"Robbie, I'd like you to meet Mr. Williams."351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjueh89x2ei
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JSEXArY5o
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.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxlFY85QZ9
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kLHtM77cX
"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."351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RZpbn5fvk
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfLfTGvyX1
I stammered, "G-great."351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKpuP4FCHZ
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0lC7mDytC
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."351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlnQNn0tLq
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrm5kCpRVix
"Really!" I beamed.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxFCBIk9wt
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJVPDiTvRS
School books, cell phone and charger, toiletries, some of my favorite pieces of jewelry and snacks I had hidden from Josh under my bed.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbVqLQc25S
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7Q8JtIFFl
"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."351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYLTa6qO62
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtg7coEA3uE
"Wow...Thank you! That means a lot." I told her wholeheartedly.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdLq2SMX33
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4VLu8g4y3
I'm going to miss this strange, humorless woman. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbUV3tZyCp
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsGnci9x1V
"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."351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2AhNLHWpR
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ubx1mAUJJ
"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?"351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWGZcCfggC
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpn0SpIbAO
"Oh...wow..uh."351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfYDSlGs4h
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1IXtLB13U
"We'll decide in the car." He chuckled and gave Angel a parting glance before exiting.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMd1HE7JZb0
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCMPkNDLCf
"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."351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SxFnCyRHQ
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosJ8O2VuTN
"Thank you," I replied and without thinking tossed my arms around her. "For everything."351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDG6dzel2D
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblk9n6qwdv
She stiffened a bit by the sudden display of affection, but let her arms cradle me in the embrace.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldHvPXrLyF
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8g6N3Oza5q
"Of course, Robbie. Let's get you down there."351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCj4a9yZFs
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHbvA9m2kE
The two of us headed down towards the front of the entrance where Mr. Williams waited in front of a sleek black Mercedes.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUB2VoK6Vz
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAl04MVBo2V
"Alright! I'll see you soon, Robbie. Take care and remember to call if you need me." Angel piped up from the side.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12sjziKqyW
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEfTRaaVge
"She'll be in great hands," Mr. Williams assured her warmly. "Ready to go Ms. Quinn?"351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaSUzmZMok
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ukiK3hZQZ
I nodded, swallowing the lump in my throat. "Yes, sir."351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34aAklYbYe
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsKFraU3lg
I stepped toward the open door and glanced back giving Angel a worried look. She just smiled back at me and nodded.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8durzXf4ay
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqLLYtgV4l
"Ready?" Mr. Williams mused as he stepped into the drivers side351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6Ul6v5Q4O
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3V3pdY2de6
"Yes..."351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2loDBKd7RP
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELQM3FwvsV
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.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VsPLCQVxC
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxytgtOjJCj
_351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBjpySPrq0
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYbrZayxBk
"We're here, Ms. Quinn."351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJDuMNQT6j
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9TmPCpXf1
My eyelids fluttered as Mr. Williams spoke. The car now parked along some secluded dark pathway surrounded by massive trees.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ShFFAPEGI
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSONGlUtXh
"Where's the house?" I asked, peering out the dark window.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUcAX408kF
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicdaPaeImk
"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."351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyftvPuZi7B
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJdBaIWnfc
"Is she your wife?" I wondered.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlx0d8zkMeY
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTamj8FxVl9
"She sure is. My ball and chain."351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3gY8dLzHC
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHqTI95jGc
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.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6NFgaNfPD
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvkX7KrZQf
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.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74ntG9kJ9e
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9VXmAuqMc
"Hello, Ms. Quinn!" She cheered as she caught sight of me. "I'm Mrs. Williams, but you're welcome to call me May."351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6aT1b2wWD
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHWoGZYS5W
I grinned back at her, relieved by her kindness. "It's a pleasure to meet you!"351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8MbhJtA7T
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCWKLedLeP
"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.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvumz14DYRF
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2l1zmRGU6a
"Of course, love." She smiled down at him.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIc9TDQPiPD
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLX0nUxQnSp
The two of them embrace quickly and kiss one another with so much passion as if they wouldn't see each other again.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43E0z8P3Pf
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrh3Pwa9axK
Watching them together really made me miss my parents. They were so in love.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJXRg07fVb
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctzBuQJIIq
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.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPyWSPbfw5
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuWHcqY0AK
"Alright! Ready to finish this trip up?"May asked, pulling me from my thoughts.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZyeGucnPJ
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCUBdyMcSK
"Yes ma'am!" I replied and watched as Mr. Williams climbed into the jeep parked across from us.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaVzHuKgUL
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2wfsVQZhD
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.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhsTBLjGvW
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwOgA22IHa
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.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVnORCIXZ0
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQeFLVgjUe
"Just wait til you see this house." May mused from the front seat. "Have you ever seen a 3.8 million dollar mansion?"351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY415OgGCzx
