"Robbie, I'd like you to meet Mr. Williams."381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzkZSc8KQz
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV05PHPsfLD
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.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrpinZ4jvR
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6S83o5OiV
"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."381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI62CpeEzNh
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eM8IoKkq2
I stammered, "G-great."381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEufVW666K
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5Y3mc3OHf
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."381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdwI8gvD7S
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENWqwmKH3G
"Really!" I beamed.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6jx9URixv
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bAOpKR8PA
School books, cell phone and charger, toiletries, some of my favorite pieces of jewelry and snacks I had hidden from Josh under my bed.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKRdGThMmZ
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFf7dMEmxJo
"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."381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7GYle9dRg
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipyMDvVEgz
"Wow...Thank you! That means a lot." I told her wholeheartedly.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKxtCsHKmh
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqx7QPjSgV
I'm going to miss this strange, humorless woman. 381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUbuKwHljh
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNQJR3cCbm
"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."381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbEy3uLkJ8
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmpHGYFC4m
"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?"381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cngiVfi0F
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXlaa5AzRt
"Oh...wow..uh."381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaIlIkhPUH
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9jBiS3foL
"We'll decide in the car." He chuckled and gave Angel a parting glance before exiting.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65kylvDnYw
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCpeVWGUww
"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."381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1tTVzOqKP
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5I8qTWf0G
"Thank you," I replied and without thinking tossed my arms around her. "For everything."381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gBQOgm1bT
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxvfA2aD6d
She stiffened a bit by the sudden display of affection, but let her arms cradle me in the embrace.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYH8BnH1iX
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV49JmFQ0LA
"Of course, Robbie. Let's get you down there."381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjs42cWdyIf
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KF9Ri3Hdv
The two of us headed down towards the front of the entrance where Mr. Williams waited in front of a sleek black Mercedes.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEnhYLA7F1
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwiKYZwr0r
"Alright! I'll see you soon, Robbie. Take care and remember to call if you need me." Angel piped up from the side.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2wtb3Ej0u
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08q6nPjC0L
"She'll be in great hands," Mr. Williams assured her warmly. "Ready to go Ms. Quinn?"381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5mTbjlDdX
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqwqOFHXEU
I nodded, swallowing the lump in my throat. "Yes, sir."381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtm22dX9EBh
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9nWGhxpmd
I stepped toward the open door and glanced back giving Angel a worried look. She just smiled back at me and nodded.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtVBHxNlCO
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzLG0JEiBL
"Ready?" Mr. Williams mused as he stepped into the drivers side381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJitm52vLCt
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSszbXXerLM
"Yes..."381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5AqK0Uiy9
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejd475sGbQ
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.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrZtrAUzln
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JfrvzU5vY
_381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5Cx82qAO2
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7r1utt4C4D
"We're here, Ms. Quinn."381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8gigAKww2
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaRVHeMu4c
My eyelids fluttered as Mr. Williams spoke. The car now parked along some secluded dark pathway surrounded by massive trees.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK15pdAjGpS
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNeqLCD02U
"Where's the house?" I asked, peering out the dark window.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCJpUjyYf9
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZM8sdsLL8S
"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."381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsBPT5ajoS
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzmYV6VsrZ
"Is she your wife?" I wondered.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fVPXX4tIY
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBp1oulCPG
"She sure is. My ball and chain."381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8tOU5G1jN
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulBWRcjaKd
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.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeegxSFbT5
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbp9v3itf8
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.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlHlsWzy90
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuuOlOMugB
"Hello, Ms. Quinn!" She cheered as she caught sight of me. "I'm Mrs. Williams, but you're welcome to call me May."381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlkoqQW5ga
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UxMyd6Oeo
I grinned back at her, relieved by her kindness. "It's a pleasure to meet you!"381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzusutYksY
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRI73CzgURX
"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.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbFjL6s2NW
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIQFYed9mi
"Of course, love." She smiled down at him.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBc6hmKosj
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWboS4f1MV8
The two of them embrace quickly and kiss one another with so much passion as if they wouldn't see each other again.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxofXhBSZD
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxQGP4Ouav
Watching them together really made me miss my parents. They were so in love.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPGT3AycAW
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5dh1id652
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.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZWvB2wc44
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW34bVVJJCn
"Alright! Ready to finish this trip up?"May asked, pulling me from my thoughts.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ379sUpufxA
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGYtp8ZU4k
"Yes ma'am!" I replied and watched as Mr. Williams climbed into the jeep parked across from us.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG85SG63F3a
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZDrIfKqMX
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.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnesBko4mvc
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tujdnKF3V
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.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPNByfixNB
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3jzhua3jJ
"Just wait til you see this house." May mused from the front seat. "Have you ever seen a 3.8 million dollar mansion?"381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYrZCn0NnA
