"Robbie, I'd like you to meet Mr. Williams."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDl8RkYV9vh
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUIKUG7QD5
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.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsw2fHGcB4q
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LgPIifMYo
"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."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsSfbHJmsk
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSr37iwlQIx
I stammered, "G-great."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDHisdHX7Q
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIV1iPDA4dj
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."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4UqUX3JHz
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGnElGP23q
"Really!" I beamed.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokVgcOL73Q
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphKPyLNStl
School books, cell phone and charger, toiletries, some of my favorite pieces of jewelry and snacks I had hidden from Josh under my bed.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFqBC2xdZb
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVWSeiO8YL
"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."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMIbC741AW
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMb6dukXwUf
"Wow...Thank you! That means a lot." I told her wholeheartedly.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38w8xMXFOk
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgLZAwBftT
I'm going to miss this strange, humorless woman. 353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXxGQnQT3D
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXBLsVeXQ8
"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."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM577xtFbCr
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4FJYDNome
"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?"353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgYs3HqiTB
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYGTyV5bzS
"Oh...wow..uh."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDRo22Xfk3
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmonGLg0ov
"We'll decide in the car." He chuckled and gave Angel a parting glance before exiting.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIgm9Y8Sd5
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnx8IOSrnFs
"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."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwl00VnzfM
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHSZ2yzPgC
"Thank you," I replied and without thinking tossed my arms around her. "For everything."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawq3xXawkt
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaeG6WNuEA
She stiffened a bit by the sudden display of affection, but let her arms cradle me in the embrace.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpBfuHCEvG
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyj5MunmiZ
"Of course, Robbie. Let's get you down there."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVw5Lh4Hyhx
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Aqfu60Y1B
The two of us headed down towards the front of the entrance where Mr. Williams waited in front of a sleek black Mercedes.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TDKTFc8YS
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWi0Ua2ZmsR
"Alright! I'll see you soon, Robbie. Take care and remember to call if you need me." Angel piped up from the side.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbeZRfllCq
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ql5kVg3OL
"She'll be in great hands," Mr. Williams assured her warmly. "Ready to go Ms. Quinn?"353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCDqW2MfOH
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnrfIYs3oa
I nodded, swallowing the lump in my throat. "Yes, sir."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXnO9LnSLG
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxPLJuSyYZ
I stepped toward the open door and glanced back giving Angel a worried look. She just smiled back at me and nodded.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1eJ8xWPkl
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzonyIzxYHa
"Ready?" Mr. Williams mused as he stepped into the drivers side353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbYLCN6Gm5
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVsZxD6eaN
"Yes..."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqHledB9e5
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKcgFWkHSa
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.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9eRlkYbIo
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXIdgahrmL
_353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUd1p5NEiLy
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5vrifUd53
"We're here, Ms. Quinn."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7Z693WzfR
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuF9DOmYFH
My eyelids fluttered as Mr. Williams spoke. The car now parked along some secluded dark pathway surrounded by massive trees.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmAX1dj067
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeo5fhk3SbE
"Where's the house?" I asked, peering out the dark window.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ExAFGN5C6
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkhnTrxcol
"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."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwehaxwInb
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXakXbQeFDs
"Is she your wife?" I wondered.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn6bwbYtdx
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSiLVVyVcb
"She sure is. My ball and chain."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHk1D0rFdE
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybHMDv5ybh
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.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSd89u6rG1i
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXOkQkmXLY
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.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRmjXF4Aaa
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTkhYlKiB2
"Hello, Ms. Quinn!" She cheered as she caught sight of me. "I'm Mrs. Williams, but you're welcome to call me May."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ngKjJ1gh4
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVASH9QRDL
I grinned back at her, relieved by her kindness. "It's a pleasure to meet you!"353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrPx8Zy3b4
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHhs4yZA3a
"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.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsXP19dVbT
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslec2PEqzm
"Of course, love." She smiled down at him.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0u7XYgwjL
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGzvQxB3sg
The two of them embrace quickly and kiss one another with so much passion as if they wouldn't see each other again.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAFQ8xY2kZ
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK56BlYUODH
Watching them together really made me miss my parents. They were so in love.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5VeGChsN6
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOA5aFdnFC
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.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfj2MYzEm2v
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5rI4uBATy
"Alright! Ready to finish this trip up?"May asked, pulling me from my thoughts.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnuNCLmTKu
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34B4qQQEY7
"Yes ma'am!" I replied and watched as Mr. Williams climbed into the jeep parked across from us.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEw3QM4T2FE
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWMUch2dHV
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.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡff3y2eiXz6
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3p8bEcQ0O
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.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLep08r3N9
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWchdm8nl5
"Just wait til you see this house." May mused from the front seat. "Have you ever seen a 3.8 million dollar mansion?"353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuuYsIxshm
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzBj8TJMfb
My jaw fell open, "3.8 million dollars?"353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUT6KeLLNjc
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51jnMKOiWz
She laughed loudly, "Mr. Wolfe is all about the riches."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXq3ZGidQG
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU87rAHBQiz
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.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCePHN8yebD
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1GQlhHjUB
Before us stood a home like nothing I could ever imagine. It's massive structure towered over the yard like a castle.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoNsfEWBDI
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52kb1g6RUf
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.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByJlCnpKd9
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZd65gWsSS
"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."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FwNY0peXx
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjLqnIUNRa
"He has his own bowling alley?" I gasped.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxMVXo23Vy
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqyqZQmUEW
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."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUSvg4lz8y
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2HZTYoAGm
"Does he have many people over?" I wondered as she came to my door.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSD85ob77r2
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaI2p4B4Md
"Not often," She shook her head and moved around me. "Mr. Wolfe is a man of...solitude."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp76WR5KbHe
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWzP4RxFZq
"What kind of work does he do?" I pushed, hoping May would give up something.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3YXLZxvsQ
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyRla6wt33
She averted her eyes, "Honestly, none of us know for sure. It's more of a need to know thing."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1q1OvnaUb
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3RAmNPyQ2
I nodded, laughing a bit. "Need to know." I repeated.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF02OxLgfq0
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDyYLu9pUe
"Now," May interjected and bumped the door shut with her hip. "Let me show you inside."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmvwURCbxa
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ppbVPguIU
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.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7Mk50MenY
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckEiiIShqo
"This is the foyer." She stated as we stepped through the all glass front door.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5B4bMByrY
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXztiF2kCxa
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.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqSnL59wRt
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVcztOuoa0
Never would've guessed a lonely dude in his 20's lived here. 353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIX7VBSm10
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJXyGbDOPy
"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?"353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74fuYNIn28
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1r0KxEiMz
"Like a wife?"May wondered, giving me a suspicious grin. "He's very single and very gorgeous."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7zIUfJCSb
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjD1aqRf1Z
I scoffed, "Mrs. Williams! You're married."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGrNZce6XA
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fzF31vZV3
"May," She corrected and chuckled. "Mrs. Williams is so old sounding."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgo8cvc2ujQ
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsAxyvxwji
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.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaNlyCtivZ
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKxBa7W0F6
"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."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBgcTxOYZC
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdR2Tkv70q
"Does he have a lot of other people here?"353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwWlx38uMX
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSgZnzh9k2
She shrugged," Mostly employees really."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTyodIVZJx
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQhnlpTVvJ
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.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNJnGILZv2
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYLBRf9xNJ
"Go on." She nodded towards it and waited patiently.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5hfEPIrxa
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulplHvjP6X
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.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8XXhy1SGi
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1c2C5zP4fP
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.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ftWJwcjHo
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSYemfxnln
"Does he like to read?" I wandered and let my fingers brush along the edges of the wood.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauMOIsi8qd
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHk50ZAbTDk
"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."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9OfXV0PZN
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSh2TCOT041
"Hmm."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWUCAu8Voi
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrMslmo7nA
"Anyways," May continued and sat the last bag down next to the others. "Check out your closet."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRSUxczVFA
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUaqGXEu5K
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.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoV2Aj43LOV
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HQPYJfF7Q
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.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7UbJz08Zd
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NepUvqTZq
"This is..."I started as I lifted up the strap of a Gucci purse.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTC0QY09qv
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRS2LtO6SY
"Amazing?" May chirped, eyes lighting up with delight.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOalBjejP2
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLz6X9yRIyV
I nodded and set it down, "I was going to say a little but much."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wUMNrODzT
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ir8rJ6w5O
"You get used to it."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXCRO3DxQA
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojOglgQZON
I highly doubt that. 353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMrJxbZUNN
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xU77pVyqF
"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.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbbhk4KVCy
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh957WAiwC4
"Will Mr. Wolfe be present?"353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAK99wd3si
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLZrKr8kj2
She stopped, "He doesn't eat with anyone."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJ29GuJ2eZ
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ892exWfcr5
"That's kind of sad." 353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyamCk6jCfv
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPD2llBsNU
She glanced back at me, "I suppose it is."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡua6rznQgmO
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9im5Am4AkB
I watched May's back as she exited the room without another word.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmM8zATttXG
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmHvwsrytG
I was alone again. For the first time, I had nobody.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiMlOIQKHP
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhe7QL5rEL4
Just me.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycNTznXEfm
