"Robbie, I'd like you to meet Mr. Williams."246Please respect copyright.PENANAxWD4US2xjY
246Please respect copyright.PENANAryuoOz1Ow0
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.246Please respect copyright.PENANALzsqfQB1AM
246Please respect copyright.PENANALX3Rl31CTv
"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."246Please respect copyright.PENANA1S0S7XxNNt
246Please respect copyright.PENANAVlCgsrlJnk
I stammered, "G-great."246Please respect copyright.PENANA4zXQa4htxq
246Please respect copyright.PENANATrz7ZN7iir
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."246Please respect copyright.PENANAvoD4wXlzLB
246Please respect copyright.PENANAEOt1BmOV0l
"Really!" I beamed.246Please respect copyright.PENANAZeWL4Xusha
246Please respect copyright.PENANABshFGst0K6
School books, cell phone and charger, toiletries, some of my favorite pieces of jewelry and snacks I had hidden from Josh under my bed.246Please respect copyright.PENANAOy0sKiF1Od
246Please respect copyright.PENANAj5NfY5Uldz
"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."246Please respect copyright.PENANAD2Y5XBAugB
246Please respect copyright.PENANA226usNmvR3
"Wow...Thank you! That means a lot." I told her wholeheartedly.246Please respect copyright.PENANA2vPlvuxdlK
246Please respect copyright.PENANAi3FOvDrcDL
I'm going to miss this strange, humorless woman. 246Please respect copyright.PENANAUFgG1np9Yj
246Please respect copyright.PENANAa2bz7kMM1F
"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."246Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7BNRSiU51
246Please respect copyright.PENANAClNCN43pKR
"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?"246Please respect copyright.PENANAeVpTCje25b
246Please respect copyright.PENANAfIQnk7vzW7
"Oh...wow..uh."246Please respect copyright.PENANAtq9qZ1YVOj
246Please respect copyright.PENANApP8IDvkvXa
"We'll decide in the car." He chuckled and gave Angel a parting glance before exiting.246Please respect copyright.PENANAukHOIOG6bE
246Please respect copyright.PENANAdXo01Bd1QG
"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."246Please respect copyright.PENANAMMEwWj68AE
246Please respect copyright.PENANAJDCsilu2aJ
"Thank you," I replied and without thinking tossed my arms around her. "For everything."246Please respect copyright.PENANAT6VGtfiAJZ
246Please respect copyright.PENANAWHUdmeJLmh
She stiffened a bit by the sudden display of affection, but let her arms cradle me in the embrace.246Please respect copyright.PENANAKAKm2u4iGq
246Please respect copyright.PENANATFuWyYVzaR
"Of course, Robbie. Let's get you down there."246Please respect copyright.PENANAridU77CHO7
246Please respect copyright.PENANApyYgCCftly
The two of us headed down towards the front of the entrance where Mr. Williams waited in front of a sleek black Mercedes.246Please respect copyright.PENANAp18JdsT3nY
246Please respect copyright.PENANAImS6NgBMoN
"Alright! I'll see you soon, Robbie. Take care and remember to call if you need me." Angel piped up from the side.246Please respect copyright.PENANAHz0ZRZJ7wS
246Please respect copyright.PENANAQYWb3wUnOP
"She'll be in great hands," Mr. Williams assured her warmly. "Ready to go Ms. Quinn?"246Please respect copyright.PENANAvBRD0CCILJ
246Please respect copyright.PENANATfE3gI8S6V
I nodded, swallowing the lump in my throat. "Yes, sir."246Please respect copyright.PENANAAbfsrtbLSE
246Please respect copyright.PENANAkoqrAAWDMM
I stepped toward the open door and glanced back giving Angel a worried look. She just smiled back at me and nodded.246Please respect copyright.PENANA3BepHWJem2
246Please respect copyright.PENANAxMw4T6b65m
"Ready?" Mr. Williams mused as he stepped into the drivers side246Please respect copyright.PENANAc3xEU0oKC9
246Please respect copyright.PENANAARGZ8ZhiV4
"Yes..."246Please respect copyright.PENANA3CK8I2hSjJ
246Please respect copyright.PENANAnV79ClcN44
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.246Please respect copyright.PENANAu2iQlDIdDZ
246Please respect copyright.PENANAt74o9YD3IT
_246Please respect copyright.PENANAwTzVqyG7XH
246Please respect copyright.PENANAQjdt30Q76j
"We're here, Ms. Quinn."246Please respect copyright.PENANAkJSWHoCXXx
246Please respect copyright.PENANAj1ivOy6jry
My eyelids fluttered as Mr. Williams spoke. The car now parked along some secluded dark pathway surrounded by massive trees.246Please respect copyright.PENANAWutGNe60wU
246Please respect copyright.PENANA1W4sSRnZST
"Where's the house?" I asked, peering out the dark window.246Please respect copyright.PENANAzQMAi0QnIW
246Please respect copyright.PENANACAsbIEKcCw
"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."246Please respect copyright.PENANAgEyGnqZOPO
246Please respect copyright.PENANA5gpQjabLb4
"Is she your wife?" I wondered.246Please respect copyright.PENANAfGxpmnC4II
246Please respect copyright.PENANAaY0h0zmjFN
