And even her brown eyes screamed of pity and hell,329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnATLtUdpkj
Her face clearly expressed ‘party all night, sleep all day,’329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxU8UroJB7i

When he moved out and rented himself that 19th century apartment,329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUR2x21P0v
My gosh, I couldn’t believe it! An aristocrat locked up in a dirty ol’ compartment?329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5nNxM2fA0
For someone who gave him nothing but trouble,329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDMuXPheqM
Slept with men that were her equal, their lives also crumbled,329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHi47VSmyZ

But one thing I did not know, that his death would soon lead,329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMusPPjX0vW
My son, my poor innocent bundle of joy,329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UgIRJZf6l

My life is over, no more parties on the deck.
