Sorry for Your Loss, It's Me, I'm the Loss novel Chapter 500

Her mother was sobbing, demanding to know why she would kill people, screaming that she was just like her father—an animal, a demon.

Stella looked at her tear-streaked mother, her mind flashing back to their meeting six months prior.

After suffering endless abuse, Stella had escaped to the city where her mother lived.

She saw her mother taking her little sister to school, carrying her backpack for her, gently reminding her to study hard and eat well.

But when her mother turned and saw her, her eyes first showed shock, then annoyance as she asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Mom..." Stella's voice choked. She wanted to throw herself into her mother's arms, to tell her about all the pain and suffering she had endured, but her mother had no patience for it.

Her mother grabbed her hand urgently, roughly pulling her away.

"Alright, you came all this way, you must be hungry. I'll take you to get something to eat, then you need to go back right away."

Her mother dragged her to a nearby diner.

Stella sat at the table, watching her mother order. She had planned to tell her mother during the meal about the abuse, to ask if she could come live with her.

But after ordering, her mother just stuffed some money into her hand, said she had to get to work or she'd be late, and then rushed off.

Stella finally realized that from the moment her parents divorced, she had not only lost her father, but she no longer had a mother either.

In the end, Stella was sent back to her father's house.

Her father was furious about her escape attempt and whipped her brutally with a leather strap, calling her a cheap slut, just like her mother.

Stella was beaten to within an inch of her life. No one took her to the hospital. No one even gave her any food.

At that moment, she thought she was going to die. Death would have been a release.
