Daniel stared at Ivy in surprise, "Really? Will you really do anything for me?" Ivy replied, "Yes, that's what I said."Do you mean it?" She smiled, "Of course I mean it. Why? You don't believe me?" Daniel hesitated and responded, "No, I do. It's just that I've never heard you say anything like this before. I hope you don't forget what you've said right now because I will remind you." Ivy assured him, "Of course, my memory isn't that short." They said goodnight once again and went to sleep.The next morning, Ivy woke up to find Daniel coming out of the bathroom wearing only his pants. She couldn't help but stare at him as he wiped his hair. When his eyes turned in her direction and he caught her gaze, she instantly covered her face with the duvet. Daniel found it amusing and said, "You can stop hiding because I already saw you." Ivy peeped out from under the duvet and they both began to laugh. Daniel added, "If you want to use the bathroom, it's free." Ivy nodded and rushed
Ivy and Daniel left the hotel and went to the fancy restaurant he had booked for their date. When they walked in, Ivy looked around the restaurant and was really impressed. It was beautiful, but she couldn't find anyone else other than the waiters. "Why are there no other customers?" she asked. "What do you know?" Daniel replied, "You're married to a prince, so he hired the entire place just for you." Ivy smiled, "You didn't have to do that, but thank you. That's nice." They walked toward where their seats had been arranged, and Daniel pointed at one and told Ivy, "Do have a seat." She smiled at him and walked over to the table. However, at that moment, she felt something falling on her. She looked up and saw tiny, beautiful flowers being poured on her from the top. She looked at the white roses and Ivy's eyes widened in surprise. She turned and stared at Daniel while he folded his arms, smiling at her. She opened her arms wide as the flowers kept falling on her until they eve
As Daniel sat on a seat, he kept staring at Ivy, who suddenly began to feel shy. "Go on, eat," he said to her. "I will," she replied. "I should be the one telling you to eat because you just keep looking at me." Daniel laughed, "I'm sorry, I can't help it. You just... you look very beautiful." "Thank you. How many times will you compliment me?" Ivy asked."A million times if I have to." He replied. Ivy smiled and began to dig into the food which the waiter had brought earlier.After eating for a while, a love song began to play, and Daniel got up, stretched out his hand, and said, "Mat I have this dance?" Ivy stared at him in surprise, "But we already danced, didn't we?" "Which means you have gotten better at it," Daniel said. She shook her head, "I don't know what your fascination really is with dancing, but okay, as long as you're happy."She got up and held Daniel's hand while he pulled her closer. Afterward, another song began to play. His moved and remained around her wa
Daniel kissed Ivy and led her to the bed. She laid on her back, staring at him as he gently undressed her. This time, she could not bring herself to reject him.He planted kisses all over her neck and filled her up, joining their bodies as one and they spent a passionate night.When Daniel woke up in the morning, he noticed Ivy was not in the room. He felt happy when he recalled that they had consummated their marriage last night.On the other hand, Ivy who had just taken her bath in the bathroom was beating herself up. She regretted not being strong enough to stop Daniel last night as everything she was doing was in his best interests.When she came out of the bathroom, Daniel was no longer in the room. She quickly got dressed and arranged their luggage. She wanted them to leave as soon as possible.Daniel came in with some of her favorite fruits. He smiled at her but she did not return it. He wondered how Ivy felt about what happened between them last night and decided to have a cha
Daniel and Ivy returned home together. When they went into their room, Daniel noticed Ivy was still sad, so he sat closer to her on the bed and asked, "What is the problem, dear? Are you sad because of what happened between us last night?""No, I'm not," she replied. "Daniel, I'm sorry, but last night was a mistake and it doesn't change anything. I am going to abide by the contract, so please, let's not talk about it anymore."Daniel decided not to push the issue since Ivy seemed upset, so he nodded and said, "Tell me why you are sad, then."Ivy sighed, "I had so much pent-up anger towards Miles and Lucy, but when I saw their pathetic situation today, I actually felt sorry for them for a moment, only to discover that they had sold all my mom's belongings, leaving behind only her books. Wasn't it enough that they inherited all her wealth and still sold me off? Did they have to sell her things as well?""It's okay, Ivy. They are really horrible people. At least you found something that
Daniel made a few calls and Miles and Lucy were quickly arrested. When the police officers arrived, they were surprised to see that both Miles and Lucy had been thoroughly battered and were covered in blood. They first took them to the hospital before taking them to the station.In the days that followed, Daniel noticed Ivy was often moody, so he tried his best to make her happy. However, she spent most of her time avoiding him. She only came to sleep when she noticed he had fallen asleep, woke up before he did, and spent the rest of the day cooking and doing other chores. Each time Daniel tried to have a conversation with her, she would pretend to rush to the bathroom. It started taking a toll on her as she occasionally became weak, feverish, and sometimes lightheaded.In her mind, Ivy hoped that Daniel would become irritated with her, and that way it would be easier for him to send her away when the time came. This went on for three weeks until Daniel couldn't take it anymore.Da
That night, the King and Queen were so happy when they got the news of Ivy's pregnancy. The Queen hugged Ivy and showered her with praises while the King blessed both of them, as well as the unborn child. Afterward, he told Daniel, "You are a real man, my son. I'm so proud of you."When they retired to their bedroom, Ivy surprisingly held on to Daniel."I want to hug you to sleep," she told him.Daniel stretched his body happily, closed his eyes, and said, "In that case, have your way with me. If this is a dream, then I don't ever want to wake up.""Ivy smiled and replied, 'This isn't a dream, my husband. It's our reality.'"Daniel opened his eyes and hugged her too as they both drifted off to sleep.The night passed by quickly, and soon it was dawn. Ivy slept a bit longer than usual By the time she got up, the sun had already risen, and Daniel was nowhere to be found. She freshened up and had breakfast with the King and Queen. They asked her to rest, so she went back to her room an
Abigail and her father arrived at her mom's family house. After hearing what happened, her mom said she and the baby were allowed to stay but her father was not welcomed.Abigail's mom had been very disappointed when she learned about her marriage to Victor, knowing he was Ivy's husband back then. However, Abigail was still her daughter, despite everything. Her sister, May was abroad furthering her studies while she had chosen the wrong way by staying back with her father.Meanwhile, Abigail didn't want her father to leave so she went after him but he got upset and snapped at her, "What do you think you are doing? Do you want to become a burden on me? Don't be stupid and take this bastard child of yours back onside.Tears fell from Abigail's eyes as he walked away leaving her behind. She once again promised herself that she would destroy Ivy if she ever got the chance.When Ivy and Daniel got back to the palace, the joy and satisfaction on their faces were unmistakable. After freshen
