"Robbie, I'd like you to meet Mr. Williams."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7dJS60tdG
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Pr4AYJHuF
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHveaZfWj4
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpOzddBNI8
"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."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2zPLJBoo5
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡut0pR0tSwQ
I stammered, "G-great."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhA7WvUu7m
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMnHd7RUVT
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."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9x4PHOMTF6
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6UprFl6RA
"Really!" I beamed.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23CNtAS2Au
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSgWR45Wd6
School books, cell phone and charger, toiletries, some of my favorite pieces of jewelry and snacks I had hidden from Josh under my bed.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPjEliyLjc
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1itcKb42E
"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."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrQSqdhlX3
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ528tKUeIYM
"Wow...Thank you! That means a lot." I told her wholeheartedly.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcjH6F9rnX
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJARtW5bNEn
I'm going to miss this strange, humorless woman. 400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZC7iEXlTv
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1E6m4VmIu
"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."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGyaP3OrDS
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAcmUEOwIb
"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?"400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZHIUzVf3i
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRQjzm8P5m
"Oh...wow..uh."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRA2NrMF3Af
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJloedmPtjq
"We'll decide in the car." He chuckled and gave Angel a parting glance before exiting.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWhuGC8PRY
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RPqm7Tglz
"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."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzCRxIyLxy
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgfCY432eV
"Thank you," I replied and without thinking tossed my arms around her. "For everything."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yq7QyyOYf
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HzyUmM44X
She stiffened a bit by the sudden display of affection, but let her arms cradle me in the embrace.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOd44LjcU9
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQdGA0aIsN
"Of course, Robbie. Let's get you down there."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ATWaFvUmC
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHUCJGbSEc
The two of us headed down towards the front of the entrance where Mr. Williams waited in front of a sleek black Mercedes.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5xeXlV4H9
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91p3hLsjgx
"Alright! I'll see you soon, Robbie. Take care and remember to call if you need me." Angel piped up from the side.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MdDtKKwEF
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18qqMgq1aM
"She'll be in great hands," Mr. Williams assured her warmly. "Ready to go Ms. Quinn?"400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSrxpIcDVL
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycoFclCENX
I nodded, swallowing the lump in my throat. "Yes, sir."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0RDS8cA7t
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAQknBUn9s
I stepped toward the open door and glanced back giving Angel a worried look. She just smiled back at me and nodded.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3aRIoWkJC
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YCWF3yNPd
"Ready?" Mr. Williams mused as he stepped into the drivers side400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7k6Qbx8w8
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00hXeAATAE
"Yes..."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRflrW3ST7
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbaMwhqFX1
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSl6xjlFt1
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfePFUp0Eh
_400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCELn3v2Q10
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvcuoEnztO
"We're here, Ms. Quinn."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgXPYOGMxE
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAj1KdVfkH
My eyelids fluttered as Mr. Williams spoke. The car now parked along some secluded dark pathway surrounded by massive trees.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEpveoc2qi
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7Z1qmX08m
"Where's the house?" I asked, peering out the dark window.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9f0euO7noL
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMJ6qTAy4V
"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."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWBB5eFErP
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5aCUrEi3m
"Is she your wife?" I wondered.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmVNFmus1g
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYNxt3S1m0
"She sure is. My ball and chain."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡud0xhjIRVE
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnynNDVhF6
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveEtSL5fSa
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFL2pX2fJgk
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58p2MKzhcs
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfvhUutfVG
"Hello, Ms. Quinn!" She cheered as she caught sight of me. "I'm Mrs. Williams, but you're welcome to call me May."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZz0m5HebOv
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40ufmL7qus
I grinned back at her, relieved by her kindness. "It's a pleasure to meet you!"400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEnxnSmfGN
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6NvxCUFR6
"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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXn82WewlaO
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1AQNav0P2
"Of course, love." She smiled down at him.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYwMDxB0g7
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifWIOp3dDE
The two of them embrace quickly and kiss one another with so much passion as if they wouldn't see each other again.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvecZZn8iOt
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7qcgl2ZE2
Watching them together really made me miss my parents. They were so in love.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDByXS1GNw
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjB29tUcsmX
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdw71ORM7V
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mFlBQLBKv
"Alright! Ready to finish this trip up?"May asked, pulling me from my thoughts.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKi1RjmVRP
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0lfo99wdV
"Yes ma'am!" I replied and watched as Mr. Williams climbed into the jeep parked across from us.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQ8CGNVQQY
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo90xvWrTy9
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5c97JUyOO7
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqL2aO5zS8
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1aGZwkrO8
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBnuqwbjRj
"Just wait til you see this house." May mused from the front seat. "Have you ever seen a 3.8 million dollar mansion?"400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdZ1GbpXJ3
