Chapter 255

• "Your mission?" Regina couldn't help but smile at Sophia nod of confirmation. "You don't have to do that, Sophia."

Not even caring that her own daughter was brutally beaten and raped every single day." A tear slips past Sophia's cheek that Regina quickly wipes away as she's shedding tears of her own.
