"Good morning, Ms. Quinn."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0qbPPwow6
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiBzZBfm4i
I blinked rapidly as the curtains are so rudely drawn back again. Hot, blinding sun pours into my room once again.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkB0v2OtyA8
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ltUKyfNtK
"M-morning." I grumbled.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGyjtJqHmS
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYL7R8KI2Ga
"Sorry about the rude awakening, Ms. Ramirez wanted to be sure you were up in time to eat and shower before she returns." 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RwLXl9Mux
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGMI5KQ8Be
I stared at the nurse, confused. "Returns? She's coming back today?"362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRWVwqTx4E
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kfOLnrNgM
"Yes, she has to work to finish up here for the hospital."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfB9gjuCvi0
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfue9vYkIK
"She sure does." I mumbled lowly.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5iPAH6CuB
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhBZwDGvmv
The nurse chirped up, "She brought you some clean clothes. You can shower and ready for the day, if you want to place your order with the kitchen staff I'll bring your food in about 30 minutes."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1O6t0hC1R
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQdHTO1l6r
"Thank you, that'd be nice."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRk5s9NDRJ
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLMgAjvHyR
She gave me a small smile and jotted something down quickly before leaving me alone to find the strength to begin my day.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsSSPyI1QF
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsi1ec1XqO7
The contract laid on the table next to me. Sticking out like a sore thumb with the weight it held.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0y1X60wtA
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdVgTsM60l
I had tried to read through the contract conditions last night but whatever pain medicine they had me on knocked me out fast.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rUgmCsBar
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZf1NSlcF4e
I pushed off the bed and let my feet adjust to the floor. Little tingles shot up through my body as my weight adjusted clumsily.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTzwwz9owP
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwBMgIu4Hj
After I figured out how to walk again like a damn baby deer, I made my way to the shower and turned it on full blast.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZAgDW7eVc
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhmL261kor
I still wasn't sure if this was actual reality or some weird sick nightmare.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiZx0XLA9m
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnnpyynMwc
Josh being gone didn't feel possible. Why would he do something so idiotic?362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteA22XzBRY
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGEE9DNXZW
"You're so stupid, Josh." I whispered angrily. "You should be here so I can tell you that."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5wtxfu4aF
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0Fr8ZYem9
Eventually, the hot water turned cold and I drug my depressed self from the shower and tugged a towel tightly around me.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKNdPJeMzw
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6B0jQkYma7
I stepped slowly in front of the mirror and reached out to wipe away the condensation.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm112QHefgd
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQejlpyAeG
Brown, doe eyes...thick ginger hair...scatters of brown freckles...pale skin.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0f0EFZUPM
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmxSRiWhRQ
"Whew..." I breathed and grasped the counter. "Kept my face together."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdogVWOZSx
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAEtLWuiQf
Growing up, everyone always commented on the similarities I shared with my mother. Same long, thick ginger hair and big brown doe eyes. Every feature was so identical and she was so beautiful.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8a4ddbs0C
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRgcIxXSqr
When I got tired I'd spend hours counting her freckles scattered all over her cheeks or arms before falling asleep. I used to count the beautiful hues of orange and red in her hair as the sun danced on her locks.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaH9UbQOGK
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMmS9Lr6nq
My fingers itched up towards the little heart locket resting on my neck.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCC2vDfVbd
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyl16q2sGIW
"I miss you so much..." I muttered as I fingered the clasp. "I promise...I'll do everything I can to make you all proud of me."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrwDMZziEA
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwqq3KQU7w
I brought the heart to my mouth and kissed it softly. The little picture of the four of us inside on Christmas day felt so cheesy at the time.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVmgaq73bJ
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyLNIFu6QH
Who would've known it was our last time together.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEXZXcfjhh
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0T8cBstEX
I hurried through the motions of combing out the tangles in my hair and tossing on the black tee and shorts Angel brought for me. Everything seemed to be moving in slow motion.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzJCES5D2r
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYmWIoptTv
I wasn't sure what I was feeling anymore. Numb? Shocked?362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmai8kVezn
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZ2ZpehYxt
I walked out back towards the bed, grabbing the scary contract on my way.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51mHgjx22V

I rolled my eyes and tossed the papers. "This guy has to be insane! They expect me to just sign away my life to some man I've never met."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJhipltV9E
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJzRIFxa2e
"Not at all."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHudukI2cD1
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3LRTjyTqD
I jumped as Angel's voice rang out through the room. She walked in and set her briefcase down on the chair. She was dressed in a tight blouse and jeans, still looking gorgeous as her blue eyes locked on me.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUe7U7DRWn
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGysY7bUR9
"Sorry for frightening you," She smiled softly and set the tray she was carrying down. "Pancakes, sausage, eggs, and a huge glass of chocolate milk. You have good taste in breakfast foods."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyTnng37An
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGDvJH8icQ
"Thank you,"I replied and felt my mouth water at the sight. "This has always been a go-to meal for me."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfC8VhysvH
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolyhoK8f5C
"So..."Angel begun and moved to sit next to me. "Any thoughts?"362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8O65TnT0mE
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCSJmSKqna
