"Robbie, I'd like you to meet Mr. Williams."312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuu8yiAq1GW
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWvX4H7Bt5
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.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEdF2hiDPQ
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4em7tgLyEN
"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."312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8Xi5HWCQt
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NVkeuKf9c
I stammered, "G-great."312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8JqOKysRi
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYLk4hOoze
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."312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYfFW0cIh6
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzevMtU8OX
"Really!" I beamed.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBAx3q1HIr
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk41nFuvjNG
School books, cell phone and charger, toiletries, some of my favorite pieces of jewelry and snacks I had hidden from Josh under my bed.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwLhubt82x
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMe8Y8AmVJE
"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."312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHKbk6UiCG
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAd6KmpFGsO
"Wow...Thank you! That means a lot." I told her wholeheartedly.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCi8B3TsBh1
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKynrR9yAW
I'm going to miss this strange, humorless woman. 312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtxqBziqnm
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxjubhYB7C
"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."312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeFOVDllVH
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG73FnYMSDc
"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?"312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgtVuvUFUq
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYQvj53q8s
"Oh...wow..uh."312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8xkFiMyrF
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkC91xlUISr
"We'll decide in the car." He chuckled and gave Angel a parting glance before exiting.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlLHdrJhPf
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTzkOYxOIu
"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."312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcgmIn3vIo
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4JD4SqKGz
"Thank you," I replied and without thinking tossed my arms around her. "For everything."312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQNOU827tH
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Rk3on931Z
She stiffened a bit by the sudden display of affection, but let her arms cradle me in the embrace.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3L9o2wlgDc
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQ0BDagcdX
"Of course, Robbie. Let's get you down there."312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDLwH3ip5a
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbop7l0JBv6
The two of us headed down towards the front of the entrance where Mr. Williams waited in front of a sleek black Mercedes.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMElvJrXPMq
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39X1DPg1h3
"Alright! I'll see you soon, Robbie. Take care and remember to call if you need me." Angel piped up from the side.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxFzYv9yKe
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rzOOR4zjO
"She'll be in great hands," Mr. Williams assured her warmly. "Ready to go Ms. Quinn?"312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1bM6cXZTy
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHClbs7OzXP
I nodded, swallowing the lump in my throat. "Yes, sir."312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRVW2Ko0HX
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mUWNCIlri
I stepped toward the open door and glanced back giving Angel a worried look. She just smiled back at me and nodded.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2bL5Tpyot
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWIJuFFlXX
"Ready?" Mr. Williams mused as he stepped into the drivers side312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcotbcXX1cF
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTspiQE6pT
"Yes..."312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqGl8rGmcb
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49zvArEO3t
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.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpAO7EFIu1
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEQ1GmopRX
_312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAV7T5yjIB
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WisZyEwAE
"We're here, Ms. Quinn."312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BwBJkNsJT
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLHKJ4ppvB
My eyelids fluttered as Mr. Williams spoke. The car now parked along some secluded dark pathway surrounded by massive trees.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iG3bVGAjR
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80AmlrkFUA
"Where's the house?" I asked, peering out the dark window.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pXqhHtfen
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJr3o6VjJX
"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."312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprOKrb69Db
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hEpEOWEUn
"Is she your wife?" I wondered.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkM4dl6R2T
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMil8lP8Ddg
"She sure is. My ball and chain."312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBeTJwYdK6
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEidZFKfc6i
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.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmP3tFQpF6
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOqjXFraiQ
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.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJMgOOhTt0
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3C6O9c8Dh
"Hello, Ms. Quinn!" She cheered as she caught sight of me. "I'm Mrs. Williams, but you're welcome to call me May."312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoApESfJHI
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFef2aA3j1X
I grinned back at her, relieved by her kindness. "It's a pleasure to meet you!"312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsCeGTR3Pu
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsExlhU5M74
"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.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiczVP2ssZ
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObYG0iurjo
"Of course, love." She smiled down at him.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcQRNd3JZn
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhK8Sd2Oj1V
The two of them embrace quickly and kiss one another with so much passion as if they wouldn't see each other again.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdG4lXJXdl
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmP8SBG0euB
Watching them together really made me miss my parents. They were so in love.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYY3OBn7yl
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiPiDgsSI6
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.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6LezUPPb5
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDjncDmVCm
"Alright! Ready to finish this trip up?"May asked, pulling me from my thoughts.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40LSnI3mUg
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLm1nnQbIVW
"Yes ma'am!" I replied and watched as Mr. Williams climbed into the jeep parked across from us.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbx6MKQWzvG
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Cr2pApbHR
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.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5g1lXWcZwj
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGwF7bBcoq
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.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzThq1zGIog
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJ5i2LY5Rg
"Just wait til you see this house." May mused from the front seat. "Have you ever seen a 3.8 million dollar mansion?"312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpM6rFPdGYJ
