Harry was dawdling around the corridor leading downstairs with photos in his hand, he kinda felt relieved, no one to defend again, no more thousand security on his doorstep, he's perfectly free to go anywhere he wished now.
He stare at the photo with an ardent look in his eyes it wasn't so long when it abrade to no man island. tears dripped down his face, he was just unable to bear the pain.
he was bereaved of the past memory with his family and friends.
He breaks down in sadness to the left wall of the corridor, he was pointing his finger at the people in the image, it was a family photo. The smile on their faces was so strong. he can't just let go of the photo, it was his family photo.
"I love you all", he mumbled kissing the photo.
folding the photo into his pocket, he wiped off tears and careened through the corridor.
He could still remember how Kelly destroyed Bugati and the men in the room, he admired the elegant move in the room. for him, it was the best move so far in his memory.
"Kelly", he whispered stepping on the stairs
"Yes dad", Kelly's words resound in his brain, he can't just let go of that serious moment Kelly responded to his call with "yes dad".
A maid in black and white stalked beside him, fiddling with her fingers, her sight was fixed to the floor,  Harry was too smart to notice her presence beside him.
"Good morning sir", she bows, handing him an envelope, "I found it in the mailbox earlier", that is why I assist to bring it to you, sir. She was unable to fix her eyes on Harry.
"Thank you", he appreciates walking down the stairs, his head was crowded with different feelings about bringing his family back together.
If Kelly was his son, then he can't just imagine spending time with him all day long, asking him to tutor him with all the best fighting moves.
He had a seat on the sofa, picking up the magazine that was placed on the table, he spread it open, his eyeballs dangling, it could clearly show he was lost in reading the magazine.
The living room was properly kept to his satisfaction, the morning sunray was nourishing the room, making it warm, and the window was just left open for the breeze to assemble into the room.
There was just a long silence in the room, he drops the magazine, bringing out the envelope that was given to him earlier by the maid.
"Invitation later from Philip," he said smiling. He can't just wait to attend the welcoming back celebration of Philip.
The door was opened by a pretty lady at early 23, her long black hair spreading down her shoulder, she was black in complexion, slim and of normal height.
She dragged in her rolling luggage, the door closed. She stopped staring at the house with serious astonishment in her eyes. She could still recall the image of the house far back before this day lot had changed in the house, running from the gate to the living room.
"Hello Dad", she called
Harry that was reading the invitation letter, he was baffled and looked up,
"Elly", he called with shock in his tone, he never expected her, "what are you doing here?" He interpolates, glancing at her.
"It's just a surprise", she smiles walking toward him. "I know if I told you I'm coming - it will be hell no!!" She grouse, farrowing her brow before having a seat on the sofa.
She didn't hesitate to look in Harry's eye, she just believe he never needed her around the house, all she always do is not always wrong.
she's the one that just decided to surprise someone that never appreciates her present.
She tucked her hair, fiddling with her fingernails, she was just expecting Harry to just carryout his last command as he always does.
You know I love you, Elly, he said calmly nudging her on the shoulder,
she smiles still not looking at him. "As I always said - you are not safe here", he said placing his hand on her shoulder, peeking a glance at her.
Her eyes were so cold, she looked so childish, she just needs Harry's presence to make her feel okay, she just need to spend some days with him. She breaks the contact tilting her sight to the floor.
"Why dad? , Why I'm not always safe when I'm closer to you?", she roared with tears breaking down from her eyes.
The look in her eyes got Harry flabbergast, he had never expected to see her in such bittered mode.
"I'm sorry little darling", he grinned, wiping off the tears from her face.
"You're free to stay - long as you may wish but", there was a serious break in his tone, she arch brow, staring at him, hoping he's not just changing his mind.
"But what dad?", she asked impatiently, with her fingers shivering, she felt a cold finger landing on them.
"You're free to stay but no party", he said imperiously, she huffed, she never like the idea but she just needs to follow orders to be here.
"Uhm.. yes.. no party", she maunders relinquishing her statement, she wished to protest but there's no room for that now.
"Is okay, I have a serious surprised for you", he whispered sending her into suspense - just guess the answer.
"Dad you just know I'm not good at doing that", she farrow, her heart was pondering to know what this surprise is just all about.
"Okay... Okay... Since you can't guess, then no surprise for you Elly", he smirk, watching her dying of knowing what the surprise was all about.
"Is it about Philip's return dad?" She just prayed for the answer to be capital No, cause almost everyone heard about that and that cannot be a surprise for her.
There was a strong silence between the two parties, she never enjoyed her father's silence, but she grow up to love him that way.
"You try but no", he sniggered.
"You have a brother, Elly". She baffled, gaping at Harry that was about to make his leaves.
She was just unable to speak, dad never told her anything about having a brother, then how come - one?
"Dad her you serious?" She hollered.
he stopped at the exit door looking at her, he could signal the surprise scribbling down on her face - she was as surprised as he was too.
"Yes Elly", he winked at her before closing the door.
"If she had a brother - that a good idea. Then where is he?", She pondered hysterically. No need for that, she hisses.
A maid assisted her in rolling her luggage into her room.
"I can't just wait to meet my brother."
*********
The cosmetics store was crowded with people moving in and also going out with different goods, Kelly was in a black suit, holding his briefcase, he enjoyed the chittering from the store.
He walked in majestically, it takes him seconds and more to make a single step on the floor, the breeze blowing his hair make it ruffle, his eyeball was just fixed on the image of Philip that was posted around the shop.
"Kelly Kelly", he heard the sharp call from the crowd, he flinched, sticking to his direction,
"Kelly", he heard the voice calling his name again, he impeded, peering through the crowd, fathoming with the voice of the caller
"Over here",
he saw fingers waving for his attention, she looked familiar to him but the only exception was her different outfit. She was Emilia's maid.
She was more beautiful in the dress, he walked up to her.
"looking for Emilia" ? she chuckle
He glanced at her in amazement, "are you still there", she snapped making him blink
"Uhm.. sorry - you're free", he nodded smiling at her.
she Walked into the narrow space and he followed her up to cover up the gap.
Few a minutes' walk she opened the door. the room was properly designed and arranged to be a living room but not.
Emilia was pacing around the room with different documents in her hand, she was deep into it.
"Hello, ma'am.
Kelly wants to see you".
Emilia stopped when she heard the name kelly. she never expected Kelly, he just liked showing up unexpectedly.
She turned around, she was not expecting him, "going somewhere Kelly", she asked having a seat.
"Yes", he mumbled seating at the extreme of the long cough.
The maid left closing the door.
"Kelly", she called remaining mute for some seconds, Kelly didn't hesitate to ask her anything he was just going through the file in the briefcase.
"I want to use this medium and say thank you for what you did so far, I so much appreciate your good work". She smiles.
Kelly only steal a glance at her, her smile was so touching and deep, he huffed closing the briefcase
"You're welcome, Emilia.
is high time I take my leave", he chuckled.
"Please do me a favour to attend my dad's celebration", she said handing him an envelope.
The door when opened by the maid, making a way for Elly, her intricate appearance makes Emilia gape, she was astounded to see her.
"El.. ly", she maundered.
Elly, she yelled in a surprised tone.
