"Robbie, I'd like you to meet Mr. Williams."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Cs9NzszAn
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LfY9DkNLw
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.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9o2091CYzY
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXqjgRcFGm
"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."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjc1lFhU5Dq
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYszWW5gTg
I stammered, "G-great."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7IyaJETfY
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4QEzxKM3k
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."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJwPo4iuaz
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegBYhfnzVJ
"Really!" I beamed.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMgVcBZRKg
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7VXcprhsb
School books, cell phone and charger, toiletries, some of my favorite pieces of jewelry and snacks I had hidden from Josh under my bed.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8csi2KXryb
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvoeOPfoz8
"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."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjbCkRBNXk
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzNE6i9HlC
"Wow...Thank you! That means a lot." I told her wholeheartedly.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWg8vgk37K
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYkukpWCPT
I'm going to miss this strange, humorless woman. 371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrI8qvRd2L5
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZtk95Kj4G
"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."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PgOvXCOva
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRqVZYp6Y0
"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?"371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡip72Q2nOTb
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83BS0YnddL
"Oh...wow..uh."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GW4JQ40WK
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLc3Z4MNKP3
"We'll decide in the car." He chuckled and gave Angel a parting glance before exiting.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLN6KjEw6yC
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Yzf88RRYk
"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."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0roFdHv88M
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkh8E6M0oYA
"Thank you," I replied and without thinking tossed my arms around her. "For everything."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdUnAmGn1M
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHiS2q9zUp
She stiffened a bit by the sudden display of affection, but let her arms cradle me in the embrace.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYcePZSkDh
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtLuQkIYSo
"Of course, Robbie. Let's get you down there."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABv3lG9Efe
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrenhFaS3S
The two of us headed down towards the front of the entrance where Mr. Williams waited in front of a sleek black Mercedes.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LSLwXcyoC
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFTSKhM9sd
"Alright! I'll see you soon, Robbie. Take care and remember to call if you need me." Angel piped up from the side.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZxsFu4MLQ
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsOmiLQt1W
"She'll be in great hands," Mr. Williams assured her warmly. "Ready to go Ms. Quinn?"371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFbop2LAS5
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXdUUoT0FF
I nodded, swallowing the lump in my throat. "Yes, sir."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFPIvnmdr1
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwsUyQnnCm
I stepped toward the open door and glanced back giving Angel a worried look. She just smiled back at me and nodded.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSgbwNvpNQ
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PGkyjggKb
"Ready?" Mr. Williams mused as he stepped into the drivers side371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJ0s7jzR1s
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlO1dSIUVzj
"Yes..."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡej9Ir2einM
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaWLfRE3wx
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.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCkO4KwFT9
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWy8bCRchg
_371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGVkCirNqM
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2GZ9HSqjC
"We're here, Ms. Quinn."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOONaWsht7P
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLy2pbMuyUw
My eyelids fluttered as Mr. Williams spoke. The car now parked along some secluded dark pathway surrounded by massive trees.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaDUyucY6G
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbIm31eIPw
"Where's the house?" I asked, peering out the dark window.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHW4uvS1aVY
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfCtkIruEe
"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."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvVGqolXCg
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19rDO4hl5g
"Is she your wife?" I wondered.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbM4pA23iY
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPEOKN0F3D
"She sure is. My ball and chain."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqg6RhO4fa
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeWZ02GtcJ
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.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yw8UjvCKO
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabejoPudvD
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.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeBEaJJpVX
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2z72KSROnJ
"Hello, Ms. Quinn!" She cheered as she caught sight of me. "I'm Mrs. Williams, but you're welcome to call me May."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTi5Yi9AVfm
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnG8Zp1JFpS
I grinned back at her, relieved by her kindness. "It's a pleasure to meet you!"371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmTqZgjX6E
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk96NhEWCSH
"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.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzSudB6Fab
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7wAlbVdZc
"Of course, love." She smiled down at him.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpZRpmqRd3
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaQXaXqFfx
The two of them embrace quickly and kiss one another with so much passion as if they wouldn't see each other again.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN61Rzj93HN
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEu3yLiHWOa
Watching them together really made me miss my parents. They were so in love.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlBmNUfTKF
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXITDEHQW7
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.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1LNNYCVTC
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9GWNE8dGR
"Alright! Ready to finish this trip up?"May asked, pulling me from my thoughts.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2niYPN00YI
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VKmRUOpSu
"Yes ma'am!" I replied and watched as Mr. Williams climbed into the jeep parked across from us.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFEvH80ThW
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGSCt0LYs6
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.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcda33gPiE
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIoz4sG7Ww
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.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRAIl0KNU7
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuOgwsjZM3
"Just wait til you see this house." May mused from the front seat. "Have you ever seen a 3.8 million dollar mansion?"371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrxQRaDsaV
