Chapitre 136: Past - 68

"I am no one's slave."

The strength of Regina's voice reverberated off the walls, amplifying in his ears.

"I may be a prisoner, but I am not a slave. You can try to do whatever you want to me, but I will fight back every single time. When you least expect it, I will kill you.

She was not afraid of him. She was not afraid of his men. She would get her retribution one way or another.

"I am a man of my word."

"You are a criminal. A kidnapper. A rapist. Your word means a rat-crap to me."
