"Robbie, I'd like you to meet Mr. Williams."376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmziMl7C7VO
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSur2u1jyRy
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.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0U8nSZUXo
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4e7jCmVCoY
"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."376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZsW1R8Yu3
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuo2nJApDlr
I stammered, "G-great."376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOp2OMC8Dpn
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIRDOkXa0t
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."376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAubJlJkjfv
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKH712TvAR7
"Really!" I beamed.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsiw1AgbRu
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6MAmDEKXW
School books, cell phone and charger, toiletries, some of my favorite pieces of jewelry and snacks I had hidden from Josh under my bed.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmPMhrCogx
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNbK2SjRo8
"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."376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YONMfp6eJ
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJuo0mJ6O5
"Wow...Thank you! That means a lot." I told her wholeheartedly.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnvTR43Quy
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfwMHaIO8d
I'm going to miss this strange, humorless woman. 376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeEvcYEK9X
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6i3rz1yvT
"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."376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE01PJFDUX7
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSSmMCJX4B
"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?"376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGr0tmqW9n
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNeBTKCg3K
"Oh...wow..uh."376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZT57GtzJJ
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBRlAHHUKn
"We'll decide in the car." He chuckled and gave Angel a parting glance before exiting.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoM5jlGTuU
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioYcqChr3b
"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."376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IYqBENJOS
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeIiAZJIou
"Thank you," I replied and without thinking tossed my arms around her. "For everything."376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSirr9c8r0T
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArIWxvVP0X
She stiffened a bit by the sudden display of affection, but let her arms cradle me in the embrace.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCNK8hJ2bE
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfTn021xuZ
"Of course, Robbie. Let's get you down there."376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHJ9pW4cAa
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbt29wis3Fb
The two of us headed down towards the front of the entrance where Mr. Williams waited in front of a sleek black Mercedes.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltvKvrdJHN
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbujgbudMS8
"Alright! I'll see you soon, Robbie. Take care and remember to call if you need me." Angel piped up from the side.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9eOf7zHtB
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLrig7QkyX
"She'll be in great hands," Mr. Williams assured her warmly. "Ready to go Ms. Quinn?"376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqpUV5ddXR
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MPiENyqLj
I nodded, swallowing the lump in my throat. "Yes, sir."376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FRoGd1l0w
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIRlTXM1K8
I stepped toward the open door and glanced back giving Angel a worried look. She just smiled back at me and nodded.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSAjx8dNfe
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL89pvMC4Be
"Ready?" Mr. Williams mused as he stepped into the drivers side376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOIqiQmTxP
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ629D98Yq4W
"Yes..."376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOG4TemAwgF
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVD3qahxBWI
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.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbnnjqHoJg
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAWmoNiJo4
_376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLh4rlmMVS
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpONVuNPZHf
"We're here, Ms. Quinn."376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87L8kucKed
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8XGUOYPTM
My eyelids fluttered as Mr. Williams spoke. The car now parked along some secluded dark pathway surrounded by massive trees.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROoUMmCr5G
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZYzCgYm7y
"Where's the house?" I asked, peering out the dark window.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwrNzivQqA
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOYBsc9bEM
"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."376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eIuvU9QQU
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbTe4hTIhH
"Is she your wife?" I wondered.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctgGqihBUb
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiu9m6DBjC
"She sure is. My ball and chain."376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAobLfPGwx
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlWTnIXRKC
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.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGMa7e7NSO
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrv70MZoEZ1
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.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6cM8YvFjG
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66mkvKGAZS
"Hello, Ms. Quinn!" She cheered as she caught sight of me. "I'm Mrs. Williams, but you're welcome to call me May."376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7tsTj2KYh
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUIBrY9siy
I grinned back at her, relieved by her kindness. "It's a pleasure to meet you!"376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIax1E6PJB
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzE6SORMTu
"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.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQldSgGCEnu
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7TTHl3kv8
"Of course, love." She smiled down at him.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeGGEgn8If
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZnqv0T3Cs
The two of them embrace quickly and kiss one another with so much passion as if they wouldn't see each other again.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcedvAz4tjQ
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Dhj9915nR
Watching them together really made me miss my parents. They were so in love.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSnVueDiYV
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1OvXFGP9s
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.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWrkcd7hSH
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04M0adL6YH
"Alright! Ready to finish this trip up?"May asked, pulling me from my thoughts.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudx4iFrDuR
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlz6MKfykbK
"Yes ma'am!" I replied and watched as Mr. Williams climbed into the jeep parked across from us.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Mt8HzUT3f
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPuQw72O3N
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.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrs7IIPqSjR
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBR69kTN3l
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.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuY5qbXQTv
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqx05IcSYAb
"Just wait til you see this house." May mused from the front seat. "Have you ever seen a 3.8 million dollar mansion?"376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNE9CE6Ejm
