To Win
Timothy is not inclined to cheat after he dates Maria. Other women were basically like paintings to him. Even if he viewed them as pretty or beautiful, he never felt romantically or sexually attracted to them. It was very odd to a lot of people.
Timothy went to work one day, and at work, he met a girl named Charlotte. She was a very beautiful woman, but Charlotte was not interested in him, and, to be honest, he wasn't interested in Charlotte either.
Charlotte possesses a light brown complexion and features short, straight brown hair. Her eyes are hazel and relatively small, giving her a distinctive gaze. She stands tall, with a fairly muscular build and a narrow frame, presenting a unique and balanced appearance.
Timothy's job was rather unconventional. He didn't run an ordinary cleaning service involving the usual claw apparatus. Instead, he worked in the clothing department of a unique service called "Special Cleaners." The building had a harvest theme and sported cool, contrasting colors.
This unique service had its laundry detergent, a concoction of peroxide, isopropyl alcohol, regular laundry detergent (containing a higher concentration of peroxide), Lysol, body wash, dish soap, hand soap, hand sanitizer, and crushed Dove bar soap.
When Timothy felt too tired to clean something, all the workers were allowed to simply toss it into a washer, add the special concoction, and start the machine. However, their primary duty was manual cleaning. Timothy's job involved dipping the items in isopropyl alcohol, leaving them immersed for a full minute, and then either placing them in the dryer or the washer. He would add the concoction, let it work its magic, and then proceed to the drying process.
Originally, this method was devised for cleaning teddy bears. However, some people at the job began using it for clothes as well. The reason behind this was their concern about washing teddy bears. To address this, they started dipping the teddies in isopropyl alcohol in the toy department. Following the alcohol dip, they would then either put the teddy bears in a dryer or use a blow dryer to complete the cleaning process.
Charlotte had a boyfriend at home, and she was insecure about her looks. She asked Timothy, "Do I look pretty?" Timothy replied, "Yeah, you do," and then he went on with his day, continuing to do his job.
Charlotte's boyfriend, Carter, was verbally abusive and always made her feel ugly. This situation made her feel vindicated that she was, in fact, pretty.
When Timothy went home, he found Maria inside his dorm room. The problem was that they were not roommates, and Timothy didn't have a roommate. Timothy had no idea how she got into his dorm room because he always kept it locked when he left for work. He didn't mind much, however, and he just asked her, "How did you get into my dorm?"
Timothy wasn't even angry; he laughed. He found it oddly amusing that she had broken into his dorm room. Maria was looking at the pictures and asked him "Why don't you take pictures of us together?" Timothy replied, "You never asked me to."
Maria didn't like this; he instantly offended her, but she didn't verbalize it. His dorm had pictures of his mother, Sharon. She picked up one and showed it to him, asking, "Who is this?" Timothy replied, "She's my mom." Maria asked, "Why is her picture in your room but not mine?" Timothy replied, "I see you daily, not my mom."
Maria felt insecure and asked, "Why is she more important to you?" She was confused as to why a man would value his mother, who raised him for years, more than his girlfriend, whom he had known for only a month.
Timothy said, "I love you very much, but, you know, she's my mom." Maria, a young adult in college, became jealous of Timothy's mother and insisted, "Take all the pictures down." He responded, "No, why would I do that? Let's just take a selfie."
Little did he know that her jealousy was about to be compounded with envy, disgust, and rage. Charlotte, a friend of Maria's in college, called her phone. Maria answered it and threw his mother's photo on the floor, stepping on it as she walked out of the room. Outside Timothy's dorm, Charlotte explained, "At work, I met Timothy, and he was nice. I was struggling with my self-image, so I asked him if I looked pretty, and he told me yeah. I'm scared that he's lying, though. Do you think he's lying?" Maria became jealous and asked, "Did he say anything else?" Charlotte replied, "Nope, he went back to work."
Maria left the dorm to her dorm and tore up all of Charlotte's photos.
Maria texted Timothy, saying, "You're such a jerk! Why'd you have to call my friend 'pretty'? Are you cheating on me or what?"
Timothy texted her, "What are you talking about? Charlotte? I just said she looked pretty, it's no big deal. Are you okay, babe?" To Maria, it was a huge deal. She sent angry messages, filled with vulgar language and even death threats to Timothy and Charlotte. She even told Charlotte, "If you ever see Timothy again, I swear, I'll hook up with your boyfriend."
Charlotte texted her, "What is your problem? You wouldn't do that, would you?"
