Unspoken Desires

19.) War Freak

The living room is a whirlwind of activity, scattered toys, and the sound of playful giggles.

Cheska, exhausted but determined, navigates through the chaos, trying to keep up with the energy of the three small children in her care: Stacy, Scarlett, and Chloe.

Stacy yelled, 'Cheska, look what I made!"

Stacy proudly presents a colorful drawing, and Cheska forces a smile, even though her eyelids droop with fatigue.

Cheska fakes a smile, 'That's amazing, Stacy! You're such a talented artist."

Scarlett tugs at Cheska's sleeve, "Cheska, can we play dress-up now?"

Cheska glances at the clock, realizing they still have a long day ahead of them.

"Sure, Scarlett, but let's clean up the toys first, okay?"

Chloe toddles over, her arms outstretched, wanting to be picked up. Cheska obliges, lifting Chloe into her arms.

Chloe giggled, "Up, up!"

Cheska smiles, feeling a surge of love for the children in her care, despite her exhaustion.

"Up we go, little one."

She carries Chloe toward the toy box, juggling the weight of the toddler with the responsibility of tidying up.

As Cheska tries to tidy up, Stacy and Scarlett pull out dress-up clothes from the overflowing toy chest. They excitedly put on princess dresses, twirling and giggling with delight.

"I'm Princess Stacy of the Magical Kingdom!"

Scarlett joins in, "And I'm Princess Scarlett, the bravest princess in all the land!"

Cheska watches them with a mixture of pride and weariness, trying her best to keep up with their enthusiasm.

"You two make such beautiful princesses. Now, let's find some crowns to complete your royal outfits."

She rummages through a bin of accessories, her eyes heavy with exhaustion but her determination unwavering.

Cheska then received a message which is said that her working mother is being posted in social media as a dark humor meme.

And she was disgusted when people laughed at the dark humored meme about Martha being forced inside a luggage.

Cheska fumes in anger, no one should treat someone like this.

She saw the one who posted, 'Mack Adams' she stalked the profile and realized that she just lived in the same area as her.

Cheska burst into Mack Adam's apartment, her face twisted in rage. She had seen the scandalous meme Mack had posted online and was determined to make her pay.

Mack was sitting on the couch, scrolling through her phone, when Cheska stormed in. She looked up in surprise, but before she could say anything, Cheska had already crossed the room and was standing in front of her.

"How dare you post that meme!" she shouted. "Do you have any idea how much damage it could do to my mother's reputation?"

"AND WHO ARE YOU?! I'M CALLING THE COPS!"

Mack tried to contact the cops, but Cheska was too angry to listen. She grabbed her by the collar and started to shake her.

"I'm going to make sure you never do something like this again!" she yelled.

Mack was too stunned to fight back.

Cheska had been pushed to her limit and was ready to take out her anger on him.

Mack was taken aback by Cheska's sudden aggression and tried to back away, but it was too late.

Cheska grabbed her by the collar and slammed her against the wall. She then proceeded to punch her in the face, over and over again.

Mack was too stunned to fight back and could only take the beating. She felt her face swell up and his lip split open as Cheska continued to pummel her.

"FUCK YOU, STOP THIS! STOP THIS!"

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Cheska stopped and stepped back. She looked at Mack with a satisfied smirk.

Mack was left standing there, bruised and battered, but still alive.

Cheska laid a finger at her, "Delete the luggage meme you made about my mother, or you would be surprised that you ended up in a luggage as well!"

Mack breathes in fright, nodding hurriedly full of anxiety as she watches Cheska leave.
