Chapter 60
Hunter:
“It was nice seeing everyone love him, but Reyna Pauline took a dramatic turn, and I could only imagine Reyna getting anxious about what was coming next. “Tara has been acting so weird,” she explained. “She brought him gifts and even decorated his room. Although Turner looked so scared of her, she was trying her best to talk with him, the fright in her voice made me wonder how Reyna must be taking that news.
“I know, right? I don’t know why Tara is doing that, but she could have just greeted him and left. But it’s like she is purposely trying to communicate with him. Maybe she wants him to believe she could be his stepmother, I don’t know. But our boy looked very frightened in her presence,” that part was true, and irked me as well. However, the fact that Pauline was describing the situation in the best way to frighten Reyna was perfect.
What are you thinking now? Net asked.
“We need to do something to make Reyna feel like Turner is not safe here until she is here. I mumbled.
So, you are going to scare Turner?’ I could hear the voice of disgust from him.
Absolutely not. But Reyna can feel that way. What if I try to push Tara and Turner to spend time together? While Reyna would be worried about Turner, I will make sure Turner overcomes his fear of Tara by giving him more importance over her. So far, everything was going as planned. If I wanted Reyna to come here willingly, I must play all my cards very strategically. One mistake, I can blow up this whole mission.
“Tara!” I began to walk downstairs loudly so that Pauline gets alert. And she did, she quickly hung up on Reyna and smiled at me. “Have you seen Tara?” 1 approached her, looking around and fixing my suit.
“She went to the kitchen, why?” she asked me in bewilderment.
“I have been waiting for her to come upstairs. It is the perfect time that she gets along with Turner, I pretended to have not. noticed the dread in her eyes.
“Maybe it’s better that they don’t,” I looked down at her face after she made her comment, so she quickly explained her hostility. “Turner seems scared of her. After the office incident, I don’t think he feels comfortable around her at all,” she quickly explained, and I gave a huge nod to my head, as if I was trying to understand her point.
“Which is exactly why they need to spend time together,” I shrugged, pouting sweetly. “Look! He will be coming here to live with me for four days every week. Sometimes even more, as soon as I added that part, her eyes grew double their size.
“So, Reyna will get to live without seeing him for weeks?” I could hear the dread in her voice. She could expect Reyna to go. crazy at that plan already. I did too. That’s why I made it, “Sadly yes! And then when Tara and I go on vacations, we will bring Turner along. Or when I go to the office, Turner will be left behind with Tara,” every single time I said anything that mentioned Tara and Turner being together in a house, Pauline seemed genuinely scared, as if Tara was some monster who would consume my son’s happiness. Well, what they didn’t know was that even if she wanted to, I wouldn’t let her. There is no way I would let anyone larm my child again.
“Oh Pauline gasped. “So they need to get along” I added and then spotted Tara behind her.
“There you are babe As I held my arm up to give her a gentle tag, I found her lost in confusion. Once I stepped back from her. I watched her eyes light up “You look so happy she whispered. I bet she thought I was being sweet to her because she decanted my son’s room The reality was going to be very better for her
мани
“That because I am. Why don’t you get some snacks and followme upstairs? I want us to spend some quality time together like a family, my male gave her hopes. I swear she was so predictable, unlike Reyna It was so hard to get to her brain and know what she was danking But Taral She was easy and also stup
But I don’t thank Toner kry me very much He didn’t ever thank me the way she pouted and complained, I would have baralyster down at Paine was around But so I had make sure I wasnt off track. I had to pretend to care.

“Hey! That’s not true. I will tell him to show respect to you, okay? After all, you are his new mother now,” I gave her another slight hug before snapping my fingers at her and reminding her that I will be waiting for the snacke
upstairs. “Come quick.” I voiced, passing Pauline and giving her a smile as well.
The way Pauline seemed so frozen and then rushed to the side to dial someone’s number, I could already suspect what was going on and who she was calling. Reyna would now not be able to spend one minute with Samuel without thinking about her son. If she thought I would let her have a happily ever after, he was wrong.
I waited for the Moon goddess to make Reyna feel guilty and come apologizing to me. But that didn’t happen. I was a fool to leave her at the mercy of karma. Now I will be her karma. I will keep her around and make sure she suffers every day. I am the only one who can punish her the way she deserves, I hissed, shaking my head at how easily the Moon Goddess gave her a second chance mate as if Reyna had respected her first decision of hers.
After I returned to Turner, we spent time chatting about his school and toys. However, the moment Tara arrived, Turner shut down. Each time he acted that way, I felt my veins heating up. It convinced me that whatever he claimed happened in the office wasn’t an exaggeration. If that was indeed true, then Thra was on the list of people who were going to see a side of me they had never expected.
“That’s enough; I’m not that hungry. Turner shyly set the plate down and kept his head down.
Tara, you can go rest now.” Although I wanted her around for the sake of a show I was putting on for appearances, making my son go through trauma wasn’t my plan. So I made the decision to tone it down a bit. Tara looked at me and then at Turner before nodding and walking out of the room.
“Turner, you don’t need to be afraid of anyone, okay? I am here for you. If anyone upsets you, come straight to me.” I gently ran my hands through his hair, comforting him.
“But would you even believe me?” I knew why he asked that question. It made me feel ashamed of myself, but I still painted a smile on my lips and tried to stay positive for him.
“I will,” I closed my eyes, placing his hand on my chest, “you can trust me.” Turner smiled before he pointed and sighed. “T wish mommy could be here with us.” My muscles stiffened as I heard my son wish the same thing I had been planning to do but for different reasons.
“Hmm! Do you mean it?” I inquired, and he nodded.
“What if I tell you that there is a way to bring mommy here?” I sat on his bed, nudging his elbow.
“Is it possible? 1 mean, I will be so happy,” the beautiful smile on his lips made me nod in acknowledgment.
“I promise you that I will bring your mother here very soon. But let’s keep this to be our secret, okay?” I pulled my hand out and he placed his hand on it, promising me.
“In the meanwhile, umm, you can call your mother tonight and ask her to sleep on a video call with you. I knew I was being strategic, but I had my reasons. She cannot move on. Not yet!
“Really?” Turner obviously didn’t know that was possible, but that is exactly what we were going to do.
“Yes, I am sure she is missing you,” I gave him a smile as I grabbed my phone and handed it over to him. I wouldn’t leave Reyna alone with Samuel at any cost.
