"Robbie, I'd like you to meet Mr. Williams."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXHoKt84st
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRD1g3akpJ3
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3tRHayTZI
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDGPBpIhFf
"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."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhAN6myVkR
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYKUnpM3V5
I stammered, "G-great."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zDm5I3N00
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01Edox5hmn
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."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtkmBtBNqk
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWFWA16pG2
"Really!" I beamed.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ntKCc5x1J
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWHUUGZcZz
School books, cell phone and charger, toiletries, some of my favorite pieces of jewelry and snacks I had hidden from Josh under my bed.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpX35K4pFup
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkfXBWr1Mu
"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."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sUfpNUakr
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ927R1EDawH
"Wow...Thank you! That means a lot." I told her wholeheartedly.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjE6ZjigQZE
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWY8A307EC
I'm going to miss this strange, humorless woman. 396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2v6ydc5sL
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEK2tOQTrLm
"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."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9W4CjaOWv8
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlriAHUG3tR
"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?"396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjo8uZTyut
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoorQ7Unh3v
"Oh...wow..uh."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlyH8SLp8f
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJd1yuXmGl
"We'll decide in the car." He chuckled and gave Angel a parting glance before exiting.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt75aakA56y
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudwBFFAvKI
"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."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6IfkGFTn1
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2DTPX2iXw
"Thank you," I replied and without thinking tossed my arms around her. "For everything."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehhqvT1ZqW
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZH4YoKgjw
She stiffened a bit by the sudden display of affection, but let her arms cradle me in the embrace.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34JSvWGAii
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIz1aSaLmII
"Of course, Robbie. Let's get you down there."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnvuDyolzm
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ozdjDtqk7
The two of us headed down towards the front of the entrance where Mr. Williams waited in front of a sleek black Mercedes.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOdRN4EE1M
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdy9tlcnoGU
"Alright! I'll see you soon, Robbie. Take care and remember to call if you need me." Angel piped up from the side.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDIqWiM2CO
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORCERlcVRz
"She'll be in great hands," Mr. Williams assured her warmly. "Ready to go Ms. Quinn?"396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfV70n3r9PD
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwzCpjrSKL
I nodded, swallowing the lump in my throat. "Yes, sir."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpV6gNjmZ8z
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yZR3jsetZ
I stepped toward the open door and glanced back giving Angel a worried look. She just smiled back at me and nodded.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5j80jGgZb
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJBUtkyL27
"Ready?" Mr. Williams mused as he stepped into the drivers side396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLo8toOqCic
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxhFzW7alv
"Yes..."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqGJjtIGi8
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHhC5gXYMq
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCUQLpP5BD
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHUkvRrjql
_396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslJdIXvtI6
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBU3zlVUlqG
"We're here, Ms. Quinn."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0KDNCwaMp
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLqYp3oQUJ
My eyelids fluttered as Mr. Williams spoke. The car now parked along some secluded dark pathway surrounded by massive trees.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvbQeVS8VV
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLjsEK9hSf
"Where's the house?" I asked, peering out the dark window.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhq3TYoSAds
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShJrJZSagw
"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."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡte6xlBrndd
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYpJUawFDn
"Is she your wife?" I wondered.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bPi51FTpV
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJqJyfG81C
"She sure is. My ball and chain."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20oAp5vMF6
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGo9KkYnyVg
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaau5F3zql
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntFWf4QpH0
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJo9cVzska
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0Fmj8GstQ
"Hello, Ms. Quinn!" She cheered as she caught sight of me. "I'm Mrs. Williams, but you're welcome to call me May."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqDNkKBNqd
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYukuYu31mT
I grinned back at her, relieved by her kindness. "It's a pleasure to meet you!"396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiZmJL6wFN
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdovtgkDRR
"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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcLBQd4sP7
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYecAVDLoy
"Of course, love." She smiled down at him.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZ1qUsbtLa
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPjQLAUXN7
The two of them embrace quickly and kiss one another with so much passion as if they wouldn't see each other again.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKbFeC0Ywc
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxO0KOaVMQ
Watching them together really made me miss my parents. They were so in love.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtao3LyBdj
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7K6PwtV1s
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgloROa1EoP
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHL3NdSfExH
"Alright! Ready to finish this trip up?"May asked, pulling me from my thoughts.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygUIQFl5Xk
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7vKwqnold
"Yes ma'am!" I replied and watched as Mr. Williams climbed into the jeep parked across from us.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiCzDfMGQz
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vS7neMG36
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcTQ0kINNr
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XQ4yanIGT
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mVag1C1fV
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdNWEyLcQn
"Just wait til you see this house." May mused from the front seat. "Have you ever seen a 3.8 million dollar mansion?"396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZOAVSVluU
