After the Last Tear: Rising from the Ashes of a Broken Marriage By Cassila K

Chapter 100

After the previous incident, Lucas wasn't taking any chances with Gloria's birthday celebration. He stationed security at every entrance, knowing Elijah might try to

crash the party.

Surprisingly, Elijah was a no-show.

When his head of security reported this, Lucas raised an eyebrow but couldn't shake a feeling of unease. He kept the security team on high alert throughout the night.

The birthday gala was over-the-top in every detail. Lucas had arranged for digital screens across London to display birthday wishes, while the estate grounds were prepped with professional-grade fireworks, ready to light up when Gloria blew out her candles.

The castle interior was transformed with her favorite flowers and crystal decorations. Gift boxes from guests formed a small mountain, rivaling the towering custom-made cake designed to resemble a fairy-tale castle.

At the celebration's peak, Gloria wore the famous blue diamond pendant Lucas had won in a fierce bidding war. Together, they blew out the candles on her cake.

As the flames disappeared, the night sky erupted with synchronized fireworks that continued throughout the evening.

As the party wound down, guests began heading out while Lucas and Gloria stood at the entrance saying their goodbyes.
