Chapter 75
Reyna Cruz:
1 combed through the big curls in my hair to fix some of them while Polline neared the room to check on me. The gasp she let out boosted my confidence.
“You look so pretty,” she smiled widely, approaching me and observing my dress and makeup.

“It feels weird getting dressed up as a bride again,” I snickered, feeling shy and watching myself look so good. The dress fit well with my figure, and the makeup and hair made me look like a princess.
“Samuel has set up the venue beautifully,” Polline gushed over how Samuel handled everything in such a short time.
“He seemed to have halted every activity just for this day,” I smiled, acknowledging how happy he had been.
“Has he arrived yet?” I asked Polline, and she nodded.
“He actually did. He looks so good in that white suit,” she added, smiling before tapping the back of her head. “he’ll be leaving shortly to pick up a gift he bought for you.”
“Why is he leaving? I would receive the gift after our wedding anyway,” I mumbled as I watched her close her lips tightly and smile, “Okay! What is it?” I questioned her since she looked excited to share with me what the gift was.
“He has custom-made a crown for you since you are going to be rogue queen,” she giggled and covered her mouth to ruin the surprise. “I am sorry. I had to spoil it because that’s why I was not adding a veil to your head. You need to wear that crown and adjust the veil accordingly.”
I was stunned at the way Samuel was treating me. A crown? Again! It was like a reminder of the last time but in a positive light. Last time, the crown was snatched from me in public, leaving me humiliated.
“It is okay. I am glad you told me. I will prepare myself for such a big responsibility till then,” I held her hand and gave the back of her hand a reassuring pat
“Where is Turner?” I questioned. He had been in my mind when I was getting my makeup and hairstyle done.
“He told me he was coming upstairs to see you but he first needed to get some flowers,” Polline declared, ruining another surprise and making me pout at her, “Oops sorry! I don’t know what’s wrong with me today.”
“I guess you are very happy for me,” I acknowledged that she had a huge part in where I am today. If it wasn’t for her, my life would have been a disaster.
“I will go bring him-,” she paused when she watched the door open and Turner coming in. We were staying at a hotel near the venue so that we could get ready and be close to the venue at the same time.
Turner looked so good in that baby blue suit. He was like a charming little prince arriving with red roses to greet his mother.
“WOW! He paused dramatically and widened his eyes to express the shock he had received from seeing me, “you look so beautiful Uncle Samuel is one lucky man,” he added, and I couldn’t help but laugh at his words.
“Come here,” Thugged lum, feeling like these moments would only become better after my wedding to Samuel.
“You are the prettiest bride ever, Mom Turnier uttered in a very low voice. I don’t know what it was, but I felt like he was a bit sad. He only kept a happy face for me.
“Turner Tell me, what is it?” I couldn’t pretend like I had no clue anymore. Even if he thought the acknowledgment would be embarrassing for him. I would handle it

Chapter 75
“What? I am fine and happy, he smiled widely but only confirmed my suspicions.
701
“Turner! Remember what we said about being honest with each other?” I finally got a hesitant nod from him. I watched Polline frown in bewilderment because she hadn’t noticed anything odd about his behavior ever since he found out about the wedding.
“Where will I stay when you marry Uncle Samuel?” His question shocked me.
“You will stay with me. You are my son; I will never let you stay anywhere else,” I sat down on the sofa and brought him
closer.
“But would Uncle Samuel allow me to stay in your home?” His questions were just eating me alive.
“Turner, my home is your home. Don’t you ever think you will not have authority over the house where I am living.” I reminded him that, for me, he was my priority.
“That’s because I don’t want to go live with Dad,” he whispered, and it shocked me.
“Do you not like your father anymore?” I questioned out of sheer anticipation
“I do. I love Daddy, but I don’t like staying where you don’t live le pouted, and now I understood why he was asking me all these questions. He probably thought after getting married to Samuel I would send him back to his father’s house.
“Don’t v
I worry,
it will be your house too,” I said, and Polline took him to the side.
“Now! Let’s not talk about sad things anymore. Remember we have to go welcome the guests too?” Polline said to Turner, who finally smiled, and this time, his smile didn’t look forced. He was now satisfied with my responses.
“And I will bring the crown to you the minute Samuel arrives,” Polline said before walking out of the hotel room with Turner. I stood in front of the mirror and sighed at my reflection
‘Don’t worry, Samuel will take care of Turner, Nera was right. Samuel would do anything to make sure Turner doesn’t feel like he cannot call him his daddy. I still haven’t decided to tell Samuel that I don’t want to go live in his castle, but for now, will stay with him for a few days so that my son can enjoy some castle life.
As I was watching myself in the mirror, the door opened, and I realized it wasn’t Polline, but some man.
“Samuel! You are not supposed to see me yet,” I let out a cry, quickly turning around to complain, but soon I realized it wasn’t Samuel.
“Hunter! My name is Hunter,” he said, and my heart sank in my chest at his sudden and unannounced arrival.
