The Bond Between Us (Anastasia and Herman) novel Chapter 580

Maddie playfully poked at Stacy's sides, teasing her, "After tonight, you're officially gonna be Mrs. Salstrom. I've got to savor this last night of freedom with you."

Stacy squirmed and giggled, "Alright, alright, knock it off!"

With a magician's flair, Maddie produced a small box from her palm, "Stacy, a little wedding present."

Stacy's eyes widened with surprise, "What's this?"

"Just open it," Maddie said with a smile.

Inside the box was a delicate, leaf-shaped necklace.

"It's so precious," Stacy said, clearly touched, "Maddie, you're too good to me."

"Well, of course!" Maddie boasted, "I intend to spoil you rotten, right after Herman, of course. Now, try it on."

Stacy clasped the necklace around her neck, her pale skin complementing its beauty.

"Maddie, thank you," Stacy said, deeply moved, reaching out for a hug, "I'm so grateful for your constant support."

Since her fallout with Herman, Stacy had seen changes in her social circle. Even Lauren Mills had kept her distance.

But Maddie had been a constant presence.

Hugging Stacy, Maddie patted her back and said, "Stacy, go be wildly happy."

"You too," Stacy replied.

That night, they shared countless secrets and stories, talking about everything from their college days to marriage and kids.

Eventually, Stacy drifted off to sleep.

The next day dawned.

The makeup artist arrived early to prepare Stacy for her big day. The wedding of Elysian Technologies' mogul was a hot ticket, with guests and reporters already swarming the venue for scoops.
