"Robbie, I'd like you to meet Mr. Williams."429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6ZO6vfhmD
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7R9mPFlXV9
I glanced up at the unfamiliar man standing in the doorway. He wore a chauffeur uniform with a matching hat and gloves. He looked to be in his late 60's and had a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2SlwA73C8
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25z70190A0
"Absolute pleasure to meet you, Ms. Quinn." He said in the thickest English accent. "We are more than thrilled to have you join the Wolfe home."429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrg7Ew6RAT0
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0pZksg2tO
I stammered, "G-great."429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdbKSvCnwJ
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz86DYsHm3W
Angel looked over and tossed me a black bag, "I got you some extra things as well and even took the liberty of getting what I felt was important from your apartment."429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTKZKigoBf
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCGDVqfqo8
"Really!" I beamed.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQxdKtQUoO
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5M3ogrSzQa
School books, cell phone and charger, toiletries, some of my favorite pieces of jewelry and snacks I had hidden from Josh under my bed.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruN9A3WQUT
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡky7LofBXQT
"I assumed the snack cakes were important." She winked and I started laughing loudly. "We did also grab some shoes and clothes we assumed you'd want and have already transported a large amount of your belongings to the estate."429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5Ap03tzv8
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMnr8Ie8qM
"Wow...Thank you! That means a lot." I told her wholeheartedly.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtA7tPkAevk
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcHPHG6IKj
I'm going to miss this strange, humorless woman. 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qU5YwUvpA
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wNCg527r1
"Of course! We want this to be a positive time and experience." She looked over at Mr. Williams with a look I couldn't decipher. "I think she's ready for you."429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoofK0cTEXy
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zgqi3RJBP
"Delightful! I'll be driving you today." He enthused and took my bags from me. "Would you like me to stop and get you something for dinner first?"429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzKKpncGCs
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9y9ApmyTZ
"Oh...wow..uh."429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzmVzSbC9E
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ492rVNyPct
"We'll decide in the car." He chuckled and gave Angel a parting glance before exiting.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Nlt9ZZfL7
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvgIiarPYe
"So..."Angel began and waited for him to be out of hearing distance. "I'll be keeping tabs on you...I put my number in your phone as well."429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjhxPNa0sK
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEIJnLvcXV
"Thank you," I replied and without thinking tossed my arms around her. "For everything."429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOCc9JssTz
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjvw7Mfy6w
She stiffened a bit by the sudden display of affection, but let her arms cradle me in the embrace.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2SYi5Fqcu
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVv3q7SZ7m
"Of course, Robbie. Let's get you down there."429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmMQWK35j4
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyim4almdac
The two of us headed down towards the front of the entrance where Mr. Williams waited in front of a sleek black Mercedes.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sD91CCjL8
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GA8csIltV
"Alright! I'll see you soon, Robbie. Take care and remember to call if you need me." Angel piped up from the side.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgPdsGz4hf
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DMhJlTqye
"She'll be in great hands," Mr. Williams assured her warmly. "Ready to go Ms. Quinn?"429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMPdL3hkDh
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlltGOVNql
I nodded, swallowing the lump in my throat. "Yes, sir."429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC61CbsAuQt
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrcLuPV5kO
I stepped toward the open door and glanced back giving Angel a worried look. She just smiled back at me and nodded.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPtfMSlkM9
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDeJIOHhbo
"Ready?" Mr. Williams mused as he stepped into the drivers side429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPcWJo3k0o
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNQYicrdkg
"Yes..."429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlYbqwfa8h
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XU4FS7ON6
The car started to pull away from the curb and I pressed my face against the window. The hospital disappeared too quickly and I could already feel the tears burning my eyes.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyfHM5yEEv
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlkaaIJAQn
_429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYvyONPTTo
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKTVpu1fGi
"We're here, Ms. Quinn."429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8J15bwGrV
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsNN9Qojoa
My eyelids fluttered as Mr. Williams spoke. The car now parked along some secluded dark pathway surrounded by massive trees.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbhbwze81v
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqNEaAgiBj
"Where's the house?" I asked, peering out the dark window.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfcA5I0kDf
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRJPdqu9gl
"About a 5 minute drive from here, Mrs. Williams will take you the rest of the way. I'll be finishing some errands immediately for Mr. Wolfe."429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd282rfYj3c
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJuHoYDhKC
"Is she your wife?" I wondered.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjw71yad602
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7GCnQBjug
"She sure is. My ball and chain."429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxR6VgkHe6R
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaPl0R4cxD