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0Dv5GFPyL
My jaw fell open, "3.8 million dollars?"396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrk4DZ31w2
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeowW7uqkk
She laughed loudly, "Mr. Wolfe is all about the riches."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KPS5byQ1a
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMUDpZs6Fc
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYJ44wWlzr
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWC6qnJK9V
Before us stood a home like nothing I could ever imagine. It's massive structure towered over the yard like a castle.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7yBzPHuVI
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Fy8vp3uSJ
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd27v3aAGUf
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ydAfZCYdy
"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."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23oILRGtKk
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhehlh996UM
"He has his own bowling alley?" I gasped.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2aXPMTXzM
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVU3DPNNxb
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."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuLUCkRflG
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRl6gzCFD6
"Does he have many people over?" I wondered as she came to my door.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MgLfc0xzP
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwLseIxBQI
"Not often," She shook her head and moved around me. "Mr. Wolfe is a man of...solitude."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbPYTA9lSz
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAX88kdlTW
"What kind of work does he do?" I pushed, hoping May would give up something.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFF8CYX45ig
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAXvrh1Fln
She averted her eyes, "Honestly, none of us know for sure. It's more of a need to know thing."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgRfydWe0v
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnknoZqczm4
I nodded, laughing a bit. "Need to know." I repeated.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6i5l3tXoN
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYZMGS3pGC
"Now," May interjected and bumped the door shut with her hip. "Let me show you inside."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnRMKnAawF
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HYHgDQUn2
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2T1XSAuZd2
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFM5WfVe99
"This is the foyer." She stated as we stepped through the all glass front door.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2QAEEXbbK
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncj9HLbBRz
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wUxIzErrl
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfcuwr8zAT
Never would've guessed a lonely dude in his 20's lived here. 396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdHFkWC0mz
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCztZ80Iii
"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?"396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTvvmrb97i
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5lWzEmOBa
"Like a wife?"May wondered, giving me a suspicious grin. "He's very single and very gorgeous."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdY8Hau0RB8
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINzOUNSQF2
I scoffed, "Mrs. Williams! You're married."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnAmDBqiKS
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsA5qFJeszP
"May," She corrected and chuckled. "Mrs. Williams is so old sounding."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOwwkiOJAa
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFRFESG47h
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oRrLZbLNY
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClAYWvHk1Q
"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."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbeBfHsvih
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHFs7PBrix
"Does he have a lot of other people here?"396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJGdXoLr7E
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDc2GkA8o4s
She shrugged," Mostly employees really."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRj4FgiDCWf
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OcNV6khCb
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4cGszvJkV
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuL2TUOCQI
"Go on." She nodded towards it and waited patiently.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRniKkv97Pk
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIA6p2NfMsU
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74y5dzUEmB
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fz05SJHP4
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxlEtnK0yW
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpkACxrxuT
"Does he like to read?" I wandered and let my fingers brush along the edges of the wood.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXgvBtWPAf
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjWeLc5HMq
"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."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaPuarlq4M
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCDPcGO8Vg
"Hmm."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSE0jlw06g
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19ptAWPJFw
"Anyways," May continued and sat the last bag down next to the others. "Check out your closet."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJId1JkU8jS
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpokmbCoh0
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNi3mJQlMj
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxM5bCR8mkO
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5PPzxe6qj
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgU7kTQgjy
"This is..."I started as I lifted up the strap of a Gucci purse.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVLTzLiRNX
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvVAH5uvrC
"Amazing?" May chirped, eyes lighting up with delight.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNm5s9j88J
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEz3NOGnDYC
I nodded and set it down, "I was going to say a little but much."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSbw4Ia9YL
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxX3uE3N3gf
"You get used to it."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjya0E8nGp
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvWLqJYczZ
I highly doubt that. 396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYjPygBlCI
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78WqqKfloW
"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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHpI1Ukwrx
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoVJtbfSm3
"Will Mr. Wolfe be present?"396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHHUgkrymC
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fblFvptxu
She stopped, "He doesn't eat with anyone."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapEmFPItrZ
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7HIttTTGC
"That's kind of sad." 396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxa3ZH1tTtw
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtw2gplCqh
She glanced back at me, "I suppose it is."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtTmgNMZfZ
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3DXXIjANX
I watched May's back as she exited the room without another word.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsH2rqOXFk
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBudHpislAN
I was alone again. For the first time, I had nobody.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkX4lKLJNcp
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslYuhzwvZI
Just me.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawRhOKy13k
