Daniel drove Ivy back home and she felt very happy because he complimented her on delivering her lines successfully and convincing the king and queen. He called Doc and told him how everything went and invited him over to his house for a celebration dinner in honor of their accomplishment. Doc wanted to bring Anna along but Daniel asked him not to because he did not want to make Ivy uncomfortable in any way. Soon enough, the news that the prince had chosen a bride began to spread like wildfire, and all the media houses carried it. It was on every newspaper outlet and was also all over social media. Netizens talked about it and people tried to figure out who the bride was. She wasn't familiar and nothing was said about her background but people kept complimenting her beauty. When both Anna and Ella saw the post, they were surprised. First of all, Ivy had completely transformed. It was as though an ugly duckling had been changed into a princess. If they did not know better, they wo
Anna told Ella about what transpired between her and Ivy and how everything had been ruined. Ella was so upset, "How could Prince Daniel take her side so easily? I don't understand, and you're telling me that he doesn't have feelings for her?" Anna said, "Yes, he doesn't. Even from his statement, you could tell that he felt pity for her. He said she had been through so much, and he wasn't going to allow her to be maltreated again."Ella sighed, "I can't bear this anymore. Now you can't stop me from going to tell the king. I'm very sure that if he knows, he will not let this marriage take place. I traveled out for a few months, hoping that Prince Daniel would have come to his senses but I'm seeing their pictures everywhere?""Well, okay, go ahead and do whatever you want, but as I said, 'do not let it affect my relationship with Hardy in any way. If you do that, I will not forgive you.""Don't worry, I don't plan on doing that," Ella said.Ella waited outside until Daniel had driven o
Daniel was driving behind the taxi Ivy got into. Mid-way, he thought about it and realized that he was going in the wrong direction. The person he needed to speak to wasn't Ivy, but his parents. Because no matter what he said to Ivy, without his parent's consent, it would not work. He reversed and went back to the palace.When he got in, his father stared at him and said, "What a useless son!" He went and knelt before his father and said, "I'm so sorry, Dad, please forgive me.""I'm so disappointed in you," his father said."I know that I failed you, Dad, Mom. I'm sorry, please forgive me." "But why? Why did you do all this?" his mom asked.He sighed, "Mom, I really love Ivy."His father got up and said, "Listen, no son of mine will marry an illiterate who has been married before.""Please, Dad," Daniel said, but his father walked away."This is the first time I've felt this way," Daniel cried. His father stopped and turned. "If you hadn't lied to us, it would have been different.
After convincing his parents that he was going to locate Ivy's elders, as they had almost found them, Daniel finally drove out of the house to talk to Ivy. He knew she must have given up and gone back home but he was determined to get her to change her mind. Ivy paced up and down, feeling guilty. She had cried when she first came back, not because she felt maltreated, but because she believed she had done something terrible. Her heart had told her from the start that it wasn't the right thing to do, and that it was going to blow up in her face. But, other than the future Daniel laid out for her, she had wanted to do something nice for him. She had always felt worthless from a young age. That was what everyone told her. But Daniel found a use for her, and it was the only way she could do something for herself. However, it turned out that she was going to be worthless to him as well. She didn't know how the king and queen found out, but one thing she knew was that she would never fa
After Daniel left Ivy, he went to another private apartment to think about what to do. He had not admitted to Ivy that the plan to bring in the people he had initially wanted to pass off as her elders, was no longer feasible. Now that his father was suspicious of him, he would easily run a background check on those people and realize that they were not really her elders. If he had told Ivy about it, she would have used that as more reason to back out of the deal. But now he was in a fix; he had just one week, and he needed to come up with Ivy's elders. Perhaps he needed to find her mom's family, as he said since her dad's was a no-no. If he could search for her father, he would be more than willing to stand in for her because of all the benefits. But he didn't want to give him that honor, not after what he did to Ivy. Considering the way he treated her, even Ivy wouldn't be happy that the man who sold her off was standing in as her father. In that case, her step-mom would be standin
Back in Victor's residence, Abigail stared at the picture of the soon-to-be queen and felt that her resemblance to Ivy was too striking. She showed the picture to Victor, and he agreed. The fact that Ivy had disappeared without a trace was already annoying. Initially, they were confident that she would come back, but it had been months, and she was still nowhere to be found.Abigail was upset as she had hoped to make Ivy's life miserable. She wanted to ensure that she suffered for the rest of her life. However, now that Ivy was nowhere to be found, it seemed her plans were going to fail.After staring at the picture for a while, both Abigail and Victor finally agreed that Ivy was probably the would-be queen's look-alike. There was no way a prince like Daniel would condescend to marry a worthless, barren slave like Ivy.Victor assured Abigail that they were going to attend the wedding because his family was bound to receive an invitation. They were well-known in society, and his father
Abigail stared at the picture of the would-be queen. The more she looked, the stranger she felt. Although she had dismissed the possibility that Ivy was the one, the resemblance was too striking. Could they be related, she asked herself. She regretted not keeping any pictures of Ivy, as they would have made it easier for her to compare them. In the end, she scolded herself for being stupid. If they were really related, Ivy wouldn't have lived as her slave. After her conversation with her father, Isla had been thinking of how to go about getting through to Ivy and Daniel. When she saw their pictures all over the Internet. She was surprised. "I can't believe they're so much in love!" She decided to call a few of her contacts and was finally able to get Daniel's number. However, when she called him, he kept rejecting her calls. Eventually, he picked up and she told him about her desire to speak to Ivy. But he didn't want to give in. Because she was insistent, he finally agreed and told
That evening, after leaving the hospital, Daniel and Ivy joined Isla on her private jet and made the journey to Battambang. When they arrived, Ivy's grandfather who was eager to see his long-lost daughter, was waiting outside. Isla had informed him that she had a surprise for him, a pleasant one, and he was thinking he was going to reunite with Luna. But then, he saw Ivy and recognized her from the pictures he had seen on social media. Instantly, he knew that she was his granddaughter, and tears welled up in his eyes as he opened his arms for her. Ivy felt surprised at the gesture, but then Daniel urged her and said, "Go ahead, your grandfather is welcoming you." She ran to him and hugged him, and as he hugged her, he broke down in tears. He kept hugging Ivy, but she felt uncomfortable because she has never received the love of a family member who was a male. After that, they all went into the house, and her grandfather asked her to sit beside him. Ivy looked at everyone and felt
