Chapter 74
Reyna Cruz:
Are you ready?” Polline asked me, and I nodded shakily. I had just taken a shower while Polline had prepared Turner for
bed.
“Don’t worry too much. You know your son and you also know that he loves you unconditionally, he will never not be happy for you,” Polline rubbed my elbow to give me strength.
“The problem is not that he will be upset, the issue is that he will hide his true emotions,” I mumbled sadly.
“It is natural for him to feel a little low. That doesn’t mean he will not support you,” she was right.
Now, I was about to talk to him. The wedding was just a few days away, and I needed Turner to choose whatever he wanted for the ceremony.
I walked into the bedroom and found Turner in bed, ready to fall asleep but waiting for me.
“Mommy! Thank you for coming with us today. It truly means a lot to me,” he said, smiling from his bed, holding the blanket over his chest, looking peaceful.
I worried about how he would react to the news. What if he doesn’t take it well? I cannot upset him, but I also cannot step away from my decision to marry Samuel.
“Of course, I wouldn’t ever want to miss spending a day with you I pulled a chair near his bed and sat down, holding a book for him. He loved reading adventure stories, and we would later spend a lot of time discussing them. I always enjoyed listening to his input on things.
But today, the book in my hand was just a distraction. I had a much deeper discussion to have with him.
“Turner!” I shifted uncomfortably in my seat, trying to find the right words to start the conversation.
“Mommy! What is it? You’ve been restless since you came into my room,” my son observed my body language. This is what I loved about him – he noticed these little details instead of material things.
“I’ve been meaning to talk with you. I know I’m a
a little behind, but trust me, it was only decided a few days ago, I wast lying; Samuel and I had decided to marry in a week.
“What is it, Mom?” he asked, anticipating the conversation.
“Turner! Uncle Sam and I are getting married.” As soon as I said that, I watched my son zone out. He took a minute bela smiling and getting up to hug me, breaking my heart. I wasn’t naive; I knew he wasn’t too happy.
I’m sure he had hoped for his father and me to get back together, but my son would never say it out loud to put pressure me. Things had turned so bad between me and Hunter that marrying Samuel seemed like a good choice
I’m so happy for you,” Turner broke the hug but kept his arms wrapped around my neck.
“Mommy! I would love to go with you to select a wedding dress,” he added, now overdoing his reaction, probably because he felt he should have expressed happiness sooner.
“Hey! I’m so happy that you are happy, I quickly let him know I wasn’t bothered by the delay in his response. I would never be upset with him.
“And as for the wedding dress, of course you would come with ree, I caressed his cheek, watching Polline peer her head out from behind the door.

*Come on in, grandma-My mom is getting married, Turner jumped up and down excitedly, making Polline join us and laugh with us.
I was grateful to have a son like Turner.
Now that everything had been sorted out, I was beyond ecstatic to go and select a wedding dress. Since money wasn’t an issue, I just had to go and pick a dress. The designer assured me that she would alter it as quickly as she could. After talking about various things with Turner. I returned to the kitchen with Polline.
“See! I knew he would be happy,” Polline smiled, pouring wine for me, “but the most important question is, are you happy?” Her question caught me off guard. I didn’t expect anyone to ask me that since I was the one who said ‘yes’ to marrying Sam.
“Yes! Why would you ask me that question? While keeping a smile on my lips, I quickly drank the wine to shift her
attention.
“It’s just that–I know it won’t be easy for you to get married for the second time. You still face Hunter every day, and I have noticed that– she paused, and I shook my head to dismiss whatever thoughts were in her head.
“Polline! I am done with him. He was in my past, and I never intend to go back to my past. Besides, his recent actions have made me only want to stay away from him. His anger and vengeance know no boundary,” I made sure she understands that my hesitation was only because of the trauma from the first wedding and not because I was missing Hunter or still holding onto him.
“Then it’s done. Tomorrow we are going to get you a dress because we really don’t have much time to waste anymore,” with that, Polline raised her glass to smile at me and toast for me.
“A toast for the lovely bride-to-be, and my daughter who truly deserves a happy ending after facing the hard times in life, that would have shattered many she-wolves, our glasses clinked together, and we drank from them. We then went to bed early because we had to wake up early for the rest of our shopping. It was all happening in a rush, but I liked it. It was about time that I moved on from my past.
We spent the whole day together. Turner bought himself a suit and other outfits for the later ceremonies, with Polline doing the same for herself. I spent most of the day picking a dress, and honestly speaking, that A-line white wedding gown stole my heart. Both Polline and Turner liked it, so I decided on it. After getting tired and returning home, I was expecting to go to bed and rest when my phone started ringing. I frowned at the screen when Hunter’s name popped up on it. He was the last person I wanted to speak to a day before my wedding, But since he was calling so much, I had to attend his call.
“Hello? Why are you calling at this time?” I frowned, getting into bed and pulling a blanket over my body.
“I just want to wish you-good luck!” his voice was heavy and low I didn’t want to focus too much on it, but it appeared as if he had been crying.
“Hunter” before I could continue, he added and filled my skin with goosebumps.
“It is fine. I am fine now. You just get ready for your wedding because I am telling you this today–this will be the last time you have spoken Samuel’s name from your lips.” The harshness in his voice made me straighten up my spine and grunt in
response.
“Are you threatening me?” I asked in amusement.
“No! I am just letting you know. I let you go around buying dresses and all, but that’s all I could do to let you fancy your dreams. I didn’t believe he was saying this out of nowhere. He seemed determined.
“What are you planning to do?” My body shuddered, cold shivers running up and down my spine as I anticipated what was going through his head.
“You will see I just plan to gift you something as he took a break and chugged something down his throat, I rolled my eyes at the realizan that he was drunk. Just then, the phone was stut hed out of his hands.

“Hmm, I hope you tell your son when he is in his senses that whatever messy situation he has planned would affect his son’s relationship with him.” After issuing my own warning. I heard his mother sigh
“He will not do anything like that. He knows better than that. You don’t worry, and get the happiness you have always deserved, his mother didn’t use her usual taunting tone with me That was odd. Since when did she begin to believe that I deserve anything good in my life?

“Thank you,” with that being said, I hung up the call and called it a night.
