"Robbie, I'd like you to meet Mr. Williams."360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FzD9XBVjt
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF960nYoLIc
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.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDM4Blqdcq
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSbcDp7au5
"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."360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMwW8bFNIG
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEHP1MwOCH
I stammered, "G-great."360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqrBsePYu9
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNdLgHv8zT
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."360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70g6gag80v
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwPCAt8iBs
"Really!" I beamed.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2lNM67vMe
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfu3tlApWHy
School books, cell phone and charger, toiletries, some of my favorite pieces of jewelry and snacks I had hidden from Josh under my bed.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHaffw7aVm
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwtrJnNFg0
"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."360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ09yRDd9i1
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtokKnj9Pv8
"Wow...Thank you! That means a lot." I told her wholeheartedly.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk85gI3cFBH
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxZx6gDdXI
I'm going to miss this strange, humorless woman. 360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PurxLWt7a
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RSAbaC0vM
"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."360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1INViAAWQG
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtgIDelOve
"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?"360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfNhT4rMWl
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXjr5jYCag
"Oh...wow..uh."360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3nkzunuIN
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOd7UgtWOj
"We'll decide in the car." He chuckled and gave Angel a parting glance before exiting.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeOMzrU8kr
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaB3Rw5b3jI
"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."360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTO9cSLfndp
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXReggAmrO
"Thank you," I replied and without thinking tossed my arms around her. "For everything."360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHTb41wMwB
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj68FPscJk5
She stiffened a bit by the sudden display of affection, but let her arms cradle me in the embrace.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpJ078i9ws
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasi0vBWLRE
"Of course, Robbie. Let's get you down there."360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9VfOLSKTL
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcOXjLDBgb
The two of us headed down towards the front of the entrance where Mr. Williams waited in front of a sleek black Mercedes.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTEDlAbwcA
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVX3qoeuaQq
"Alright! I'll see you soon, Robbie. Take care and remember to call if you need me." Angel piped up from the side.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNKirywd7t
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4dBPAxYdI
"She'll be in great hands," Mr. Williams assured her warmly. "Ready to go Ms. Quinn?"360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTOV1UQBun
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnEndtMdLL
I nodded, swallowing the lump in my throat. "Yes, sir."360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhCI8oC0EN
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOSvb1Qr69
I stepped toward the open door and glanced back giving Angel a worried look. She just smiled back at me and nodded.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAgCNft6jR
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJGLdaR6jQ
"Ready?" Mr. Williams mused as he stepped into the drivers side360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kD5OxBrk1
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxrGBvRHrX
"Yes..."360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsplMxLfII
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6f7DDhc4g
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.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIcCvSSIbn
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVGPO7zvSN
_360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcelLVLtVgd
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTObe4Jo5E7
"We're here, Ms. Quinn."360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3VkOTxkGx
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3euugDdh1
My eyelids fluttered as Mr. Williams spoke. The car now parked along some secluded dark pathway surrounded by massive trees.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaHXxbVNm7
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9D8Zl8FnNA
"Where's the house?" I asked, peering out the dark window.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTqaOVVGg4
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSNQcCEZpc
"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."360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQUnAQweHl
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmJZIfWQrf
"Is she your wife?" I wondered.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveWIuEwZHW
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf08uGNimth
"She sure is. My ball and chain."360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEI77hf0Je3
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsHdfpVWS0
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.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVt9Vfbq77
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJg3qnjOvpM
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.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGroeAj5xO
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnIiyiJTlR
"Hello, Ms. Quinn!" She cheered as she caught sight of me. "I'm Mrs. Williams, but you're welcome to call me May."360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZGJXEUoY5
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGa1vCjuGd
I grinned back at her, relieved by her kindness. "It's a pleasure to meet you!"360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPc0XkME0p
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUeiN97ADm
"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.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyJpjWaLzg
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCfQB3A2D8
"Of course, love." She smiled down at him.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJHXardJq4
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkqKjSsYHb
The two of them embrace quickly and kiss one another with so much passion as if they wouldn't see each other again.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Q60R96faK
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DkjM6Eiaq
Watching them together really made me miss my parents. They were so in love.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oIgfMfr7t
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99LIau5kuF
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.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMDeiR2B1T
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6QtRjG0Vx
"Alright! Ready to finish this trip up?"May asked, pulling me from my thoughts.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOGMC2Yds5
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7GFKlGcJn
"Yes ma'am!" I replied and watched as Mr. Williams climbed into the jeep parked across from us.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJN5rPlEBI
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLO4tlOb8B
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.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQJP8XO8TH
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFxShnu0Nw
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.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIZUgVIwdH
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqa3p0nesL
"Just wait til you see this house." May mused from the front seat. "Have you ever seen a 3.8 million dollar mansion?"360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKKWvGxyjS