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42Rm9lS6JB
My jaw fell open, "3.8 million dollars?"376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe58v4sN0g0
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14hD1eieDk
She laughed loudly, "Mr. Wolfe is all about the riches."376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrputSkASIR
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGQwshtWtc
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.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYP5LZxEIOf
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kCpd5RdKy
Before us stood a home like nothing I could ever imagine. It's massive structure towered over the yard like a castle.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnbyVTBdbY
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvyu8BIb6m
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.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXWNnZ9NRQ
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllj41VIjK9
"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."376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLKWOyQPJ1
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRFpb11nFE
"He has his own bowling alley?" I gasped.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjQ6PhV8UM
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJvU2RCRvQ
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."376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eiGwaeHhJ
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jFWnqRbtq
"Does he have many people over?" I wondered as she came to my door.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn02rAIb4eW
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6mEwBSa6L
"Not often," She shook her head and moved around me. "Mr. Wolfe is a man of...solitude."376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4MSyOjeRK
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDazktonLW6
"What kind of work does he do?" I pushed, hoping May would give up something.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElvzOwhjKg
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡju4QKbno16
She averted her eyes, "Honestly, none of us know for sure. It's more of a need to know thing."376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JkWJIxSxU
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASgwkbXnL4
I nodded, laughing a bit. "Need to know." I repeated.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rOxMxzUKJ
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhRkF39zbX
"Now," May interjected and bumped the door shut with her hip. "Let me show you inside."376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgDDDeWS3d
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTdel2AAES
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.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWAjrwFTCF
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrckb5FziU
"This is the foyer." She stated as we stepped through the all glass front door.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFtEfV7NC5
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kQ9JJ5Y1i
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.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbVdOvzBCG
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBHqYSfYzW
Never would've guessed a lonely dude in his 20's lived here. 376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoy2QnM9GFe
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZc2yvi91T
"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?"376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RBGqOLYcN
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOSqVvihMh
"Like a wife?"May wondered, giving me a suspicious grin. "He's very single and very gorgeous."376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdUwDRVdDu
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDScBtt9JG
I scoffed, "Mrs. Williams! You're married."376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNuivRMPjm
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwVPe9LKuE
"May," She corrected and chuckled. "Mrs. Williams is so old sounding."376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSP6H23s7jz
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKUsweQu0k
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.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhVoqbKIsl
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZ0vbVe7ho
"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."376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryo6iLueJ3
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVapiB15LQ
"Does he have a lot of other people here?"376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXoimVWwFF
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthRDB3qlRH
She shrugged," Mostly employees really."376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxV1Sho8cb
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76dIlkNKtO
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.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJ75F0BUkz
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtW06BA7qW4
"Go on." She nodded towards it and waited patiently.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTsqpB9spp
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9TuL8sDEJ
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.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQcsjfYS1Z
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhf3bIxLPR
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.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2lI9LWdlU
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiBDboXCUm
"Does he like to read?" I wandered and let my fingers brush along the edges of the wood.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJryJLqgper
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XNbHjJ5c0
"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."376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSDzXZQpZi
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRwMdnaWTA
"Hmm."376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqWruvCLvu
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtA8IXIlhOY
"Anyways," May continued and sat the last bag down next to the others. "Check out your closet."376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8EFZHnPGO
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BjbBG42C8
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.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlVjhNpf3e
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8p2UnZaz06
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.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4d9tzo5MU
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD00f7i71w6
"This is..."I started as I lifted up the strap of a Gucci purse.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqprwsiIEcb
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6ZeJmc27I
"Amazing?" May chirped, eyes lighting up with delight.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrb2rJBUAp5
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUtd5BQyaE
I nodded and set it down, "I was going to say a little but much."376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfXsBejtws
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHLSSKD3YF
"You get used to it."376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJ0Lh5mh4s
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekGsqUTHmF
I highly doubt that. 376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXOEoytRi8
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaD89UwUUGk
"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.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfH29DynoYn
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtop3oIY37
"Will Mr. Wolfe be present?"376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hK8oiu2fW
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBfoEIvV6C
She stopped, "He doesn't eat with anyone."376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzPn3LZfoB
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYzpE4ttDC
"That's kind of sad." 376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqA5DYpcQqT
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptubuxTMfC
She glanced back at me, "I suppose it is."376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRs8lB6Tye
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpwhHRiAPu
I watched May's back as she exited the room without another word.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsbeEClcKn
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXFiLnHe1O
I was alone again. For the first time, I had nobody.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9ET6Ahxsh
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9FH1FfzM9
Just me.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVm8PaFtyG9
