"Robbie, I'd like you to meet Mr. Williams."395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2fELNL4Qi
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmThadFZhT
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.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHvLVyV21i
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfHSM4hSPK
"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."395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmHgPxKSwP
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKI4MM7F2E7
I stammered, "G-great."395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TzYOIBX2l
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMpp4imqDP
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."395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynjktCLFr9
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DxOWqDGrD
"Really!" I beamed.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMi8V40O55L
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzkt99oTtD
School books, cell phone and charger, toiletries, some of my favorite pieces of jewelry and snacks I had hidden from Josh under my bed.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJWKpKkZnt
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGUVHSh1yz
"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."395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NndgFNAzx
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNdRnwKAVo
"Wow...Thank you! That means a lot." I told her wholeheartedly.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoDuRn3EC0
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1c0aoDAuRj
I'm going to miss this strange, humorless woman. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjOVGzskmM
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Suc2uTR4U
"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."395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jNA6im07z
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuufs4wxsHC
"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?"395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡes4wBEBKbH
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvkneOeLZF
"Oh...wow..uh."395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJPajEK59F
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpglICVWtn
"We'll decide in the car." He chuckled and gave Angel a parting glance before exiting.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡit3ZhqS4XS
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Z6yJHlXoP
"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."395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtaVviqjpG
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRgx5YP889
"Thank you," I replied and without thinking tossed my arms around her. "For everything."395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxGdtsXkcL
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdvvFnSQqg
She stiffened a bit by the sudden display of affection, but let her arms cradle me in the embrace.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbL7oUbP5qk
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXd0B2R0nWv
"Of course, Robbie. Let's get you down there."395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVcQj3peE1
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuavJeSUDT
The two of us headed down towards the front of the entrance where Mr. Williams waited in front of a sleek black Mercedes.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNqC7VC6hX
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfQP2J6w2N
"Alright! I'll see you soon, Robbie. Take care and remember to call if you need me." Angel piped up from the side.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwG7kfNv7vD
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9xaeK4371
"She'll be in great hands," Mr. Williams assured her warmly. "Ready to go Ms. Quinn?"395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOSke5ML2u
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiKBcO9B3L
I nodded, swallowing the lump in my throat. "Yes, sir."395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡER68qnBjV2
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSNBhGF3wN
I stepped toward the open door and glanced back giving Angel a worried look. She just smiled back at me and nodded.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qz8Gmn6KU
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLQRvAP15s
"Ready?" Mr. Williams mused as he stepped into the drivers side395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PxpSrf9fC
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCdsY88i8n
"Yes..."395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyR2Gz77rv
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEC1A6JC9HX
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.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07TPTqlf4s
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURvw3jYxMf
_395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3AsKCbI9T
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprzaUFb2Pa
"We're here, Ms. Quinn."395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAcjQ4EEKe
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMAhKf6OMa
My eyelids fluttered as Mr. Williams spoke. The car now parked along some secluded dark pathway surrounded by massive trees.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXyNd0YiLp
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcA6rgcLQii
"Where's the house?" I asked, peering out the dark window.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZHUJn39ff
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQGzeB6gQV
"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."395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4E5qoEYET
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptGEVuXs3k
"Is she your wife?" I wondered.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpB16Jxfoo
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVbRjEMQUf
"She sure is. My ball and chain."395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhd9rcsnLE6
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98yC112MdC
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.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdbP60AmDL
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJWIU7IAJ0
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.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKJAYXnh2R
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bJcidsukf
"Hello, Ms. Quinn!" She cheered as she caught sight of me. "I'm Mrs. Williams, but you're welcome to call me May."395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9vgNkHwjc
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFLHslTE2h
I grinned back at her, relieved by her kindness. "It's a pleasure to meet you!"395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0I3SlvlTW
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozttAAAyOC
"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.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgduelrpfp
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTskkS0ZeQ1
"Of course, love." She smiled down at him.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXWSy1TDRc
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HAfi0V7Ej
The two of them embrace quickly and kiss one another with so much passion as if they wouldn't see each other again.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eHD4maNzM
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgCSIQ1LBc
Watching them together really made me miss my parents. They were so in love.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZucwzRTNPq
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPRpXZZfN7
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.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1bQ73nVtU
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDlQWVthJa
"Alright! Ready to finish this trip up?"May asked, pulling me from my thoughts.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwIJ2sgOyb
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDHIsjWvtm
"Yes ma'am!" I replied and watched as Mr. Williams climbed into the jeep parked across from us.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5JOp0xEFJ
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZvwo9j2SU
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.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisSL0AZwWr
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQ6QYfTcGW
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.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0N0tpToHz
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQsMeS1lKS
"Just wait til you see this house." May mused from the front seat. "Have you ever seen a 3.8 million dollar mansion?"395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8V1RLhXRN
