"Robbie, I'd like you to meet Mr. Williams."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy61NOZ51n4
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKU3ajcTURa
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.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡandh70IjG2
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytsutYAOZL
"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."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPh6opE7uCL
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAdb0yofGx
I stammered, "G-great."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KSke9qJSy
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByUseOKWJC
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."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveOJr3uWGg
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVe1gie0G3q
"Really!" I beamed.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYTYZgSoQu
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC21NyDLK3G
School books, cell phone and charger, toiletries, some of my favorite pieces of jewelry and snacks I had hidden from Josh under my bed.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4QJCxopn1
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1m1vNQEut
"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."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDjU0fXbW9
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGpFvuxRb5
"Wow...Thank you! That means a lot." I told her wholeheartedly.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCu5hsIo2q
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8SAStG5Aq
I'm going to miss this strange, humorless woman. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQF3chKaZc9
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqXAxQVEo1
"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."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7VHzP74yv
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLte5V9e0QD
"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?"362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyMWCw1FbA
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFm37Qnuoe
"Oh...wow..uh."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtxXBLhgdG
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPafK1FJXB
"We'll decide in the car." He chuckled and gave Angel a parting glance before exiting.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBGBEsniaj
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFG2sbCsSaw
"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."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2ArMQAMAW
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7XsqzNZgO
"Thank you," I replied and without thinking tossed my arms around her. "For everything."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWf4IPlLtzS
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeyiSMyAh4
She stiffened a bit by the sudden display of affection, but let her arms cradle me in the embrace.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvU0UmbnPGe
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJYOqVkg7x
"Of course, Robbie. Let's get you down there."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQEZqtg2hM
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIgBtV3sU1
The two of us headed down towards the front of the entrance where Mr. Williams waited in front of a sleek black Mercedes.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDwmwTFWCa
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7TYkdmDgk
"Alright! I'll see you soon, Robbie. Take care and remember to call if you need me." Angel piped up from the side.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycAAsmo52G
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV89aoNyyR0
"She'll be in great hands," Mr. Williams assured her warmly. "Ready to go Ms. Quinn?"362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1NWUUgI7s
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQyyeMAoQP
I nodded, swallowing the lump in my throat. "Yes, sir."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5qG20Sz57
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Gef3kTcI1
I stepped toward the open door and glanced back giving Angel a worried look. She just smiled back at me and nodded.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKu9gTMkdi
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hZHd4lWJv
"Ready?" Mr. Williams mused as he stepped into the drivers side362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0dzHSwduB
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD97G2RhisS
"Yes..."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRahNZIywfP
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuS1BRP6sXS
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.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0LCGLUmmb
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvurv4ZnHNv
_362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGCgXZQF91
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7kD0GUNQe
"We're here, Ms. Quinn."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgN7kT4GpxB
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzBY5A23dD
My eyelids fluttered as Mr. Williams spoke. The car now parked along some secluded dark pathway surrounded by massive trees.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKc2Fq29nR
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1HS1N91mh
"Where's the house?" I asked, peering out the dark window.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoJMYZNvni
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZVWMWDbTU
"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."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZf8hbSKYI
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YG4svY3HA
"Is she your wife?" I wondered.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHTsahtaTn
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MQMhzoqog
"She sure is. My ball and chain."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ032RV1YIF8
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2prKa2cztW
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.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnDH3PdhXv
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfw0fCIDON
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.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYhTAJa9Sj
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8keO5KznU
"Hello, Ms. Quinn!" She cheered as she caught sight of me. "I'm Mrs. Williams, but you're welcome to call me May."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyed3448r6F
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrunbrD90Wh
I grinned back at her, relieved by her kindness. "It's a pleasure to meet you!"362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oPwQHpz7F
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdRw3pc3qD
"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.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcnqyHgqk5
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bnay8kWRK
"Of course, love." She smiled down at him.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzZJJdBNvD
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesQdSVWLVj
The two of them embrace quickly and kiss one another with so much passion as if they wouldn't see each other again.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfdAQ95W2Z
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpgW5QjM0L
Watching them together really made me miss my parents. They were so in love.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTT5HsJ0h0
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcpeFJYjzh
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.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XwQ7gfX4l
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnEkLXfUpF
"Alright! Ready to finish this trip up?"May asked, pulling me from my thoughts.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCYgaWkK9i
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Qfhpg0gq5
"Yes ma'am!" I replied and watched as Mr. Williams climbed into the jeep parked across from us.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroq1eQ1k5Y
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNUhMZu3Vq
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.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxYvKNRZRX
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8AC9vEVgR
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.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwflXwrYfF
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyF1Q9QB4M
"Just wait til you see this house." May mused from the front seat. "Have you ever seen a 3.8 million dollar mansion?"362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrdtJGW62c
