"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
395Please respect copyright.PENANAnMPccFEvNQ
395Please respect copyright.PENANADpAzEqrqx7
