She’s Back, and Hell’s Coming with Her novel Chapter 3

She could still hear the voices from back then, echoing in her mind.

"Who would've guessed the Sutton family's eldest daughter could be so ruthless? She killed her brother, Caleb Sutton's fiancée out of jealousy, terrified that once he had Stella, he’d no longer care about her."-

"Absolutely vicious! She burned Stella alive!"

"She was never a good person. Always jealous of Celine, who outshone her in every way. In school, she’d even gang up with others to bully Celine. But since she was the long-lost daughter the Suttons finally found, no one dared expose her true nature."

"Stella was about to become her sister-in-law, but she still couldn’t stand her. What a shameless woman. She deserves the death penalty."

"A life for a life! She murdered someone, she should pay the price…"

In the courtroom, everyone hurled accusations and curses at her.

Sabrina’s eyes were hollow, filled with despair, as she looked at the faces in the crowd.

Her parents.

Her sister.

Her fiancé.

Her best friend.

The people she trusted most…

All stood atop their moral high ground, denouncing her every crime. Her mother wept as she begged Sabrina to die, blaming her for ruining her sister’s future.

Again and again, Sabrina pleaded her innocence. She insisted she hadn’t killed anyone, that it was Celine—Celine was the real murderer.

But the evidence was overwhelming; not a single person believed her. They said she was slandering her pure-hearted sister even in the face of irrefutable proof. The Suttons couldn’t possibly have such a wicked daughter.

Those who feared her, condemned her. Those who once loved her, now wished only for her death.

…

Night fell.

A black sedan pulled up next to an overflowing dumpster. Several burly men got out, swiftly throwing a sack over the sleeping woman curled up on the ground and dragging her into the car.

Half-conscious, Sabrina heard a chillingly familiar voice.

"Dearest sister, I never thought you’d get out so soon. I came just for you. Time to take you home and let you enjoy your new life."

"Oh, right, I almost forgot to mention—everyone you ever cared about is dead. Dead!"

When she first arrived, she and a dozen other women were locked in a bare room, stripped of every scrap of dignity.

For women brought here, the first fate was always the same: to be forced beneath men, again and again.

Sabrina had fought with everything she had, even biting through her own tongue in a desperate attempt to die.

Her tongue was severed, but she didn’t die.

They dragged her into a pitch-black room and beat her within an inch of her life, torturing her mercilessly.

She begged for death, but her captors refused to let her escape so easily.

Their leader told her that someone was paying a fortune just to keep her alive, so she could suffer the worst torments this hellhole could offer. He boasted that every month, that person sent them a million dollars to make sure Sabrina stayed alive, no matter what happened to her.

She knew exactly who they meant. Who else could it be but Celine?

Celine wanted to grind her dignity into the dirt, to keep her suffering forever.

“You got what you wanted, Celine.”

Eventually, Sabrina contracted HIV. When the men looked at her with disgust and hatred, Sabrina could only laugh.