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vYzyWOcyr
My jaw fell open, "3.8 million dollars?"400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9r09YAtYw
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42DgEOPYhG
She laughed loudly, "Mr. Wolfe is all about the riches."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxsT1bFzud
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4NDlenF3j
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwAYIiEsNO
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoyGjPW4jU
Before us stood a home like nothing I could ever imagine. It's massive structure towered over the yard like a castle.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQ6OHJ2I83
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrJ5otfS1J
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDAsecZIzC
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6kBdopY6f
"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."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzyuMeEqkx
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFG8TTZVgj2
"He has his own bowling alley?" I gasped.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaKIc8M7ph
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQKTGdryCT
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."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopbUzt77li
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEdmVhz1Az
"Does he have many people over?" I wondered as she came to my door.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTODZQchBG
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNE9AOeHNe
"Not often," She shook her head and moved around me. "Mr. Wolfe is a man of...solitude."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0hiXnlqdY
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcNmak3qYW
"What kind of work does he do?" I pushed, hoping May would give up something.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0gCXCykT6
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBltDwklFck
She averted her eyes, "Honestly, none of us know for sure. It's more of a need to know thing."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OPfdAoxvs
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29FVimCulK
I nodded, laughing a bit. "Need to know." I repeated.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbexSL0vS9k
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIG7q8DfTX
"Now," May interjected and bumped the door shut with her hip. "Let me show you inside."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6wAlS5Qbj
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1waoE7jl8w
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjv3fTdQVzq
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWoUwsum4s
"This is the foyer." She stated as we stepped through the all glass front door.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKBUkWgkEJ
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIG8UyMICb
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxnTH6I2pI
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pgNWMJJF8
Never would've guessed a lonely dude in his 20's lived here. 400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemmMnmQk9H
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzgbYdnOz3
"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?"400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7y4mNW89n
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HxDIzzhxd
"Like a wife?"May wondered, giving me a suspicious grin. "He's very single and very gorgeous."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCxtQkYZ6E
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEHOs5JK2a
I scoffed, "Mrs. Williams! You're married."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKlP9lyDXh
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYBs8IjgdH
"May," She corrected and chuckled. "Mrs. Williams is so old sounding."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3u6fXFkDd
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOw6Bz7e4ED
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCEWXoI9ZQ
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgt7C3skzt
"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."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoiKmK4u5R
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUqjNpNDw7
"Does he have a lot of other people here?"400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWT6OjiE8M
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1jNUi2to9
She shrugged," Mostly employees really."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbwVcE7b4Z
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSy7Lfj32Q
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDzyDEXGHI
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqBqMcUlVq
"Go on." She nodded towards it and waited patiently.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYANfKt5wY4
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7bvgJ5wAI
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJ7dv5u3Y8
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLf4hQ8DotA
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFD2dOYEEX
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1vOYfL7E2
"Does he like to read?" I wandered and let my fingers brush along the edges of the wood.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewI5nxd84X
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuaY5YldEj
"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."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGbd3blm8x
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHp1IOe398
"Hmm."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWzlDdqFD2
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5Y8ZfHcK4
"Anyways," May continued and sat the last bag down next to the others. "Check out your closet."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSkdj1Qksx
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJv75RVJTR3
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQobFe34fH2
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngzJeB2Q72
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVJYRyf4Xc
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPLLpgrY4S
"This is..."I started as I lifted up the strap of a Gucci purse.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aq5arnsNX
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUd8k001c1M
"Amazing?" May chirped, eyes lighting up with delight.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDz1ssRoDVJ
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogRYaNxhWS
I nodded and set it down, "I was going to say a little but much."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HibvaZAqh
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1Wnj00NW9
"You get used to it."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTUxPQb26U
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqomRNpe2p
I highly doubt that. 400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdi2aSkbYeS
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFnNwBdpxb
"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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7fgGYHiXs
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwCwJxeU1X
"Will Mr. Wolfe be present?"400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlo5MAFSqYr
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHI9jFdOeOG
She stopped, "He doesn't eat with anyone."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lYxLicTzw
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZmDsWnukU
"That's kind of sad." 400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsP1pdrPk3o
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpOePLij34
She glanced back at me, "I suppose it is."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn5olSJWCP
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHs5d3fHvf
I watched May's back as she exited the room without another word.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSD4Jts5Os
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMUFNTaE8V
I was alone again. For the first time, I had nobody.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mgOjSLgdQ
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaKDoyyVg6
Just me.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYbkIUU9n8
