"Robbie, I'd like you to meet Mr. Williams."238Please respect copyright.PENANAfIDyJR2qJk
238Please respect copyright.PENANAXNgDw32GdC
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.238Please respect copyright.PENANA5a71V8nfv5
238Please respect copyright.PENANAzCDMVXTxxW
"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."238Please respect copyright.PENANA8GBuxDZ4Tn
238Please respect copyright.PENANA85pqaXJTqk
I stammered, "G-great."238Please respect copyright.PENANAjH8QDcymxA
238Please respect copyright.PENANAxywnIeIU8n
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."238Please respect copyright.PENANAuPePNb6y66
238Please respect copyright.PENANA9CmstVFD8O
"Really!" I beamed.238Please respect copyright.PENANAC7qC6E0JQX
238Please respect copyright.PENANAxKY6rXBQ2H
School books, cell phone and charger, toiletries, some of my favorite pieces of jewelry and snacks I had hidden from Josh under my bed.238Please respect copyright.PENANADWIOrrn37o
238Please respect copyright.PENANAkklLJq79dT
"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."238Please respect copyright.PENANAlb9yzBuc9V
238Please respect copyright.PENANAQT7yC464YT
"Wow...Thank you! That means a lot." I told her wholeheartedly.238Please respect copyright.PENANAZs9ZvsoZms
238Please respect copyright.PENANA9ammQWmJh9
I'm going to miss this strange, humorless woman. 238Please respect copyright.PENANApWjKMZDUvg
238Please respect copyright.PENANAZBjx1gTkUj
"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."238Please respect copyright.PENANATWi0TN1vm6
238Please respect copyright.PENANA9DHw1lDFPn
"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?"238Please respect copyright.PENANAoEKXglD8Ou
238Please respect copyright.PENANARJI8gIe4tk
"Oh...wow..uh."238Please respect copyright.PENANAcoPMOJ8prK
238Please respect copyright.PENANAj1rfFjdYqG
"We'll decide in the car." He chuckled and gave Angel a parting glance before exiting.238Please respect copyright.PENANAwqRoTDCwvE
238Please respect copyright.PENANAnK4wxoWwla
"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."238Please respect copyright.PENANAqKXSxHT830
238Please respect copyright.PENANA9kxJBSy78u
"Thank you," I replied and without thinking tossed my arms around her. "For everything."238Please respect copyright.PENANAQxN2wKURVb
238Please respect copyright.PENANAPwrphM7R9e
She stiffened a bit by the sudden display of affection, but let her arms cradle me in the embrace.238Please respect copyright.PENANAYK4U8gk4e0
238Please respect copyright.PENANAsvj1LlEyHC
"Of course, Robbie. Let's get you down there."238Please respect copyright.PENANAf1nLixYwKQ
238Please respect copyright.PENANAAbb2ZclRFV
The two of us headed down towards the front of the entrance where Mr. Williams waited in front of a sleek black Mercedes.238Please respect copyright.PENANANZZZpF01wS
238Please respect copyright.PENANAH5DB7amDbT
"Alright! I'll see you soon, Robbie. Take care and remember to call if you need me." Angel piped up from the side.238Please respect copyright.PENANAtukW3LQdmw
238Please respect copyright.PENANAQTjaHHm7VN
"She'll be in great hands," Mr. Williams assured her warmly. "Ready to go Ms. Quinn?"238Please respect copyright.PENANAGFmvWHPzFD
238Please respect copyright.PENANAtNNverCppy
I nodded, swallowing the lump in my throat. "Yes, sir."238Please respect copyright.PENANAUT0iiY3Ylp
238Please respect copyright.PENANActc4pnRWXJ
I stepped toward the open door and glanced back giving Angel a worried look. She just smiled back at me and nodded.238Please respect copyright.PENANAOaoUjkKId7
238Please respect copyright.PENANAh9xsbf3fEk
"Ready?" Mr. Williams mused as he stepped into the drivers side238Please respect copyright.PENANAqlYJgPLTJN
238Please respect copyright.PENANAxL0HA2qM1w
"Yes..."238Please respect copyright.PENANAIQZkV5scCh
238Please respect copyright.PENANA23YYPaWaCE
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.238Please respect copyright.PENANAw1Enky3jkO
238Please respect copyright.PENANAWFZfhDQudA
_238Please respect copyright.PENANABwQsbdmvyp
238Please respect copyright.PENANAB3XsOF8x4A
"We're here, Ms. Quinn."238Please respect copyright.PENANAV4EzA7l46G
238Please respect copyright.PENANAizcwZJe0MG
My eyelids fluttered as Mr. Williams spoke. The car now parked along some secluded dark pathway surrounded by massive trees.238Please respect copyright.PENANAf66ZUog5Rv
238Please respect copyright.PENANA1K2YTHMN3S
"Where's the house?" I asked, peering out the dark window.238Please respect copyright.PENANAmHUSWKVVcp
238Please respect copyright.PENANAmpeVPc2vTd
"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."238Please respect copyright.PENANANg2tXSelN2
238Please respect copyright.PENANAYaHJNsR6fN
"Is she your wife?" I wondered.238Please respect copyright.PENANAHt9kA8sSmN
238Please respect copyright.PENANAF77bnESNH6