I shrugged and shoved some egg into my mouth, "I don't know...all of it seems really weird and confusing. Plus, it doesn't seem to ever state what happens if I'm to break these terms or tell anyone of this contract."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Rp8eTzLCh
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tOL3AtFje
"Robbie..."Angel sighed and raked her fingers through the ends of her ponytail. "I want to be very transparent with you. Mr. Wolfe is not a normal man. He is very successful and owns a lot of people and a lot of businesses. If you even get to meet him, I'll be very surprised. He's not just incredibly wealthy though, he's also extremely dangerous."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVsQ4SOVGS
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnP94OCkvH
"Sure," I rolled my eyes. "Does he kill people or something?" I snort.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUElM7Y7mD9
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1qrLR9m1g
She doesn't laugh. This chick really has no sense of humor.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHilhVvjb7
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhsfyKV8Pn
"Shut up." I teased. "No he doesn't."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvpdJkXwYh
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBiDntQ2N6
"Listen to me, Robbie. He has a lot of power and if you were to agree to his protection and care, you can not tell anyone about him. He will do anything he has to in order to protect his organization and his family."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTFMAm26Ef
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoc29Yqr7D
"H-he'd kill me? This is the man my brother was involved with?"362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCVA3pf0gw
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1C5KR9o5dl
"Your brother wasn't just an acquaintance...he was sworn into this life with him." Angel responded.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFn5IKhxLZ
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYNqU6t1sJ
"And if I don't agree to his terms...I can just go on about my life?" I asked her and sat my fork down. "I can just go on without the worry of someone shooting me in the head."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3r3iPSmm6O
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcD2RF2blN
Angel rolled her eyes," He's not going to just have a gun to your head. He's a professional and a business man. He's not going to threaten you unless you give him a reason, plus you are going to have some pretty scary men with you if you choose to ever leave his estate."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MycFZpwlv
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVednGd1Kz
"How do YOU even know all of this?" I asked her, narrowing my eyes. "Did they suck you in as well?"362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5sOiQazUv
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeMmR3Z5O3
She chuckled, "Not exactly, but we did agree upon a business agreement in the past three weeks while you were sleeping. I have a lot of skills and Mr. Wolfe thinks I would be a great business asset for him."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktPFRS6Mm9
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3wTDfzxkF
"Well congratulations on the new job." 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdakMsVVRy
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmX1nyqbbh
Angel ignored me,"Let's get serious here, Robbie. This needs to be signed before 12pm."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtmiM88eO4
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDOEWdqQUx
"What happens after I sign it?" I challenged. "Where do I go?"362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMJNNQ7OBP
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1ryflmh5i
"Mr. Wolfe lives in Los Angeles, California. You'd be picked up this evening by Mr. Williams who works for the family directly and brought to the estate."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lSzjOr42s
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESjmyxKXx2
My mouth fell open, "I have to fucking move?"362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWH5Fiwh1J
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsb1iKACWLL
"Do you really think your landlord is going to let you stay where you are now? What about your friends?" Sheglared at me.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rDaApKu2y
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTIt7N32gK
I've known this chick less than 24 hours and she's already ripping me a new one.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCinEsSHPO
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vYrGkgQBv
"I..I'm sure I can find someone." I lied and looked away. "It's weird to just leave my whole life here, especially when I'm set to graduate and I've never even been outside of Oregon."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIyzI5CaFU
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrwAGWtL79
"What a better time to start. A whole new beginning...new friends, new school, new start."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghkcSzbxQR
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9xE9nOQ5t
"I have less than a month of school left, wouldn't that be pointless?" I groaned and pushed the tray from me. "Can't I just do online or something?"362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZFa9LvxDM
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShU8YGAQEt
"Per the contract he would prefer you attend a private school nearby so you can have the graduation experience he wants you to have."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT66QcctxqJ
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZFJXj5BiZ
"How old is this guy? Fucking sixty or something?" I snorted. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMkviATdGU
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKTnwL2Lmc
What if it's a set up? Maybe this is Jagger's plan to finish the job.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzIsikulmB
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7m9r8eaiH
"He's twenty five, Robbie." Angel shook her head and reached for the contract. "What other questions do you have about this?"362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oSO2J4ORZ
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAa7lpRlST
"Here's what I know...Wolfe is dangerous, can't tell anyone or I'll die, I have til 12pm to decide, and I have to uproot everything from here." I listed off for her.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1N2HhgwXkX
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEeVzJuP9q
Angel stared back, her blue eyes softening. "Let's be realistic here, what's holding you back from this?"362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8fBRWSu7D
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvja7TVsOe
"I don't know him," I shrug and push further back into the hospital bed. "If I don't go, I'm left to try to survive alone. If I do go, I'm basically giving my entire life up to some man."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJBIGPGkEu
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjCdvLPWUc
"He's professional about this, Robbie. Like I said, the chance of you seeing him around often is slim."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlE73XSrQ2
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLEqtLUWpU
"I suppose I don't have many options," I sighed and glance at the papers in her hands. "Will I still be in touch with you?"362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ959ULH5zbx
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNi9Kozpqa9
She nodded, smiling brightly. "I'll be keeping tabs frequently." 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7l2lVz0St
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonOq9cjhpU
"Alright...alright. Give me a damn pen."362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ORnonmLff