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJE0sPMTqRn
My jaw fell open, "3.8 million dollars?"362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6h8IQyWja
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzc5nSwOGIr
She laughed loudly, "Mr. Wolfe is all about the riches."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7PWCLyCGq
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRskRejdkm
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.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAnleZ0gKr
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbYlw8uRhe
Before us stood a home like nothing I could ever imagine. It's massive structure towered over the yard like a castle.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zano6X1KX
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKzP0szeVd
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.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPc8sB42dDK
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkLfA6fK0q
"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."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPnjCF9XWP
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8KCHpKeFr
"He has his own bowling alley?" I gasped.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzpkLs1KCj
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGppOKrdopl
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."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHhrrDRkvG
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnieuxmhtsS
"Does he have many people over?" I wondered as she came to my door.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNijX7mbvxn
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAjIE5wlAk
"Not often," She shook her head and moved around me. "Mr. Wolfe is a man of...solitude."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgD19ZJSBS
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmVo7xRqPG
"What kind of work does he do?" I pushed, hoping May would give up something.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tpvJeSztJ
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUMmZzoS5V
She averted her eyes, "Honestly, none of us know for sure. It's more of a need to know thing."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbceG0JX61q
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeANoA5dRk
I nodded, laughing a bit. "Need to know." I repeated.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5x2b3z9PxS
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2w5mupDnUu
"Now," May interjected and bumped the door shut with her hip. "Let me show you inside."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa175l5QKwb
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNXz8eTegS
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.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLV49GxAAAF
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNoldbuNIi
"This is the foyer." She stated as we stepped through the all glass front door.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1d8gzOAan6
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGRaAHI0D9
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.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPYxcf00Tp
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqXk0VVUJy
Never would've guessed a lonely dude in his 20's lived here. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTUwzruERJ
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzKNuVHN94
"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?"362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMf0lxqjQNJ
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ltqd6l33G
"Like a wife?"May wondered, giving me a suspicious grin. "He's very single and very gorgeous."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVa5oCrNdX
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EjOYdc1gx
I scoffed, "Mrs. Williams! You're married."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wYevgejyt
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDz0tujlF3
"May," She corrected and chuckled. "Mrs. Williams is so old sounding."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEjiSJBJCP
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVbAucdGOR
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.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6P6a5G44ef
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKsXwEzlu4
"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."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrlBNyYWRx
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡca7P9cnSRt
"Does he have a lot of other people here?"362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZEokbQ3Q0
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTPupMhsmf
She shrugged," Mostly employees really."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Wj8tqKInB
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIdEhxPVeS
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.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEQ3kp0iPw
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBsQXw20Mq
"Go on." She nodded towards it and waited patiently.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPdqRg18sC
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5S3fAmNQb
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.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHlAACYLRh
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEFgb9WIfk
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.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6coqsaTEXG
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOxcVlSxQI
"Does he like to read?" I wandered and let my fingers brush along the edges of the wood.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaHecLP7dY
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkJcCpxybM
"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."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtLlFESN2I
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstitkRnOBK
"Hmm."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEprZD5egta
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwApbaSNa6
"Anyways," May continued and sat the last bag down next to the others. "Check out your closet."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPtSfDSGVi
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCu8DBOai4
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.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWC5C2jYgM
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6TiZ0ozGj
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.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtWJhcpmkG
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3MdDEozAV
"This is..."I started as I lifted up the strap of a Gucci purse.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPs1BM7r2B0
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65bek721Tk
"Amazing?" May chirped, eyes lighting up with delight.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXqQ63bDfd
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekEh56DksK
I nodded and set it down, "I was going to say a little but much."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuUom1y1gq
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgnTs4nx43
"You get used to it."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MwH7EBcWX
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkzINZGcyW
I highly doubt that. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyBpA7Zxpc
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH02EV8jqJX
"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.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8l97RoBw7r
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnUptJdJfB
"Will Mr. Wolfe be present?"362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWPMX54ZzD
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegtx3uCJbL
She stopped, "He doesn't eat with anyone."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7XnNXpLXq
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzgtLaKdrJ
"That's kind of sad." 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Aio65DBMR
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNBPbG0mGC
She glanced back at me, "I suppose it is."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsvwl452Gs
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn02mKH6Ilg
I watched May's back as she exited the room without another word.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5brahNObn
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RKRdd5yR4
I was alone again. For the first time, I had nobody.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JkoZOf8ka
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXJoSDSEPj
Just me.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbpaQm1IZN