"She sure is. My ball and chain."246Please respect copyright.PENANAAz7FAPZHzy
246Please respect copyright.PENANAJMmjfilV3O
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.246Please respect copyright.PENANAAk1ZBIGNAd
246Please respect copyright.PENANAZn7PPn8zTi
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.246Please respect copyright.PENANA11E73bBfyp
246Please respect copyright.PENANAtuf3jhsLE4
"Hello, Ms. Quinn!" She cheered as she caught sight of me. "I'm Mrs. Williams, but you're welcome to call me May."246Please respect copyright.PENANAN7tZj2afAh
246Please respect copyright.PENANAXxz8yps7ye
I grinned back at her, relieved by her kindness. "It's a pleasure to meet you!"246Please respect copyright.PENANAqbPSYN2RW5
246Please respect copyright.PENANALfylEvnelC
"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.246Please respect copyright.PENANA8r7fDXwxjG
246Please respect copyright.PENANAEqKNSViCjf
"Of course, love." She smiled down at him.246Please respect copyright.PENANAA2X13Mumn7
246Please respect copyright.PENANAPV3OWjIprA
The two of them embrace quickly and kiss one another with so much passion as if they wouldn't see each other again.246Please respect copyright.PENANAwLJC9UQnRh
246Please respect copyright.PENANAEiQqfkmiX9
Watching them together really made me miss my parents. They were so in love.246Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9KGg9FHk8
246Please respect copyright.PENANA50s3qR4Cxo
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.246Please respect copyright.PENANA6uEGjfMJ2B
246Please respect copyright.PENANAhzAS6lXm3i
"Alright! Ready to finish this trip up?"May asked, pulling me from my thoughts.246Please respect copyright.PENANAmWYCQ68MAf
246Please respect copyright.PENANAfNlA9JmVQH
"Yes ma'am!" I replied and watched as Mr. Williams climbed into the jeep parked across from us.246Please respect copyright.PENANApc2d2YQurZ
246Please respect copyright.PENANAIhp6c2xCRy
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.246Please respect copyright.PENANA8IzwpvhGrX
246Please respect copyright.PENANAif2bxSr6Nv
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.246Please respect copyright.PENANAsmGuUJhKjY
246Please respect copyright.PENANAGeTB7MLYtO
"Just wait til you see this house." May mused from the front seat. "Have you ever seen a 3.8 million dollar mansion?"246Please respect copyright.PENANAfYCJSJFOuJ
246Please respect copyright.PENANAxFCTL6MvtI
My jaw fell open, "3.8 million dollars?"246Please respect copyright.PENANAmEpHowkKH3
246Please respect copyright.PENANAem6OX3bMbA
She laughed loudly, "Mr. Wolfe is all about the riches."246Please respect copyright.PENANA8lSdII7Dwt
246Please respect copyright.PENANAvNTdV4zuux
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.246Please respect copyright.PENANA3dmQvMOXby
246Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5ydp8du0C
Before us stood a home like nothing I could ever imagine. It's massive structure towered over the yard like a castle.246Please respect copyright.PENANAbrVpgGXDUX
246Please respect copyright.PENANAz7U0jJCMBH
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.246Please respect copyright.PENANAcX1yU5HlIs
246Please respect copyright.PENANAm50s4sksLr
"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."246Please respect copyright.PENANAiOGu50CcW4
246Please respect copyright.PENANAKlsnrufpfd
"He has his own bowling alley?" I gasped.246Please respect copyright.PENANAQekpHYW7IC
246Please respect copyright.PENANAcdDMNpW47R
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."246Please respect copyright.PENANAX8UdkEyX13
246Please respect copyright.PENANASDAHd4uyV9
"Does he have many people over?" I wondered as she came to my door.246Please respect copyright.PENANAGY5qSPBCk5
246Please respect copyright.PENANArYsIH3JwuE
"Not often," She shook her head and moved around me. "Mr. Wolfe is a man of...solitude."246Please respect copyright.PENANAswFzM7kqfc
246Please respect copyright.PENANATWCus0MLLk
"What kind of work does he do?" I pushed, hoping May would give up something.246Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8b3uTxvwb
246Please respect copyright.PENANAPnALIIOJXl
She averted her eyes, "Honestly, none of us know for sure. It's more of a need to know thing."246Please respect copyright.PENANA1ITKqckTLC
246Please respect copyright.PENANAvsQFt8MrdF
I nodded, laughing a bit. "Need to know." I repeated.246Please respect copyright.PENANA1FmWFZ4WHw
246Please respect copyright.PENANAuhtvDKOu3X
"Now," May interjected and bumped the door shut with her hip. "Let me show you inside."246Please respect copyright.PENANAtFJ612lVBI
246Please respect copyright.PENANAygDdjhw9kf
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.246Please respect copyright.PENANAzYpc4s4LHo
246Please respect copyright.PENANAxqpX5rVBtr
