Again!! Wow, thanks babe for the golden ticket. (⁠〃ﾟ⁠3ﾟ⁠〃⁠)

"Is she here yet?" Xavier asked the man who walked up to him, his eyes scanning each guest as they arrived one after another.

"No, I’ve not seen anyone that looks like the girl in the picture," Barry said to his brother. He could see he was slowly losing his patience, but he held himself still.

Xavier said nothing. He stood on the balcony overlooking the grand ballroom, one hand on the railing, the other gently swirling the amber liquid in his glass. His tailored suit clung to his powerful frame like a second skin, but tonight, he looked like a statue, still, cold, and unyielding.

Below them, the elite of Owlsgrave laughed, mingled, and raised their glasses, completely unaware that the man above was losing patience by the second.

"Enjoying the view?" Barry asked as he stepped beside him. But Xavier still didn’t answer. He just watched.

"Enjoying the view?" Barry stood next to his brother, both people watching the guest step and that’s when they saw her.

Walking in with her husband on her arm.

Barry’s jaw clenched. "She has some nerve," he said.

"She was invited," Xavier replied, still watching.

Barry turned, eyes wide. "You invited her?"

"I invited everyone. Anyone who could lead my daughter to me."

"And you think the woman who’s kept your child from you all these years would suddenly hand her over at a party?"

"She might not," Xavier said, finally sipping his whiskey, "but someone else might."

Barry ran a hand down his face. He couldn’t argue, not tonight. "Your guests are growing restless. You promised to introduce the Bloodsworth heiress, yet here we are. Still waiting."

It’s the reason he was here, but seeing his brother in a foul mood, he couldn’t bring himself to say anything. Now he had to say it.

"Maybe you should come greet them to stall time," Barry suggested but his brother said nothing to him. He just stared at the door in silence. His eyes soften every time he sees the door open and harden when it’s another guest.

He had told his elder brother throwing a feast for his daughter was a bad idea. The girl barely knew who he was, what makes him think she would honor his invitation?

Maybe they could have visited her like normal people and informed her about the situation. And then after that, they host a party for her introduction, but his brother wouldn’t listen to him.

"Everyone’s running out of patience Xavier. How long do you think we can keep them here?" Barry asked, but Xavier only took another sip of his drink.

He was losing it too, but he tried to calm down. His precious little girl might have been scared by how he approached her. Maybe it’s the reason she refused to attend.

Should he have invited her himself?" Xavier sighed. Just then, he saw the Peterson’s step in, and his face lit up. But his baby was not with them.

They had come alone. He frowned. The only reason he had even invited them was so that Penny could tag along and yet, his daughter was left at home.

He should kick them out for good. He should teach them a little lesson for not bringing his child with them.

"Xavier..."

"An hour more Barry. If she doesn’t arrive in an hour, we’ll apologize for wasting their time and end the party." Xavier said calmly.

"Alright. I’m sorry things had to turn this way." Barry said sincerely. He has watched his brother suffer for so many years and just when he thinks he finally has his child, she’s not very far away from him.
