"Robbie, I'd like you to meet Mr. Williams."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGi6jtiF6I
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGkfZ7zfIX
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.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKhsHoOfT2
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjolhHvGsAH
"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."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgrGjMvVTj
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyeYWQNf4J
I stammered, "G-great."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmh9IJhBPs
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBVwXD9LpJ
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."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAfIprWKmk
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwwWoyvqxT
"Really!" I beamed.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyK1pB6Rok
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXJlXXNy02
School books, cell phone and charger, toiletries, some of my favorite pieces of jewelry and snacks I had hidden from Josh under my bed.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS69f6hlYPL
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWgabzHVzz
"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."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqRVHar5cQ
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BTqLmmkXy
"Wow...Thank you! That means a lot." I told her wholeheartedly.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqz1QD2sZR6
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EfxSDaKmj
I'm going to miss this strange, humorless woman. 416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvMgkeVSF9
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPsYf3NGP6
"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."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4JSfg0KRz
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBH79pwpYn
"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?"416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiW00SyU3f
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpuI11UwGg
"Oh...wow..uh."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODM8SfjSp0
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKRHvcaOAD
"We'll decide in the car." He chuckled and gave Angel a parting glance before exiting.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVn7Ym9tRLU
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxI5o19Ayr
"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."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJZpevzZyC
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL70KFZUxkh
"Thank you," I replied and without thinking tossed my arms around her. "For everything."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaOqPBugbi
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFUndjrr22
She stiffened a bit by the sudden display of affection, but let her arms cradle me in the embrace.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepd2Zrk90m
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PtelGVrew
"Of course, Robbie. Let's get you down there."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKhBb9K4BT
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgRd6C6k38
The two of us headed down towards the front of the entrance where Mr. Williams waited in front of a sleek black Mercedes.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKFyDDQc2N
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eo7LxUmRz
"Alright! I'll see you soon, Robbie. Take care and remember to call if you need me." Angel piped up from the side.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkgvWnieWM
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVi5dklHCE7
"She'll be in great hands," Mr. Williams assured her warmly. "Ready to go Ms. Quinn?"416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHNt6oAu89
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76jbKGo1mr
I nodded, swallowing the lump in my throat. "Yes, sir."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWqmLZEtXI
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNhDCj59MS
I stepped toward the open door and glanced back giving Angel a worried look. She just smiled back at me and nodded.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIFAGUB60m
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoGqirBUvK
"Ready?" Mr. Williams mused as he stepped into the drivers side416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdsTCFw6a4
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjv7L0IwEqY
"Yes..."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0aln8hK7a
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoCtVa4Yl9
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.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkK8SQo3gTy
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZacFmojgQW
_416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBJ8QU8k77
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqKSuaDTJS
"We're here, Ms. Quinn."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjxW2PoXAV
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCob9JC4hYM
My eyelids fluttered as Mr. Williams spoke. The car now parked along some secluded dark pathway surrounded by massive trees.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDWJABPu50
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3bjriC6Z9
"Where's the house?" I asked, peering out the dark window.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jGKFmviAz
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUACJhzUMF9
"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."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFMW1vgKY8
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiXIvQYNlv
"Is she your wife?" I wondered.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FIBKL0234
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeVafJCQB0
"She sure is. My ball and chain."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3Q5kGyr3f
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36J1dYfNOG
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.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05RDefEoEx
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNX1GDekkNG
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.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCp7bdaTST
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1oJFcC1hE
"Hello, Ms. Quinn!" She cheered as she caught sight of me. "I'm Mrs. Williams, but you're welcome to call me May."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVHE6zqVxe
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJ4UbVfIEh
I grinned back at her, relieved by her kindness. "It's a pleasure to meet you!"416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4FIs7SRsG
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX64EhpvZ0g
"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.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrZTqLnYhR
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVGQTCD0sc
"Of course, love." She smiled down at him.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPhZqLpi1D
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzY9Skw7Qf
The two of them embrace quickly and kiss one another with so much passion as if they wouldn't see each other again.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UQwgMnkbj
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUfSowb1ER
Watching them together really made me miss my parents. They were so in love.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7p3UMGAxm
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BSSezIiVt
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.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Hho1x314F
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZv8r4FPJez
"Alright! Ready to finish this trip up?"May asked, pulling me from my thoughts.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYEQwmZsG7
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQipjVagIM
"Yes ma'am!" I replied and watched as Mr. Williams climbed into the jeep parked across from us.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjExRgbA8yk
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1BI8qCqki
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.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUK6jBF3jF
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5ZhV02rZR
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.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqA2vQkdN5
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDf1v48EAaz
"Just wait til you see this house." May mused from the front seat. "Have you ever seen a 3.8 million dollar mansion?"416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCKpu3FfF1
