"Robbie, I'd like you to meet Mr. Williams."322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcqILFSIFM
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizndAECUV6
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.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWNFF5c2Eb
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KNYRLZOzt
"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."322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkURzUxzQLV
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRGqlBNKPk
I stammered, "G-great."322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Kf3ZaJXP5
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6SDM1YWsu
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."322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnI5PcEhpE
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKSyouuNB8
"Really!" I beamed.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXyweYi9kz
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtOtZ9oS4s
School books, cell phone and charger, toiletries, some of my favorite pieces of jewelry and snacks I had hidden from Josh under my bed.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8afZOjcRv
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUtDQvz6MT
"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."322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAsHPafQ3R
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡis8IgIOcbK
"Wow...Thank you! That means a lot." I told her wholeheartedly.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhqRzZUPmy
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyN6aVEj16
I'm going to miss this strange, humorless woman. 322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegSP48jzsd
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wbSAfBmnY
"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."322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZk6BqyZQoD
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCsRKaaaJT
"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?"322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuHjDRGIHy
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSrxE5g4rv
"Oh...wow..uh."322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3AeozMqAS
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTijM70VtHL
"We'll decide in the car." He chuckled and gave Angel a parting glance before exiting.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4q0PajZEzP
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSlpqFSx9T
"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."322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6abICiEBuY
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2bOBNdyzS
"Thank you," I replied and without thinking tossed my arms around her. "For everything."322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9a1kXYa5e
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJH5wM386vy
She stiffened a bit by the sudden display of affection, but let her arms cradle me in the embrace.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EuKLyViFI
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjB8AAsfAv1
"Of course, Robbie. Let's get you down there."322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJBBfCJu0l
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBC8Exjxgn
The two of us headed down towards the front of the entrance where Mr. Williams waited in front of a sleek black Mercedes.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqUuzxtLYv
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwbKsKAta7
"Alright! I'll see you soon, Robbie. Take care and remember to call if you need me." Angel piped up from the side.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Kz6JohP3O
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWnRaaDpoj
"She'll be in great hands," Mr. Williams assured her warmly. "Ready to go Ms. Quinn?"322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswcnkzVRSA
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwHMxpmp8t
I nodded, swallowing the lump in my throat. "Yes, sir."322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNyRaIeVGI
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRagV7F6VwQ
I stepped toward the open door and glanced back giving Angel a worried look. She just smiled back at me and nodded.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiffinzocV
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlDSIyqbdC
"Ready?" Mr. Williams mused as he stepped into the drivers side322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhOOiHdNog
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiy0su2gToQ
"Yes..."322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKxrOLbKdE
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NGUSN3t6o
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.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1uVFRfkeJ
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhj5A2sXPAi
_322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdZImmeky4
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt27NWjF65k
"We're here, Ms. Quinn."322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOzVYAHNDu
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqYi7ZY1ry
My eyelids fluttered as Mr. Williams spoke. The car now parked along some secluded dark pathway surrounded by massive trees.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTx9MmGexXz
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zQTls3z57
"Where's the house?" I asked, peering out the dark window.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnz41AQoow
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdA4vv863IR
"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."322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbAFKdA1ry
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7to5m2im3
"Is she your wife?" I wondered.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeww3cKzZxq
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEaCy8qyQN
"She sure is. My ball and chain."322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0080zqXA2i
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqMOYC5dd1
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.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5WRqsRN8F
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdK4hBDYsX
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.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklXr9HZoZb
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIqrkpFKVw
"Hello, Ms. Quinn!" She cheered as she caught sight of me. "I'm Mrs. Williams, but you're welcome to call me May."322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqs7tBqV5x
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66kDI679EF
I grinned back at her, relieved by her kindness. "It's a pleasure to meet you!"322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwelJhKuNIO
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWbp8GlUCO
"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.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0RZovuqQY
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFx7vviAtUs
"Of course, love." She smiled down at him.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPz9DNHW7jj
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8SV1N1X32
The two of them embrace quickly and kiss one another with so much passion as if they wouldn't see each other again.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQnqa90KHj
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXE1B9KgjWY
Watching them together really made me miss my parents. They were so in love.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryHrhivGbl
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeYF2thpcQ
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.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLLRP2tatT
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKug6O297UK
"Alright! Ready to finish this trip up?"May asked, pulling me from my thoughts.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe41PEc5kxJ
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mOv9LseXb
"Yes ma'am!" I replied and watched as Mr. Williams climbed into the jeep parked across from us.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3W2eV6FJ5d
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHp1lPyRcv3
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.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0clkTK77l
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AxErFbKia
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.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLcG3t8ar8
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8yhhYeqRc
"Just wait til you see this house." May mused from the front seat. "Have you ever seen a 3.8 million dollar mansion?"322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69ttPSmIyk
