"You'll see…

" Jeremy kissed her brow as he didn't like the frown line between her eyes.

"Everything is going to change, today!

"

n

"Today?

" Jerlina was intrigued.

nShe learned that the people adored the Volkonsky family name because they were a prominent Noble family. They were expecting the heir to the throne to appear.

nBut how is the trouble going to end?

nAnd as Jeremy said, at the end of the day, there was more news from Bonivia that there was an uprising and the military organized a coup against the Dictator and he was replaced by the General of the Military temporarily.

n

"Mikhail! Are you safe?

" Jerlina called him and asked. She didn't know but a coup seems like a dangerous thing.

n

"I am! The one in power now, Milomir Pavlovich… is my grandpa's cousin. This coup was well-planned. So don't worry. And be prepared. Your husband's identity will be revealed soon,

" he said and Jerlina ended the call.

n

"So, you are going to be King?

" she looked at Jeremy.

"And that makes me… Queen..? King Joel and Queen Jerlina, huh?

" She didn't know what to think of it.

n

"Gee! I've never seen such an unimpressed look on you before!

" he flicked her forehead.

"Don't worry. We don't have to go and live there. Bonivia will become a proper democracy soon.

"

n

"Really?

" Jerlina's face brightened up.

"Democracy is the best!

"

n

"But they are insisting on announcing me as a figurehead Head of State. I would be announced as the King of Bonivia. It's just a title that would pass on to the firstborn in our family. We don't have to do much though. We just have to visit Bonivia for certain festivities…

" Jeremy looked at Jerlina.

"but if you don't want to, I can firmly-

"

n

"No, Joel,

" Jerlina held his hand. She is not very much interested in this all, but she could see that Jeremy is interested in it. He loves the people there and if his family's role is to care for the people of Bonivia in any way they can, she cannot stop him.

n

"You should accept it. It is an honor to help them in any way you can.

"

nJeremy kissed her forehead. She gets him all the time.

n

"Wow!

" she said as she recalled everything that changed in a short amount of time. The one who ruled was in the prison and the entire regime changed overnight.

"Is great-grandpa involved in all these?

" Jerlina asked.

nAlthough for the others it seemed like the earthquake and the levity of the government in handling the repercussions caused the uprising, that is not the case. This was done with surgical precision.

n

"A little… He helped close all the escape routes of those in the government,

" Jeremy shrugged.

"Other stuff… Alexander and the others have been planning it for two decades… Ever since they learned of my existence…

"

n

"Wow! And you never told me!

" Jerlina glared at him.

"Were you even planning on telling me? You only told me now because your child was put in danger. Otherwise… What a dishonest-

"

nHer words were swallowed by his kisses.

n

"Stop it!

" Jerlina giggled as he tickled her neck with his beard.

n

"No!

" Jeremy kept on tickling her.

n

"Thug!

" she bit his cheek.

n

"Say it again!

" he squinted his eyes and stared at her.

n

"See… Thug!

" Jerlina poked his cheek.

"You're scaring me!

" she pouted.

n

"I am a thug. And I am going to destroy you and show you how much I care about you.

"

n

"No…

" Jerlina hit his chest trying to push him away.

"We have to go for the ultrasound this week!

"

n

"So..?

" Jeremy didn't understand that there is a connection there.

n

"Joel! Dear! You're not a thug! You are a King! So act Noble,

" she could see it in his eyes that he is planning something sinister and changed her tactic.

n

"Noble?

" he chuckled in a deep voice.

"Honeybuns! Where did you ever see me acting nobly? I am a wolf!

"

n

"No!

" Jerlina tried to struggle out.

"Don't!

"

nHe kissed her and then he carried her to bed as her protests stopped and her eyes turned coy.

nShe's too cute!

nI know where to touch her to make her agree!

nAs the relief efforts were going on and the political state of Bonivia was changing, Scarlett recovered and returned home. Jerlina would stay in her home and helped her around in taking care of Cia as Scarlett was still a little weak and Bobby had to go to work.

nBobby did say there is something important he has to show her. She wondered what that important thing is that needed to be kept a secret from Jeremy.

nThe calls from Jeremy's stepmother increased in frequency and Jerlina ended up blocking her number several times as she called from different numbers. She even tried to sneak into their home and Jerlina with no second thoughts filed a restraining order against her.

nTwo weeks after Emma's death, Jerlina watched the news and it was reported that Jeremy's stepmother was found dead in her home.

nJeremiah Harrison claimed that his wife was killed by Erling's men. Social media erupted and claimed that Jeremiah Harrison is not even trying hard to think anymore and is acting very predictable.

nThe cops had to investigate properly. They found that the bullet that was retrieved from that woman was fired from one of Jeremiah's guns with the serial number filed. They also found gunshot residue between his fingers. As they confronted him, he escaped police custody. When the cops were onto him, he stood in the middle of the road and blew his brains off.

nAnd so, everyone forced the police department to release the reports of Emma's death as everything is obvious. And they did.

nEmma's death was a suicide. Her entire family had tried to bring down the reputation of Jeremy Fitzgerald and failed. They were so obsessed, they didn't even mind dying to further their cause.

nSeveral theories floated around and Jeremy Fitzgerald became a victim everyone empathized with.

nWithin a month, everything was settled. The company's stocks reached much higher than they've ever been after Bonivia announced Jeremy as the official heir to the Rozum Dynasty. The Bonivian government was very delighted to announce that the Razumovsky family survives!

nRejoicing was heard all over Bonivia and this caused them to celebrate after the immense grief they have suffered.

nThis announcement made all the conspiracies against Jeremy vanish. The redacted files the cop mentioned must be about his royal lineage as his life was in danger because of the dictator. And the Harrison family must have wanted to blackmail Jeremy for money and when he refused they tried to sully his name.

nAnd people slowly started to forget about Jeremy and the scandals around him. A celebrity couple announced their separation and that became the trending topic from then on.

nOn the first month anniversary of Emma's death, Bobby came to their house with Scarlett.

n

"Let's watch this!

" he showed a pen drive and Jerlina looked at Scarlett.

nShe shrugged as she had no idea either.
