The wedding (3)

"I always knew you would be a beautiful bribe and I prayed on it endlessly that you would get married before me to anger my mother. I hope she is looking up at this moment and screaming her lungs out," said Regina.

Not knowing the family dynamic, Jane and Cherry looked at Regina.

"She's my mother but she wasn't that good of a person to be looking down at us. I can be honest with where they all ended up," Regina clarified for the two women. "My family should all be in the world below getting punished. It is what they deserve. I had envisioned Samuel would be here on your wedding day."

"Have you heard from him?" Aurora asked.

"No," Regina shook her head. "It is for the best that he doesn't send any letters or return now. The town is a mess trying to figure out what happened. Timothy took me to the town guards to show that I am alive. We haven't mentioned Samuel yet."
