Runway Matrix CHAPTER 35 –What will Paris bring?
Inside, the car felt more like a private lounge than a vehicle—smooth white leather seats that reclined at the touch of a button, polished walnut trim, and a soft golden glow spilling from hidden light strips. A flute of chilled champagne sat in a holder, its bubbles rising lazily, as if even the drink knew it had entered a city where time itself seduced. Jake sank into the seat with a dramatic sigh, crossing his legs elegantly as he tugged at the cuff of his tailored blazer. “Paris knows how to welcome royalty, darling. And make no mistake—this week, you are royalty. Coco’s muse. Their golden girl.” His voice bubbled with flamboyant enthusiasm. Aurelia laughed softly, brushing a fiery curl from her face as she settled beside him. “Muse, huh? Don’t exaggerate.” “I never exaggerate,” Jake said with a wicked grin. “Okay, maybe just a little—but only because you deserve it. You’ve no idea the kind of attention you’re about to walk into. The campaign is massive. Billboards, digital spr
Runway Matrix CHAPTER 34– Paris
Well, well, well… look who’s suddenly into lace and silk. Is this shopping trip for Paris… or for someone who happens to own a penthouse?” Eloise said, grinning mischievously, nudging her. Aurelia rolls her eyes, blushing, said, “Oh, stop. It’s just underwear, Eloise. Every woman deserves to feel good in what she wears.” “This isn’t underwear," She replied, holding up a scandalously red set with tiny bows. "This is a declaration of war.” Aurelia snatched it from her hand, laughing despite herself. “Too much. I’d look ridiculous in this.” She chided herself. “Ridiculous? Honey, you’d look dangerous. The kind of dangerous that makes men cry in gratitude.” They both burst out laughing, and Aurelia picked a more modest but still elegant champagne silk set. --- After paying, they strolled into The Café, where the sweet aroma of fresh pastries and strong espresso lingered. Jake was already waiting by the window, a silk scarf tossed around his neck in exaggerated fashion, oversized
Runway Matrix CHAPTER 33– Mixed Feelings
“Sis—” Aurelia began, but Eloise had already gasped, her fingers brushing the embossed logo on the lid. “Oh my God… Cartier.” The name alone made Sue squeal and slap her palm against her forehead. Max, even, leaned forward with raised brows. Eloise flipped the lid open carefully, as if she were unveiling treasure, and everyone craned their necks. Inside, cushioned in black velvet, lay a necklace and earrings that seemed to catch the dim light and throw it back like fire. The necklace was simple yet stunning: a delicate platinum chain embroidered with little diamonds holding a single, perfectly cut teardrop diamond, clear and gleaming. Next to it, the earrings—slender tear-drop diamonds, each stone perfectly symmetrical, dangling just enough to sway elegantly without being gaudy. The room fell into a hushed awe for a beat. Sue’s mouth dropped open. “Sweet heavens. That’s not jewelry. That’s… that’s art.” Even Max came closer, crouching a little as though proximity would help him
Runway Matrix CHAPTER 32– Olive branch or Some Roses.
“Don’t wish, Eloise,” Sue said, pointing her fork at her. “Manifest. You hear me? Manifest. You’ll be eating croissants by the Seine with your man here before you know it.” Eloise blushed, swatting at Sue. “Sue!” “What?” Sue teased. “Don’t act shy now. You’ve been glowing since existed." Max cleared his throat, ears turning red. “I—” Sue leaned closer, smirking. “Tell me, Max. Are you two already—” she lowered her voice dramatically—“sharing the sheets?” Eloise gasped, covering her face in mock horror. “SUE!” "But I really want to know." She said, pretending to be distressed about it. Aurelia burst out laughing, nearly choking on her drink. “Oh my God, stop—look at Max’s face.” Max raised both hands defensively, his face a shade of pink no one could ignore. “We’re not—! I mean—it’s not—!” Kyle tilted his head up from Aurelia’s lap, curious. But did not have the chance to ask any more questions because his mother quickly said, "Oh, Kyle, sweetheart, never mind. Aunt
Runway Matrix CHAPTER 31– The Celebratory Dinner
Meanwhile, Eloise walked straight to the kitchen to peek at the stove. “Sue? Are you actually cooking?” Sue swatted her hand away from the pot. “Don’t act so shocked. I do cook sometimes. You’re not the only domestic goddess in the family.” Eloise leaned closer, sniffing dramatically. “Wow, and it even smells good. You must really love Aurelia to be this sweet.” Sue turned, narrowing her eyes with mock offense. “Excuse me? You’re one to talk. Look at you, dragging Max everywhere like a handbag.” Max, who had been standing awkwardly by the door, stiffened. “Hey—” Eloise’s face turned red. “Shut up, Sue.” But Sue was relentless, stirring the pot with exaggerated grace. “Oh please. The way you two are joined at the hip… Don’t tell me you’re not already doing the deed.” Aurelia gasped loudly, covering Kyle’s ears. “Sue!” Eloise smacked Sue's butt. “Don’t you dare—” Max nearly dropped his jacket, face turning beet red. “We—we’re not—! That’s not—!” He stammered, hands fly
Runway Matrix CHAPTER 30– Let the wind chase all the hurt.
He stepped closer, his hand lifting as if to touch her arm, to hold her still, to love her, to show her how much he loves her. "Babe—" “Don’t you dare touch me!” she screamed, her voice ripping from her chest. “Get out. Get out of my house, Lucas!” The words sliced through the room like a blade. Lucas froze, his hand falling to his side, his entire body sagging in defeat. He looked at her one last time—eyes red, shoulders heavy, as if leaving cost him more than he could bear. But he turned. Slowly, painfully, he walked to the door, every step echoing in the silence. He didn’t look back. The door shut softly behind him. And Aurelia—her strength collapsing with him gone—slumped onto the couch. Her body curled into itself, her hands covering her face as sobs wracked through her. She pressed her palms against her eyes, choking on the sound of her own heartbreak. The walls of the apartment, once filled with Sue’s laughter and Eloise’s warmth, now felt unbearably cold. She wept
