"Good morning. How was it sleeping in my bedroom?"
"The same as sleeping in any other bedroom. I have a question. Where did the clothes your maid brought come from? Were they left here by one of the previous women you had in your bed?" Regina asked as she sat down at the dining room table.
Timothy sat at the end of one side of the table while Regina sat at the other.
"I am not stupid to put you in something worn by another woman. I know you would have my head. I sent someone to get clothes for you last night. Looks like they fit perfectly," Timothy said as he inspected every inch of the dress Regina wore.
"So there are women who spent the night here. Strike one dear Timothy," Regina held up one finger. "I am upset I laid my head where you have taken other women." freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
"I feel like I am actually one strike twenty. No one has ever been in my room, Regina. I prefer to keep it private and not bring all kinds of people to lay on my bed. You are never certain of where they have been and what type of energy they can bring to your bed," said Timothy.
"So the guest room is where you take them? Where are you trying to beat around the bush Timothy? I do not care about who you dated before me. Just make sure there is no one else in your life besides me. I already gave you the option and you should remember how that conversation went."
Timothy didn’t understand why their conversation had gone this route. He wondered if Regina had taken more interest in him than she realized and now she was curious about who had been in his home.
"So, we are definitely still getting married?" He wanted to confirm now that she had some time to herself last night to think about everything.
"Of course. Why on earth would I let got of a man where I can do all kinds of things and he still continues to like-"
"Love," Timothy corrected her. His feelings were beyond just liking her.
"Love," Regina rolled her eyes. "Anyway, out of all the poor saps in this town, I can coexist with you plus, you know my secret. You could have tried to kill me last night or have the palace guards waiting for me this morning."
"Tried?" Timothy chuckled. She made it sound like it would have been a failed attempt. Although he was mostly a businessman these days, he was still a good fighter.
"I didn’t stutter. Anyway, thank you. You have been helpful in the last few days and with Aurora gone, you are the only person I view as a friend. When I was in danger last night, you were the only one I thought to run to. I am going to let go of the bad we shared as children and open my heart to you a little bit."
"That is the best news I have heard all morning. Now, unto other news. I had someone watch your home last night and your family is well aware you are missing. I take it you do not wish for them to know your location. They visit here looking for you and I will have to let them in to not be suspicious."
If Regina’s family knew she was here, they had every right to take her back home as she was not married. No one could know Regina was staying with a man she was not yet married to.
"I can bet my right hand we will be expecting a visit from Samuel and he will try looking through all corners in your home. Please stay home today," Regina kindly asked.
"How can I not stay home when a beautiful woman is here? What are your plans long term? We have to get married at some point in public and you cannot run away from your family forever. How long do you plan to be here?"
"I won’t be here too long. I need a little time to plan how I am going to get rid of my family," Regina tapped her chin as she thought about it. It would be much harder now that she wasn’t in the same house as them and she left the witch book in her bedroom. Minnie might have found it by now if she tore down the bedroom looking for secrets.
"Get rid as in kill them?" Timothy did not know it was that serious. He thought she only wanted to make the house belong to her. "Can I know why you are set on killing your family?"
"They are horrible people who stole many things. The Hamilton name should fade away and be given back to the original owners. With my family dead and my marriage to you, the name will be gone. They are taking children off the street into the mountains. Those children will be killed if we do not move quickly," Regina revealed a bit of her family’s intentions to Timothy.
Killing her family wasn’t just about her and Aurora. There were children who needed to be saved and if her family were to somehow get Aurora back in their grasp, more children would be killed in the future.
Timothy sat up upon hearing this. This entire time, no one knew how dangerous the Hamiltons actually were. It was no wonder why the previous king was so terrified.
Timothy visited the Hamilton house several times and they were even in his parents’ house. To think all this time he had been around witches who were taking children. This matter was more serious than he thought. He needed to help save the children but at the same time, he needed to protect Regina.
If the town was to learn the Hamiltons were witches, they would want all of them to be burned. This was a matter he needed to take care of secretly along with Regina.
"Tell me everything you know about your family and what they planned to do," he asked Regina.
