"Robbie, I'd like you to meet Mr. Williams."399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrshDeT7og
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dXD04yCPy
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.399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xh9RWJBoR
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fMMgDMPVb
"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."399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDUvGq1dqo
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlV1N7OQ78j
I stammered, "G-great."399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6FmJ8wtqD
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KkFIuJkhV
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."399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKMa381eZG
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuY2XwXYY7
"Really!" I beamed.399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IHMUcmaV4
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKYOtvn4gP
School books, cell phone and charger, toiletries, some of my favorite pieces of jewelry and snacks I had hidden from Josh under my bed.399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKXFslwZLJ
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mZQR5dy9n
"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."399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXoxfnu2lT
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIZf4vyEKG
"Wow...Thank you! That means a lot." I told her wholeheartedly.399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfE9NHkd7t
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpaSbtJ5f5
I'm going to miss this strange, humorless woman. 399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiY7skKTvV4
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wjBzoEb2D
"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."399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsfeMP9ISn
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcSOOdzVFC
"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?"399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSQqsJdogB
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1JvcOsU84
"Oh...wow..uh."399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgc7quc4Sg9
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncqcnBmrjE
"We'll decide in the car." He chuckled and gave Angel a parting glance before exiting.399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwZC7qYFUi
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocyDF2mVPJ
"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."399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5Qa3pciRq
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwn4Js05ymV
"Thank you," I replied and without thinking tossed my arms around her. "For everything."399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡif1B9AmS5f
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFdJPKK6eI
She stiffened a bit by the sudden display of affection, but let her arms cradle me in the embrace.399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TBudCELGR
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rSNUiR8n9
"Of course, Robbie. Let's get you down there."399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfjR2FirYr
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6NZSqbXrt
The two of us headed down towards the front of the entrance where Mr. Williams waited in front of a sleek black Mercedes.399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8rTns6HGQ
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDlfXuqsmw
"Alright! I'll see you soon, Robbie. Take care and remember to call if you need me." Angel piped up from the side.399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iP3VKoag8
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurpaPZD5D0
"She'll be in great hands," Mr. Williams assured her warmly. "Ready to go Ms. Quinn?"399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ909BgPZ11a
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLjiU7KEh9
I nodded, swallowing the lump in my throat. "Yes, sir."399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTlg2W2TXY
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNpqns7XIq
I stepped toward the open door and glanced back giving Angel a worried look. She just smiled back at me and nodded.399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTiMyMbALK
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KCZAZBmcf
"Ready?" Mr. Williams mused as he stepped into the drivers side399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCT2RpisHC
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhMegiKIKk
"Yes..."399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKu0zIgXQ5F
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8OSFOzV5A
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.399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwgo2mLAB1
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3shiJ09rI
_399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGXpJzmP3N
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthHe8iLLOa
"We're here, Ms. Quinn."399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfLcbAw0da
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbesarMLP4R
My eyelids fluttered as Mr. Williams spoke. The car now parked along some secluded dark pathway surrounded by massive trees.399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4OC7tMPsz
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrvCS8vo6O
"Where's the house?" I asked, peering out the dark window.399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8hrbftzgX
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAmTnXT0tT
"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."399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHN5vL6enN
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqq81BA6zZu
"Is she your wife?" I wondered.399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjx4AjZYpl0
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodwmGP2NvS
"She sure is. My ball and chain."399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfY7AkIL0m
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwnKRkFKrF
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.399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZv5Tc9e7a
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuHEJcrx47
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.399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jPV8nHAoq
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeWqaPqG6f
"Hello, Ms. Quinn!" She cheered as she caught sight of me. "I'm Mrs. Williams, but you're welcome to call me May."399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmRa2YMnvs
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWlk9toqBT
I grinned back at her, relieved by her kindness. "It's a pleasure to meet you!"399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIIaidLFzF
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRi3BjnPL1J
"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.399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58ZL1IVhGH
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLgnGAmMbi
"Of course, love." She smiled down at him.399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8kxEaoJcH
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVutL4KyfnH
The two of them embrace quickly and kiss one another with so much passion as if they wouldn't see each other again.399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XCg8KgpQr
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaGbc9iZaC
Watching them together really made me miss my parents. They were so in love.399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0s79sUbBgJ
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRbTXp1zaw
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.399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFYhxT9Rqq
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8KVGdUdMq
"Alright! Ready to finish this trip up?"May asked, pulling me from my thoughts.399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavSEcZ9uIV
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52QbjyaL4F
"Yes ma'am!" I replied and watched as Mr. Williams climbed into the jeep parked across from us.399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMG8FxIFnUe
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpih44qMqE
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.399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UVAPYoDcY
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqawDrj29v
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.399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJtgwVJWDx
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AJT5EhAw9
"Just wait til you see this house." May mused from the front seat. "Have you ever seen a 3.8 million dollar mansion?"399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi22IdB9OI4