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgt8TSVxRfc
My jaw fell open, "3.8 million dollars?"381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6b45v5yQDr
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3JGr1GGzC
She laughed loudly, "Mr. Wolfe is all about the riches."381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjWRpYihJj
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBlAftyKGh
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.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7cx2shIhp
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbEy03tmrm
Before us stood a home like nothing I could ever imagine. It's massive structure towered over the yard like a castle.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTHA6pJi7w
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIzRaGCkzQ
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.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7oXxYA0xf
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4gs6MpzRG
"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."381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRg6s2f6EJ8
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdNSrvF5SG
"He has his own bowling alley?" I gasped.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUD4lqeMlT
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6DiNxIPGN
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."381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOlfVcO7AD
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnE7u47gtUT
"Does he have many people over?" I wondered as she came to my door.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4st5NC3yj
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MMUEXh5tN
"Not often," She shook her head and moved around me. "Mr. Wolfe is a man of...solitude."381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswxuWOxUGi
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTfed0EhAo
"What kind of work does he do?" I pushed, hoping May would give up something.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hAM4XCyOW
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfOSl7Drn2
She averted her eyes, "Honestly, none of us know for sure. It's more of a need to know thing."381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiit0NGJtZ
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTAoJ2gWLB
I nodded, laughing a bit. "Need to know." I repeated.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94LrlZdsV7
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeyog1PBoq
"Now," May interjected and bumped the door shut with her hip. "Let me show you inside."381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3W4Rp9eAv
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡle8r828MJ3
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.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmeBFU6XeD
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51p3GLpKz2
"This is the foyer." She stated as we stepped through the all glass front door.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXCpzzXebX
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEhgDvWHEx
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.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7FVvEX359
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88GpCBnGNB
Never would've guessed a lonely dude in his 20's lived here. 381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPnzqW6hxc
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsrk0ehChF
"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?"381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7id0PsGZ9
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIB5CDogE8
"Like a wife?"May wondered, giving me a suspicious grin. "He's very single and very gorgeous."381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKFixaarvS
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwMbFeRTR1
I scoffed, "Mrs. Williams! You're married."381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvKJxNChTQ
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzD8x5TXbm
"May," She corrected and chuckled. "Mrs. Williams is so old sounding."381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1T00mtgRN
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ytyvp1Jy8
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.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCffhkouL0U
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacbhl0D1jc
"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."381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJt3RdCztz2
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGsmJ2b2T2
"Does he have a lot of other people here?"381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBn1OzLzq1q
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkemvNTLAA
She shrugged," Mostly employees really."381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wDC9JeFkv
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAR6iz4BSW1
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.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfr519rjRa
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMNFN4fXUE
"Go on." She nodded towards it and waited patiently.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFS7hyS9lbA
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYO0dl72zV
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.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3IZbcuJqj
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoxES4L5FV
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.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerS0FyzyFj
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEYumZyhAs
"Does he like to read?" I wandered and let my fingers brush along the edges of the wood.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8QtiIZC93
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOU1QneKtSs
"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."381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbo7SAShWwn
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRzF2zdiMp
"Hmm."381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHkMkxKaqr
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zFIoj1nwU
"Anyways," May continued and sat the last bag down next to the others. "Check out your closet."381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25iba0NXB2
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvXNi4zCEJ
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.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvY1LxLTQM
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaSQgs2goJ
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.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesxveoQQkm
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zTkUaVneB
"This is..."I started as I lifted up the strap of a Gucci purse.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oLwM675mk
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqt4SlDgQmB
"Amazing?" May chirped, eyes lighting up with delight.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCndVn4Dpy4
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRnEaIudyN
I nodded and set it down, "I was going to say a little but much."381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeagltStdbI
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Nd6lnd6R7
"You get used to it."381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYzvDcjp58
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gGyFLlwoW
I highly doubt that. 381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzX1knCjVh
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNeG0k34rj
"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.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDwh3uZB2l
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLbBiLCiJ8
"Will Mr. Wolfe be present?"381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYpZEr7OpM
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zD8IbVvVQ
She stopped, "He doesn't eat with anyone."381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA35Dkqxm9m
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXQIfJfxEJ
"That's kind of sad." 381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0jjn5ITgR
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOUIj409a3
She glanced back at me, "I suppose it is."381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlK4iPx7PhJ
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gvT4At2wa
I watched May's back as she exited the room without another word.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72F9SKWlO4
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoasMCA1vLz
I was alone again. For the first time, I had nobody.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXd8vGfVJ0
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd21GIklbxI
Just me.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxsvzbtpET