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoGhFKI2th
My jaw fell open, "3.8 million dollars?"395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeU8Ukp69g
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nvzaxt2mB
She laughed loudly, "Mr. Wolfe is all about the riches."395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwb1KQ3rDn
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFnqant6h8
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.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmQVDiQxWh
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4o3oGKhdZd
Before us stood a home like nothing I could ever imagine. It's massive structure towered over the yard like a castle.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiXWJW28W8
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEa7udMAZAv
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.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYI0sGUrgf2
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHi7othlZvP
"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."395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTaH5ENMlU
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREEKk8PdQs
"He has his own bowling alley?" I gasped.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8ggTHzl7W
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuozJO17P2X
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."395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJECBOO4In
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8IiOT0tJF
"Does he have many people over?" I wondered as she came to my door.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZP1ffnSU5a
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFY3sb48lMP
"Not often," She shook her head and moved around me. "Mr. Wolfe is a man of...solitude."395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MCPFPa7BN
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0MdLT0cl0
"What kind of work does he do?" I pushed, hoping May would give up something.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdh32ogKsE
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVvTBcSrp0
She averted her eyes, "Honestly, none of us know for sure. It's more of a need to know thing."395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaqj1tRF3a
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHy9HYnukv
I nodded, laughing a bit. "Need to know." I repeated.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEFZ6FPjex
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfdLw1vgeA
"Now," May interjected and bumped the door shut with her hip. "Let me show you inside."395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlotg5Wq11i
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIBN4TXRGw
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.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJKhhEBS8d
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0U2o6XETh
"This is the foyer." She stated as we stepped through the all glass front door.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyK2j12EGI
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSFs4hvjYN
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.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTm3ulKpqR
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0E15Mydn5F
Never would've guessed a lonely dude in his 20's lived here. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyXDCtZu2b
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8mGwSSMvx
"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?"395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATIw6KiC63
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYaJFwMfa0
"Like a wife?"May wondered, giving me a suspicious grin. "He's very single and very gorgeous."395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSA3t45vGEX
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTKMudtVCJ
I scoffed, "Mrs. Williams! You're married."395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUlaSM6Cyf
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtSlBZjIa6
"May," She corrected and chuckled. "Mrs. Williams is so old sounding."395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakEfZmmGP1
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ME65G5GJ2
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.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjsli6AUR2
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVAQ3bkxa3
"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."395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI44gl70Vtz
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FoiT2oUbT
"Does he have a lot of other people here?"395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTsovP4rjc
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZS2wc4MHo
She shrugged," Mostly employees really."395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuKUQF1b7e
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNtMAad2Gi
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.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcPTzcoVrQ
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UArh4MaDw
"Go on." She nodded towards it and waited patiently.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDV0p4kmUj
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEKIvZSgCd
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.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAVp8tMzvj
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡING0JQJmkb
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.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ27xshBDD3
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1f53sZ3Nm5
"Does he like to read?" I wandered and let my fingers brush along the edges of the wood.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsykbhiDdk
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLs9GYHmJS
"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."395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUqOLr99OS
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirFA2Ux9Rv
"Hmm."395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkeRppmmwi
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tS1HUtAcD
"Anyways," May continued and sat the last bag down next to the others. "Check out your closet."395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6GE3m2rBn
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHf45V2qTMS
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.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCppLuzkswW
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVg7wdUwkx
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.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVoSIit10P
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4giJAJrkB
"This is..."I started as I lifted up the strap of a Gucci purse.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6440xqqZi
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAHBslskxf
"Amazing?" May chirped, eyes lighting up with delight.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cndKK75WD
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElKz2aEkhB
I nodded and set it down, "I was going to say a little but much."395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvrzPVREzE
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBRWm6xVk8
"You get used to it."395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhe2aEceVuK
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkIPnJgzIG
I highly doubt that. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuPS1jDjnG
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW13NCwTJQv
"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.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡos6FaZIlJa
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhH6P6o9EFP
"Will Mr. Wolfe be present?"395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vfbgNRR19
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNoXlDOVZL
She stopped, "He doesn't eat with anyone."395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAC59lP8Ujt
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxGrjlOe9l
"That's kind of sad." 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalYVvmKqp7
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVVFXOgS2V
She glanced back at me, "I suppose it is."395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aQv97B7dT
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPnhDE3wYB
I watched May's back as she exited the room without another word.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrpPc1PKki
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡan2eYqHcvl
I was alone again. For the first time, I had nobody.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiwGb1LN77
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJZY3wncsu
Just me.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTvUGfrzII
