"Robbie, I'd like you to meet Mr. Williams."408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUR8W0fj6D
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCFdtLAFuP
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.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcLFdrV3Wv
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKWWG8StZ3
"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."408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFYHwRY9XJ
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9VWMu1oMw
I stammered, "G-great."408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsIozyLiYN
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pub9jPQ34
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."408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHcz15MN8V
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhfy6IgOZD
"Really!" I beamed.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKOnE8yEb7
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9yPJPmIzB
School books, cell phone and charger, toiletries, some of my favorite pieces of jewelry and snacks I had hidden from Josh under my bed.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUJHasTrhd
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Yany6UyCc
"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."408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhw5OV5tJm5
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChukIwWGqy
"Wow...Thank you! That means a lot." I told her wholeheartedly.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGHvHGFfeg
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPIm5DYIDG
I'm going to miss this strange, humorless woman. 408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjZ90RQR6q
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5hARlBzQi
"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."408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9v3s88EZR
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknBA2mJdzS
"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?"408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOV224D1ps
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoT3u5PTAAS
"Oh...wow..uh."408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovCUqmwFbh
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcpc6NKHjm
"We'll decide in the car." He chuckled and gave Angel a parting glance before exiting.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjD0rJedv7
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hIP1eNiAN
"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."408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEG7zgFJThk
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxB8QM1PehN
"Thank you," I replied and without thinking tossed my arms around her. "For everything."408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntGLHg9pRB
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX87B8DpHiB
She stiffened a bit by the sudden display of affection, but let her arms cradle me in the embrace.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrsGnIm346
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSASkw7QQaB
"Of course, Robbie. Let's get you down there."408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QODdinQ2U
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWIF1CdPqR
The two of us headed down towards the front of the entrance where Mr. Williams waited in front of a sleek black Mercedes.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdTzc6VBFK
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cDzPIIlr1
"Alright! I'll see you soon, Robbie. Take care and remember to call if you need me." Angel piped up from the side.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDOByNlBae
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwJJY4EGKi
"She'll be in great hands," Mr. Williams assured her warmly. "Ready to go Ms. Quinn?"408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTR2WXVwgl
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuLG5OlPbm
I nodded, swallowing the lump in my throat. "Yes, sir."408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5lRbMmgMQ
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLBs5ZC2eG
I stepped toward the open door and glanced back giving Angel a worried look. She just smiled back at me and nodded.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7EcDBq1NP
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iiKE2jlha
"Ready?" Mr. Williams mused as he stepped into the drivers side408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsV1qdRI6Z2
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBArZ6sj1j
"Yes..."408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf70qcgJCbp
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXNHRe7Eme
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.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oBPoIKKBl
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoU7EoZAnw
_408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05TzLsOBzG
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqr7YXEGibX
"We're here, Ms. Quinn."408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMKkTHnYRc
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJ7H3lgVln
My eyelids fluttered as Mr. Williams spoke. The car now parked along some secluded dark pathway surrounded by massive trees.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9GKFYrAcX
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNH0LQdUqwo
"Where's the house?" I asked, peering out the dark window.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlC8AmoF4V
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqEjaLKFAx
"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."408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiJpdmBoDA
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBR6pWdcP4v
"Is she your wife?" I wondered.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmA64KAbdv1
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaldNmLkkg
"She sure is. My ball and chain."408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xHLg2oP0C
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGPkr5uBnE
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.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAedPYZpNJR
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1AbKeAyVp
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.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVOLLqtVTl
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7AoUD6yGO
"Hello, Ms. Quinn!" She cheered as she caught sight of me. "I'm Mrs. Williams, but you're welcome to call me May."408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3U2zpeo60
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPvNOEjJPf
I grinned back at her, relieved by her kindness. "It's a pleasure to meet you!"408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuj192dNPbZ
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0f33DHY4K
"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.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2Ho3U1syU
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIVn8qK4bR
"Of course, love." She smiled down at him.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDMixhrbSC
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKDWg37G6d
The two of them embrace quickly and kiss one another with so much passion as if they wouldn't see each other again.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqqOYkyoll
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfVB5wyX9w
Watching them together really made me miss my parents. They were so in love.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZ38ptnKZg
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKmHtVR5VZ
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.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3rIB6EmOv
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGaZRtm0tk
"Alright! Ready to finish this trip up?"May asked, pulling me from my thoughts.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8wYnsN6xq
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNYwXlQxFu
"Yes ma'am!" I replied and watched as Mr. Williams climbed into the jeep parked across from us.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdC4YDUJmhy
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQlQGB1FTm
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.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9oVlX8dyE
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUt35WJtpPp
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.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdm7Rvh1mKu
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgba3AbmSP
"Just wait til you see this house." May mused from the front seat. "Have you ever seen a 3.8 million dollar mansion?"408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGhsmMxZWo
