A Journey from Bitterness to Truth (Matilda and Yvan) novel Chapter 342

A week later, when the cover of Beauty Magazine House hit the streets, it was like a bombshell had gone off. There, in a stunning display of elegance and mystery, was a lady clad in a deep burgundy qipao, embroidered with delicate golden threads. She was positioned as if caught in a moment of intimate performance, her gaze piercing, enchanting anyone who dared to look directly into the photo. It was as if she was a rare bird, momentarily descended among mortals.

The city was in an uproar!!

Who was the cover girl? A newcomer never before seen in the limelight? How could she possess such a captivating presence on camera?

Todd's phone was ringing off the hook. Fashion magazines and designers were bombarding him with calls, all circling around one burning question—Who is the star of your latest cover story?!

But Todd kept his lips sealed. Matilda had made it clear she wanted no part in this circus, and he was determined to keep her secret safe. Whether they'd find out or not was their problem.

However, the second week after the cover's release, the renowned magazine Cosmo, in collaboration with various luxury brands, dropped a 60-second video that stole everyone's breath away. The video, polished and sharp, wove a tale of love and self-discovery, with its high-quality production seamlessly blending light and shadow. The closing shot zoomed out, blurring on Matilda's face.

Eagle-eyed viewers noticed that the woman in the video shared a striking resemblance to the mysterious cover girl of Beauty Magazine House. This revelation set the fashion world ablaze!!

Who was this phenomenal woman? With such a natural flair for storytelling, why had she remained undiscovered?

Todd showed Matilda some of the messages from major brands, hinting, "It's a shame you're not stepping forward. Everyone's looking for you."

Matilda just smiled, "Let's just call it a hobby. I prefer to keep a low profile."

After all, if her past and the skeletons in her closet were dragged into the light, it could cause quite the scandal.

This enigmatic woman had the fashion world at her feet, with countless people sharing the video, lavishing it with praise, and hailing her as the pearl of the fashion world, the beacon of hope for the future.

Social media was ablaze with admiration, the video's views skyrocketing past a million.

Having the heavyweight of the fashion world, Cosmo, as a supporter was a coveted endorsement.

...

In another city, Yvan stumbled upon the video by chance, and for a moment, he was breathless. His pupils dilated as he watched, incredulous. The way she moved, laughed, and expressed herself... It was unmistakably Matilda.

Seeing her convey such deep emotions in just a few seconds, perhaps the story resonated with her...

After watching the entire sixty-second clip, Yvan felt as if a lifetime had passed.

He couldn't help but hit replay, immersing himself in her transformations—from wild nights out to sacrifices made for love, and finally, reclaiming her sense of self. Wasn't this the story of Matilda, who had loved him so deeply that she lost herself in the process?
