My Love Until the Last Goodbye by Alut

Meanwhile, in one of the many rooms of Magnus's house, Diana was surrounded by the women of the Palmer and Evans families-her sisters and her mother.

Each of them gave her their best wishes as they buttoned up the delicate pearls on her wedding dress.

Valerie hadn't been able to attend the ceremony. She also felt it was time to start setting some healthy boundaries around certain relationships. Still, she made a video call where she shared how happy she was for the couple. She had also designed a beautiful choker for Diana, featuring a sapphire in the center, which Serenity had helped fasten.

The elegant piece, designed by Valerie, carried a deeply personal meaning-one only she fully understood.

"Valerie, what you gave me is beautiful. I can't even imagine how much it must've cost. You really didn't have to."

"It wasn't a bother at all. It's my way of thanking you for what you did for me—and also a way to say sorry for not being at your wedding."
