The guests were still murmuring in surprise when suddenly, a loud commotion erupted at the entrance.
The heavy double doors burst open, and a disheveled looking woman stumbled in, her face flushed and eyes wild.
Her hair was loose and her dress slightly wrinkled. Yvette's eyes went wide with shock as she recognized the woman instantly.
"Stop!" . The intruder cried out, her voice cutting through the elegant chatter. Heads turned in disbelief as all eyes fixed upon the uninvited guest.
"Nadia?" . Yvette whispered ,half-rising from her seat as she exchanged curious glances with Zeke, barely able to believe her eyes.
Nadia steadied herself adjusting her messy and distressed hair and dress. Her appearance now was a far cry from the girl few months ago. She now looks gaunt and pale.
Her gaze scanned the room desperately, then landed on Manuel who was standing behind Grandfather Lorenzo with a glass wine in his grasp.