Maria texted, "You enticed my boyfriend to think you were pretty so that you could steal him away, who wouldn't cheat with the boyfriend of a friend who betrayed them? Who wouldn't cheat on the guy who cheated on me? You made my boyfriend think you're pretty just to lure him away, huh? Betraying a friend like that, You acted all pretty to tempt my boyfriend and steal him from me. Why not cheat on the guy who cheated on me, right? Who wouldn't cheat on a guy who cheated on me?"
Charlotte texted, "I understand you're upset, but I promise you I never had any intention of stealing your boyfriend. Like, seriously, you're the one betraying me by threatening to cheat with my boyfriend. Ugh, I don't even get why you'd want to do that just 'cause of whatever happened with your boyfriend, 'cause I swear I never even touched your guy. 🙄💁♀️"
Charlotte's decision to block Maria left her furious. She thought, "How dare she block me after trying to take my man!" Maria deleted Charlotte's number from her phone, feeling overwhelmed with emotion.
The following day, Maria's jealousy and possessiveness escalated. She impulsively broke into Timothy's dorm room while he was quietly reading the comics in the "Foodies" newspaper he had picked up from the store. Maria burst through the door, startling him and causing him to jump from the bed. Her actions left Timothy bewildered as she proceeded to tear up all the photos of his mother, Sharon. She shouted at him, "Take a photo of ME and put it on your wall! Why do you have her on the wall?"
Maria saw Timothy's tattered clothing and said to him "Like, why do you even wear that!? You need to, like, get a real job and stop talking to other girls! You can't see your sister, your mom, your family, or anything!"
Maria's situation worsened as her body image plummeted into deep insecurity. Her past experiences, particularly the abuse she endured from her ex-boyfriend, Jim, had left her with an intense fear of losing men to other women and a profound concern about her looks.
Maria would harass other women with whom her boyfriend spoke. In her own time, she worked hard to make herself the pinnacle of beauty, and people would comment on her appearance all the time, leading her to change herself excessively.
Her mom suggested that she lose weight, and she did. Her father wanted her to gain weight, so she did it intentionally. During a casual conversation about what they liked in each other, Timothy told her that he thought she'd look nice with bluer eyes. In response, she got eye contact. When he asked, "Why did you put in contacts? You don't need contacts; you looked fine the way you were, and those may hurt your eyes," Maria took it as him not liking them. In reality, he just thought they were bad for her eyes.
Maria slapped him for saying that, to which he responded, "What the heck?" Maria told him off, saying, "You told me to get them." This is incorrect; he only told her that he thought she'd look nicer with bluer eyes, but he never expected her to change her eyes for him.
Maria then saw his nice shirt and said "What the heck? You're ugly, you should have sold that shirt and bought a new face."
Maria ran off and took out her contacts, thinking "People want so much from me that I can't handle it." Maria considered plastic surgery but knew it'd cost so much and so many people told her such conflicting things about herself, she couldn't understand why people don't agree on one appearance that they like.
Maria ran to Timothy and told him "You deserve to die for what you said to me." Timothy was very confused. Maria shoved him so hard that he hit the ground in utter confusion, he was speechless and asked "What is wrong with you?" But, she couldn't see what he meant by that; he was commenting on her personality, she thought he was commenting on her looks and kicked him, yelling, "I'm not ugly, you jerk❗"
Timothy got up while she was kicking him to get away, so she stepped on his back. It made her feel good to get revenge on him. He fell under the weight of her foot. She was more muscular than him, and he was incredibly skinny, so she was stronger than him.
Maria kicked him some more. She believed that he deserved it. She was proud of herself and loved the feeling of Timothy, whom she saw as a jerk, going down and feeling the punishment of calling Charlotte pretty, despite the fact that he never intended to cheat on her nor did he feel attracted to Charlotte in any way.
Timothy screamed, "Maria, calm down, I'm not cheating on you❗" Maria then berated his appearance and began to force him to dress down. He only dressed up for Maria, but she believed that he might attract other females.
Maria ended up taking on a modeling job, she spiraled further downhill. Maria was still in college so that she could get another job if she got canned as a model.
In the enigmatic world Maria navigated, a striking figure emerged from the shadows –
Maria's instant envy was concealed in the subtle facade of her emotions. While Alicia's allure might have appeared ordinary to others, in Maria's eyes, it exuded an almost overwhelming beauty.
