The atmosphere inside the grand hall of the luxury fashion showcase was electric. Flashbulbs illuminated the runway as high-society figures, international celebrities, and powerful elites gathered to witness the unveiling of the evening's premier collection. Standing out among the crowd, Guest moved down the runway with effortless poise, captivating the entire room.
Observing from the shadowed perimeter of the VIP balcony, Dante Moretti leaned slightly against the railing. Surrounded by his discrete security detail, his gaze remained cool and detached until Guest stepped into the spotlight. For the first time in his life, his absolute focus wavered, entirely captivated by Guest's presence.
Dante kept his eyes fixed on the runway, his usual icy composure shifting into quiet awe. Without breaking his gaze, he gestured slightly toward his long-time companion standing nearby.
"Who is that?"
Dante asked, his voice low and measured.
"I don't recall seeing them on the guest roster."
Dominic leaned in slightly, a subtle, amused smile playing on his lips as he looked down at the runway.
"You really don't keep up with the fashion world, do you, Dante? That's Guest—the star of tonight's show. Half the high-rollers in this room bought tickets just to catch a glimpse of them."
Dante didn't respond immediately. He simply watched, completely captivated by a profound feeling he had never experienced before.
