Chapter: PartyUrsula's house was bustling with guests. Mexican music is heard. During the trip, Tabitha didn't say much except Keith spoke to her. The guy turned off his car and got out of the car. Tabitha didn't wait for Keith to open the door for her, and at the same time she opened the car door, Keith was already standing up to open it for her."You won't let me be a real man, will you?" Keith smiled playfully and teasingly."Opening car door to women won't necessarily make you a gentleman," Tabitha retorted.Keith was still smiling and eyed Tabitha, who looked so beautiful. "I'm afraid that your beauty will steal everyone's attention, and forget about the host throwing the party."Tabitha snorted. "You're too much."Keith was tempted to grab Tabitha's hand, but he resisted. They crossed brick terraces and grassy, neatly trimmed, low-walled pathways circling the rose garden. The host, who already knew Tabitha, immediately greeted their arrival with a friendly smile."Oh, honey... you finally cam

Chapter: TRAPPED IN LIEMy name is not Adams, Mrs. Jones. I'm Keith Jackson."Linda's cheerful changed into surprise. "Well, how come you and your brother have different names?"Tabitha held her breath and closed her eyes. Keith will expose her lies, and she will lose a good friend."He...he is just my half-brother. Our fathers are different," Keith lied smoothly. Was always lying so easy for him? Tabitha was annoyed with herself because she had lied to Linda too."I see, of course," Linda clapped Keith's hand. "It's a tragic that he died abroad like that. His ship sank in the sea of Greece, right?"Keith raised his eyebrows while secretly mocking Tabitha, and the woman blushed. In a state of urgency to answer Linda's question when asking about the cause of her husband's death, Tabitha immediately mentioned Greece. Far place."Yes, Greece," said Keith. "And it's tragic. Too bad he can't be here with us." Keith's face and voice were serious, but his eyes twinkled with amusement as he glanced at Tabitha over

Chapter: The KissTabitha almost ran to the kitchen door, but she held herself because she didn't want to look stupid. Once in the kitchen, Tabitha leaned on the kitchen table as if she needed to rest. With a short breath, she took her hand on her throbbing forehead, then asked herself softly, "What's wrong with me?"That guy... my gosh, he amazing guy was driving her crazy. Tabitha trembled. There was a warm sensation on her thigh. She thought because of the effect of her shorts pants, but now she is willing to feel from within. She pressed her hands on the tops of her breasts, hoping that her body would get back to normal. The pregnant hormones she had read about seemed to be true."Can I help you?"Tabitha jumped when she heard the voice so close behind her. "Wh-what? Oh, no. What would you like to drink? Coke, right?""Yeah," Keith smiled.Tabitha, nervous, uncorked a Coke bottle. She had taken from the fridge. How long has the bottle been in there? What if it's already bargained?The glass rattled

Chapter: Can I get Coke?Keith's eyes lit up joyfully, and Tabitha was automatically annoyed at his joke. The man was about to destroy the world she had painstakingly built for herself and her child someday, and now Ethan's older brother was standing before her and smiling!"May I come in?" Keith asked politely.Reluctantly Tabitha stepped aside and let him in. Tabitha closed the door behind the man, then changed her mind and opened it again.Keith saw her movement and smiled even deeper. His teeth looked very white against his tanned face."Still afraid I'll hurt you?" Keith asked teasingly. Then he put on a serious face and said slowly. "Seeing you in clothes like this, I admit the prospect of attacking you is tempting, Tabitha, but I've never seduced a woman with paint on her nose."Tabitha looked down at her unseemly T-shirt, then gasped at how her thin shirt clung to her chest. Tabitha grumbled inwardly. She ventured to look at Keith Jackson, but the tall man bent down to pick up the wet rag Tabitha had

"Ibumu hanya anak haram tak berarti, dia dan ibunya sama-sama murahan, dia pantas diperkosa. Dan aku sangat menikmatinya saat melakukan itu." Pria itu menyeringai bak iblis.Boots tersenyum. "Sepertinya tidak akan ada acara haru biru di antara kita ... Ayah." Boots menekan kata ayah dengan nada jijik.Dharma kembali tertawa sampai wajahnya terangkat keatas. Lalu memandang Boots rendah.
