Chapter 13

Author: Amy
Sophia bit her fingers nervously. She bit down again and again. Her lips and teeth were already bloody, but she did not notice.

She walked barefoot to the door and stared at the bodyguard who stood close by. Her eyes moved restlessly. She returned to the bed. Her fingers tapped on the bed rail, making a random, uneven sound.

Sophia had been locked in this room for a week. The doors and windows were all sealed. Guards stood at the door twenty-four hours a day. Her phone had been taken away long

    Henry’s eyes widened. “No! I…”“Henry…” Yvette stopped him. She said slowly, “This is what you deserve. You brought this on yourself.”She shook off his hand and walked into the falling snow without looking back.Henry froze in place as snow settled on his shoulders.He suddenly remembered the girl from years ago. She waited in the alley with teary eyes.The snow grew heavier.Yvette walked quickly through the snow. Tiny ice crystals clung to her eyelashes.She heard footsteps behind her. Henry was still following her!Just as she prepared to turn and yell at him, a tall figure appeared from the corner of the street. His black coat flared sharply in the wind.It was Jett.He held a black umbrella. His gaze softened when he saw her red nose, but stiffened when he noticed the figure trailing behind her.“Yvette…”He stepped forward and tilted the umbrella to shield her from the snow.He looked at her pale, cold fingers. Without asking, he took the sketches from her arms. “

    Back home, everything had fallen into chaos.Sophia stood outside the Lawson Corp building in a disheveled state. Rain ran down her face and mixed with her bitter tears.Security had just thrown her out. She had lost her last job.Her phone kept buzzing. Messages from unknown numbers flooded in, all filled with insults.[You liar. You seduced Xavier and set up the Lawson family. This is what you deserve!][Your photos are everywhere online. How do you still have the nerve to go out?]Her hands shook as she opened the trending news. Headlines covered the screen and made her eyes ache.[Breaking news!

She worked with Xavier Lane to steal Lawson Corp trade secrets!]In the video, she and Xavier kissed in a hotel hallway. The footage was clear.

    On the final day of Fashion Week, Yvette’s Broken Butterfly Wings collection closed the show.Models walked down the runway. They wore her designs and followed the rhythm of the music.Black sheer fabric looked like shattered butterfly wings. Crystals and pearls sparkled softly under the lights.The deliberate asymmetrical cuts and the broken-but-rebuilt lines told a story of pain and rebirth.Backstage, Yvette bit her lip nervously. She stared at the audience and watched their reactions.Jett stood beside her. He tapped her hand lightly and then held it gently.“Look.” He pointed to the end of the runway. “That is your work. This is your story.”When the final dress appeared, the audience fell silent.It was a pure white wedding gown. Countless butterflies were embroidered on the skirt. At the hem, the butterflies became more complete. At the chest, a golden butterfly spread its wings, ready to fly.“That’s…” Jett’s hand froze.“Cocoon,” Yvette said softly. “Pauline found me

    Henry stood on Fifth Avenue in New Yorke. Tiny snowflakes landed on his shoulders and melted almost immediately.He looked up at the giant Fashion Week poster a short distance away. Yvette’s name was written clearly.Back home, nothing had been resolved. Henry faced questions from his parents, pressure from the board, betrayal from the person he loved, and the ridicule of his rivals.Henry had faced more cold stares and indifference than ever before. He sold a part of his property, handed the company over to professional managers, and left all his troubles behind. He had come to New Yorke alone.But things were not going as he had hoped.“Sir, you need an invitation to enter the show.”The security guard blocked his way.Henry’s fingers trembled. He had no invitation. He wanted to say that he knew Yvette and had come to see her, but when he opened his mouth, the words were stuck in his throat.Who was he? What did he even mean to Yvette?Henry realized the only thing he could

    “Do you know why I chose the butterfly?” Yvette asked suddenly.Jett put down the sketch in his hand. His eyes landed on the tattoo behind her ear. “Only after experiencing the pain of breaking out of the cocoon can a butterfly spread its wings and fly. Am I right?”Yvette’s hand holding the pen shook slightly.Eight years of love had ended in nothing but a joke.She had once thought she would be trapped forever in that dark, rainy night. She had thought she would remain stuck in the moment Henry chose to save Sophia and abandon her.“If you need me,” Jett said, “next week is Fashion Week. If your collection needs some inspiration from architectural elements, I can give you some advice.”He did not expect her to reply. He did not even look at her.He sat quietly and left the decision entirely to her.Yvette’s eyes flickered. His voice was soft and gentle, yet it felt like a key opening the door to her tightly shut heart.He stayed at the doorway and patiently waited for her to

    Winter came fast and harsh in New Yorke.She let out a soft breath. A small patch of mist appeared on the glass window. She moved her finger across it and drew lines without thinking.The table beside her was piled with sketches. The mist slowly disappeared. She turned back to the design and stared at the broken butterfly on the page. She spun the charcoal between her fingers and pressed it down to draw a long, sharp crack across the wing.“Yvette, your ‘Broken Butterfly Wings’ collection has been fully pre-ordered by Chanel!”Her mentor, hair messy from the cold wind and holding a bottle of champagne, stepped into the studio. She froze when she saw the crumpled sketches all over the floor.“Sweetheart, this is something to celebrate. You should be standing under the spotlight or at a lively party. You shouldn’t lock yourself in here like a snail.”Pauline Jacob put down the champagne and carefully stepped over the piles of paper.Yvette did not seem to hear her. She bent to pic