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBXt8CTU8O
My jaw fell open, "3.8 million dollars?"399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9Dv2VAyve
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcarNIfzVQ
She laughed loudly, "Mr. Wolfe is all about the riches."399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkbSSzETYb
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xrpUSsd6H
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.399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡey58CwpEKD
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsgOLzw9tj
Before us stood a home like nothing I could ever imagine. It's massive structure towered over the yard like a castle.399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6gt8PAA1n
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqr8GDOqnX
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.399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERQMF3CiuJ
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcj3yIBPJ5A
"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."399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AkzKJaTXA
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZAYL8PoKJ
"He has his own bowling alley?" I gasped.399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28JGoR8zd0
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nR7NtQUlK
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."399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaLrnOAt9m
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOTnUOOCaj
"Does he have many people over?" I wondered as she came to my door.399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11aRX8xK0N
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmNiPzYi5W
"Not often," She shook her head and moved around me. "Mr. Wolfe is a man of...solitude."399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlOLQkRS24
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVNN2D2kau
"What kind of work does he do?" I pushed, hoping May would give up something.399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQhOZYVjGQ
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozIh09xmsX
She averted her eyes, "Honestly, none of us know for sure. It's more of a need to know thing."399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4bc97ZAPG
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8j7CVWM9e
I nodded, laughing a bit. "Need to know." I repeated.399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBKmgqw2R4
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmq6LbwbYH
"Now," May interjected and bumped the door shut with her hip. "Let me show you inside."399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgdeVGw467
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFOCKMXLOV
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.399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFT6RBQQedD
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPaHQmNt8Y
"This is the foyer." She stated as we stepped through the all glass front door.399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiVf7Qd3HZ
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0lmPhga5q
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.399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3XOASBicx
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSN2uVK4oz
Never would've guessed a lonely dude in his 20's lived here. 399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkUmD6FDSV
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZ3vsanLxP
"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?"399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ljwUwT0Jo
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQ9pgY18Wu
"Like a wife?"May wondered, giving me a suspicious grin. "He's very single and very gorgeous."399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RU22IQ5dN
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xJdiTNMQp
I scoffed, "Mrs. Williams! You're married."399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zL5dS7L7I
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZRYKOPi3y
"May," She corrected and chuckled. "Mrs. Williams is so old sounding."399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4c7MxDym0O
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz932UCdAPg
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.399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXNxp0nqhj
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4X3EGNj5I
"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."399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiEK37xHaU
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutTJB0Eg8y
"Does he have a lot of other people here?"399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjDmSCXSc1
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrz4ghoegBx
She shrugged," Mostly employees really."399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWL2iw32n19
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUikk8IbIdg
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.399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghCRl8ZkRG
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhV8jKLjmiV
"Go on." She nodded towards it and waited patiently.399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RX9SphTbu
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCivJVkWfyP
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.399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8HTgp0FJk
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjUdcjZq8b
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.399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDX5YnVR1hX
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXEv9ytoj4
"Does he like to read?" I wandered and let my fingers brush along the edges of the wood.399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHXy238P4V
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0zKWA2mqe
"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."399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ROO9DmYV5
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuEQvgXrWU
"Hmm."399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqlK4QAJTJ
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotkvIvpDQ4
"Anyways," May continued and sat the last bag down next to the others. "Check out your closet."399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lT0g27WUI
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLQoW0SVLp
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.399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQORiQbjdJ
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QQG49SpYR
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.399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSA4ns1LzQ
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjV2qoiyGvm
"This is..."I started as I lifted up the strap of a Gucci purse.399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5qf4pilaF
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsqJFSdYeO
"Amazing?" May chirped, eyes lighting up with delight.399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4Dk11Kr8L
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJoK2Qh97M
I nodded and set it down, "I was going to say a little but much."399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1qqx2dnax
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89pn2fGQwO
"You get used to it."399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPLGPRtjB0
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡue3YdSNfup
I highly doubt that. 399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9d4TLnuTXE
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4USZ5BzjSL
"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.399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2YNjFNgMf
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwUQzggpVa
"Will Mr. Wolfe be present?"399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2p8EjGLcdS
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eytVCVxL8
She stopped, "He doesn't eat with anyone."399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52IIJzOfa8
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCDruKGCZH
"That's kind of sad." 399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2v2Xzw6KKL
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7OsgxPFLN
She glanced back at me, "I suppose it is."399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9AMOFraje
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKJQW9Mg9z
I watched May's back as she exited the room without another word.399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmxrbViJQ5
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5IGwWhmAa
I was alone again. For the first time, I had nobody.399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoC6je97QBA
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hWNcbZR4b
Just me.399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLKRsbd0JR
