"Robbie, I'd like you to meet Mr. Williams."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUtgJMexzf
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9Rc0L0dtv
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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtPY7yeOVH
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QdKC91Kkm
"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."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ443xrO3fx5
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQvdlNuSUe
I stammered, "G-great."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVSjRW7VLr
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhdYZwOuJi
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."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsEawQOAh4
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeg0ILGBvXS
"Really!" I beamed.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaE3RYMc3md
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCI3zpJWmk
School books, cell phone and charger, toiletries, some of my favorite pieces of jewelry and snacks I had hidden from Josh under my bed.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiqMk01EeG
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJW0TyRYwC
"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."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAXGgo2b0p
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuisaGGu0Q
"Wow...Thank you! That means a lot." I told her wholeheartedly.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9Q1KZMu6S
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYz9YXemLH
I'm going to miss this strange, humorless woman. 374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20EgftLonR
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9M9E4LpFu
"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."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPWlTZnG8I
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcIEsQa3gR
"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?"374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEfNKcNok6
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdnPjAnuhC
"Oh...wow..uh."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepm8pWToNm
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNW7TQVAfCb
"We'll decide in the car." He chuckled and gave Angel a parting glance before exiting.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XQ3TGrGxC
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIY3STOxTN6
"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."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIFfFoTVbf
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5DcCaAQkY
"Thank you," I replied and without thinking tossed my arms around her. "For everything."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakeV5XCZDP
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUutTwAZdQU
She stiffened a bit by the sudden display of affection, but let her arms cradle me in the embrace.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFQ8LTo2wB
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqtRxQV8zw
"Of course, Robbie. Let's get you down there."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OZic5XDDa
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5dXDJXr3f
The two of us headed down towards the front of the entrance where Mr. Williams waited in front of a sleek black Mercedes.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGPsl1XL9K
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2pLh5lWOy
"Alright! I'll see you soon, Robbie. Take care and remember to call if you need me." Angel piped up from the side.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04VUdYNvgZ
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgI2XcPxeZ6
"She'll be in great hands," Mr. Williams assured her warmly. "Ready to go Ms. Quinn?"374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJCubneQ0R
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSdlQ5R4VG
I nodded, swallowing the lump in my throat. "Yes, sir."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSz0xpbzs9
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNyO8v8zTN
I stepped toward the open door and glanced back giving Angel a worried look. She just smiled back at me and nodded.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEnNmKOc8M
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrt75clTkvq
"Ready?" Mr. Williams mused as he stepped into the drivers side374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMmCv6a38G
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNqGXQZydN
"Yes..."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7u4DCCxYq
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtidKxBzth1
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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04X80ZFL1h
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8GEq5ywIj
_374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVG937EO0CN
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJ4QBXWRGn
"We're here, Ms. Quinn."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVBy3savxZ
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXst8HxOot
My eyelids fluttered as Mr. Williams spoke. The car now parked along some secluded dark pathway surrounded by massive trees.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRE7l88wTfK
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3VrsE2WG4
"Where's the house?" I asked, peering out the dark window.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeadREsTSnd
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJqsUpxSCa
"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."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzT9LymcZSB
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CmlrJsOKq
"Is she your wife?" I wondered.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQMKdsViVB
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTqekvAVFS
"She sure is. My ball and chain."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUiKCXdGjX
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPF111426u
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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoSh6uQm9Z
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPKY44tqoc
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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0lXy6d5wU
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoerC0BUmPt
"Hello, Ms. Quinn!" She cheered as she caught sight of me. "I'm Mrs. Williams, but you're welcome to call me May."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFfAXXAsOj
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPW2ASPODP
I grinned back at her, relieved by her kindness. "It's a pleasure to meet you!"374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzGkxTZq25
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡei2e5bTTqZ
"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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhnMVLccRW
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdOBGVEnLz
"Of course, love." She smiled down at him.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1uSAw0hGc
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITOX7CCWHt
The two of them embrace quickly and kiss one another with so much passion as if they wouldn't see each other again.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSldFdeGBCS
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3RRz6zhhc
Watching them together really made me miss my parents. They were so in love.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwJ0y3ILGV
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZoxSUfAvd
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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZICCFJqZe
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOLnGVCRmc
"Alright! Ready to finish this trip up?"May asked, pulling me from my thoughts.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUX5d4lae9
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EYh8ncZgC
"Yes ma'am!" I replied and watched as Mr. Williams climbed into the jeep parked across from us.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibpuvZAXTV
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OeWmiHJdK
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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLmWKQY7Du
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtWTIOUcpL
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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0ev6BLUxu
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1r8SLC01x
"Just wait til you see this house." May mused from the front seat. "Have you ever seen a 3.8 million dollar mansion?"374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSH2JUaVUSX
