"Robbie, I'd like you to meet Mr. Williams."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjTWTtrARv
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLhlxJZgJu
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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifukCfp78G
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81e2dwVM82
"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."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8edWrgbXwZ
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLg8G21D9D8
I stammered, "G-great."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiSNbE0WlI
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡma1pNyITez
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."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2U1cgiPKv
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67ch6y4yk9
"Really!" I beamed.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNYKmoSMxZ
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSebsKUBUs
School books, cell phone and charger, toiletries, some of my favorite pieces of jewelry and snacks I had hidden from Josh under my bed.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYfSTLsXTt
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40m97mzELs
"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."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrn3skDemH
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwdku7CUoo
"Wow...Thank you! That means a lot." I told her wholeheartedly.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiL94yp0VX
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqRzw5yBJM
I'm going to miss this strange, humorless woman. 333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2foEI9KHWq
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQ5BuGKcs0
"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."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TCrJo6T5v
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9c6dA3IE5q
"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?"333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLL1vKeWWDs
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qrgPyhKP8
"Oh...wow..uh."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BfTTJmEfN
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYdgx3RkkO
"We'll decide in the car." He chuckled and gave Angel a parting glance before exiting.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVX7WATVuwa
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQ9klxdjJW
"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."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbHQ34J6XG
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsa1dDnqWHj
"Thank you," I replied and without thinking tossed my arms around her. "For everything."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTQnKl9MDz
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5s6w9qqbZe
She stiffened a bit by the sudden display of affection, but let her arms cradle me in the embrace.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgwesHXPmM
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiP2lQgucc
"Of course, Robbie. Let's get you down there."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7VY3tepYE
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNmwd4Et6o
The two of us headed down towards the front of the entrance where Mr. Williams waited in front of a sleek black Mercedes.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKjqj2xeMg
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjlCgvdH4i
"Alright! I'll see you soon, Robbie. Take care and remember to call if you need me." Angel piped up from the side.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1NdK3Jrl6
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVZs4mLVG5
"She'll be in great hands," Mr. Williams assured her warmly. "Ready to go Ms. Quinn?"333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPqTwSs2Mo
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrAd0ITchv
I nodded, swallowing the lump in my throat. "Yes, sir."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKOzvADYcC
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwlYkLnKA8
I stepped toward the open door and glanced back giving Angel a worried look. She just smiled back at me and nodded.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqvJkELgK9
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLK5WTMRsqC
"Ready?" Mr. Williams mused as he stepped into the drivers side333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lrqpGnjoO
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzOR3L4EvR
"Yes..."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80LJspGDBV
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadcrOfisEc
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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagsgiM4Eei
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP75r6GYui2
_333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3nDuIXb30
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyuHwR7ajN
"We're here, Ms. Quinn."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoReU9taZAH
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNQoJchaGK
My eyelids fluttered as Mr. Williams spoke. The car now parked along some secluded dark pathway surrounded by massive trees.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZd0nKuKDT
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZdOiYjm2A
"Where's the house?" I asked, peering out the dark window.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzKVQdKSZY
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3ppiU6cmP
"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."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9klDCE0R2
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKABP8uc4t
"Is she your wife?" I wondered.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1fNZaQslj
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy96IvzCObv
"She sure is. My ball and chain."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZqzFq7QSU
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0DJPoFlsK
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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCvtPpfxfa
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMiKSNabra
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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFbVIQLNz8
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzHU2Zj7vF
"Hello, Ms. Quinn!" She cheered as she caught sight of me. "I'm Mrs. Williams, but you're welcome to call me May."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdg6Ke3xjH
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEvLVRwriw
I grinned back at her, relieved by her kindness. "It's a pleasure to meet you!"333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ebgHmrjeW
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriy6aykT38
"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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppbsCdsoeX
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeJqGuxEks
"Of course, love." She smiled down at him.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxKhEmjC3B
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkf4e4wsdgD
The two of them embrace quickly and kiss one another with so much passion as if they wouldn't see each other again.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3FxinYVAY
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaaOp1ik7p
Watching them together really made me miss my parents. They were so in love.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DLPzqa8bs
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rZDcfabAL
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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FtpLcgJBT
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6tPcjoBdz
"Alright! Ready to finish this trip up?"May asked, pulling me from my thoughts.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvU5d8W4D1
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWxPP9vDZZ
"Yes ma'am!" I replied and watched as Mr. Williams climbed into the jeep parked across from us.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9f1p0cwUK
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccMvsEpPLV
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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvn8pzx3ui
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhBBFhKSYB
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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyq0xgoQ5G
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHylzOjbGsd
"Just wait til you see this house." May mused from the front seat. "Have you ever seen a 3.8 million dollar mansion?"333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICCca4xHLf
