"Robbie, I'd like you to meet Mr. Williams."377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEhNRaNExv
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIbyGo8Jyc
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.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4KmVCSOnr
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8LfXHzGAu
"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."377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gZipBsRTj
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1b0Dg5hxB
I stammered, "G-great."377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡty2qfx4gww
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu51B7S1smG
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."377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrxGY9Twnj
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gW2p6JjRL
"Really!" I beamed.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi12lmTxh2B
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9y131QOZU
School books, cell phone and charger, toiletries, some of my favorite pieces of jewelry and snacks I had hidden from Josh under my bed.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUr3rWp5Zz
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6IAhZji30
"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."377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoECYBrfmuz
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUvytK6oGR
"Wow...Thank you! That means a lot." I told her wholeheartedly.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIKLXzv9aP
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAGIdvuy58
I'm going to miss this strange, humorless woman. 377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5ft7BQe6D
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycDlia2odX
"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."377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn79nxErulD
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yB0b2ur19
"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?"377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0hhIzfQMP
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqvrWqVqu7
"Oh...wow..uh."377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZ8NArG5Wq
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvp6jnjXjg
"We'll decide in the car." He chuckled and gave Angel a parting glance before exiting.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKRk6gznJD
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7PMk6aljk
"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."377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yIMFzP4b4
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsuv3T9qW2
"Thank you," I replied and without thinking tossed my arms around her. "For everything."377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUxjnRYCSI
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1it9EOoNQ
She stiffened a bit by the sudden display of affection, but let her arms cradle me in the embrace.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwupeTLKF7H
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNPHOGltA1
"Of course, Robbie. Let's get you down there."377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxPiT76neI
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXMcohzvMh
The two of us headed down towards the front of the entrance where Mr. Williams waited in front of a sleek black Mercedes.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpijege0KoU
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvVh6TGEy1
"Alright! I'll see you soon, Robbie. Take care and remember to call if you need me." Angel piped up from the side.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2P6a7iu9n
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3G97DXaisw
"She'll be in great hands," Mr. Williams assured her warmly. "Ready to go Ms. Quinn?"377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBAd17R3uK
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKyxqf5fh3
I nodded, swallowing the lump in my throat. "Yes, sir."377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZQttVQ5eo
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwQSXv3nMu
I stepped toward the open door and glanced back giving Angel a worried look. She just smiled back at me and nodded.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6uoQHnqCy
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYzy9FF7IQ
"Ready?" Mr. Williams mused as he stepped into the drivers side377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99CNp7OVqP
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfcmRqx9oj
"Yes..."377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWyvz8mkjw
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohcPCzIIbL
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.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXZdCc0Y91
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeQJtPcwk2
_377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0rrJyMnVS
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgcLF6k9xS
"We're here, Ms. Quinn."377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuj9uluM4uI
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Zo4CB7xv4
My eyelids fluttered as Mr. Williams spoke. The car now parked along some secluded dark pathway surrounded by massive trees.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sChUptOnn
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxDrEpDavV
"Where's the house?" I asked, peering out the dark window.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZm2FAfh7yy
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5mu0ctRwc
"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."377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3X0AuHjbPp
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXz49EuT12R
"Is she your wife?" I wondered.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaW5iAqzuL
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzhUPTVDhl
"She sure is. My ball and chain."377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uJwuRGTQ6
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiK2EQAYSw
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.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjDBu69wGs
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpQEzLfInI
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.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqixXP0JBCX
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYkh38wied
"Hello, Ms. Quinn!" She cheered as she caught sight of me. "I'm Mrs. Williams, but you're welcome to call me May."377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xc9hdOf16
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ojXURUqsw
I grinned back at her, relieved by her kindness. "It's a pleasure to meet you!"377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHfIgPrs1G
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdMiGhHvY5
"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.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnVUQT7zLL
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwkOe5xFJi
"Of course, love." She smiled down at him.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslbkyieQ6Z
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtU3jn3IWck
The two of them embrace quickly and kiss one another with so much passion as if they wouldn't see each other again.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJX3b1S6DW4
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKbgbfUN2U
Watching them together really made me miss my parents. They were so in love.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VJKj3Fm0Q
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJcHsauwXo
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.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63ZgYnDbYr
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0ptfiKsyv
"Alright! Ready to finish this trip up?"May asked, pulling me from my thoughts.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOPfWD8oCY
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6DLWnz35m
"Yes ma'am!" I replied and watched as Mr. Williams climbed into the jeep parked across from us.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOs1H3Af3BV
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLJdRA9p00
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.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy24Uef8Z9H
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqUrz6cuwQ
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.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLeQGseFE6
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRsikAYfEc
"Just wait til you see this house." May mused from the front seat. "Have you ever seen a 3.8 million dollar mansion?"377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yba7LtCga