"This is the foyer." She stated as we stepped through the all glass front door.246Please respect copyright.PENANAsEjSOkshwD
246Please respect copyright.PENANAkAQJ2tTzXR
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.246Please respect copyright.PENANA2aNxpSAyiQ
246Please respect copyright.PENANAAvlUmJZewO
Never would've guessed a lonely dude in his 20's lived here. 246Please respect copyright.PENANAHYPiqMZ9kH
246Please respect copyright.PENANAqqMA2qqsjr
"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?"246Please respect copyright.PENANA8wFGxf2Bov
246Please respect copyright.PENANAY5JQfB06kA
"Like a wife?"May wondered, giving me a suspicious grin. "He's very single and very gorgeous."246Please respect copyright.PENANAkxgJLuBQN0
246Please respect copyright.PENANAuQE85GgrRE
I scoffed, "Mrs. Williams! You're married."246Please respect copyright.PENANASdmAs0jRcm
246Please respect copyright.PENANAb3zVnZlW02
"May," She corrected and chuckled. "Mrs. Williams is so old sounding."246Please respect copyright.PENANAGHsOfx6DX7
246Please respect copyright.PENANAaWoNOJ242o
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.246Please respect copyright.PENANAss3sO2sRxT
246Please respect copyright.PENANAW8nUCAxA9g
"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."246Please respect copyright.PENANAaPlKwo5xi1
246Please respect copyright.PENANAPfdsJQ7Ofw
"Does he have a lot of other people here?"246Please respect copyright.PENANA52Wh0tatR8
246Please respect copyright.PENANAJTLX1kMpdg
She shrugged," Mostly employees really."246Please respect copyright.PENANAwzHLAMgyzQ
246Please respect copyright.PENANAqFDADeO38c
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.246Please respect copyright.PENANAEAKDhZpJNJ
246Please respect copyright.PENANA9zGTciaGUa
"Go on." She nodded towards it and waited patiently.246Please respect copyright.PENANAdTbCci1zBX
246Please respect copyright.PENANAjMVJS7WAhr
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.246Please respect copyright.PENANAbXyjODGMKm
246Please respect copyright.PENANApHyI4VtvQA
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.246Please respect copyright.PENANA0whbHjHD2a
246Please respect copyright.PENANAbg9liZpiN5
"Does he like to read?" I wandered and let my fingers brush along the edges of the wood.246Please respect copyright.PENANA8BCRqPsiDX
246Please respect copyright.PENANARFLCYSj5dt
"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."246Please respect copyright.PENANA7zcr82Yh3S
246Please respect copyright.PENANAkRhrSqv3bH
"Hmm."246Please respect copyright.PENANAXsyAtm4I7l
246Please respect copyright.PENANAa6I4S6utlH
"Anyways," May continued and sat the last bag down next to the others. "Check out your closet."246Please respect copyright.PENANAJ64PGIaCM5
246Please respect copyright.PENANADNgIz4hkmk
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.246Please respect copyright.PENANAS7djpvsqka
246Please respect copyright.PENANAofoaOYlUCw
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.246Please respect copyright.PENANACitf8LlH1z
246Please respect copyright.PENANAd5AiShqBhL
"This is..."I started as I lifted up the strap of a Gucci purse.246Please respect copyright.PENANAuVGugflfLD
246Please respect copyright.PENANAx5J9qCbQrn
"Amazing?" May chirped, eyes lighting up with delight.246Please respect copyright.PENANAmnEsQBYThM
246Please respect copyright.PENANApIgEfs7SbC
I nodded and set it down, "I was going to say a little but much."246Please respect copyright.PENANAOoxodHeV4r
246Please respect copyright.PENANAaLZ7RYDyrs
"You get used to it."246Please respect copyright.PENANAawSmbZKDYK
246Please respect copyright.PENANAOoBFrlXa7d
I highly doubt that. 246Please respect copyright.PENANANImVhGrLvK
246Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZuCt5QCW1
"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.246Please respect copyright.PENANAp6BDKEg2wR
246Please respect copyright.PENANAMSMReWXHcR
"Will Mr. Wolfe be present?"246Please respect copyright.PENANAKzTb6hxyq7
246Please respect copyright.PENANASa5vqIZY7v
She stopped, "He doesn't eat with anyone."246Please respect copyright.PENANAjeloDw1liz
246Please respect copyright.PENANALiL6n1wyVZ
"That's kind of sad." 246Please respect copyright.PENANASU4JZh7jVF
246Please respect copyright.PENANAB9WIFDpWqB
She glanced back at me, "I suppose it is."246Please respect copyright.PENANAqArsd1Bjng
246Please respect copyright.PENANAADL50wYA4B
I watched May's back as she exited the room without another word.246Please respect copyright.PENANAQAwoxQ70DU
246Please respect copyright.PENANA8tM1SWQol8
I was alone again. For the first time, I had nobody.246Please respect copyright.PENANA3UfXQdzmDH
246Please respect copyright.PENANAvfskzZysOG
Just me.246Please respect copyright.PENANAPW7pKkauCN
246Please respect copyright.PENANARcPCz3rYaU
246Please respect copyright.PENANAZJZlIt3CQl
