"Good morning, Ms. Quinn."413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6OGrAGgnR
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOYEZhCvI8
I blinked rapidly as the curtains are so rudely drawn back again. Hot, blinding sun pours into my room once again.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrGRScnAK9
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8TpTzhjzB
"M-morning." I grumbled.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ES5QJebXy
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iUihduuKV
"Sorry about the rude awakening, Ms. Ramirez wanted to be sure you were up in time to eat and shower before she returns." 413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnkoCxtkKP
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCVU7y0BiB
I stared at the nurse, confused. "Returns? She's coming back today?"413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53rvBhr92g
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrgMwUzWxv
"Yes, she has to work to finish up here for the hospital."413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdmpJoZc2n
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WNqsuIacU
"She sure does." I mumbled lowly.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Z52xv2lUE
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CbeJX7sAo
The nurse chirped up, "She brought you some clean clothes. You can shower and ready for the day, if you want to place your order with the kitchen staff I'll bring your food in about 30 minutes."413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHT8U3dMmps
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprAVbaXqHS
"Thank you, that'd be nice."413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuy0lJjwYt9
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZbWZsfSiR
She gave me a small smile and jotted something down quickly before leaving me alone to find the strength to begin my day.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWsF2cS682
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkks5QptWBr
The contract laid on the table next to me. Sticking out like a sore thumb with the weight it held.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoc53YkCGur
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhVD8WKWyA
I had tried to read through the contract conditions last night but whatever pain medicine they had me on knocked me out fast.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21n1t4QLSz
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCajwmp22S
I pushed off the bed and let my feet adjust to the floor. Little tingles shot up through my body as my weight adjusted clumsily.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvE8idmNxgx
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSiIFPC59N
After I figured out how to walk again like a damn baby deer, I made my way to the shower and turned it on full blast.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMCkzagYXC
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NQlbYk62J
I still wasn't sure if this was actual reality or some weird sick nightmare.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZZmLVdZQm
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNK22caBDr
Josh being gone didn't feel possible. Why would he do something so idiotic?413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gPFfTuSlD
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQE1izqL5O
"You're so stupid, Josh." I whispered angrily. "You should be here so I can tell you that."413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUynGp9Jk2g
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2hcrKEjSH
Eventually, the hot water turned cold and I drug my depressed self from the shower and tugged a towel tightly around me.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgikqZy50I
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZvUCiLcI5
I stepped slowly in front of the mirror and reached out to wipe away the condensation.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrl4I0Xm3x9
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGES8F6fVC
Brown, doe eyes...thick ginger hair...scatters of brown freckles...pale skin.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2GaMgdYJq
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1Tz15461T
"Whew..." I breathed and grasped the counter. "Kept my face together."413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjExO1AZLXA
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgM3co9niw
Growing up, everyone always commented on the similarities I shared with my mother. Same long, thick ginger hair and big brown doe eyes. Every feature was so identical and she was so beautiful.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsh9W06jPp
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeY5fPof49c
When I got tired I'd spend hours counting her freckles scattered all over her cheeks or arms before falling asleep. I used to count the beautiful hues of orange and red in her hair as the sun danced on her locks.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbaONKULe3
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9AV9OhpFs
My fingers itched up towards the little heart locket resting on my neck.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvgZRHCjBG
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fcva5SG3K
"I miss you so much..." I muttered as I fingered the clasp. "I promise...I'll do everything I can to make you all proud of me."413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTWRZgDtPC
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLPcENjBCO
I brought the heart to my mouth and kissed it softly. The little picture of the four of us inside on Christmas day felt so cheesy at the time.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0we5S7iE8
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpK6IvLT0lV
Who would've known it was our last time together.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Q8Uy5OLuQ
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQXwbpbiYR
I hurried through the motions of combing out the tangles in my hair and tossing on the black tee and shorts Angel brought for me. Everything seemed to be moving in slow motion.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9Okzxduv2
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9Hm1sczGR
I wasn't sure what I was feeling anymore. Numb? Shocked?413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmYmhR3b6A
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9G8DhmRIh8
I walked out back towards the bed, grabbing the scary contract on my way.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxXs3CSCwP

I rolled my eyes and tossed the papers. "This guy has to be insane! They expect me to just sign away my life to some man I've never met."413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3SQiA5pfY
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64mNAVjpxN
"Not at all."413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcbTX8TTot
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NOeSA4JpM
I jumped as Angel's voice rang out through the room. She walked in and set her briefcase down on the chair. She was dressed in a tight blouse and jeans, still looking gorgeous as her blue eyes locked on me.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zL7In90Ds
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjj3krXFzo
"Sorry for frightening you," She smiled softly and set the tray she was carrying down. "Pancakes, sausage, eggs, and a huge glass of chocolate milk. You have good taste in breakfast foods."413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmgpSEcjGI
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiuNVmjaTh
"Thank you,"I replied and felt my mouth water at the sight. "This has always been a go-to meal for me."413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6zefXoDAF
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99Y2YJkR9V
"So..."Angel begun and moved to sit next to me. "Any thoughts?"413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8SvPldZFL
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStfOzcVTKd
