"Robbie, I'd like you to meet Mr. Williams."233Please respect copyright.PENANAO5gCKplSeZ
233Please respect copyright.PENANAv37lquYArW
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.233Please respect copyright.PENANAZS1oDK7Snp
233Please respect copyright.PENANARoqo2tS5Jy
"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."233Please respect copyright.PENANASvKR3qiqXS
233Please respect copyright.PENANAPoW7HWHSDO
I stammered, "G-great."233Please respect copyright.PENANA9LeKQwGHh7
233Please respect copyright.PENANAK2VT03PGkv
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."233Please respect copyright.PENANA0HiN6dMDf0
233Please respect copyright.PENANAbimVEOw2g9
"Really!" I beamed.233Please respect copyright.PENANA1heYsOlpXF
233Please respect copyright.PENANAHuRU8pf0T4
School books, cell phone and charger, toiletries, some of my favorite pieces of jewelry and snacks I had hidden from Josh under my bed.233Please respect copyright.PENANAthnfZ9sTd4
233Please respect copyright.PENANAf5P9EMb5z5
"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."233Please respect copyright.PENANA3OMqKjMb8q
233Please respect copyright.PENANAF5Pwbz3Ija
"Wow...Thank you! That means a lot." I told her wholeheartedly.233Please respect copyright.PENANAmgzUBICpC1
233Please respect copyright.PENANAuUw6ns3HCO
I'm going to miss this strange, humorless woman. 233Please respect copyright.PENANAFIaNdGdFhC
233Please respect copyright.PENANANiBF1z1zXQ
"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."233Please respect copyright.PENANA9nh0eaNPFE
233Please respect copyright.PENANAyF73vDwH28
"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?"233Please respect copyright.PENANA2uOmArFkYE
233Please respect copyright.PENANAVQrmZmCSrn
"Oh...wow..uh."233Please respect copyright.PENANAc9ttVTeIv4
233Please respect copyright.PENANAm0ImAElZCZ
"We'll decide in the car." He chuckled and gave Angel a parting glance before exiting.233Please respect copyright.PENANAK9hd3uNmyZ
233Please respect copyright.PENANAaabF1g5Uoh
"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."233Please respect copyright.PENANAmvXbWtPpI4
233Please respect copyright.PENANAcKs6papCse
"Thank you," I replied and without thinking tossed my arms around her. "For everything."233Please respect copyright.PENANAmFepgmvJqH
233Please respect copyright.PENANA4wNuaca3d3
She stiffened a bit by the sudden display of affection, but let her arms cradle me in the embrace.233Please respect copyright.PENANAGDtyqgW6OE
233Please respect copyright.PENANA3OBLYk7o4W
"Of course, Robbie. Let's get you down there."233Please respect copyright.PENANAifSHyjwOq6
233Please respect copyright.PENANABSsjqCBEiw
The two of us headed down towards the front of the entrance where Mr. Williams waited in front of a sleek black Mercedes.233Please respect copyright.PENANAK0VfC4vvHs
233Please respect copyright.PENANAiV86XH7fqf
"Alright! I'll see you soon, Robbie. Take care and remember to call if you need me." Angel piped up from the side.233Please respect copyright.PENANAVWeJI2gLfl
233Please respect copyright.PENANAkMuMa9F6F1
"She'll be in great hands," Mr. Williams assured her warmly. "Ready to go Ms. Quinn?"233Please respect copyright.PENANAoCzjkekz42
233Please respect copyright.PENANAsw5cRbEzc5
I nodded, swallowing the lump in my throat. "Yes, sir."233Please respect copyright.PENANAqeY9qCDy3I
233Please respect copyright.PENANAJxJZSl9eBi
I stepped toward the open door and glanced back giving Angel a worried look. She just smiled back at me and nodded.233Please respect copyright.PENANAdOo37JUaSs
233Please respect copyright.PENANACbXUij2Rpd
"Ready?" Mr. Williams mused as he stepped into the drivers side233Please respect copyright.PENANAegaoy4DAKr
233Please respect copyright.PENANA9K8kyp1udw
"Yes..."233Please respect copyright.PENANARTYoKiYM9O
233Please respect copyright.PENANA8AfNqzdJXe
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.233Please respect copyright.PENANAAeHndZca1r
233Please respect copyright.PENANA2wcyZwZtQD
_233Please respect copyright.PENANAOznt6BQFJX
233Please respect copyright.PENANAq6ZlRC3z9s
"We're here, Ms. Quinn."233Please respect copyright.PENANARUJayPHlRi
233Please respect copyright.PENANAubkCL5NkCy
My eyelids fluttered as Mr. Williams spoke. The car now parked along some secluded dark pathway surrounded by massive trees.233Please respect copyright.PENANAEowl8KbKz9
233Please respect copyright.PENANAiOS8GoFFh9
"Where's the house?" I asked, peering out the dark window.233Please respect copyright.PENANAirCyVER6Hg
233Please respect copyright.PENANAE1OZtksoAJ
"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."233Please respect copyright.PENANA4WLIFpP6po
233Please respect copyright.PENANAtcOw35YDk1
"Is she your wife?" I wondered.233Please respect copyright.PENANA6uOeAhC2py
233Please respect copyright.PENANAOIlmdtYkpv
"She sure is. My ball and chain."233Please respect copyright.PENANAoVSCwkYleC
233Please respect copyright.PENANAsCz1qRlbRw
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.233Please respect copyright.PENANA9SJlY6Wqne
233Please respect copyright.PENANA0Zwjl3TbVk
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.233Please respect copyright.PENANAYTKcp3JBLP
233Please respect copyright.PENANAy484ZlWpND
"Hello, Ms. Quinn!" She cheered as she caught sight of me. "I'm Mrs. Williams, but you're welcome to call me May."233Please respect copyright.PENANAh6UWjdr0G6
233Please respect copyright.PENANADgfsu1rpEE
I grinned back at her, relieved by her kindness. "It's a pleasure to meet you!"233Please respect copyright.PENANAL1vGSDGtoj
233Please respect copyright.PENANA18MyYvTu0l
"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.233Please respect copyright.PENANA8f2kgF8lkh
233Please respect copyright.PENANAwpeenEN6dr
"Of course, love." She smiled down at him.233Please respect copyright.PENANAkdVx21krZ5
233Please respect copyright.PENANAkSADgA70Nj
The two of them embrace quickly and kiss one another with so much passion as if they wouldn't see each other again.233Please respect copyright.PENANAd3WS53VUTY
233Please respect copyright.PENANAvm7dBbpPxT
Watching them together really made me miss my parents. They were so in love.233Please respect copyright.PENANAK4pP2CEh7K
233Please respect copyright.PENANAa3AC29FiKW
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.233Please respect copyright.PENANArtja4bFh2H
233Please respect copyright.PENANAOgccMMDcG3
"Alright! Ready to finish this trip up?"May asked, pulling me from my thoughts.233Please respect copyright.PENANAabdpla3vYo
233Please respect copyright.PENANAUNbWQtls77
"Yes ma'am!" I replied and watched as Mr. Williams climbed into the jeep parked across from us.233Please respect copyright.PENANAuGFGzz7RZp
233Please respect copyright.PENANA4BqTKHLi9b
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.233Please respect copyright.PENANAUOx6hrQRdJ
233Please respect copyright.PENANApALBaxKTPa
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.233Please respect copyright.PENANAsKiX09mFQp
233Please respect copyright.PENANApMki3zmI2Z
"Just wait til you see this house." May mused from the front seat. "Have you ever seen a 3.8 million dollar mansion?"233Please respect copyright.PENANAbyYbrMmq4R
233Please respect copyright.PENANAqai0blnb74
My jaw fell open, "3.8 million dollars?"233Please respect copyright.PENANAr3hDPNnvuU
233Please respect copyright.PENANALgItsxctLx
She laughed loudly, "Mr. Wolfe is all about the riches."233Please respect copyright.PENANAPOoGQRZvgp
233Please respect copyright.PENANAyaj5Fd4Nnm
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.233Please respect copyright.PENANALOdkflCDKv
233Please respect copyright.PENANAD08ZhDxrjz
Before us stood a home like nothing I could ever imagine. It's massive structure towered over the yard like a castle.233Please respect copyright.PENANAsNbn0L6RD3
233Please respect copyright.PENANAg696jHOv1R
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.233Please respect copyright.PENANANAjzQiRU30
233Please respect copyright.PENANA9snGCgYaCT
"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."233Please respect copyright.PENANA4WDIG88nas
233Please respect copyright.PENANAd6T6DoitD5
"He has his own bowling alley?" I gasped.233Please respect copyright.PENANAj26TYbSfFg
233Please respect copyright.PENANA4CcRrFDCqR
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."233Please respect copyright.PENANAiMIBKCsRxh
233Please respect copyright.PENANAccdmoWKIQ1
"Does he have many people over?" I wondered as she came to my door.233Please respect copyright.PENANAYIQKbFPfGq
233Please respect copyright.PENANATFJzUzzIAa
"Not often," She shook her head and moved around me. "Mr. Wolfe is a man of...solitude."233Please respect copyright.PENANAPLLMQWS75S
233Please respect copyright.PENANAOg003V6k8M
"What kind of work does he do?" I pushed, hoping May would give up something.233Please respect copyright.PENANAC72LLT6NWL
233Please respect copyright.PENANATXqMPdTwVM
She averted her eyes, "Honestly, none of us know for sure. It's more of a need to know thing."233Please respect copyright.PENANAHpomHYkyEE
233Please respect copyright.PENANAWfMtiyfuZd
I nodded, laughing a bit. "Need to know." I repeated.233Please respect copyright.PENANA5yvXSDGpkD
233Please respect copyright.PENANAeSaXKVWoWc
"Now," May interjected and bumped the door shut with her hip. "Let me show you inside."233Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0foQl3Nvi
233Please respect copyright.PENANAofR2p6S63T
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.233Please respect copyright.PENANAoKyJvL2S9P
233Please respect copyright.PENANAJs9mJb9lTQ