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFbsL4H9Up
My jaw fell open, "3.8 million dollars?"408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuBOIEaD9g
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8e7VXPWNZW
She laughed loudly, "Mr. Wolfe is all about the riches."408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TLH1IRntV
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIcW0yVRYi
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.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoxyHaxTwo
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0AX0xzznX
Before us stood a home like nothing I could ever imagine. It's massive structure towered over the yard like a castle.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ToErctjJC
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAM2sLQHNz
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.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uUgt2XyEw
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYnmxzTRKr
"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."408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4d8Fpn31o
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPEhN9skOj
"He has his own bowling alley?" I gasped.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFr4zYRHR3b
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQO2uAkBqCr
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."408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYyXCtCS5E
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzNK9myf3J
"Does he have many people over?" I wondered as she came to my door.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMXl3Nfhs3
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uiot2DNNJ
"Not often," She shook her head and moved around me. "Mr. Wolfe is a man of...solitude."408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaDI4lh60H
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcI76mV4ja6
"What kind of work does he do?" I pushed, hoping May would give up something.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOD0v3CtklO
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIoL0EwlfQ
She averted her eyes, "Honestly, none of us know for sure. It's more of a need to know thing."408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFIF9kpiIJ
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvUeZUBteJ
I nodded, laughing a bit. "Need to know." I repeated.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUR1FbCLcZT
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfq4NyfJsS
"Now," May interjected and bumped the door shut with her hip. "Let me show you inside."408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOxNAeOem2
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVcUrnJUWr
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.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZXdl4jxF0
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWKhZ25qFA
"This is the foyer." She stated as we stepped through the all glass front door.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWJrUYeLfS
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1IsXVxfEZ
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.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUW5NXc4MVA
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yjoaSfD0P
Never would've guessed a lonely dude in his 20's lived here. 408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwAspl2F6B
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrUCo7zrsL
"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?"408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRt5Ke0feli
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDr7Ng5Okg
"Like a wife?"May wondered, giving me a suspicious grin. "He's very single and very gorgeous."408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluui7e9Hgd
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLA8jMkscv
I scoffed, "Mrs. Williams! You're married."408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1v1valv8g
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpC1J6ylwpF
"May," She corrected and chuckled. "Mrs. Williams is so old sounding."408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQLQR1sZSS
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ODbciYAfp
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.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrVCOdxQbU
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtW0jpNaVz
"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."408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7ZrnKqKWy
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcTW3DqCDS
"Does he have a lot of other people here?"408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7niRtqEug
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWD6JuwlzT2
She shrugged," Mostly employees really."408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJdMfG8pt2
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3Ub27iIzM
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.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QkpSDsYR6
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrvrXx2FNB
"Go on." She nodded towards it and waited patiently.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFDs4G12np
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GC6iBjhV3
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.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CeEpsh8w5
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXDzkZQWix
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.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6GR0IRobP
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2phQ7BgHS4
"Does he like to read?" I wandered and let my fingers brush along the edges of the wood.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Zt5DE0HDT
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8yIz03VZG
"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."408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQQMKjSHf7
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsZgsez9Wc
"Hmm."408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKclmXYUla9
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QkpTZdXth
"Anyways," May continued and sat the last bag down next to the others. "Check out your closet."408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjxe1ldqkU
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjeSpgp7xe
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.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2LxXJxTjG
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFLeFWFyUa
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.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nTBkngzBv
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIkJZi2QG5
"This is..."I started as I lifted up the strap of a Gucci purse.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdgvlaHPaE
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNgIsnXsid
"Amazing?" May chirped, eyes lighting up with delight.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mmmv3tBAl
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgejeC9cz1Z
I nodded and set it down, "I was going to say a little but much."408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qeYxC3VpZ
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7GWxbwTY9
"You get used to it."408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkIbrlyO5o
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnuPrj0biK
I highly doubt that. 408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMW1vZMcZX
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSr3O1iQaip
"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.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7Z3uKUWEb
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡha6Czy4eaH
"Will Mr. Wolfe be present?"408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjzXdSXx6l
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCw9HCd3Va
She stopped, "He doesn't eat with anyone."408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvCtcGCWxq
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfUvGcceWV
"That's kind of sad." 408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCacnpER4zu
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKqDzMe1gS
She glanced back at me, "I suppose it is."408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjxc1m7WNk
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP069pnlrIb
I watched May's back as she exited the room without another word.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSNv6NJK4u
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3ZEs5ihBR
I was alone again. For the first time, I had nobody.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8b80SAGshw
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVPLy3OKPG
Just me.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeVKPzU50k
