The Queen entered the house while the three guards she arrived with remained outside. Daniel greeted, "Welcome, Mom." As she took her seat, Daniel and Ivy followed suit. Ivy said, "What can I offer you, mom?" The Queen replied, "No need for that. Sit down, both of you. We need to talk."Both Daniel and Ivy seated themselves, their gaze fixed on her, their thoughts lingering on the events of the previous night. Daniel began, "Mom, thank you for coming to my rescue yesterday. I also want to apologize if I caused you unnecessary trouble by making you come out so late."A soft smile touched the Queen's lips, "What are you saying, Daniel? I'm a mother, and it's only natural for a mother to make sacrifices for her children. To be honest, seeing you in that state broke my heart. I was very sad. That's why I came this morning. Please come back home. It's not the same without you, Ivy, and our grandchildren. Your father is extremely sad, though he tries not to show it. We feel empty witho
Anna stood outside the bathroom, tears streaming down her face, as she regretted helping Ella. Ella had pleaded with her, promising that this was the last time she would ask for such help. Despite Anna's initial reluctance, Ella's vision of a perfect future with Daniel persuaded her to assist. Ella assured her that the substance they were going to use would erase any memory of the wrongdoing so Anna couldn't understand how Doc had now found out about her actions. She couldn't bear losing him; she loved him dearly and deeply regretted her choices.When Doc emerged from the bathroom, he saw Anna on her knees, begging him not to send her away. "Please, Hardy, I can't imagine life without you," she pleaded."Oh, really? If you can't live without me, you'll have to learn to," he responded coldly."No, please, don't do this. I love you so much, Hardy. I promise," Anna implored."You claim to love me so much, just like Ivy loves Daniel, right? Yet you tried to break them apart," Doc retort
The moment Joshua was kicked out of the house, he got into his car and drove away. When he reached an isolated part of the road, he parked his car and screamed angrily, hitting his steering wheel. A few minutes later, he calmed down and called someone.Ella was in the hospital at this time. Daniel had pushed her last night, causing her to hit her head. Fortunately, a good Samaritan had found her bleeding and rushed her to the hospital.When she opened her eyes, she was in shock at how badly her plan had gone. She had thought that with Daniel's state, he would not know what happened. The pills she used to drug him and Doc were supposed to be very potent. She had been told that once he took them, he would lose awareness of his surroundings, making it easier for her to manipulate him. He would also not be able to remember what happened when morning came. Only now did she realize that she had been lied to. The person who sold her the pills probably gave her something different from what
Once Daniel and Ivy entered the house, the King and Queen turned their attention to them, as did Joshua. Joshua got up and walked toward Daniel, saying, "I'm really sorry about everything, Daniel. I hope you can forgive me. Ivy, please forgive me. I have no idea what happened. I'm usually not like that, I promise you. I have no memory of it either, but please find it in your heart to forgive me. Daniel, you're my brother, and the truth is I want to live peacefully with you."Daniel looked at his parents, who said to Joshua, "As long as you regret your actions, we can forgive your mistake. What matters is never letting it happen again.""I can assure you that nothing of this sort will happen again," Joshua said."Alright," Daniel replied. "Let's just live in peace, if not for anything, for the sake of our parents. After all, once Mom and Dad leave for their tour after your coronation, Ivy and I will eventually leave so you can grow your family here. For the time being, I hope we can
When morning arrived, Daniel left the house early to consult another doctor. He didn't doubt his initial doctor's capabilities, but he desired certainty. He told the doctor, "I'd like to conduct a DNA test. I want to determine my relationship with the hair's owner, to find out if he's my brother." After providing his own hair sample, the test was swiftly administered. The results were presented, revealing no relationship between them."Is there no match?" Daniel inquired."No, there's no match," the doctor confirmed."Could there be a mistake? Perhaps you're mistaken?" Daniel wondered."No, I cannot be mistaken, my prince," the doctor assured."Please run the test again," Daniel requested. The doctor complied, yet the result remained negative.Thanking the doctor, Daniel left. He visited another reputable hospital and requested a DNA test between his hair sample and Joshua's. Post-test, the doctor informed him that there was no match."These two individuals are surely unrelated?" Da
Back in the palace, Ivy wondered what the result of the test must have been. She wanted to call Daniel, but she was worried that he'd be busy and she'd disrupt his work. So, she focused her attention on their children instead.After a while, she heard someone call out her name and thought that the Queen was calling her. She left her two children, who were lying on the bed, and came out of her room. She looked around the living room, but there was no one. She went out to the section where the king used for his meetings, but there was still no one. She decided to go to the Queen's room to ask her. Unknown to her, though, Joshua had been the one who called her name while faking the voice of the Queen. He wanted to put their second plan into motion. He had carefully planned everything; he even went as far as discovering what Ivy's phone password was so his plan would be successful.As Ivy left for the Queen's room, Joshua dashed into her bedroom. He picked up her phone and unlocked it.
Seeing that no one was saying a word in reply, Ivy repeated herself, "Please go on, Joshua. What did Ivy do?" "Come closer, Ivy," the queen said to her. Ivy walked over to the queen, and the queen asked, "Did you send nude pictures and messages to Joshua?""What? I don't understand your question," Ivy replied."Just answer if it's a yes or a no," the king said, cutting in."Did you send nude pictures of yourself and messages to Joshua?" the king pressed."I don't even have Joshua's number," Ivy replied."Your Highness, I've never messaged Joshua before. Nude images? Why would I do such a thing?" Ivy defended herself.The queen stared at the king, while Joshua sighed, and sat down. "Every criminal would always claim to be innocent unless they're caught red-handed," the king remarked.The king handed Joshua's phone to Ivy and asked, "In that case, what is this? Please explain."Ivy stared at the pictures and the messages in shock. Her mouth fell open as she looked at the king and bac
The moment the king heard Daniel's voice and realized that he was back, he came out of the room. He had been so disgusted with Ivy that he couldn't bear to look at her face any longer. However, he knew that he needed to address the issue while Daniel was present. Seeing that Daniel had returned, Joshua stood up. On the other hand, Ivy turned and stared at Daniel. He looked at her, saw tears falling from her eyes, and clenched his fists in anger. He began to walk slowly towards Ivy, while she became apprehensive. Despite trusting Daniel, she felt anxious; his entire family was accusing her so she couldn't help but wonder if Daniel would take their side. But as he got closer to her, Daniel pulled Ivy into his arms and embraced her.Ivy gave in and broke down in tears."It's okay, Ivy. Don't cry anymore. I'm here now, everything will be fine. I promise," Daniel comforted her."What are you doing, Daniel?" the king asked. "The woman you call your wife is betraying you, and yet you're
The next day, Daniel led Ivy out of the house as he said goodbye to the king and queen. She got into the car after he opened the door for her, and he began to drive. "Where are we going to?" she asked."Somewhere around the city," Daniel replied.They finally arrived at the gate of the most luxurious hotel in the city. "Wow!" Ivy exclaimed. "Are we here to have lunch?""Lunch? Ivy, it's still morning," Daniel smiled."Yeah, because we already had breakfast," she replied."Just keep your fingers crossed," Daniel said.Once they got out of the car, they went to the reception, and Daniel got their room key. Afterward, he led Ivy toward the room. Once they got to the room, he opened the door and they both went inside.When she was inside, she looked at the room in surprise. It had been decorated as though they were newlyweds. The bed was covered with roses, the chandelier was decorated with rose flowers, and there were different lights around the room, and scented candles as well – it g
The moment the queen saw the king falling onto his chair, she ran towards him and asked, "Your Highness, are you okay?" The king sat upright and weakly nodded, "Yes." Daniel also turned to stare at his parents. Everything that happened caught his attention. Ivy was frightened, thinking the king was having a heart attack. She got up from where she was sitting and ran over to the king's side, trying to hold his hand to see if she could help.Joshua took advantage of the opportunity and tried to run. However, the guards, who already had their orders from Daniel, pushed him backward and asked, "Where do you think you're going?" Once Daniel confirmed that his father was okay, he got up and turned to stare at Joshua, saying, "Trying to run away, Joshua? Why so soon? What do you think? It's that easy to commit a crime against the royal house and get away with it?""Please, I'm very sorry," Joshua said, filled with dread. From the first time he had seen Daniel, he thought Daniel was an eas
Ella had just finished shopping when she got into her car and began driving to her house. Thinking about the plan she had made for the day, she was very happy.Earlier, Joshua had called her to tell her that everything had gone successfully. He had been able to send evidence of Ivy cheating to his phone, so he was about to confront her.She knew that at this point, Ivy would be fighting hard to prove her innocence, but it wasn't going to be successful. Daniel would be forced to think about the possibility of Ivy cheating, and that was the first step. She knew how much Daniel loved Ivy, so she did not believe that he would kick Ivy out of his life so easily. However, she believed that this was enough to plant a seed of doubt, and with subsequent reoccurrences, Daniel would come to hate Ivy and would want nothing to do with her. That would be the time for her to step in.Of course, she had her backup plan and other things to do in case this did not go as she wanted, but this was her mo