"This is the foyer." She stated as we stepped through the all glass front door.233Please respect copyright.PENANAmLSZEXoYzu
233Please respect copyright.PENANAaf3BtaAz1b
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.233Please respect copyright.PENANAnY8sXSetAB
233Please respect copyright.PENANAlKYKVIdmSg
Never would've guessed a lonely dude in his 20's lived here. 233Please respect copyright.PENANAP4LP3UtBhN
233Please respect copyright.PENANA4HzEX2WdfN
"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?"233Please respect copyright.PENANA6EvimkLZS2
233Please respect copyright.PENANAHdZeBRCPFW
"Like a wife?"May wondered, giving me a suspicious grin. "He's very single and very gorgeous."233Please respect copyright.PENANAcH5OZQyF98
233Please respect copyright.PENANAxlQkKasjyi
I scoffed, "Mrs. Williams! You're married."233Please respect copyright.PENANAWoVmxPSj6P
233Please respect copyright.PENANAi8VTRHBk0r
"May," She corrected and chuckled. "Mrs. Williams is so old sounding."233Please respect copyright.PENANAF8KVPi9HND
233Please respect copyright.PENANAKt5lvIe00W
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.233Please respect copyright.PENANAef3YzvFRO2
233Please respect copyright.PENANAClcsfpYdpB
"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."233Please respect copyright.PENANA9NKDdyCpOL
233Please respect copyright.PENANA0fVtEKM96M
"Does he have a lot of other people here?"233Please respect copyright.PENANAwqx1z2pZul
233Please respect copyright.PENANA8u6CEpuVZC
She shrugged," Mostly employees really."233Please respect copyright.PENANAMFjZtdfZ7M
233Please respect copyright.PENANAUbKSdUoGnW
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.233Please respect copyright.PENANAUUn0biLZqC
233Please respect copyright.PENANALGdoXtOdWn
"Go on." She nodded towards it and waited patiently.233Please respect copyright.PENANART7SdCKRRd
233Please respect copyright.PENANA9xvbaW99j2
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.233Please respect copyright.PENANAqboNlepHPn
233Please respect copyright.PENANAXPa80k7ODp
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.233Please respect copyright.PENANAB978wp1Pg7
233Please respect copyright.PENANAd9jrPwmhQe
"Does he like to read?" I wandered and let my fingers brush along the edges of the wood.233Please respect copyright.PENANA38czIOCDSJ
233Please respect copyright.PENANADFmvX5q7bU
"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."233Please respect copyright.PENANAxL95nRGFDK
233Please respect copyright.PENANA6KRldpmPNv
"Hmm."233Please respect copyright.PENANARfdoHC1sba
233Please respect copyright.PENANAKsp09fkHAN
"Anyways," May continued and sat the last bag down next to the others. "Check out your closet."233Please respect copyright.PENANA4UKqAFzGtU
233Please respect copyright.PENANAf8pvRgQMRH
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.233Please respect copyright.PENANAbW9tVu3AiR
233Please respect copyright.PENANAULEMvg1tnC
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.233Please respect copyright.PENANAAPggVkWuQd
233Please respect copyright.PENANAhO5yQnGaed
"This is..."I started as I lifted up the strap of a Gucci purse.233Please respect copyright.PENANAstsofz9Iou
233Please respect copyright.PENANAebzjoBFiRe
"Amazing?" May chirped, eyes lighting up with delight.233Please respect copyright.PENANAcdqaJaJ2YW
233Please respect copyright.PENANA0NB3JPIgie
I nodded and set it down, "I was going to say a little but much."233Please respect copyright.PENANAfiZaaJ8LxN
233Please respect copyright.PENANAWcl9T6qFRT
"You get used to it."233Please respect copyright.PENANA51U8Mwsur3
233Please respect copyright.PENANAeukpb7FsB5
I highly doubt that. 233Please respect copyright.PENANAgEKfsYMAcP
233Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4qdDd7qgZ
"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.233Please respect copyright.PENANA9FQlsGJVkS
233Please respect copyright.PENANA2xUxIAPwcE
"Will Mr. Wolfe be present?"233Please respect copyright.PENANA1rJI0BvvEL
233Please respect copyright.PENANAOpwZC3h5LM
She stopped, "He doesn't eat with anyone."233Please respect copyright.PENANADZvhc9UUXo
233Please respect copyright.PENANAyqoUXiP6Xh
"That's kind of sad." 233Please respect copyright.PENANA9OhRGwgw8K
233Please respect copyright.PENANAWaFzzJra3i
She glanced back at me, "I suppose it is."233Please respect copyright.PENANAJHm9NzwiOF
233Please respect copyright.PENANAmVD4uwjq3K
I watched May's back as she exited the room without another word.233Please respect copyright.PENANATSJAdlB4tD
233Please respect copyright.PENANA8IxdiSl13d
I was alone again. For the first time, I had nobody.233Please respect copyright.PENANAt8cKsLoh36
233Please respect copyright.PENANAn2u8VCcAc6
Just me.233Please respect copyright.PENANAPIxI0aWiBW
233Please respect copyright.PENANATN3EFr5XQX
233Please respect copyright.PENANAzulHD7jfv6
