"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
408Please respect copyright.PENANAfZSTD1yXcp
408Please respect copyright.PENANAxkTV4jgUCO