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MGBkKfP2q
My jaw fell open, "3.8 million dollars?"360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPec9wng9Ed
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRRsMxg2F4
She laughed loudly, "Mr. Wolfe is all about the riches."360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOh4iD9ZwD
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeOW2ggizN
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.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzpyk2DYBU
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2I6dRVTLx
Before us stood a home like nothing I could ever imagine. It's massive structure towered over the yard like a castle.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQb9lyE9r0n
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqac1NzPZD
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.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnRueQp67c
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtU2lOp5RL
"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."360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DKfuDUzGX
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQr7xSYBzs6
"He has his own bowling alley?" I gasped.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkTPTUiX5M
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSVX1Vp22T
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."360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfn2xxwOIuR
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSfODBosMH
"Does he have many people over?" I wondered as she came to my door.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mQGIfYwQ3
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWJ4LX8C77
"Not often," She shook her head and moved around me. "Mr. Wolfe is a man of...solitude."360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNRHewumsS
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3CQU4GwNt
"What kind of work does he do?" I pushed, hoping May would give up something.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdL1q6NEiW
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWtUtIPAFk
She averted her eyes, "Honestly, none of us know for sure. It's more of a need to know thing."360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lpGn2FkCl
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOPqZ4Ijcj
I nodded, laughing a bit. "Need to know." I repeated.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGwYDiEtu0
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjdgDSCX8S
"Now," May interjected and bumped the door shut with her hip. "Let me show you inside."360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxEv6CUJCq
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrmolCcwDB
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.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7mtYRFlVg
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsX0Q7ev1J
"This is the foyer." She stated as we stepped through the all glass front door.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YUZoB3lVA
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVygpyXyvE
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.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UMlbWaAuD
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSk6aMaLUT
Never would've guessed a lonely dude in his 20's lived here. 360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjlJttiM84
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gIU2qhXvB
"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?"360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIKQjtgack
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Jk3yjMxEh
"Like a wife?"May wondered, giving me a suspicious grin. "He's very single and very gorgeous."360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGCCot4emx
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfQfEUAcCD
I scoffed, "Mrs. Williams! You're married."360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuf5gemCZF
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mi5QdIMl0
"May," She corrected and chuckled. "Mrs. Williams is so old sounding."360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoc6mDxkaz
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmcJVTyoii
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.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuplHocFwQ
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocZGEIv8Ux
"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."360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoAwhbCshv
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjud7qpnYGF
"Does he have a lot of other people here?"360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHa6hm2RuT
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYxj851fR4
She shrugged," Mostly employees really."360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eHmFu1aTP
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9VsLAKF0p
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.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDaOq6iJX6
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaOGd2xKIV
"Go on." She nodded towards it and waited patiently.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHMnfCSdoZ
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLYttdo1MW
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.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrWK3QbIGt
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtEEHWKUVM
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.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEYFXj52hq
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21LdDvIhjE
"Does he like to read?" I wandered and let my fingers brush along the edges of the wood.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jFOvzgdO0
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfLEDENzDl
"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."360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4oQPFUIMn
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNNjDo9I8Z
"Hmm."360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPN8d2YR6N
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBIe57X1H1
"Anyways," May continued and sat the last bag down next to the others. "Check out your closet."360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdowFKuPFyi
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTggLD9cmW
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.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdnVV4YSaZ
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvK9NKZZ4b
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.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtMPfGKRRn
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJBReEInj2
"This is..."I started as I lifted up the strap of a Gucci purse.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxzTxDP0xj
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jIElBNN26
"Amazing?" May chirped, eyes lighting up with delight.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytsYelmkP5
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBm7CvGQat
I nodded and set it down, "I was going to say a little but much."360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2QyZVh6Cy
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAZhvozXAn
"You get used to it."360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1cPghoXlt
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhs9BnzWqHW
I highly doubt that. 360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05xf2Y4ByP
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjfxLmSNg5
"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.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHi2QqBvAj
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCp7TkNhD7
"Will Mr. Wolfe be present?"360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXUboFbbxz
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskAWQTXVul
She stopped, "He doesn't eat with anyone."360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpLmYdfHdT
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4D0m8L4mR3
"That's kind of sad." 360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXd5q6dUNjp
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLT57xDjJtD
She glanced back at me, "I suppose it is."360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvClAvh8wA0
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsIuWpH5rc
I watched May's back as she exited the room without another word.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzq8bQ7Yu7T
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpRfw9Sdaq
I was alone again. For the first time, I had nobody.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOPVrxCdT2
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpO0t2YVq2N
Just me.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPSDtHNRVJ
