    "Lia, I missed you." Only those  words came out of Kylie when Lia started to cry. Kylie was sorry and wanted to cry but, she never cried in her life. She didn't know how to cry. No matter how much she was hurt or helpless she never cried. Lia wiped out her tears and plastered a smile on her face. Kylie's favourite was Lia's smile when she smiled Kylie felt secured.

    "I came here with my boyfriend. His name is Evan." Lia said staring at Evan who was coming with two icecreams in his hands. Kylie was surprised and happy. He brought the girls back together and Kylie was thankful. "Evan? Really? He is really your boyfriend? Wow!" Kylie asked shaking her from the shoulders with excitement. "Evan, you are really meant to be part of my life." Kylie said to him with sarcasm. "You know Evan?" Lia asked Kylie. "It's a long story. Don't worry he is all yours." Kylie teased her. "Stop teasing me. Who did you come with?" Lia said with her eyebrows raised because of curosity. "Hello. I'm Matt. She is with me. I am her friend." Before Kylie could say anything Matt answered. Kylie was dumbfounded as he lied about their relationship. Her anger doubled. "All of us can continue our trip together." Lia said putting her hand around her dragging to the long queue.

    Mr. Weatherby walked in. "Good afternoon sir! How can I help you?" Juliana greeted him. "Good morning Jule! It's been a long time. Remember me?" Mr. Weatherby asked her. She tried to find someone similiar to him in her memory. "Robert?" She asked with an uncertain look. "Bingo! You are smart as usual." He said trimphantly. "Oh! I didn't expect to see you again. How are you doing now?" She asked her old friend. "I am doing good." Then he paused for a moment. "I can see that you are also doing quite well. You never married? Still that independent girl?" He said looking at her hands which hand no sign of wearing a ring. 

    Only the sound of the wall clock occured in the room for a while. Juliana sighed as if she just opened something very heavy which was hidden deep inside. "The funeral was the last time I met you all. How is Sophie doing?" Juliana asked remembering her heart breaking past. "She died, not long after Holy's death." He said after putting the words properly. "I am terribly sorry. It must have been a huge blow." She apologized him. "Well it was a huge blow for me. Her health status became bad little by little after Holy's death." When he said that Juliana's heart was already hurt becuase the wound in her heart was back. "After all Holy was her sister. Both of them depended on each other. But Sophie was quite shy and she was easily scared. She didn't have a strong heart since she was small. Holy's support made her stand up and move forward. Her death wasn't something she could swallow. I should have known that she wanted someone to rely on. After all Viola was there for her." Juliana said to comfort him and she wanted a valid reason for not being with her when Sophie needed her the most. She regretted leaving them. If she knew before she would never leave. She felt terrible. "Hmm... That must have been their destiny. Both of them lived a short life but, the fate was playing with their lives. We don't have to live in that past. It is better to move forward." Mr. Weartherby told her the same thing he kept repeating his heart when he was reminded about that time. "But it is hard." Juliana said with tears in her eyes.

    "No more of that. I came here for a more important thing. I need to talk with you properly." Mr. Weatherby changed the topic. "Yeah sure. Let's go inside. I'll bring you some snacks and a drink. What do you prefer?" Juliana asked. "Well I prefer an orange juice as I don't take drinks." He replied. "You haven't changed a bit. Still don't drink. Go inside I'll be back in a minute." She smiled at the person who was still the same as the boy she met 17 years ago.

    "So what is it that you have to be this secretive? By the way how did you find me?" Juliana came to her office room with some cake and two glasses of orange juice in her hand. "I have my ways and I don't think that is really important." Mr. Weatherby said going back to his playful self. "Well, for me that is really important but, I'll let you finish whatever you have to say." Juliana said pulling her chair back to sit. "I hope you won't have a surprise fit or anything after hearing my news." He said after she sat. "You don't have to be that exaggarative about it. Just split it." Over powering sarcasm was in her. "Well this is about Kylie._" He started. "You know Kylie?" Juliana interrupted him before he could continue any longer. "No interruptions until I finish it. If you have anyhting you want to know more about. Ask it later." He said sternly. "So, Kylie. She is Holy's daughter. I want you to protect her. I am worried that people might try to hurt her." He said it in a simple way. "You mean Kylie Hazel? The girl who works as my assistant? You got to be kidding." The shocking news was over whelming for her. "Yes the only Kylie Hazel you know is the only daughter of Winchest and Holy." His face said that he expected such reaction from her. "What do you mean? When did she get pregnant? Explain all." Juliana was restless after hearing what he just said. "So all I know is that she had a child from Winchest. As I understood Holy gave him the letter on the day she died. He made sure that she was safe from all the mess. After he died he left most of his fortune for her. Right now, she is the legal owner of three quarter of his properties including all his business activities but, he left the estate in England and few small businesses for Viola. He already bought an estate for Kylie secretly before he died and it is in USA. I officially informed her about those. Not as his friend but as his legal advisor and lawyer. But Kylie didn't believe me and she ran away from the orphanage. As far as I am concerned she lives a quite a good life here and I don't want to bring her trouble by making her the icon for the media. Also Viola is furious about this plot twist and she planted her men to search her. Violla will find her sooner or later but, we have to delay it as much as we can." Mr. Winchester stopped for breathe and took a sip from his juice. "You mean when she came to that party organized by Viola she already had a child? But how could that be possible I met her three months before that day." She said before he could start again. "You never told us that you met her." Mr. Weatherby was convinced that there another story he didn't know.

"Well, she was not with us a very long time. She was very busy that was what we knew. I saw that Viola and Winchest was getting closer day by day. I didn't want to keep Holy in the dark. She had the right to know. I tried to tell it since I saw them together for the first time but, I couldn't reach Holy. After trying for days or more specifically months I finally got in contact with her again. We met and I told her all about it. The surprise was her reaction. She looked like that she knew it already. I still don't know what she hid from us but, I think Kylie is one of those deep hidden secrets." Juliana made herself clear. It looked like she wasn't that close to Holy. She felt bad for her. "Wait that means she didn't have any busy schedules. It was because she was pregnant that she went but, why did she do that? She can be with him after they marry." Suddenly that popped into her mind. But that question was lingering in her mind Juliana wanted to know an acceptable reason to all these. 'Why did she hide it? But if she wanted hide it why did she come back and gave that letter to him? Did she know that she was going to die that day?' Those questions kept haunting Juliana's mind. She knew that a huge unsolved mystery was waiting for her to be solved.

"Juliana, I don't think I can stay here for long. I prefer to stay unnoticed. I don't want to see her runaway again. I had quite a hard time finding her. For now let the unsolved mysteries remain as they are. Your first priority to protect her and if something happens call me as soon as you can. This is my card." He said after checking the time on the wrist watch. He pushed the chair to leave and gave the business card to Juliana. "Absolutely, you can keep full trust in me Robert." She said to make sure that he had no doubt. She opened the door for him to leave. "Well I have a lot of questions to ask from you. Regarding a lot of things." She stopped him one last time. "We have to wait for the right time. We will meet again for sure." He said with confidence and closed the door of his car.

After he left she didn't feel like working anymore. All those surprises from the past was too hard for her to take in. Though she looked stronger from outside she was no longer as strong as before. She locked the door and headed to her house for a warm shower to ease her mind and body.