"She sure is. My ball and chain."238Please respect copyright.PENANAGVCet8MgUc
238Please respect copyright.PENANAvB2hwz27oo
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.238Please respect copyright.PENANAwoi4vd2z0n
238Please respect copyright.PENANAv02HCfAUcJ
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.238Please respect copyright.PENANA1Xt8YlgyJr
238Please respect copyright.PENANAnhkPaXSw8W
"Hello, Ms. Quinn!" She cheered as she caught sight of me. "I'm Mrs. Williams, but you're welcome to call me May."238Please respect copyright.PENANAoxFw0Xdcbg
238Please respect copyright.PENANAnMRAViOdsn
I grinned back at her, relieved by her kindness. "It's a pleasure to meet you!"238Please respect copyright.PENANAM1fSBqt5B1
238Please respect copyright.PENANAMPbKx5zH7i
"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.238Please respect copyright.PENANA84fMrmfi7D
238Please respect copyright.PENANAUPOaa1NdWm
"Of course, love." She smiled down at him.238Please respect copyright.PENANA9SWLUuzXdC
238Please respect copyright.PENANA6x73vygadW
The two of them embrace quickly and kiss one another with so much passion as if they wouldn't see each other again.238Please respect copyright.PENANA5Gly9h3Zhu
238Please respect copyright.PENANADReJv9uRsM
Watching them together really made me miss my parents. They were so in love.238Please respect copyright.PENANAbtgl99ToVl
238Please respect copyright.PENANA2AaCVGcyhB
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.238Please respect copyright.PENANAEF5ttI7hE9
238Please respect copyright.PENANAoR61X2qo1a
"Alright! Ready to finish this trip up?"May asked, pulling me from my thoughts.238Please respect copyright.PENANAOIVCYTGJyZ
238Please respect copyright.PENANAOnvLYGb3Yu
"Yes ma'am!" I replied and watched as Mr. Williams climbed into the jeep parked across from us.238Please respect copyright.PENANADs7i5DqsGZ
238Please respect copyright.PENANA887YVxB46i
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.238Please respect copyright.PENANAkxs4TmJCEX
238Please respect copyright.PENANAY58woqdfgZ
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.238Please respect copyright.PENANANkrqfRYHwB
238Please respect copyright.PENANAgSvovlrPGS
"Just wait til you see this house." May mused from the front seat. "Have you ever seen a 3.8 million dollar mansion?"238Please respect copyright.PENANADwQmO8T5LT
238Please respect copyright.PENANAnbKmzB5pQq
My jaw fell open, "3.8 million dollars?"238Please respect copyright.PENANA3cPJrPUUcY
238Please respect copyright.PENANA059mFoRcqr
She laughed loudly, "Mr. Wolfe is all about the riches."238Please respect copyright.PENANAAwkhJR3cYX
238Please respect copyright.PENANAuM3TYpvclj
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.238Please respect copyright.PENANAhHG2muJhXy
238Please respect copyright.PENANAJbwDPh1goG
Before us stood a home like nothing I could ever imagine. It's massive structure towered over the yard like a castle.238Please respect copyright.PENANA18G6ygXhNT
238Please respect copyright.PENANA8NbDxyTm6W
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.238Please respect copyright.PENANA2uyohFIEmN
238Please respect copyright.PENANAWnAm7ykCzE
"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."238Please respect copyright.PENANA8gkZDCwPYf
238Please respect copyright.PENANA9Z6bFeQHHU
"He has his own bowling alley?" I gasped.238Please respect copyright.PENANArtHGF5oZ5H
238Please respect copyright.PENANAs8mZta32vj
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."238Please respect copyright.PENANAYtl8xGjFax
238Please respect copyright.PENANAjkbtRTPkI6
"Does he have many people over?" I wondered as she came to my door.238Please respect copyright.PENANAY6uk7xpf3T
238Please respect copyright.PENANACeOerfsZDL
"Not often," She shook her head and moved around me. "Mr. Wolfe is a man of...solitude."238Please respect copyright.PENANAQYzg29Umxz
238Please respect copyright.PENANAHcuNfsZDBb
"What kind of work does he do?" I pushed, hoping May would give up something.238Please respect copyright.PENANA0iOquAnfhL
238Please respect copyright.PENANAbz2tgvpJhY
She averted her eyes, "Honestly, none of us know for sure. It's more of a need to know thing."238Please respect copyright.PENANAWNIuXbEfEP
238Please respect copyright.PENANA5y5jXZUz2T
I nodded, laughing a bit. "Need to know." I repeated.238Please respect copyright.PENANAe3N2ThYA94
238Please respect copyright.PENANA6QvqG7af2R
"Now," May interjected and bumped the door shut with her hip. "Let me show you inside."238Please respect copyright.PENANA8djIQz0Cp3
238Please respect copyright.PENANApeY231AaQc
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.238Please respect copyright.PENANAiwmOExj5VF
238Please respect copyright.PENANAmzYMeDsFff