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzsY0ac0Ns
My jaw fell open, "3.8 million dollars?"377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyN4fQOnx90
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCi7u2RPzTA
She laughed loudly, "Mr. Wolfe is all about the riches."377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscYNElXpA7
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwJriJ3GVe
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.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6dESTD8DJ
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDwx3Jzjr3
Before us stood a home like nothing I could ever imagine. It's massive structure towered over the yard like a castle.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq01qTQ5dth
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9qBkALlyD
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.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaMyddGgs8
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfJRAzS164
"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."377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbRcKlgip1
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BZ2ZIFwjj
"He has his own bowling alley?" I gasped.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡni2Uc8q79C
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIy6wvnoNQO
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."377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BS4BA5Vkv
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3giLYmTX2U
"Does he have many people over?" I wondered as she came to my door.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEB4Erq1bac
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7LKPuxld1
"Not often," She shook her head and moved around me. "Mr. Wolfe is a man of...solitude."377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1dgpyf5SW
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7n6pRYzK5Z
"What kind of work does he do?" I pushed, hoping May would give up something.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4jw2Qj5Me
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewXGQAcuRo
She averted her eyes, "Honestly, none of us know for sure. It's more of a need to know thing."377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0MCp5IEQ5
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBz2gTgN13c
I nodded, laughing a bit. "Need to know." I repeated.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEff8PuIwVI
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmEJrHx3yw
"Now," May interjected and bumped the door shut with her hip. "Let me show you inside."377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYr0YXwzRgm
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqpCFMDIS5
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.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9b0garOXMy
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfovegrVJc
"This is the foyer." She stated as we stepped through the all glass front door.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8z43ypXBk
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5NHLIFoIX
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.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMGIjyoe1r
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDMKKRkEAp
Never would've guessed a lonely dude in his 20's lived here. 377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJasvUm9E22
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUmasUeswY
"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?"377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHZdkD4abd
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdn7URHAZUu
"Like a wife?"May wondered, giving me a suspicious grin. "He's very single and very gorgeous."377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycQ388I4MS
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIgbC0Ded4
I scoffed, "Mrs. Williams! You're married."377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdrvhZxOdd
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgYyiA1tw4
"May," She corrected and chuckled. "Mrs. Williams is so old sounding."377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36ra2kiuHj
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvEEfyhy1A
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.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRzpyb8ZTM
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSftyWR8bT2
"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."377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIohP4hvxGg
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTb5hAU6KK
"Does he have a lot of other people here?"377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLnUcaUYrX
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hELuca5cm
She shrugged," Mostly employees really."377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡti8yYIJdvD
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kn5ZYFBiF
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.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44IPjmGz9g
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8d7bHIW51T
"Go on." She nodded towards it and waited patiently.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IggmFaOP6
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSY6WHWBQk
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.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8atxHzV2e
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT634r78Wa3
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.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkiC8FBdVh
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpm42Ithbw5
"Does he like to read?" I wandered and let my fingers brush along the edges of the wood.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gHLqOIlkp
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡon2nvhThFR
"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."377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XE29CWNoO
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBfVHhc2Vm
"Hmm."377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZENhWExBTK
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtkuCMOfgS
"Anyways," May continued and sat the last bag down next to the others. "Check out your closet."377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTEtHRUKym
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEGjzbrjGG
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.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrs2nrBe4XL
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWjjRPooEG
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.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeE1Vi5BIDe
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6boOHMaSuN
"This is..."I started as I lifted up the strap of a Gucci purse.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJvlEC8VaR
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlBAbytRhD
"Amazing?" May chirped, eyes lighting up with delight.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22jzFA2llx
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUkZkLS52r
I nodded and set it down, "I was going to say a little but much."377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwfaA4tJoS
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxAWwP6dK6
"You get used to it."377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3MSifDbI5
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvmi1ptHc8
I highly doubt that. 377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4qE8VnHLQ
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjj6mhj20UD
"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.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEPPWe6gvr
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQPTWbbt2u
"Will Mr. Wolfe be present?"377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2V2AvOxDE
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGKF3TO2tG
She stopped, "He doesn't eat with anyone."377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZf9hVfNP4w
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4aQvDNqk4
"That's kind of sad." 377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfX2qcSAN75
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjaGX0i5WI
She glanced back at me, "I suppose it is."377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9NprZBLkN
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6yR0hnwlk
I watched May's back as she exited the room without another word.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVCvLMlkkr
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxF4cVEYSg
I was alone again. For the first time, I had nobody.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RwfbCjxy6
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkYig7ZgtL
Just me.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGE848A8cLt
