Loretta’s words set the entire hall ablaze, the atmosphere surging with both exhilaration and emotion.
In that moment, Khloe became the most envied woman in the country. She had wealth, her husband had wealth, her in-laws were wealthy-and her husband lavished the entire family’s favor upon her.
Applause rippled through the hall.
With the elders’ speeches concluded, it was time for the exchange of vows.
Nick lifted Khloe’s left hand, his gaze fixed on her ring finger as he slowly slid onto it the ring he had carefully chosen himself.
It was an extraordinary, rare red diamond, its setting unique and radiating a dazzling brilliance-like fire itself. As if embodying Khloe, a soul so warm and luminous that she could melt any coldness, even the chill in his own heart.
Back in Naraida, their previous rings had been lost to flames. But they had survived. Now these red- diamond rings symbolized rebirth from fire, a love tempered and unbreakable.
“Khloe,” Nick’s voice, low and resonant through the tiny microphone at his collar, carried clearly across the hall and into the ears of billions watching worldwide. “I have never been so grateful to fate. Grateful that it brought me to you, and even more grateful that you chose me, to stay by my side.”
His words were simple, without flourish, yet each syllable carried immense weight, steeped in emotion.
“From this day forward, my life, my honor, my everything, I share with you. I love you-until the end of my days.”
Khloe’s tears spilled freely, trailing down her cheeks. She bent to wipe them, but Nick’s gentle fingers had already brushed them away before she could.
Applause thundered once more.
Khloe couldn’t help but laugh through her tears. It all felt like a dream-too beautiful, almost unreal. She didn’t want to cry, yet her heart overflowed.
After a moment, she lifted Nick’s left hand and placed the matching ring-fitting perfectly with her own- onto his finger with equal reverence.
“Nick, I once thought happiness was a distant luxury. You showed me that love can be tangible, powerful, and real.”
She drew in a deep breath, her voice choking with emotion. Tears fell again, but the smile at the corners of her lips reached her eyes.
“From this day forward, I will stand by your side, anywhere, anytime. To share your glory and weather every storm with you. I love you-not because you are perfect, but because you are you.”

Her words sent a surge through Nick’s eyes, turbulent and fierce. He lifted his hand once more, tenderly wiping her tears as if they were the rarest treasure.
Then, before everyone, he slowly lifted the delicate veil from her face. Beneath it, Khloe’s tearful, radiant expression was fully revealed-breathtaking in its beauty.
Unable to restrain himself, he leaned forward, in a reverent gesture, and kissed her lips.
Even the host and the staff on stage couldn’t hold back tears, moved by the depth of their devotion. The guests and family in the hall were equally touched.
Even Ethan, normally indifferent to such displays, found his eyes reddening. He reached for his handkerchief, dabbing at his eye, only to catch Michael’s glance.
They… Khloe and Nick… this is so sappy,” Ethan muttered, clearing his throat awkwardly. Then he added, “Something’s caught in my eye, that’s all.”