"This is the foyer." She stated as we stepped through the all glass front door.238Please respect copyright.PENANABBz2ZB6xxM
238Please respect copyright.PENANAlLb8SJT2Lm
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.238Please respect copyright.PENANAyZUkQuDk9v
238Please respect copyright.PENANAfSi5PHzCdZ
Never would've guessed a lonely dude in his 20's lived here. 238Please respect copyright.PENANApVR9BnIKK5
238Please respect copyright.PENANAsRAiANu7cW
"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?"238Please respect copyright.PENANAY3VpAiJkzN
238Please respect copyright.PENANA94hZ6BEXFZ
"Like a wife?"May wondered, giving me a suspicious grin. "He's very single and very gorgeous."238Please respect copyright.PENANA9NeThl65aI
238Please respect copyright.PENANAiAgme6qx4S
I scoffed, "Mrs. Williams! You're married."238Please respect copyright.PENANAB7EIsPztUN
238Please respect copyright.PENANARdLplXiEXB
"May," She corrected and chuckled. "Mrs. Williams is so old sounding."238Please respect copyright.PENANAC5hpB397XJ
238Please respect copyright.PENANAqlzy0mEcFt
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.238Please respect copyright.PENANARS6W3b6Shl
238Please respect copyright.PENANA49OdGwU0dG
"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."238Please respect copyright.PENANARYuIZq2P94
238Please respect copyright.PENANAJDxWamMHOq
"Does he have a lot of other people here?"238Please respect copyright.PENANAKreaXSJr0S
238Please respect copyright.PENANAxsCfYH31d2
She shrugged," Mostly employees really."238Please respect copyright.PENANAToFtOQzIcs
238Please respect copyright.PENANAqBhRzuCCcc
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.238Please respect copyright.PENANAyQrQdEBime
238Please respect copyright.PENANAthJtzD8Lue
"Go on." She nodded towards it and waited patiently.238Please respect copyright.PENANAQCuiO3DO6B
238Please respect copyright.PENANAdfl7phPbZB
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.238Please respect copyright.PENANAHkGy0zNhF8
238Please respect copyright.PENANAbFDCuM3CWo
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.238Please respect copyright.PENANAScFLJ7SpUh
238Please respect copyright.PENANAAIvBncOqii
"Does he like to read?" I wandered and let my fingers brush along the edges of the wood.238Please respect copyright.PENANA83PB5tr1eH
238Please respect copyright.PENANAYKjMa4kNDa
"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."238Please respect copyright.PENANAuUd0jiITJx
238Please respect copyright.PENANA3bypI2FUdz
"Hmm."238Please respect copyright.PENANAN3OkJmEn2y
238Please respect copyright.PENANAcIBGUaxxgT
"Anyways," May continued and sat the last bag down next to the others. "Check out your closet."238Please respect copyright.PENANA3jmu4vzov6
238Please respect copyright.PENANAxX9jWeijRr
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.238Please respect copyright.PENANAETuc3J9QEf
238Please respect copyright.PENANAXWGZoXyW0K
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.238Please respect copyright.PENANAZrUloaegbx
238Please respect copyright.PENANAnf3qU9oqcJ
"This is..."I started as I lifted up the strap of a Gucci purse.238Please respect copyright.PENANANp0j3AzQpi
238Please respect copyright.PENANABR9nEV3rhi
"Amazing?" May chirped, eyes lighting up with delight.238Please respect copyright.PENANArLRljnt9Gv
238Please respect copyright.PENANACLmGFQqlF5
I nodded and set it down, "I was going to say a little but much."238Please respect copyright.PENANATcXgPizapa
238Please respect copyright.PENANAgLufJIjf8K
"You get used to it."238Please respect copyright.PENANACQb8mgzSwb
238Please respect copyright.PENANAVUmZKH3g80
I highly doubt that. 238Please respect copyright.PENANAQTNwh0wovL
238Please respect copyright.PENANAx9VGRmdP2l
"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.238Please respect copyright.PENANASfV1RoGNBa
238Please respect copyright.PENANAU3ZxYMSkqo
"Will Mr. Wolfe be present?"238Please respect copyright.PENANA23BhbQxhnF
238Please respect copyright.PENANANXaVlvDUIL
She stopped, "He doesn't eat with anyone."238Please respect copyright.PENANAdjfbP3n0Dn
238Please respect copyright.PENANAykE3D1rLDJ
"That's kind of sad." 238Please respect copyright.PENANAuC8leEjk8p
238Please respect copyright.PENANAkGHXVe0uT8
She glanced back at me, "I suppose it is."238Please respect copyright.PENANA3pW36yq3xN
238Please respect copyright.PENANAXuJrpW8prY
I watched May's back as she exited the room without another word.238Please respect copyright.PENANAGllxsXy9nB
238Please respect copyright.PENANAz8KU2ee55D
I was alone again. For the first time, I had nobody.238Please respect copyright.PENANAkao3NfDeD1
238Please respect copyright.PENANAXdvAY0v5lB
Just me.238Please respect copyright.PENANAYcl0a8f8gQ
238Please respect copyright.PENANAezFslosgzv
238Please respect copyright.PENANAOkMESbMa0j