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2OfKpNTAv
My jaw fell open, "3.8 million dollars?"333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSyEMQGOrd
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdAmCOG2lz
She laughed loudly, "Mr. Wolfe is all about the riches."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UvtDY3M1y
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBduJ4JZEk
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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYBjEMjRH8
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQSftM2KQR
Before us stood a home like nothing I could ever imagine. It's massive structure towered over the yard like a castle.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDxzWQ39GW
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWpyBU84rm
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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdwhMLuk5E
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZM8craZRH
"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."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIC7Ky9em2
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOjU7auPZj
"He has his own bowling alley?" I gasped.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZT5xPWNCL
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQZnwM2ViG
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."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0SwOx7Rs7
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhrRq5C7y6
"Does he have many people over?" I wondered as she came to my door.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYY2fVg2hUi
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLT1jLunxBS
"Not often," She shook her head and moved around me. "Mr. Wolfe is a man of...solitude."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4trPjsn4MD
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUhF5ckfod
"What kind of work does he do?" I pushed, hoping May would give up something.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OW27Un4Qg
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDO4SU2or8
She averted her eyes, "Honestly, none of us know for sure. It's more of a need to know thing."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4h0k5ltAYI
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1T6VCORMdC
I nodded, laughing a bit. "Need to know." I repeated.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKb4Z14gJan
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08Pt7VfoXE
"Now," May interjected and bumped the door shut with her hip. "Let me show you inside."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpISZYOJkHi
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxihNmHOBY
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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlU6RuuOjgl
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uqZMZK3Ms
"This is the foyer." She stated as we stepped through the all glass front door.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eXY0RRwWM
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWLdJWKV7i
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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlSYhKsTCS
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDR4QdIVTZ
Never would've guessed a lonely dude in his 20's lived here. 333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0rjzhdTHG
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMGPD0gdLC
"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?"333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMdUrzBWyB
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92VghaLhNN
"Like a wife?"May wondered, giving me a suspicious grin. "He's very single and very gorgeous."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVjXsW4ZMc
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ956fJeK2Xf
I scoffed, "Mrs. Williams! You're married."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6vaP4A7Lk
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCmfiCCGS9
"May," She corrected and chuckled. "Mrs. Williams is so old sounding."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2pCpcY4wE
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsfRRgOHPl
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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeRmYJedH2
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQicboHm4E
"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."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpjyRjtPe0
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAFDqZfnYX
"Does he have a lot of other people here?"333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeXKkanoJQ
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjzIAgn3VJ
She shrugged," Mostly employees really."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdCnKPrg7U
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMu1NKO3Vh
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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnhii1da93
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs85yDfBotV
"Go on." She nodded towards it and waited patiently.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20sOpwPVk5
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsI9fiBtEBd
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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8SEt1ENDo
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PruyY3VH0
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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nDopqOnWc
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8u7AU6olIH
"Does he like to read?" I wandered and let my fingers brush along the edges of the wood.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSqeWOgR3d
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYQR45Hikn
"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."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeHecdiS7r
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxlbIYyaE0
"Hmm."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycQxJXViWh
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPkYRAvdlG
"Anyways," May continued and sat the last bag down next to the others. "Check out your closet."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzwsIQ1jsW
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTHJL6WZIn
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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeeZkoJiH4
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDI0R5y7dj
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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazEU6S83w2
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdoIhtgN00
"This is..."I started as I lifted up the strap of a Gucci purse.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNT5kiBPkOt
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9K4pIOpUES
"Amazing?" May chirped, eyes lighting up with delight.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYP4zN7j9vO
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQbyC6IKCQ
I nodded and set it down, "I was going to say a little but much."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBm2pTzUPG
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ldyj2ZtyV
"You get used to it."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXIKEVsNGX
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoajn6cRWp
I highly doubt that. 333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEvezcJMyC
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLwxp6g8oe
"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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVzAIrswGo
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zz631TRqq
"Will Mr. Wolfe be present?"333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUvnM8v9Ol
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJjtUFY6cR
She stopped, "He doesn't eat with anyone."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTzwVcMh92
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DyCbXF781
"That's kind of sad." 333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlE0Cvz2l8z
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoA2vfYogH9
She glanced back at me, "I suppose it is."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSQ5kO8a6L
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1y0BDd1yM4
I watched May's back as she exited the room without another word.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyj87KJKmT
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUzI1rOi5Q
I was alone again. For the first time, I had nobody.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MDCgijwXz
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTZiTC7Hq0
Just me.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjGhk5JYLo