I smiled at his response just as a woman in a nightgown appeared on the path in front of us. A large, black jeep rolled silently behind her.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJP0KQyx7Te
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8E1NqKYeBI
Her peppered hair whipped around wildly as she walked towards the two of us. She had a massive smile on her face and nearly yanked open Mr. Williams door to greet him.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeihj8IO0v
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDky5A0bwx6
"Hello, Ms. Quinn!" She cheered as she caught sight of me. "I'm Mrs. Williams, but you're welcome to call me May."429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRvZ3LG9YJ
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgoi2dgP6R
I grinned back at her, relieved by her kindness. "It's a pleasure to meet you!"429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzVTpUsZXK
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuxago8kUg
"May, I'll be back in about twenty. Take her to the estate and get her settled?" Mr. Williams asked her and took her hands in his, kissing them gently.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGd3Z0navB
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3eFlO1ZOd
"Of course, love." She smiled down at him.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQr8N4emDp
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGT1Of1o28
The two of them embrace quickly and kiss one another with so much passion as if they wouldn't see each other again.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMKi1kwXZp
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxMckHGIrr
Watching them together really made me miss my parents. They were so in love.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AdENZy9nm
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKMyHtkwIL
A day didn't pass where they weren't cuddled up on the couch or getting lost in each other's eyes. I always admired that kind of romance and hoped one day I'd have that kind of connection with someone.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAh4af12F7b
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XipBhhbst
"Alright! Ready to finish this trip up?"May asked, pulling me from my thoughts.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3kCljwFWx
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupQtt53gKJ
"Yes ma'am!" I replied and watched as Mr. Williams climbed into the jeep parked across from us.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhD3GauSho
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhkknXUEq9
The drive up the path took only a few minutes before we came face to face with a massive gold gate blocking the entrance to another path that seemed to smooth out.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqbVguD4Z3
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNZWpIn0Lr
I watched silently as May leaned her body out of the driver window and typed in a password. The gates before us groaned open and pulled back allowing us to enter.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevY4cJ5HTi
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMJ3A6Yw5m
"Just wait til you see this house." May mused from the front seat. "Have you ever seen a 3.8 million dollar mansion?"429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIFPitqisX
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh112Mhr8ej
My jaw fell open, "3.8 million dollars?"429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4BYjfiF93
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvLQf2sSIz
She laughed loudly, "Mr. Wolfe is all about the riches."429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBughwDvTm
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hS1YMbBvZ
I peaked around her seat as a beautiful display of white lights shined out across the lawn lighting up the vehicle as she pulled around a large fountain in the middle of the drive way.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BGOGhlfCs
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3W2N2u7w8
Before us stood a home like nothing I could ever imagine. It's massive structure towered over the yard like a castle.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ILsjuQFWO
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhOOYliOAX
The garden looked so rich and green even in the dark. I noticed an Olympic size pool and several more ancient statues scattering the lawn that looked to be hundreds of years old.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhZrHKqESr
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclVDpIbY5I
"Welcome!" May cheered and turned the car off. "This is Mr. Wolfe's first home he ever purchased. It was built in 1910 and holds a grand library, home theater, indoor pool, and bowling alley."429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JZSsJm9i1
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITzRhzecDR
"He has his own bowling alley?" I gasped.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLuE7c7X5x
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyO2pfymzf4
She nodded and grabbed some bags from the front. "There are also several guest rooms home to Mr. Wolfe's staff including a grand kitchen and beautiful ballroom for entertaining his guests."429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhcIxkzEdT
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSG8rH9jANX
"Does he have many people over?" I wondered as she came to my door.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbG4aytRaYC
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegt8LwR4RV
"Not often," She shook her head and moved around me. "Mr. Wolfe is a man of...solitude."429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBY2tA7rVPE
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRzIbYXR4l
"What kind of work does he do?" I pushed, hoping May would give up something.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8w1KZC8C6a
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaMi9xeP2e
She averted her eyes, "Honestly, none of us know for sure. It's more of a need to know thing."429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89nw3CbDh0
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfBcWhkQwm
I nodded, laughing a bit. "Need to know." I repeated.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQ42A8oz6R
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bSylkXavM
"Now," May interjected and bumped the door shut with her hip. "Let me show you inside."429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCHCo4LlVZ
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7xXX3S0bd
I walked quickly behind her, trying to keep up with her pace. For a woman in her 60's she really does move freaking fast.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfYYwAipaG
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvE5euL6E1
"This is the foyer." She stated as we stepped through the all glass front door.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPp4s057yE
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEDYU3dw2x
