Fate's Dark Side Chapter 825

David reached for Nicole’s hand and playfully imitated our dance moves.

"Don't stop the fun on our account; this is a well-deserved lounge ball," David said, and we all laughed.

Sylvester and I resumed our dance, and slowly, everyone arrived and joined in, immersing themselves in the joyful atmosphere.

When we were all present, I paused the music to address everyone.

I looked around. Every one of us was there.

I looked at each person, their attention fixed on me, waiting to hear my words.

Susan sat on Devin's lap, looking healthy and happy. Their joy was finally complete.

Avery and Marcel couldn't keep their hands off each other, as always.

Linda rested against Theo's body, filled with contentment.

Amelia sat on Leo's lap, eagerly anticipating my words, while Leo looked at her in awe. Seeing them, I knew he wouldn't mess it up.

Nicole and David sat side by side, the oldest love in the room still strong and unbreakable. Vino held Claudia in his arms, their joy and peace evident from their calm expressions.

Katya sat on Dominic's lap, his hand gently caressing her growing baby bump.

Alexei, Clay, Andrew, and Nelson stood at the bar, waiting for me to speak. Max and Kyle sat in individual chairs, radiating happiness and contentment.

Gezel and Erik stood together at the bar. They hadn't officially become a couple yet, but it was clear that they were heading in that direction.

The only ones missing were Jake and Stephanie, and they were excused. Jake was still recovering, so I understood why they weren't there. With the exception of Gezel and Erik, this gathering wasn't their scene.

I sighed with contentment and stood up to address everyone. Sylvester stood beside me, holding my hand tightly. I needed his touch because I was about to get emotional.

"I am grateful that we all made it," I began, and smiles spread across their faces.

"Something that seemed incredibly difficult and impossible is now behind us.

Along the way, we forged new connections and friendships.

We discovered secrets and truths, but most importantly, we were there for each other, supporting and helping one another, ensuring that our troubles didn't overwhelm us.

Our friendship has grown, and we have become like family, knowing each other's strengths and weaknesses, and filling in each other's gaps.

We stood by each other, offering a helping hand every step of the way.

Our friendship and love have grown stronger.

Everything we've been through has made us stronger and happier.

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you for being loyal and true, for believing in us, and for never giving up.

Even though we will soon return to our own homes, let this not be the end.

I hope our friendship and love will endure and stand the test of time.

I genuinely hope we will stay connected and always support one another, no matter what happens.

Let's not spend too much time apart, and always we will always be there for each other. May our friendship continue to blossom and become a story that brings happiness and joy to everyone involved," I said, my voice trembling with emotion.

"Long live the King and Queen!" David exclaimed, and applause filled the room. Laughter filled the air, and Linda was the first to request a snack.

Sylvester and I sat together on a couch, and I leaned on him. The staff brought out the tray of spring rolls, and Amelia exclaimed.

"Not again! We stuffed ourselves with those things in Mountain," she complained, and Leo seemed to share her sentiment. The expressions on their faces were priceless. Most of us burst into laughter. Then the sandwiches were brought out, and everyone started teasing about them. Sylvester and I laughed heartily. It was definitely going to be a fun afternoon.

After a while, I decided to make a request. I gently tapped my glass with a teaspoon to get everyone's attention. The chatter ceased as they turned their focus toward me.

"I hope my request won't offend any of you, but Sylvester and I were hoping that all of you could have your weddings in the north. Since it will be taking place under a blue moon, we don't want to have to choose which weddings to attend. We want to be there for all of you, and I doubt we can make it if we have to travel across regions for each wedding," I explained, my fingers crossed, hoping they would agree.