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGBSpF7KqD
My jaw fell open, "3.8 million dollars?"351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2kxleQOnW
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9R0yBlwjfb
She laughed loudly, "Mr. Wolfe is all about the riches."351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sbyIJet6R
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeGLpLNUy2
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.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgjQjO3Igc
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxl5eD547c
Before us stood a home like nothing I could ever imagine. It's massive structure towered over the yard like a castle.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6ByqDBIdd
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4KtTgsL5i
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.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPV8l85tk0H
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmbcYw48vZ
"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."351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2CCFDRdnM
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRviJrV8OMT
"He has his own bowling alley?" I gasped.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Sa9cZO8lX
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGfJ4TSp30
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."351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBdEsxW5Mx
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5BADJ5lDS
"Does he have many people over?" I wondered as she came to my door.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡospuvxcL8u
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7b4H7TObZx
"Not often," She shook her head and moved around me. "Mr. Wolfe is a man of...solitude."351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZF0UsrtNB
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSimaImNM5
"What kind of work does he do?" I pushed, hoping May would give up something.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAF7jMaMVkk
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULR19FRL60
She averted her eyes, "Honestly, none of us know for sure. It's more of a need to know thing."351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNhbuKhhwm
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ON6yd2Bd0
I nodded, laughing a bit. "Need to know." I repeated.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2QkWYq5iL
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXmfwmowVR
"Now," May interjected and bumped the door shut with her hip. "Let me show you inside."351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiBrGfrbk9
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkblpXVNRK6
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.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlIQtsLuMS
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPALHrO7vu
"This is the foyer." She stated as we stepped through the all glass front door.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiq44d3fpH
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6L4ZjaE7Eg
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.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlqdqTEtxc
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CUvazfN3E
Never would've guessed a lonely dude in his 20's lived here. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPrUNevg1e
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7BACS9AvC
"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?"351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEB2hhinr5
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsm7m1dQv4L
"Like a wife?"May wondered, giving me a suspicious grin. "He's very single and very gorgeous."351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Qxl5dgXJX
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Cnxj0Mxso
I scoffed, "Mrs. Williams! You're married."351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMjBjiFzTL
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JNM08vCih
"May," She corrected and chuckled. "Mrs. Williams is so old sounding."351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC26UfJfwb0
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFhxkYhR58
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.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebaHuycXQ2
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjjsWB3NQg
"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."351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGIOPNNljb
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcAE7ATpFO
"Does he have a lot of other people here?"351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDVKGYzk8s
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiIovKNigk
She shrugged," Mostly employees really."351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqx46B2ZdNJ
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIdbVK8sNV
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.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PRFHjSZrV
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGajOUtd9uy
"Go on." She nodded towards it and waited patiently.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZYsRA7oei
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQAO3fOwiw
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.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4b89wsOGA
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6jWWRCvKN
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.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNnSty678C
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxl8tDKDFiz
"Does he like to read?" I wandered and let my fingers brush along the edges of the wood.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxMqtUa5oR
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8OX4hlBqg
"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."351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aJimuMlBU
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCal1VQIsse
"Hmm."351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBJDFezudj
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PJdnz5smi
"Anyways," May continued and sat the last bag down next to the others. "Check out your closet."351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHo213RQGH
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkY7PeH1LID
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.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhU41fgQnp
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWuspa8QaY
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.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBqMGVEAao
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWliKQgvPgJ
"This is..."I started as I lifted up the strap of a Gucci purse.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP78EPI9AZn
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37DPsT6K9B
"Amazing?" May chirped, eyes lighting up with delight.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqY4N9mc1N
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclMC70Sied
I nodded and set it down, "I was going to say a little but much."351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2eT8dY0mv
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHk18Q6Qiw
"You get used to it."351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmn2kfcjrqD
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIi62Lg2oU
I highly doubt that. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxljdapc0YX
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuFHoWnCkt
"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.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhn8aoiZUDa
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmO4a2n9FB
"Will Mr. Wolfe be present?"351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiJpHlIAqc
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oFe2HXsuF
She stopped, "He doesn't eat with anyone."351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwIEIuLgUB
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cq1Tm76Pr
"That's kind of sad." 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8wizXb6Ci
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquk4EBVJ65
She glanced back at me, "I suppose it is."351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMju9ujBltm
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZc6PgHx5E0
I watched May's back as she exited the room without another word.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKIfTLq0SW
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdhalUJSwZ
I was alone again. For the first time, I had nobody.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtJ7ihUZW0
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4omiwtLNY
Just me.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQCU0TSbdS
