
I have told Sam that Turner didn’t let me stay in Hunter’s mansion because he didn’t want me to feel uncomfortable. It was also an attempt to let him know that Turner was not planning to sabotage our relationship. My little prince was happy for
me
“So, where are we headed to tonight?” I asked him, watching him drive silently.
To somewhere where we couldn’t be bothered,” his response raised my eyebrows. I wasn’t really good with surprises. In the past, they have only brought me shock and never happiness so I loved being informed about what the others were planning
for me.
“And where do you think it would be?” I wasn’t the type who did well with secrets, and I wished he could tell from the fake smile on my lips.
“To my place,” as he said that, I turned to stare at his face. I had never heard him talk about his home before.
“I realized you need to see my place. So when you told me you wanted us to be alone, I decided to describe my home for you. For its real owner,” he added, and I zoned out for a bit.
Junderstood that he wanted us to move into his mansion because it was in a much safer area, but I really felt at home in my own home. However, I decided not to argue and be happy about what I was getting. It was way beyond my expectations.
Soon, he entered a gated area, and I acknowledged that this place was much safer for my kid. It was a gated community in a rogue community. Most of the rich and influential rogue elders lived here. There was a park and some malls too.
My son would be able to go out and make friends here without any fear of harm coming his way, which reminded me of that incident. So far, no suspect has been caught. It was so frustrating that even an alpha king and a rogue king couldn’t find

the
man
who did this to my ;
son.
Sometimes, I wondered if that man would return to harm my baby again?

I shook myself awake when Samuel parked his car in front of a big mansion. It looked gorgeous. To think he lived here all alone made me wonder how lonely he must feel.
A guard rushed to open the door for us, and seeing me with him brought a smile to that guard’s face. It was like he was shocked and surprised that Samuel had brought someone home
“Your highness, are you -the queen?” he stammered, smiling widely until Samuel gestured at him not to creep me out.
“It is fine.” I mouthed to Samuel before returning to speak to the guard, “yes!”
“You are so gorgeous,” the guard smiled, rushing ahead to open the door to the mansion for me. He seemed like a nice guy. The way he was hunching over and didn’t let the smile slide off his face, I wondered if he had stayed with Samuel for years.
I entered the mansion with antique décor, but the area was so cold that I instantly hugged myself. There was no mistaking that he barely lived here.
“Yes, you are right,” before I could even say it out loud, Samuel nodded.
“When I leave the city, this place remains shut,” he uttered.
“Do you mind me asking, where is your family?” It had always bothered me that he never spoke of them.
“None of them stayed in contact with me when I was kicked out of the pack, so I didn’t keep in touch with them after I have attained so much wealth on my own,” he answered, not really looking too emotional.
I never got to know why he was kicked out. And it seemed like if asked him now, he would feel sad, so I decided to just roam around and look at the frames. There were huge frames on the wall, but every single frame had red paint on it, hiding the content.
“I don’t like art,” he shrugged.
“Then take it off, why ruin them?” I was honestly upset that he did that. The mansion looked more like an old castle. The walls were in an old style, and even the linens and velvet curtains too.
“What do you mean? I tried to make my own art,” he answered, making it clear that it was him who tried to paint on them.
“Now let’s stop admiring these walls and move to the roof. You can see most of the rogue community from there,” he then held my hand to carefully make me walk upstairs. After walking a set of stairs, I realized it was going to take some time. The castle was huge with a good number of stairs that would tire me every day when chasing after Turner.
“I will lose a lot of weight here,” I complained.
After a minute’s silence from him, he suddenly carried me in his arms and made me giggle.
“I will carry you around; you know I can do that,” he smiled, taking me to the rooftop where he had planned dinner for us.
There was a chef present with a grill next to him, barbequing right in front of us while the servers were now joining us to serve hot food. The dim fairy lights and the cu*n right.
I shouldn’t wait. There was no point in delaying it any longer anyway.
“So?” as he asked again. I nodded and then smiled widely before saying..
“Let’s get married next week.”
