THE BRIDGE BETWEEN REALMS.

ding the tears from anyone that may be present in the room even when she knew she was the only one there.

She reminded herself that it was a happy day, not a day to cry, she wasn going to allow anything to ruin her mood.

Genevieve was swiftly interrupted by a knock on the door.

”Come in. ”

”The designer is here Miss, ” Victoria explained.

Surprisingly to Genevieve, the day went by a lot faster than she imagined.

After her breakfast, she had to meet with the designer to choose a dress for the party. She wanted to make the process as quick as possible but with the instigation of the designer she tried out a lot of dresses which were, of course, her preference, she wasn a pushover but for some reason, she wanted to look her best today, she was careful to choose dresses that were not too exposing because of two reasons, firstly because she wasn the type to dress provocatively and secondly to hide her wounds.

By the end of the day, she was already stressed from the experience.

” You are going to be turning heads tonight ” Victoria stated after helping Genevieve to adjust her dress with Kimberly nodding in agreement.

Genevieve walked towards the mirror to gaze at her reflection. The white color of the dress enhance her beauty like it was customized and blended with her beautiful golden locks and fair skin so perfectly that it gave her an angelic look and her usual dull green eye gave off a vibrant glow, they were like gems.

Her maids were happy with the liveliness they could see in their mistresss eye, it had been a long time since they saw them so animated, it could only be for one reason which is the return of the young lord.

”We have to leave quickly Miss or you are going to be late. ” Victoria voiced.

Genevieve walked out of her room gracefully with only one thought on her mind, she was going to be seeing her brother today.

The people invited were entirely people related to the Corleone name. it was after all a family gathering.

The Corleone household is indeed a big one, consisting of relatives dwelling in different parts of the world, who are rich and powerful.

The name Corleone would make almost every person quiver. yes, they were rich and powerful having numerous heads for generations with Vincenzo Corleone known to be the cruelest head the Corleone had ever had in history.

The position as head of the Corleone is one that many have wished to covet, on the outside it may look like a celebration of the return of a successor but truthfully it is just an illustration or rather a battle of strength, to judge whether indeed he is worthy as not everyone would agree to such an arrangement.

The funny thing about the matter was the fact that her brother never wanted to be head of the Corleone, but perhaps he might have changed his mind, Genevieve reasoned.

Genevieve took a deep breath as the herald announced her name.

” Presenting the Young mistress of the house Genevieve Nadia Corleone. ”

Genevieve descended the stairs and all eyes moved to her as they watched intently, she could see a lot of emotions in their eye, some admiration, some distaste, some lust, and others were just passive. She moved her eye away from their faces and gazed forward, wishing everything would be over quickly, she disliked being the center of attention.

After descending the stairs she was quickly pulled to the side by a figure.

”wow you look, great girl, I was starting to think you wouldn put in an effort for once Im glad that Im wrong. ”

Genevieve moved her eye to acknowledge the figure with the familiar voice.

” Freya, ” Genevieve muttered.

”The one and only ” Freya declared. ” Surprised to see me? ”

Genevieve didn say anything as Freya pulled her to the side, Freya is her cousin and in a way her childhood friend.

”It doesn matter if you missed me or not but youll be seeing me a lot as of now. ”

Subconsciously a simple crept across Genevieves face.

” I came with my dad as soon as I heard the news, I really can believe your brother is finally coming home. Freya said in excitement ” I bet he would be very handsome and manly by now ”.

Someone watched from the shadows with gritted teeth and angry stares as Freya pulled Genevieve to get a drink.
