Xavier stood before the floor-to-ceiling mirror in his private closet, his fingers gliding over the lapels of his tailored charcoal suit with deliberate precision.

The dim light caught on the platinum cufflinks he locked in place as if the suit itself bowed to his presence.

The scent of expensive cologne mingled with cool air conditioning, crisp and commanding. Behind him, rows of handcrafted shoes and silk ties stood in perfect order and he picked one amongst the many. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

He was happy and, at the same time nervous about meeting his child today. This should be the happiest day of his life, but a certain fear lingered in him. For the first time in his life, he was afraid of being rejected.

A silent knock suddenly sounded by the door and without waiting to be told, Brown stepped in.

"Boss." He called. He was dressed in his signature brown suit, his hair neatly combed to the back ready for the event of the night.

They have been waiting for this moment for 20 years now. Brown was happy that finally, his boss could be human again. He could only hope that everything goes as planned.

"Did you send the invitation to her?" Xavier asked without looking at his assistant’s way.

"Yes sir. I even told her you had personally invited her over." Brown said calmly. "You wouldn’t believe it if I told you, she’s grown more beautiful boss and now looks so much like you." Xavier finally turned to face his assistant.

"Really?" He asked calmly. This was the only time this devil was human. When his daughter is being mentioned.

"Yes, boss. She’s even more beautiful than the last time you saw her." Brown announced seeing how happy his boss looked right now.

"It’s time for her to come back home, Brown. She’s stayed away from her father for too long." Xavier combed his hair one last time before heading out of the room to welcome his guest.

He had invited everyone to this wonderful ball. He was ready to announce his heir to the world. He wanted the whole of Owlsgrave to know who his child was.

It was time for her to return home.

"But we have a problem boss," Brown said for Xavier to pause in his step.

"From the information I got. I think the madman is too attached to Miss Penny. They’re inseparable. That will be a problem." Xavier frowned.

"A madman cannot be my problem, Brown." Xavier declared and stepped out of the room. He had waited for 20 years for this moment. Even if it meant killing the madman, he was ready to do it. Anything to get his daughter back.

Penny stared at her reflection, even though she could not recognize herself anymore. Since when was she this beautiful?

She had lost hope in life but now she stared at her new self, she was confident again.

Penny finally rose from her seat, standing before the floor-to-ceiling mirror as she stared at her reflection. The dress she wore was not so tight and not big either.

It fitted her perfectly, defining her curves in a way that made her look breathtaking. For the first time in her life, she didn’t have to wear a corset for an event.

All she needed to do was push her tummy in and it’s all flat and beautiful.

Never in a million years did she ever believe she would look this way.

This is all she has dreamt of. All she ever wanted. It was time to make everyone who ever bullied and insulted her eat their words.

"You look so beautiful, madam." One of the maids there couldn’t hide her mouth anymore. They had no idea how it happened, but before their eyes, the ugly duckling that arrived a few months back had turned into a beautiful damsel.

They have all watched her grow and they were happy because, to them, Penny deserves every good thing in the world for her kind heart.

To them, she was the best thing that happened to the Adkins family.