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczYscSIW2K
My jaw fell open, "3.8 million dollars?"371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6P2elu2nOy
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEwsVTJVD4
She laughed loudly, "Mr. Wolfe is all about the riches."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyX3JAVHqm
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCOYMBYDQJ
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.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLV8mHxw7l
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDS9sBDbnf9
Before us stood a home like nothing I could ever imagine. It's massive structure towered over the yard like a castle.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsIfte4o7r
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iCYcypEaq
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.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUH6btlkopg
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTA6nE4lQCG
"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."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmor2PmnGSZ
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsNKVvTHNQ
"He has his own bowling alley?" I gasped.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsO3ERrJQuw
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYEE4Bo9lx
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."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkAEsQEGxU
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFK5VsCxp7q
"Does he have many people over?" I wondered as she came to my door.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1sdsDugzG
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViYvTkKAxO
"Not often," She shook her head and moved around me. "Mr. Wolfe is a man of...solitude."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouCqH29Bmp
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYgtdwJD13
"What kind of work does he do?" I pushed, hoping May would give up something.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScZFD7LNSV
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV49NagOrph
She averted her eyes, "Honestly, none of us know for sure. It's more of a need to know thing."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtC2JYSuq7f
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdpVFBQY2W
I nodded, laughing a bit. "Need to know." I repeated.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyePkfU0BZ
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXJJy8r4I0
"Now," May interjected and bumped the door shut with her hip. "Let me show you inside."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26kax0nL4Z
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzSFZ4Thr9
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.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfhIsV4YOt
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrp95yAeOX
"This is the foyer." She stated as we stepped through the all glass front door.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIA47z5P7zI
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbSihgZ9oY
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.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Pq0mzKXD6
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFwuRlaokq
Never would've guessed a lonely dude in his 20's lived here. 371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzO3Wgva5e
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7520p3Yole
"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?"371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3B3XUNL5zd
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLRtWwSszB
"Like a wife?"May wondered, giving me a suspicious grin. "He's very single and very gorgeous."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYePDIuYi0v
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1UMoVYjNq
I scoffed, "Mrs. Williams! You're married."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2tMq6aTwi
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbH3y6H4TO
"May," She corrected and chuckled. "Mrs. Williams is so old sounding."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqEfFFvGnh
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8l96y5Vd3
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.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUv4T7YwnW5
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMraKGsiQx
"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."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7DqcVrDUT
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rGONduGy8
"Does he have a lot of other people here?"371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWy8LYXwFHf
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuj8knxDrH
She shrugged," Mostly employees really."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XkIRuF8Na
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMa1LRFMSS
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.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjqCV9ct7S
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFf1yvnEYy
"Go on." She nodded towards it and waited patiently.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzu09OmK8Lr
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uUyrv3ZIc
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.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRlt5odNXh
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDut7iIXqn
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.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyVUbV9xCY
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ADNbTwTsQ
"Does he like to read?" I wandered and let my fingers brush along the edges of the wood.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOPg1iH54w
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGCJd6CKqn
"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."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhBN8RzetN
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OwN8tP3fX
"Hmm."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqldTsyxf4
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHiMk7GrqH
"Anyways," May continued and sat the last bag down next to the others. "Check out your closet."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnqF1mXTZT
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvecgRVBjEg
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.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcbGJs3q24
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuJ3EiHKM4
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.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoCSPhR0KV
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqckQvF7qIf
"This is..."I started as I lifted up the strap of a Gucci purse.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bLj5alDv2
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiYXe9hrTB
"Amazing?" May chirped, eyes lighting up with delight.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRk2frxhOK
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtZ6oTSITR
I nodded and set it down, "I was going to say a little but much."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KV3Gx54pU
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPpaacomW9
"You get used to it."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBzSuYzwQY
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTc1FhvU8zt
I highly doubt that. 371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsCh65bO2Z
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKiG4FuoOG
"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.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFTdAxuHBm
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbckzqs2xS
"Will Mr. Wolfe be present?"371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzOepaYiV6
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjrgpTbwZp
She stopped, "He doesn't eat with anyone."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVukVOjqSJB
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcr2GaTRO10
"That's kind of sad." 371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZ34hpfXfO
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQbE4XE73d
She glanced back at me, "I suppose it is."371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmD3Z0IqQV
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcApBVIWKHj
I watched May's back as she exited the room without another word.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxFDJmpkkP
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKdm0sinuF
I was alone again. For the first time, I had nobody.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdC4RtOvjQC
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwdz7ssCIf
Just me.371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GKrSuhyMH