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXL8qnMrsw
My jaw fell open, "3.8 million dollars?"312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU98Mwq2dzr
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXLd7REyJH
She laughed loudly, "Mr. Wolfe is all about the riches."312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCwbbIoQnA
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJwtejv12D
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.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9SJqh9VCE
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwfSx3JcWL
Before us stood a home like nothing I could ever imagine. It's massive structure towered over the yard like a castle.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiT0Y5gl0f
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfhL7iflEU
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.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONblrWgDsF
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw40DHPq89a
"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."312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOXvJ3GGKt
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KkiLileOZ
"He has his own bowling alley?" I gasped.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsB8scRWUTU
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliaojhDtnf
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."312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3v7iJ44UB
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWSJ6q0p0o
"Does he have many people over?" I wondered as she came to my door.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEedrj52AR
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWtCVF22b2
"Not often," She shook her head and moved around me. "Mr. Wolfe is a man of...solitude."312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1roFPIddK
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpijmrFc3ox
"What kind of work does he do?" I pushed, hoping May would give up something.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHD45mnsxqI
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡau7IHeDSuj
She averted her eyes, "Honestly, none of us know for sure. It's more of a need to know thing."312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeUcPxR4Im
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGH4kVbsuMW
I nodded, laughing a bit. "Need to know." I repeated.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAG5OG4108q
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrndIBl2O3
"Now," May interjected and bumped the door shut with her hip. "Let me show you inside."312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpTpFyEANI
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUoeH1RCPU
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.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡla7kIQcFW8
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvt7vcfiYp4
"This is the foyer." She stated as we stepped through the all glass front door.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiKRpIygkd
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aWOXXilNz
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.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlU6rzpJsQ
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoQl3WhVND
Never would've guessed a lonely dude in his 20's lived here. 312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JIvsUI9sr
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuhtDY1yH7
"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?"312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcp0jhkPrCB
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmyYJwQozm
"Like a wife?"May wondered, giving me a suspicious grin. "He's very single and very gorgeous."312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07YInh28DF
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiYnaPdGll
I scoffed, "Mrs. Williams! You're married."312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycVawVZcBK
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3L7M08qzO
"May," She corrected and chuckled. "Mrs. Williams is so old sounding."312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbABqAr8fzd
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90ZHAReB2N
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.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdjevhKLCT
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuyLMs653N
"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."312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RqQQhheff
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoB9RB1fK0X
"Does he have a lot of other people here?"312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIjAMaGBSP
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4Qf9HesmN
She shrugged," Mostly employees really."312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80X9UfW7fS
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PD0fmFI2A
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.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrudAikisL
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqz5Xm939Ht
"Go on." She nodded towards it and waited patiently.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSh3geas8T
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjVp73pU2d
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.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QBc6ZvDaQ
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVuL7XgR2O
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.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3L7Fqo9bA
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPsDgfMbjb
"Does he like to read?" I wandered and let my fingers brush along the edges of the wood.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabWzI6XMlD
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MvL521jTO
"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."312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFHuVgRTx7
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXT3luxFGg
"Hmm."312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kRDasC79n
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4eJhERMJm
"Anyways," May continued and sat the last bag down next to the others. "Check out your closet."312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAsgknM94s
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpz0KAzmxg
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.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9X89iNp1vF
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrefRNkWma
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.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3Ovu5pqWK
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2EaPnh3DR
"This is..."I started as I lifted up the strap of a Gucci purse.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDgdrcOcIe
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWc9ZLhvc8U
"Amazing?" May chirped, eyes lighting up with delight.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKJVZy6V4x
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLa7n8PWPfq
I nodded and set it down, "I was going to say a little but much."312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CUbcNo5Ca
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03tPQ10Cpx
"You get used to it."312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzI2XOTWlsG
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMc9G8b7jPD
I highly doubt that. 312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm029AS3oK5
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNlv1mJ7Qi
"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.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmAtpWIPix
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jghVvnzvl
"Will Mr. Wolfe be present?"312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqbhsnKmfI
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPUeCtkUby
She stopped, "He doesn't eat with anyone."312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLnIUewIn2
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyY62R980DE
"That's kind of sad." 312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRV6qJm9bg
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9URmzaWhqf
She glanced back at me, "I suppose it is."312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPg9tFwMinI
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzYBpASV4A
I watched May's back as she exited the room without another word.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvgZuVLIFI
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jDA33cgYX
I was alone again. For the first time, I had nobody.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRLY9Ta7vF
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cPS3Vg9su
Just me.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcL4lgoficE
