The video—the same video that had destroyed her life—had started a cascade of events she could never have anticipated. She had been drugged at one of Penelope's notorious parties, a social event she had been coerced into attending. The next morning, she awoke in an unfamiliar bed, her body completely exposed, lying next to an unknown man. The memory of the night was a haze, leaving her with no idea how she had ended up in such a compromising situation.
The following day, her worst fears were realized. Pictures and videos of her and the man, both naked and entangled, began circulating across the internet. The explicit content of her along with the unknown man.
Her body fully naked with no clothes covering her, but atleast their faces where blur, but it would not take a second guess to know that was her, and the vidoes and pictures where plastered all over news websites and social media platforms, the headlines screaming:
"NUDE VIDEO CAPTURING THE HEIR TO BALFOUR INDUSTRIES IN BED WITH AN UNKNOWN MAN."
"HIDDEN LIFE OF THE HEIR TO BALFOUR INDUSTRIES REVEALED, INCLUDING HER NUMEROUS MEN."
To make it worst, her step sister, who was currently a big celebrity did a live video apologizing to the public for the scandalous behavior of her sister Daisy Balfour.
And that made matters worst since it was then confirmed to the public that those images and vidoes where hers .
The scandal erupted with full force, and the impact on her life was immediate and devastating. When she returned home, her stepmother wasted no time in expelling her from the house.
The day after the news broke, her stepmother's wasted no time in throwing her out of the BALFOUR mansion and cutting off all ties with her permanently. She dragged Daisy out into the street, screaming at the top of her lungs. Neighbors gathered to watch, their whispers and gossip filling the air as Daisy was publicly shamed.
"You unfilial girl! Your father provided you with everything, and yet you chose to disgrace us by acting like a whore, just like your mother!" her stepmother had yelled.
Her shout attracting more attention as the gossip increased along side with her voice filled which was filled with venom.
Daisy had tried to defend herself, desperately explaining that she remembered nothing from that night. She had no clue how she had ended up in bed with the man, but her pleas fell on deaf ears. Her stepmother and stepsister seemed to revel in her suffering, taking pleasure in her humiliation.
"I told you, girl, you should have died alongside your mother that day. It would have made things so much easier for both of us," her stepmother had whispered coldly, a cruel smirk on her face as she looked down at Daisy, who was left helpless on the ground. She then ordered the maids to toss Daisy's belongings out to her before closing the door to the Balfour mansion with finality.
She saw it the next day, and understood everything , she had thought maybe her father would care enough to come and find her, but she was wrong, it was all among their big plan .
They needed a valid reason to cut her out of the family tree so nobody would question them she is not declared the heir to the BALFOUR INDUSTRIES , death would be too suspicious as all hands would surely point to her step mother and sister claiming they killed her just to get hold of the position , which would be true .
So this was the only reliable option, nobody would question them when a new person is declared as the heir,they made so sure of that that she could not longer call her name anywhere in the city as she had already been marked so she had to change her surname to Daisy Woods to survive and took on a new personality completely.
Her father never cared, she watched how he announced to the World that she was dead to them and is no longer a Balfour.
The media frenzy ensured that Daisy's name was tarnished beyond repair. Her stepmother and stepsister had orchestrated everything to ensure that Daisy's name became synonymous with disgrace, making it impossible for her to reclaim her identity. She was forced to abandon the Balfour name entirely, adopting a new surname—Daisy Woods—to survive. Her previous identity was shattered, and she had to forge a new path under a completely different persona.
"Oh Daisy what are you doing here, don't tell me you actually got married"