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SPrzsuoxs
My jaw fell open, "3.8 million dollars?"322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaS3QHFeEve
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rigHWPdLh
She laughed loudly, "Mr. Wolfe is all about the riches."322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMML0k1fVy
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEbzPxcgyS
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.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdzHJlE0X3
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47PReVWskK
Before us stood a home like nothing I could ever imagine. It's massive structure towered over the yard like a castle.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiB1DXVns0
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgpFBlx7G0
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.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaz1yhG1BE
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrqimi7sTz
"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."322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1B3V9lLSN
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDGDYPqpBc
"He has his own bowling alley?" I gasped.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTM7UkJIP4
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNin7odcUN
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."322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTII7JaM35
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3nDRnhLRY
"Does he have many people over?" I wondered as she came to my door.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyuUAGlUUh
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHtZzESOKB
"Not often," She shook her head and moved around me. "Mr. Wolfe is a man of...solitude."322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5dOy1iUCp
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXZCWLvTqM
"What kind of work does he do?" I pushed, hoping May would give up something.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZwoyjQXO6
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaTmxAzmea
She averted her eyes, "Honestly, none of us know for sure. It's more of a need to know thing."322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPsyUTBHfV
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2qpP0VAwo
I nodded, laughing a bit. "Need to know." I repeated.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NKPcSeMAg
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVfKfIbnAx
"Now," May interjected and bumped the door shut with her hip. "Let me show you inside."322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkne5peqDz1
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdqFliP8LC
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.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78Q9co08bE
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYghBKY51J
"This is the foyer." She stated as we stepped through the all glass front door.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjgtyHanOk
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMbzc5e2Jc
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.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7twa8UY70r
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcIJcVwY7Y
Never would've guessed a lonely dude in his 20's lived here. 322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SkU55V2tr
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMZCGFc8LP
"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?"322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeIJKEThGY
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXGwmygSSO
"Like a wife?"May wondered, giving me a suspicious grin. "He's very single and very gorgeous."322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJHy6xetDW
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBdTGC38nL
I scoffed, "Mrs. Williams! You're married."322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiQNyzP4as
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9dadMXCNh
"May," She corrected and chuckled. "Mrs. Williams is so old sounding."322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCXR6MLteJ
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7NEf5IEZM
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.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1VCKDQb9i
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZcSq2I3Nt
"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."322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gMiKWCtGS
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJ6T0fFUE6
"Does he have a lot of other people here?"322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjLzpQ0d2C
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeZAbbO4XQ
She shrugged," Mostly employees really."322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRIZ0vWDio
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnwxWOzeeX
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.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQo6lEVJWSM
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCA4bSuKJLY
"Go on." She nodded towards it and waited patiently.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MAvABdXbr
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZLURVSjJa
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.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGHK3ivvrf
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwu0K7VIcVl
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.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZx018jy2F
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KLLehIWOa
"Does he like to read?" I wandered and let my fingers brush along the edges of the wood.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRN8Pjs8Uy
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNwEjzFANC
"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."322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSHOmicQnv
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjrOoKQEco
"Hmm."322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWflicDuDrF
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCptGxPEpGm
"Anyways," May continued and sat the last bag down next to the others. "Check out your closet."322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDFpe3pFS4
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBHvDiwIGs
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.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMxU2z5LZk
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdL9v1nnqn
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.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpTKiRt2nZ
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73gujIY6SC
"This is..."I started as I lifted up the strap of a Gucci purse.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrupSBZyw1W
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FeRtv1jQn
"Amazing?" May chirped, eyes lighting up with delight.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvsVMWKxnM
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTMAWfrpLR
I nodded and set it down, "I was going to say a little but much."322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vaLwOeqpr
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvnNbXQ9wg
"You get used to it."322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmP8r7bVvXL
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2PGQRy4xH
I highly doubt that. 322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSYo6yTGC2
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkWGQ2qxOX
"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.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7VhUMtAG7
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14RHh3c98y
"Will Mr. Wolfe be present?"322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVhbFs3Vrw
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOEwPtuBkj
She stopped, "He doesn't eat with anyone."322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFh9UZSL7Y
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7ICBKNRyi
"That's kind of sad." 322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyt5bzR0ju
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtxkbWWWBK
She glanced back at me, "I suppose it is."322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtW75yO9Wjk
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhh6lPRp2YM
I watched May's back as she exited the room without another word.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGIQbSXePs
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3O9iSev0RS
I was alone again. For the first time, I had nobody.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHeZhOGyDS
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZTh2WdxG3
Just me.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9Bj7Xalqp