I shrugged and shoved some egg into my mouth, "I don't know...all of it seems really weird and confusing. Plus, it doesn't seem to ever state what happens if I'm to break these terms or tell anyone of this contract."413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0UNgUHJjs
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDA40frkV43
"Robbie..."Angel sighed and raked her fingers through the ends of her ponytail. "I want to be very transparent with you. Mr. Wolfe is not a normal man. He is very successful and owns a lot of people and a lot of businesses. If you even get to meet him, I'll be very surprised. He's not just incredibly wealthy though, he's also extremely dangerous."413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELmChqMUQ6
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQ2z4bMx8e
"Sure," I rolled my eyes. "Does he kill people or something?" I snort.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVC3t5Npvk
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YK9FkmaWk
She doesn't laugh. This chick really has no sense of humor.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1LVZznzU0
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzdafvmmAV
"Shut up." I teased. "No he doesn't."413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfoUIryuBO
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HE4FNsozw
"Listen to me, Robbie. He has a lot of power and if you were to agree to his protection and care, you can not tell anyone about him. He will do anything he has to in order to protect his organization and his family."413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jYm1CJnfk
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzZGJWf4EZ
"H-he'd kill me? This is the man my brother was involved with?"413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZye5Y1FJM
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtHeM8GMbI
"Your brother wasn't just an acquaintance...he was sworn into this life with him." Angel responded.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdH5HE7XfA
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCktkDDISk
"And if I don't agree to his terms...I can just go on about my life?" I asked her and sat my fork down. "I can just go on without the worry of someone shooting me in the head."413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4uxPoW05P
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBoVf26vnm
Angel rolled her eyes," He's not going to just have a gun to your head. He's a professional and a business man. He's not going to threaten you unless you give him a reason, plus you are going to have some pretty scary men with you if you choose to ever leave his estate."413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywhxIwZgJY
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbA3eY5aEM
"How do YOU even know all of this?" I asked her, narrowing my eyes. "Did they suck you in as well?"413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxB5PRhQrYc
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYELj3aqF5
She chuckled, "Not exactly, but we did agree upon a business agreement in the past three weeks while you were sleeping. I have a lot of skills and Mr. Wolfe thinks I would be a great business asset for him."413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOojtOlWb1
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFyyySoeTx
"Well congratulations on the new job." 413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXFxl90Za4
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvN15UHIc7V
Angel ignored me,"Let's get serious here, Robbie. This needs to be signed before 12pm."413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioxrPFbHT6
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuT6Byg2KVd
"What happens after I sign it?" I challenged. "Where do I go?"413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLAJttnx6Y
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKVRAUnlFo
"Mr. Wolfe lives in Los Angeles, California. You'd be picked up this evening by Mr. Williams who works for the family directly and brought to the estate."413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9G1Q2urz9
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxTuYw3bJI
My mouth fell open, "I have to fucking move?"413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5iqb65VUP
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9UWOWkXHY
"Do you really think your landlord is going to let you stay where you are now? What about your friends?" Sheglared at me.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsPiXgh3V2
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ596AqUQcgJ
I've known this chick less than 24 hours and she's already ripping me a new one.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQO3MImwTc8
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMUrh4Uzbn
"I..I'm sure I can find someone." I lied and looked away. "It's weird to just leave my whole life here, especially when I'm set to graduate and I've never even been outside of Oregon."413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUJrNRQq7l
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfYH2LDpDN
"What a better time to start. A whole new beginning...new friends, new school, new start."413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJ4nB2kFN1
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIH9H0cLxx
"I have less than a month of school left, wouldn't that be pointless?" I groaned and pushed the tray from me. "Can't I just do online or something?"413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClfnAwcqbe
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡip9G2QBRp0
"Per the contract he would prefer you attend a private school nearby so you can have the graduation experience he wants you to have."413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvJLvna39n
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIQYQsNHw5
"How old is this guy? Fucking sixty or something?" I snorted. 413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOtmkYBpwM
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvF1WQyeMe
What if it's a set up? Maybe this is Jagger's plan to finish the job.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq38lHUEn3L
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPn2FgsaRm2
"He's twenty five, Robbie." Angel shook her head and reached for the contract. "What other questions do you have about this?"413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFVT7NSf0u
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5rM1763X3
"Here's what I know...Wolfe is dangerous, can't tell anyone or I'll die, I have til 12pm to decide, and I have to uproot everything from here." I listed off for her.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKF3D1qjrM
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uCzV5f4rj
Angel stared back, her blue eyes softening. "Let's be realistic here, what's holding you back from this?"413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoT2wxlkfM
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmONYjGM2vs
"I don't know him," I shrug and push further back into the hospital bed. "If I don't go, I'm left to try to survive alone. If I do go, I'm basically giving my entire life up to some man."413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZdybQ9JsU
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MrBHObAtq
"He's professional about this, Robbie. Like I said, the chance of you seeing him around often is slim."413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK773jkNGNI
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRClX0qIXd
"I suppose I don't have many options," I sighed and glance at the papers in her hands. "Will I still be in touch with you?"413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqMONZgq0Y
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnq5e5cHYPm
She nodded, smiling brightly. "I'll be keeping tabs frequently." 413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVpCAblz7L
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrN8XYTEHc
"Alright...alright. Give me a damn pen."413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeEE6xyRTl
