“Ladies and gentlemen, tonight we are here for something special, a seasonal line launch unlike any other. You’ll see autumn, winter, summer, and spring come alive on this runway. So sit back and prepare to be captivated… let the show begin!”

The music shifted, deep and commanding the lights dimmed, the crowd hushed with anticipation.

Then runway lights flared back to life and the first model stepped onto the runway.

She was draped in an autumn ensemble. A rich caramel trench coat cinched at the waist with a wide belt, paired with thigh–high boots in burnished leather. A mustard–gold scarf trailed elegantly as she moved, the crowd murmuring at how the shades captured falling leaves in motion.

“Wow…She’s captured autumn. Someone whispered in the audience.

Another model followed, her outfit layered with a wine–red velvet dress beneath a cropped wool jacket, ankle boots, and a leather satchel. The murmurs grew louder, guests nodding with admiration.

“I have no words. Someone whispered in a voice filled with admiration.

By the third model, autumn felt alive on the runway, earth–toned wide–leg trousers paired with a sleek olive blouse and a dark brown bomber jacket. The accessories bronze earrings and a slim church, tied the look together with subtle elegance.

“It’s not even autumn but I can literally smell autumn in the air? Another said.

The fourth glided in wearing a burnt–orange knit dress, cinched with a wide belt, paired with set food hugged her calves. The crowd gasped softly at how the fabric swayed with her every step.

Finally, the fifth model closed autumn with a stunning layered piece, a long plaid coat in rust and chemat tones over a silky forest–green slip dress. The balance of rugged and delicate drew quiet awe from the audience.

“I am definitely getting that whole autumn collection. A young girl in her early twenties whispered to ber friends who nodded in agreement.

“Me too.” One said.

“I thought you had reached your card limit for the month?” The first girl who spoke aded with a raised brom

“Yeah but daddy owes me for missing my birthday party last week” She shrugged her voice filled with pride

From the front row, Lucian leaned back slightly, his eyes never leaving the runway impressed

His voice, however, was low and controlled as he leaned toward Ace. “Tell the guards to stay sharps Leurs is here somewhere, I want him caught before this show ends

Ace’s expression hardened, his nod crisp. “Understood. I’ll see to it.”

Ace began to type away on his phone.

Across from them, Jessica watched with stiff composure. She forced a small smile, though her chest burned with jealousy.

The audience was enraptured by Alina’s work, their eyes drawn to every detail, but Lucian hadn’t spared her a glance since they arrived. He sat beside her with cold detachment, occasionally scrolling through his phone, his sharp jaw set as though the show were just background noise.

She knew better than to complain. Lucian Blackwood had always been dangerous, strict, unyielding. Crossing him was never an option.

The lights dimmed briefly again. Winter emerged.

The first winter model strode forward in an ivory wool coat that brushed the floor, cinched with a silver belt. Beneath, glimpses of a shimmering ice–blue gown appeared with each step. A collective murmur rippled across the room.

“Whoa.”

Next came a model clad in layered textures. A grey cashmere turtleneck tucked into sleek black trousers, topped with a snow–white faux–fur coat. Silver boots and matching gloves made the look sharp yet luxurious.

The third carried the aura of holiday nights, an emerald velvet dress paired with a cropped white capelet, sparkling earrings glittering under the spotlights.

“Stunning.” Someone breathed.

The fourth walked with poise, wearing a long quilted coat in midnight navy, cinched tight with a jeweled clasp, paired with high–heeled boots and a snowflake–studded clutch. Gasps echoed from the crowd.

The fifth brought winter to a close with a crystalline gown dusted with sequins that caught the light like frost. A faux–fur stole draped across her shoulders, the very image of an ice queen. The audience clapped softly in

reverence.

Murmurs filled the hall. “I need that coat.”

“That green dress, I’m buying it.”

“You see the accessories? Even the bags are perfect.”

The runway shifted again, this time brightening with golden light. Summer has arrived.

The first summer model swayed out in a breezy white sundress with thin straps, paired with a woven beach bag and strappy sandals. Her hair was pulled back with a flower clip, her smile radiant.

The second glimmered in a coral two–piece set, an airy crop top with flowing wide pants, styled with chunky jewelry and playful wedges.

The third brought vibrancy, her lemon–yellow slip dress paired with oversized sunglasses and a wide straw

hat.

The audience chuckled softly, murmuring about vacations.

Then came the fourth.

Talia.

She strutted boldly in a fiery red halter–neck gown with a daring slit, her confidence undeniable. The crowd erupted in whistles and applause, her energy commanding.

Alina, watching from backstage, couldn’t help but smile faintly, Talia was nervous, yes, but the moment she stepped on the stage, she owned it as if born to it.

From the front row, even Ace found himself momentarily still. His usual composed demeanor slipped, his eyes following Talia with an intensity he didn’t bother to mask.

For a brief second, the hardened guard looked almost human, stunned, quietly captivated. The corner of his jaw tightened, as though reminding himself to breathe.

The fifth summer model closed with a chic turquoise jumpsuit, cinched at the waist with a metallic belt, paired with gold sandals and bold earrings.

“Fashion for every age.” A woman whispered to her friend.

“I love that it’s wearable and not just for show.” Another replied.

“Even in summer, it’s not just simple, it’s stylish.”

Spring followed, fresh and alive.

The first model drifted out in a pale pink off–shoulder dress, soft ruffles trailing behind her, paired with a delicate pearl clutch.

The second brought playfulness, wearing a floral jumpsuit with pastel heels, her accessories light and whimsical.

The third appeared in a lavender silk blouse tucked into a mint–green skirt, her soft curls bouncing with each

step.

The fourth dazzled in a soft yellow chiffon dress, layered with a cream cardigan, her sandals delicate, her jewelry understated but elegant.

And finally, the runway hushed. The fifth model emerged.

It was Alina.
