Everyone was dancing and Jennifer was standing in a corner looking at them when suddenly Mrs. King came to her.

"Why are you standing? Come on, go and dance." She said and Jennifer smiled awkwardly.

She never did a couple-dance so she was scared to do it thinking that she would fall and embarrass herself.

"I don't have a dance partner." Jennifer said, smiling sheepishly and Mrs. King laughed hearing her.

"It's not a dance competition. Just choose someone. Wait, let me choose for you." She said and looked around the hall.

Jennifer doesn't want to dance but looks like now she has to.

"Look, Ethan isn't dancing. You can dance with him." She said and Jennifer started coughing hard.

"What happened, dear? Are you okay?" She asked, getting worried and Jennifer was still coughing.

Jennifer motioned with her hand that she needed to drink water.

"You go and drink water. I will call Ethan." She said and moved the wheelchair towards Ethan.

Jennifer wanted to stop her as she didn't want to dance with the devil but she couldn't. She went towards the bar area and asked the bartender for a glass of water.

The bartender gave her water and she gulped it down in one breath. She stood there watching everyone dancing when her eyes fell on Ethan who was coming towards her with a hard look on his face.

He is looking so hot, her perverted heart said drooling over him.

Shut up, She yelled at her.

"You are so cunning. Using my mom to come close to me. You are nothing but a gold digger." Ethan said to her with pure hatred.

Did you hear? She asked her perverted heart.

I hate him, her perverted heart said while crying.

"I would die single but will never be with you." Jennifer said to him with determination.

She doesn't care what he thinks about her but how could he think so low of her without knowing her properly?

Suddenly he gave her his hand. Jennifer looked at him in confusion thinking what happened to him suddenly!

She understood that he wanted to dance with her. She looked at him and then at his hand curiously.

Then she kept her hand on his hand but that shocked Ethan. Do you want to know, why?

Because it wasn't Ethan's hand, it was Stefan's hand. She smiled sweetly at Stefan and they moved toward where everyone was dancing!

She looked at Ethan who was glaring daggers at her and she rolled her eyes at him. She focused on dancing so that she doesn't fall and embarrass herself.

"Did I say that you are looking so sexy?" Stefan asked, starting his flirting, and this time she rolled her eyes at him.

"Stop flirting with me or I will stop dancing with you." She said to him sternly and he quickly muttered a small sorry.

She looked behind Stefan and saw that Ethan was dancing with Kate but his eyes were on her. Suddenly Stefan twirled her and she fell on someone and that person was none other than Ethan.

She kept her hands on his shoulder and his both hands were on her waist feeling her curves sensually. She didn't look at his eyes as those deep black eyes were making her nervous.

Though she didn't look at him, she could feel his gaze on her and because of his stare, butterflies appeared in her tummy. Soon the dance ended and she felt relief as she can breathe normally now.

It was dinner time so everyone went towards the dining hall.

"Come and sit with us." Mrs. King said to Jennifer.

"But, that's for family." She said and looked at the table where Kate, Ethan, their dad, and Stefan were sitting.

"You are also a family." She said and took her towards them.

She didn't want to sit with them because she didn't want to hear any bitter words about her.

"Kate, how can you forget your friend?" Mrs. King said and their eyes fell on Jennifer who was looking down at her feet.

"I am sorry, mom. Jennifer, sit beside me." Kate said feeling guilty and Jennifer silently sat beside her.

Soon dinner was served and they started eating. Jennifer was taking slow bites and mostly was playing with the food as she lost her appetite a long time ago.

Ethan's words were ringing in her ears and his father's Stefan voice also hurt her a lot.

If I didn't behave with them badly then why are they treating me so harshly? She thought.

"Why are you not eating, Jennifer?" Mrs. King said and Jennifer looked at her.

"Why are you crying?" She asked and Jennifer touched her cheeks, realising that she was crying.

"Actually, I am missing my mom, Mrs. King!" Jennifer said, wiping her tears and she gave her attention to the food again.

"What did you call me? Mrs. King? I told you to call me mom." She said softly and Mr. King looked at her like she said something horrible.

"Sorry, but I can't call you that." Jennifer said, lowering her head.

"Why?" She asked.

"Someone doesn't like it when I call you mom." Jennifer said like that as she didn't want to mention Ethan.

"I know who you are talking about! Ethan..." She screamed his name angrily and her voice caught everyone's

attention.

"What?" Ethan asked in an innocent low voice.

"Is that how you talk to a person? What's the problem if she calls me mom? I count her as a family member." She said with anger evident in her voice and Jennifer got scared because of the outcome.

Ethan was about to say something but Jennifer interrupted.

"Don't scold him. It's not his fault. I shouldn't call you mom and I am just Kate's friend. It's my fault, I shouldn't have come here." Jennifer said and more tears rolled down her cheeks.

"I am sorry if I made any mistake." Jennifer said, joining her hands in front of them and getting up from the seat.

She quickly went to Kate's room and wore her denim jacket over the dress because it was cold outside. She went out of the room after taking her bag and reached downstairs.

"I will give you the dress back tomorrow." She said to Kate and went out of the mansion without hearing them.

She was crying non-stop while walking alone in the street. She couldn't stop these stupid tears and her head was hurting again.

She has to walk till she gets to her apartment because she won't get a cab in that area. Suddenly she felt someone was following her so she looked back and saw someone was coming towards her.

But because of the darkness, she couldn't see the face and when that person came into the light, she started crying more seeing him.

"Now, what do you want?" She screamed at him with frustration.