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDAFpXvfW3
My jaw fell open, "3.8 million dollars?"374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2CMH6zFom
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgADOc5dd7Y
She laughed loudly, "Mr. Wolfe is all about the riches."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMSeyg1Zlj
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhl0fbhixr
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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CgTQLxC7K
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NYa6ST2dM
Before us stood a home like nothing I could ever imagine. It's massive structure towered over the yard like a castle.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKFhMVVvsV
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoU4EntVpRH
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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dPsM47BbQ
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PxYrCHqTC
"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."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeacqejxXga
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvVcaO7qzi
"He has his own bowling alley?" I gasped.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0e8ipH8Tj
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPyoT4kSSb
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."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeBK31Q3XG
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoyxKaJKBw
"Does he have many people over?" I wondered as she came to my door.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFiQacKisq
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxBS67eRry
"Not often," She shook her head and moved around me. "Mr. Wolfe is a man of...solitude."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNstBSrcEdT
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbD0SkcYwM
"What kind of work does he do?" I pushed, hoping May would give up something.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuf0PqGVwaW
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReI9PDuF1v
She averted her eyes, "Honestly, none of us know for sure. It's more of a need to know thing."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr41XlZzPmg
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ92tTDxgO6
I nodded, laughing a bit. "Need to know." I repeated.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOStTOmsBa
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxHSbD1Y95
"Now," May interjected and bumped the door shut with her hip. "Let me show you inside."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjFmsq3Z9y
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nhts376wO
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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SvjsDgH5k
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJ7eQBUGX5
"This is the foyer." She stated as we stepped through the all glass front door.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgR1mFBqqf7
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJcNGp6TiQ
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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtr4I65HrKd
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUgjE6xfBl
Never would've guessed a lonely dude in his 20's lived here. 374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJapyzvr53
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6bDz0KLis
"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?"374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKR5li3lKdi
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XANKG0x7Q
"Like a wife?"May wondered, giving me a suspicious grin. "He's very single and very gorgeous."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtfcPOenNw
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPQHuIvFcL
I scoffed, "Mrs. Williams! You're married."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEsDePkcWz
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5V413JCYKr
"May," She corrected and chuckled. "Mrs. Williams is so old sounding."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonYdsws1tL
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDgIr0evf9
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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcayucehxa
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUs2IhUsAL
"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."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSuK3Yf64d
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFoIC2bBOk
"Does he have a lot of other people here?"374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5JwxlgWGi
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOwQgTRVKp
She shrugged," Mostly employees really."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20cadvGmpR
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡik6RVf6beB
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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98GFTmDBAt
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLtkk87rNF
"Go on." She nodded towards it and waited patiently.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6FxhWCtpS
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2Lo8NViuQ
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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dyaqU3Rrq
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZSov8QO9H
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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCUAreXwnK
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4K6rjKBwT
"Does he like to read?" I wandered and let my fingers brush along the edges of the wood.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAnUf0Yg5z
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyh2Z66JM0k
"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."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluzQLW7QNS
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8iCrVmWtz
"Hmm."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOs6KkUJtj7
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcudtGHiIu8
"Anyways," May continued and sat the last bag down next to the others. "Check out your closet."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vbBf6MrDC
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMkD6FaUYu
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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMDQRNRkR7
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPvlwRnfJV
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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttuxlmL4CG
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmOtv3FFAV
"This is..."I started as I lifted up the strap of a Gucci purse.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDY5J4tV7t
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvbrJPPRhw
"Amazing?" May chirped, eyes lighting up with delight.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAE5dhauv4O
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BT0u8XbkT
I nodded and set it down, "I was going to say a little but much."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBD1esAoLZ
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fOeQqScvc
"You get used to it."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEosqmhVpUb
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1gaBMrbeO
I highly doubt that. 374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaNB5Wtx6G
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhQ6n4FycQ
"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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmDX9RD7aN
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDoqwR3gjF
"Will Mr. Wolfe be present?"374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylCyIyMix0
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTzQiIrMU2
She stopped, "He doesn't eat with anyone."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZomIOCIK6I
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjPjKcR72a
"That's kind of sad." 374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNqcUTRpjA
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTBRl3I072
She glanced back at me, "I suppose it is."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqn2T9yEJb
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hTVfnW6No
I watched May's back as she exited the room without another word.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JDK6iHHQJ
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1tqKYdz9L
I was alone again. For the first time, I had nobody.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1v2aq1BU8
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIS6oPcUkcg
Just me.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1O7d4HpLAk