A disquieting transformation overcame Maria. Little did anyone suspect, but behind Alicia's modeling persona lay an ordinary existence – grocery shopping, household chores, tending to her appearance, relishing park visits with children, and forming friendships across societal divides. This mundane aspect of her life unwittingly led to an encounter with Timothy, further stoking Maria's possessive nature.
Maria and Timothy visited the playground, where Timothy's delight in the swings was evident. Even though Timothy was an adult, curious children approached him, asking why he was there. Timothy simply responded, "I like it here; the childhood joys still bring me happiness." The children happily joined in the play.
The scene was observed by attentive mothers and relaxed fathers. However, Maria's intense gaze never left Timothy, and she refrained from swinging herself. An unsettling aura surrounded her as she kept a vigilant watch over him.
Maria's jealousy began to simmer, and she abruptly instructed the others to leave, saying, "Go home." Mia, one of the mothers, inquired, "Who should go home?" To which Maria retorted, "All of you. You believe you can steal my boyfriend, don't you? You ladies desire a college boy while despising your mundane husbands, don't you?" An unsettling tension lingered in the air as Maria's words hung ominously.
Maria confronted the woman with a sharp edge to her words, saying, "You're all so quick to chase any man you lay eyes on, yet I'm the one branded as crazy? Timothy, you need to see, that they want you, but you act like I'm the problem, which is why I can't leave you be!"
Mia, visibly frustrated, replied, "I'm married, not interested in your boyfriend." She tried to brush it off despite her anger. Meanwhile, Timothy engaged with the kids, discussing college life. However, when Alicia appeared, Maria's jealousy erupted like a storm on the horizon, casting an ominous shadow over the scene.
Timothy found himself shackled by Maria's overbearing presence, forbidden from venturing alone. The mere proximity of the captivating Alicia sent shivers of jealousy down Maria's spine, compelling her to snatch Timothy away before any interaction could transpire.
Maria, her actions cloaked in an enigmatic veil, extracted her purse and delved within its depths, her hands weaving through the contents in an inexplicable manner. As she retrieved a pair of scissors, their glint in the dim light, she usually only used them when she aimed to sever the tangled strands of her own hair.
Then, in a chilling twist of fate, Maria, driven by jealousy, suddenly lunged toward the ethereal figure of The Virgin Alicia! A sinister instrument poised for action, With a relentless thrust, she pierced the stillness, targeting Alicia's right breast, a moment that would etch its macabre legacy into the annals of the daylight as it was 1:38 PM In the morning at a playground.
Maria was tackled by Mina's husband, Paul; Mina was one of the mothers. Alicia survived because Mina dialed 911 & Maria got arrested.
Timothy got his parents to bail her out of prison, and Maria got worse when she moved in with him. Maria bought a shackle and brought it home and told him that "You are allowed to see your mother and father because they bailed me out, but you cannot see your sisters. They are probably incestuals. I don't care about any Cherokee thing regarding family, you will keep it limited, no big family, no moving in with your family so that you can cohabitate illegally and be forced out of your small home in a reservation and you will not go back to the reservation because you are in love with me and will be with me for the rest of your life or else I will bind you by these shackles to my bed if you try to leave!"
Maya knocked on Timothy's dorm room door, and it was Maria, a fellow Puerto Rican like Maya and Charlotte, who answered. Maria claimed "I'm Timothy's new roommate," to which Maya explained, "My dorm was broken into and trashed, so the dean moved me into Timothy's dorm."
In a fit of jealousy, Maria asked, "Was it one of your guys who did the break-in?!" Her rage flared, believing Maya had no business being in her boyfriend's room. In a shocking turn, Maria slapped Maya so hard that she tumbled to the ground. She shouted, "Stay away from him. This dorm belongs to me now!"
In terror of Maria's unexplainably psychotic wrath, Maya quickly contacted the dean to arrange new living accommodations. The dorm locks were changed, Maya's belongings moved to Maria's dorm, and Maria's possessions transferred to Timothy's room, setting the stage for an ominous shift in their living arrangements.
Maria was up at all hours of the night boarding up the dorm's windows, yelling, "You will not have girls sneaking through the windows like those movies, you need a key to get in and out of here so I can lock you in because you are not reliable!"
Timothy shouted, "Why would I sneak girls into my dorm room?!" Maria replied, "You think you can pull that sneaky movie nonsense with girls creeping through windows? Not a chance! You'll need a darn key to come and go from here. I have to lock you in because, let's face it, you're about as reliable as a wet paper bag!"
