Chapter 120
Reyna Cruz:
“That’s enough, it felt like he was brainwashing me into admitting that I was the kind of person he was describing me as I knew myself, and 1 had made it clear to him even before saying yes to him that I would always prioritize Turner. But in no way did I defend Polline’s murderer. I just didn’t want to punish someone innocent and then regret it later.
“Why? Can’t you handle the truth anymore?” He scoffed, standing in front of me with his arms folded over his chest.
“Is that how you always felt about me? The minute I posed that question. I watched his face change colors. He was probably realizing what he did and said was uncalled for. Heck! He even went on to manhandle me when his words couldn’t cause me enough damage.
“Well, I’m sorry that I didn’t bow down to you like always when hurt about losing Polline,” he hissed, the bitterness in his tone making things even worse.
Don’t you dare give me that speech again. You hadn’t even known her for more than a few months. In fact, you only hecame close to her when we decided to get married. Eve known her and loved her. I was worried for her. She was in your community, and you couldn’t promise her security even when your rogues were bullying her for being associated with me. What happened then, huh? Why couldn’t you ask your rogues to lay off? Even when they attacked me, why did you make it about Hunter and yourself?” I was finally opening up, and as I said it out loud. I was realizing a few things
I’ve been a fool for not questioning the happenings around me. They would deceive me and lie to me, but then I would forgive them as if it was nothing.
“Are you seriously turning that against me?” he scoffed again, looking so cocky that I couldn’t believe I had fallen for this
man
“Samuel Don’t act like you haven’t led to me before. You convinced me so well that Hunter lied about your healing.” I watched his face stiffen as I called him out and then you brought up Hunter killing the rogue kids without explaining to me how so many rogues arrived at the location of the battle so quickly? And why the heck did they bring kide” I watched him lower his head and clench his jaw.
“So you think I am lying and that those kids were not killed?” he directed the conversation to a more obvious direction
“How do I know they were killed in that battle?” As soon as I asked that, the frown on his face got replaced with a look of shock and almost realization.
“Who was that couple that attacked me, Sam?” I asked, and he frowned.
“Some rogue followers who thought I would want that,” he replied, looking stern as I questioned him. It was a wonder how quickly he got offended, but I didn’t when he had accused me of worse stuff.
“And you did nothing about it? Were they held accountable for their actions because if I remember correctly, they were the ones who started it.” I watched him as I questioned him. He was now just staring at my face, probably having many thoughts as I could tell he kept opening and closing his mouth as if he had something to say.
“What are you trying to say? That I didn’t do anything to those who hurt you?” he hissed after not being able to come up with a better response. That had become his habit, where he would clench his jaw and yell at me instead of answering me properly.
“Samuel!” I closed my eyes and groaned, “what about the man who hurt my son? Why did he do that?” I watched his jaw hang low as if it was some unexpected subject to be brought up.
“I tried looking for him and couldn’t find him. Why are you asking me these obnoxious questions? I did look for him, and you know that. It’s like you’re bringing up whatever just so that you can shut my mouth, he made me narrow my eyes at
him.

“Those are obnoxious concerns? Somebody attacked my son, and it seemed planned and intentional, and you think me worrying about that guy not being found till now is me asking obnoxious questions?” I was in shock at the way he had changed his behavior in just a matter of days.
I get it that he was hurt that I left him behind and abandoned him at the altar, but he was making weird claims and accusations against Hunter, and then when I questioned him, he seemed upset with me.
63%
“All those things relate to the rogue community being unsafe, that was my conclusion. I had thought it through and realized that all my worries came from me being in the rogue community. And remembering that couple who attacked me, it became pretty obvious to me that others would come out to attack me as well.
“Oh, so you are finally admitting–” once he gave me that taunting smirk, I knew I had to shut him up.
“I am not listening to whatever you have to say. I will find out the truth about Polline’s demise on my own. I don’t need to talk to you anymore because apparently, you think I am this horrible person and that I should just blindly blame Hunter for everything.” I was finally done here. In fact, I should have left the minute I woke up because my son must have been worried sick about me.
I grabbed my phone and walked past him but noticed that he didn’t really try to stop me. I was glad he didn’t because then he would have made some more arguments again.
I had only reached the exit and stepped out when I saw a number of rogues standing outside the gate with weapons in their hands.
They all stood upright when they saw me. It seemed threatening I retraced my steps slowly, watching them all stand ready.
What the heck is going on?” I asked Nera, but she remained silent for now.
1 hastily marched back and ran towards the living room where Sunuel was now comfortably sitting on his sofa, watching TV.
“Bring me breakfast, please, he yelled for his maid, who I didn’t know was in the mansion, in fact, in his big castle.
“There are rogues outside the castle,” I said, and he turned to look at me in surprise, as if he didn’t expect me to return.
“Huh?” he frowned.
“Samuel, there is a gang of rogues outside your castle with weapons,” I repeated myself, but this time, I gave more information. He quickly jumped off his couch and marched ahead of me to inspect what I was talking about.
Once at the main gate, he frowned at the number of rogues there
“What is going on here? Why are you gathered around here?” he yelled, sounding annoyed.
“We want her,” one of the old men came out and demanded, pointing his arrow at me. My body:
y stiffened, and I straightened my back to show him that I won’t let them make demands regarding me.
“What the heck are you saying?” Sam’s tone changed, his body moved a little as he squared up.
“We understand that she is your mate and that you love her. But her existence has brought sorrow upon us. We have lost lives, Your Highness. We won’t sit silently until we get revenge, the old man continued, and the others agreed with him, nodding their heads to every word he spoke venomously.
“And you think I would hand her over to you?” The mockery in Samuel’s voice for these people for thinking he would hand me over to them without any questions asked was visible.
“We understand it won’t be easy for you, but it needs to be done. She has been–very unfortunate for us,” the old man lowered his head to bow down before Sam to show him that he was not trying to disrespect him before he looked up again, and his mood changed when his eyes landed on me.