Inside the home was even more elegant. The floors a beautiful warm wood with high expansive ceilings and chandeliers dancing in the light from above.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyepeunE1L
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePOnKctjcf
Never would've guessed a lonely dude in his 20's lived here. 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAPeRQYWCA
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1oG8FAfik
"This is stunning," I gasped and watched as several women in maid uniforms hurried over to us, gathering my belongings. "Does Mr. Wolfe have a partner?"429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYqQBMH43H
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HQNWmhc7t
"Like a wife?"May wondered, giving me a suspicious grin. "He's very single and very gorgeous."429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFt5nFSXCn
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3IGT8wgFZ
I scoffed, "Mrs. Williams! You're married."429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVy3fvTAGb
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6esZIk1lN
"May," She corrected and chuckled. "Mrs. Williams is so old sounding."429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8g0pIk5KP
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQoHxmns7f
I giggled at her and watched as she led the way up the stairwell that seemed to spiral forever until it reached the next level.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9v0wOcNKP
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRjtsddG1X
"You'll be staying on this side of the home," She told me and nodded down the hallway. "Your room is the second on the left."429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0i6Ns3Uwt
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6E3RQqznS
"Does he have a lot of other people here?"429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrxaWdcInw
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1tMTe58dP
She shrugged," Mostly employees really."429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpdIrz3DgU
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJclPx47sFr
May continued down the long dim-lit hallway and stopped in front of a set of double doors that towered over the both of us.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCI1xFqjT46
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6PtAna8uv
"Go on." She nodded towards it and waited patiently.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVRsfpPxMo
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiyjV7i2ou
I pushed on the doors hard until they groaned apart and swung away from one another. Inside, was a gorgeous room fit with a king sized bed in the middle dressed in the most stunning gold and white silk bedding. Mr. Wolfe had set up the room with items he probably assumed I'd get the most use out of.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGY12SGyfG
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51p6jFvVcX
A large flat screen TV sat mounted over a wide dresser supporting a mirror decorated in vanity lights. There was a desk and computer against the furthest wall and what looked to be a reading area made out of bean bags and blankets nestled into a little corner surrounded by book shelves built into the walls.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCK9uNJBNeu
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SxI6dOAQS
"Does he like to read?" I wandered and let my fingers brush along the edges of the wood.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4a2Rop8zI
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1csKHHQFx
"I'm not too sure what Mr. Wolfe fancies," May spoke from behind. "I make his meals and see him for all of three minutes before he's gone again."429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujJ9NHZMQG
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiDVqdn5XM
"Hmm."429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡii9zerk7gZ
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusmNhngA2n
"Anyways," May continued and sat the last bag down next to the others. "Check out your closet."429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80x0OoxPN3
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAs6TJP8cu2
I followed her gaze towards another set of doors next to where I assumed the bathroom is. May hurried past me and pushed against the doors. I watched in silence as they opened up to a room tall shelves full of the most elegant shoes dripping in diamonds and silk.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pXjcdlsIi
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYwbsutPCg
There were rods installed above one another displaying everything from extremely formal ball gowns to plain shirts and jeans. It looked as if most of them had tags still on them, which I definitely wanted to avoid reading.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzPa7r1DcL
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6JsWmPZYN
"This is..."I started as I lifted up the strap of a Gucci purse.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGVce8Fp3Q
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBbzJVX2MA
"Amazing?" May chirped, eyes lighting up with delight.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiIfvBiMFj
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tZgJSx8ru
I nodded and set it down, "I was going to say a little but much."429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdZ8kZ0Hmu
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3h6Fhu8j1d
"You get used to it."429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vffXYZkB7
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanriuzB1hP
I highly doubt that. 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZksg0hqnq
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78tBOpFqvB
"Anyways! I'll leave you to settling in for the night. Breakfast will begin at 7 am tomorrow morning." She told me and turned to leave.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJi2vqhwb9
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcebOgVGKwp
"Will Mr. Wolfe be present?"429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNFAa1Sn6b
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyr23kPIze0
She stopped, "He doesn't eat with anyone."429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgW3FxtijGG
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBJWY7gwSd
"That's kind of sad." 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfPdyhGLAQ
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iADPnE2vP
She glanced back at me, "I suppose it is."429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hu04LVRxw
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx14Q6otYg7
I watched May's back as she exited the room without another word.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqGp1ZW1ZK
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSh5eBKdQ3
I was alone again. For the first time, I had nobody.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡah9mA7hY8b
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9qxxiTJf4
Just me.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvdDWpskTM