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MxJuZyoPE
My jaw fell open, "3.8 million dollars?"416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgb4GMHX6V
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PHombZY63
She laughed loudly, "Mr. Wolfe is all about the riches."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9sD8WE6mT
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWGTf6snYC
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.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZE5qZZXGSm
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPDBeC256Z
Before us stood a home like nothing I could ever imagine. It's massive structure towered over the yard like a castle.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8dzOHQVHi
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabI3EERd4N
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.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgmCH1Dctg
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYlZmyerqu
"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."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vXrzXDd0f
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGHJdGmpdr
"He has his own bowling alley?" I gasped.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWZ8Fnkaiy
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBpit2TGg7
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."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2n61FmPqFp
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNsfxLIHRa
"Does he have many people over?" I wondered as she came to my door.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1kDwXG6Wu
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMrLgfLPcq
"Not often," She shook her head and moved around me. "Mr. Wolfe is a man of...solitude."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UTgnEOAPt
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycqCmBjxup
"What kind of work does he do?" I pushed, hoping May would give up something.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLD0uYO2c0x
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNl4Zar27kH
She averted her eyes, "Honestly, none of us know for sure. It's more of a need to know thing."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBX8lAclnR
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtuNPUKThb
I nodded, laughing a bit. "Need to know." I repeated.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGVOOeXbSu
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcN5c6zRn4
"Now," May interjected and bumped the door shut with her hip. "Let me show you inside."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRrt10P9wq
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxwVu6kecU
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.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZIvRHxips
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLC8V6uK28E
"This is the foyer." She stated as we stepped through the all glass front door.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYVnK96UEI
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXP2xn305Qv
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.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfh8hzuVKIK
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8A5hewx3F
Never would've guessed a lonely dude in his 20's lived here. 416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIivJanxcWa
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZoLuiUv30
"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?"416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxS9QUUjTS
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSq08ZUz0A
"Like a wife?"May wondered, giving me a suspicious grin. "He's very single and very gorgeous."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1nf88wUnK
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCy1yz503m
I scoffed, "Mrs. Williams! You're married."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LClr6EExq
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mWDBJsC5O
"May," She corrected and chuckled. "Mrs. Williams is so old sounding."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGa5hwPE4vo
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8nHhbAlSg
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.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5gRqwqXUd
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6n4DnvaI8
"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."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVmrXHd4TW
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXrxc7wd0K
"Does he have a lot of other people here?"416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBRL0lYTGZ
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1B81J1v8J7
She shrugged," Mostly employees really."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLP05p1uHQ
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZez8ZA4YN
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.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjp1ZJQxjnF
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTDg4VdaKJ
"Go on." She nodded towards it and waited patiently.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomdUr3f4fN
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwHs7qF87K
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.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6PwIm7yNK
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFy6IRrROIM
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.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbQEKG3DYG
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8KJCKK4ts
"Does he like to read?" I wandered and let my fingers brush along the edges of the wood.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkKt3GkK1a
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvEdIARKGg
"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."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXtIFk9LLG
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqu0fpHofI
"Hmm."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHLRmU0MKu
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0m1z3UaZ4m
"Anyways," May continued and sat the last bag down next to the others. "Check out your closet."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4KAJ2ub2a
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyMMXShqkH
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.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMbOkScprq
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcutOTqvMJI
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.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8S71ElriTT
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxFFNepoTU
"This is..."I started as I lifted up the strap of a Gucci purse.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrD92n56wj
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3zOzDmkLW
"Amazing?" May chirped, eyes lighting up with delight.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4MqIDeRhI
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFiE3mymB2
I nodded and set it down, "I was going to say a little but much."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGKXySTDkw
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2d0HDN4O3W
"You get used to it."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGEMAnIWJA
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvE0IdiuVE
I highly doubt that. 416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEuyo6n31Z
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPkJy05Fnc
"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.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQTAvPLeOS
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWn5Eqmvuc
"Will Mr. Wolfe be present?"416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenFSNGKsLB
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUsZCvRZ5U
She stopped, "He doesn't eat with anyone."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJ5YEPnyjw
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAgzovohQ7
"That's kind of sad." 416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1dcIKhfZm
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBtSEvUI1f
She glanced back at me, "I suppose it is."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVSG4zhYh3
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8d0Idm1Ju
I watched May's back as she exited the room without another word.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjaS8T2lVo
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmN3pZMTfy
I was alone again. For the first time, I had nobody.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJPZbHrDNa
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPJCjJwO3n
Just me.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zuiQtKoVX
