Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Claire was knocked senseless, dazed for what felt like an eternity.

Once she gathered her wits, she scrambled back to her feet and charged at Cecil, eyes blazing, neck strained as she shouted,

"You think you're tough? Then finish me off! Do it! If you don't, you're nothing but a coward! Come on, kill me!"

Claire seemed unhinged, her eyes red with fury as she advanced step by step towards Cecil.

The crowd at the casino stopped laughing, their brows furrowing in concern.

Someone called out,

"Cecil, you better get her out of here. Looks like she's got a death wish. Don't let her drag us down with her!"

Cecil too noticed that Claire was not her usual self today!

With a dark look, he gritted his teeth, grabbed Claire by the arm, and headed for the exit.

Maria hurried after them, her body weak. She hadn't run far before she tripped and fell.

No one showed sympathy, no one helped her up. The little girl, trembling, picked herself up and continued to chase after her parents.

But she hadn't gone far before she fell again, this time hurting her knee badly.

Cradling her mouth, she whimpered, "Daddy, Mommy..."

No one responded; she could only try to stand up on her own, but she couldn't muster the strength.
