Now They Want My Forgiveness - Chapter 333: Chapter 333

Someone saw it and stomped hard on her hand, grinding it mercilessly. The pain was so sharp that tears nearly sprang to Stella's eyes. But she didn't let out a single sound.
Finally, the bossy woman finished her cigarette. She looked at Stella, who was too beaten to fight back, and grinned. "You've got guts, not even a peep out of you.
"You never did anything to me, but hey, I take money, I do the job. As long as you're stuck in here, my girls are gonna make your life hell every single day."
Stella slowly lifted her head. "How much did she pay you? I'll pay you triple whatever she gave you!"
The bossy woman burst out laughing. "Triple, huh? Sounds tempting, but come on, who knows if you'll ever get out of here? How am I supposed to believe you can actually pay me that kind of money?"
"Can you contact anyone on the outside?" Stella asked.
The bossy woman sat there and said casually, "You trying to pay me off?"
"That's right. Just help me get a message to someone, and he'll make sure you get paid," Stella said.
The bossy woman laughed. "You think I'm an idiot? Like I don't know you want me to snitch for you? If word gets out I laid a hand on you, they'll skin me alive. Take my advice, just keep your head down and stay put."
Stella hadn't expected her to be this wary. It was not like she was going to hurt that woman or anything. She just wanted the woman to help her get in touch with Jordan, and honestly, she was ready to make a real deal.
"How can I prove I'm not lying to you?" Stella asked.
"This is the first time we've ever met. Why should I believe you'd keep your word?" the bossy woman shot back.
Stella locked eyes with her. The bossy woman looked away and turned to the others. "Keep an eye on her. The higher-ups said as long as we torture her to death, we'll get our reward."
The others replied, "Got it."
The bossy woman walked off. Stella knew this woman was her only hope, so she kept shouting for her, but it was useless. The woman didn't even look back. She didn't even have time to think before another round of beating began.
Stella's body had only just started to recover, so she didn't stand a chance against these women. They were nothing like anyone she'd dealt with before. It was obvious these women were used to doing this kind of thing in prison.
Just then, she heard more footsteps. Stella thought maybe help had finally arrived. After all, there were guards in the prison, and surely they wouldn't ignore all this noise.
But she was wrong. She heard the leader of them say, "Who's this?"
"Newcomer. Stella Hayes, I think that's her name," the bossy woman replied.
"Seriously, who the hell is she? Did someone put you up to this, too?" the leader asked.
"Wait, you guys got sent after her, too?" the bossy woman said.
"Yeah, just don't mess her up too bad or there'll be nothing left for us to play with," the leader sneered.
"Whatever, we're done here. She's all yours now," the bossy woman said.
With that, the first group left, and the new group stepped in. They didn't start right away. Instead, they just stood there, eyeing Stella and making tsk-tsk sounds.
The leader said, "Damn, you really got messed up, huh? You know, there are two queen bees in this place: me, and the leader of the crew that just left.
"Anyone who ends up in here knows better than to cross either of us. But you? You actually managed to get on both our bad sides at the same time."
Stella was sprawled on the floor, still breathing, just barely. She'd always been a fighter, stubborn to the core. She thought, 'If that one wouldn't make a deal, then this one just might.'
She tried to crawl closer to the leader and said, "Help... Help me..."
Before she could finish, one of the woman's crew kicked her hard, sending her sprawling.
