A Journey from Bitterness to Truth (Matilda and Yvan) novel Chapter 341

Matilda saw herself in that moment, a version of her that once fought against all odds only to be left scarred and bruised by Yvan.

Later, she stood in front of the camera under the dim light, strumming an electric guitar and humming a tune all by herself. Though the melody was off-key, the contentment in her eyes was unmistakable, as if she had conquered the world.

The production team was instantly captivated by her natural performance. Eugene exchanged a knowing look with Asuka, whispering, "Thank goodness we convinced her to join. It would've been a huge miss without our star!"

Initially, Matilda portrayed a goth girl in the movie, which meant her hairstyle was quite unconventional. Her bangs covered most of her face, making her unrecognizable to those who didn't know her well, except for her plump, glossy lips hinting at her delicate features beneath.

Her journey took her to a bar, exclusively booked by the production crew for the shoot. Along the way, they recruited several male models to serve as her background, their presence weaving through the bar's ambiance. Adorned with a butterfly-shaped masquerade mask and swiping on red lipstick, she moved among the men with a bewitching charm, her slender figure and captivating presence reminiscent of a fluttering butterfly under the flickering lights, too delicate to grasp firmly.

Dressed in a sultry little black dress, Matilda navigated from one corner of the bar to another. Now and then, a stranger would embrace her, holding her close before she swiftly moved on, leaving behind a flirtatious gaze that seemed to say, "I'll come back for you next time."

This scene, lasting only a few seconds, flashed through countless moments. Beneath her mask, her face was delicately beautiful, her lips slightly parted, her eyes moist, captured forever by the camera under the skilled direction of the crew. When the male lead entered the scene, the dynamic between him and Matilda was palpable, their chemistry undeniable.