Timothy shouted, "Can I hold the key?!" So, Maria, holding the key on her bra inside of her bra, slapped him so hard that his cheek bashed against his bunk bed and he screamed, "Ow, that hurts, leave me alone!" Then he shivered In fear.
Maria shouted at him "I win, you little cheating piece of dirt!" Then Maria pressed his head on the floor and stepped on it. Maria shouted, "Promise to be faithful to me!" So, he promised, "I promise to be faithful to you, I promise to be faithful to you!"
Maria took her foot off of him and then sat on his head as he laid face down on the floor and she put her full weight on his face and just relaxed on him.
Amidst muffled cries for help, Timothy struggled to breathe, desperately calling out, "Maria, get off of me!" This unsettling ordeal continued for what felt like an eternity, with Maria's ominous words piercing the air, "Don't you dare cheat on me. You can't even see your friends. Are you hiding something, Timothy? Are you a homosexual, Timothy?!"
Timothy, his voice strained, retorted, "I'm dating a woman, why are you asking?" But Maria's persistence didn't waver as she repeatedly questioned, "Are you gay, Timothy? Are you bisexual?!" The tension in the room grew as Timothy vehemently denied, "No!"
Maria got up off of him and then punched him in his nose, leaving a bloody nose, 0oked him hard in his eye, making his left eye hurt, she put on red high heels and kicked him in the stomach and then saw that he had long hair in typical cherokee braids, she took scissors and in the middle of each braid, cut it off; Then she began cutting his hair wildly, she pinned him down and kept wildly cutting it off, yelling, "You think you're special?! You look gay, cut your long hair because it looks gay! You are screwing your friend, Jim, aren't you?!" Timothy was then forced to look in the dorm mirror.
As Timothy was reluctantly guided to face his reflection in the mirror, a wave of devastation washed over him. His hair, once neatly groomed and comfortably around his shoulders, now hung wildly, shaggy, and unkempt, descending to a chaotic tangle that nearly touched his neck. It resembled a tangled thicket, with uneven strands and irregular lengths.
Timothy's eyes welled up with tears as he gazed upon this disheveled mess that had once been his hair. In a trembling voice, he turned to Maria and cried out, "Maria, what have you done?" The reflection before him was a stark testament to the abrupt transformation that had left him in despair, a physical manifestation of the turmoil within him.
In an eerie declaration, Maria exclaimed, "No woman will steal you away from me." She forcefully pushed his head under the bathroom sink, an uncomfortable and unusual act even under regular circumstances, mainly used for washing hair. Then, she turned on the water, a sinister effort to render him less appealing.
She turned on the hot and cold water all the way up to increase the water pressure and scared him to death, he was gargling and screaming, she held him in there for 40 seconds until he gave up and just laid in there at his own will because he was afraid of her; In total he was held there for 70 seconds.
Why did Maria do this? Long haired Cherokee men are very attractive, and she knew many women found that attractive in her college, so she destroyed Tony's hair. Maria knew Cherokee men prized long hair and told Tony "You prize that hair because of your culture, but you cannot have that if it takes you from me!"
Maria saw him shout "I'm sorry, but you cannot say that to me! Leave me alone!" Tony ran and dialed 911 because she has the key and he can't find it. Tony texted 911, as you can actually text 911, what happened and gave them his address.
Maria ran in after and bit him on his left cheekbone in a ravenous rage! Tony called them in the midst of the crazy because he knew 911 calls were recorded and threw the phone under the bed while it was on speaker phone.
Maria bit him on his arms, legs, face, neck and neck, leaving 23 cuts and 34 bruises. Tony freaked out because Maria had more muscle than him and he was skinny, he was panicking and she kicked him 12 more times.
"Maria, no!" Timothy screamed as she got her armpit shaver and shaved off his eyelashes, both top and bottom, then his eyebrows.
Maria screamed "No one will want you, but me!" Maria then dragged him into the bathroom and locked him in there as the bathroom has keyholes on both sides.
Maria shouted "You will learn your lesson!" Then left the dorm with the key in her bra and stayed away for 4 hours as the police broke in and heard Tony crying for help in the bathroom shouting, "Maria, let me out! You are so crazy, you've never done anything like this before! Let me out!" He was furious and the police had to break into the bathroom because he told them "You took the keys, I can't get out of the bathroom without the keys!"
The police rescued Timothy, he had made sure not to mention his race in fear they would not come. Timothy pressed charges against Maria and then broke up with her immediately.
