"Robbie, I'd like you to meet Mr. Williams."389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOGApWYg8G
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHKeHgzVPM
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.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xxnzNDFv0
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSfEC98WCk
"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."389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszYnxOECb4
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2dF4P9jQI
I stammered, "G-great."389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1So8KqE1tA
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSVhAkFW4o
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."389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5weyY5gpZO
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nqz8PEgyc
"Really!" I beamed.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZh0tFXvM8
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2w4cLfMJO
School books, cell phone and charger, toiletries, some of my favorite pieces of jewelry and snacks I had hidden from Josh under my bed.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGI2Z9K8EqF
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhu4Iu8b0Dh
"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."389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGR73Oq7l9
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvpowhMA7K
"Wow...Thank you! That means a lot." I told her wholeheartedly.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG63XgrrQBq
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1dirp4hBt
I'm going to miss this strange, humorless woman. 389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEM74Fq8EZ
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaI7LqYVhi
"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."389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5He2lJjiOa
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFQKbpqi7Q
"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?"389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfp0ujQNhsv
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYiCW6Fily
"Oh...wow..uh."389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlikKpO6yA
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyrkNdjOxZ
"We'll decide in the car." He chuckled and gave Angel a parting glance before exiting.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIm4iEemMcs
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfoyUue6Yh
"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."389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzFLUIrVal
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfEk31aJAM
"Thank you," I replied and without thinking tossed my arms around her. "For everything."389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1IdrQwX2q
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolGK7WCk3S
She stiffened a bit by the sudden display of affection, but let her arms cradle me in the embrace.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OHLke2kzQ
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKzjzltT6I
"Of course, Robbie. Let's get you down there."389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWocbVhBy1
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAFJ4jKvOF
The two of us headed down towards the front of the entrance where Mr. Williams waited in front of a sleek black Mercedes.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16OiMwdZUr
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILJfK19BHG
"Alright! I'll see you soon, Robbie. Take care and remember to call if you need me." Angel piped up from the side.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApP6sFJr2p
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVFfocizMo
"She'll be in great hands," Mr. Williams assured her warmly. "Ready to go Ms. Quinn?"389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZt1tYCeEJK
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRSQhmcq7T
I nodded, swallowing the lump in my throat. "Yes, sir."389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzlh7wmirr
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevw5DUPpTQ
I stepped toward the open door and glanced back giving Angel a worried look. She just smiled back at me and nodded.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDhTg8zEDG
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTswpPGjEs
"Ready?" Mr. Williams mused as he stepped into the drivers side389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorWNDHKZKH
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXA8DD4yUr
"Yes..."389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbf3qAHNOEF
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2F2brwG65
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.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7CF6NpHud
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfo0dPrj6Q3
_389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLewK1oz9Zl
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡispLzUgcNt
"We're here, Ms. Quinn."389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTjPkrVnUt
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoWODiEWPB
My eyelids fluttered as Mr. Williams spoke. The car now parked along some secluded dark pathway surrounded by massive trees.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfjCbxrc6c
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqiJG8nwCN
"Where's the house?" I asked, peering out the dark window.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdlRfZ0pPM
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEp68XekSBr
"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."389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RdC41SQ4S
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSWpYYrK9q
"Is she your wife?" I wondered.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ddTlmokZ8
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0tw3tamof
"She sure is. My ball and chain."389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxl0sBCL1rW
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wF5A8chuk
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.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20oG4GovNW
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDYgG0mjQ0
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.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXp1q6F2h6
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ135K64EA8M
"Hello, Ms. Quinn!" She cheered as she caught sight of me. "I'm Mrs. Williams, but you're welcome to call me May."389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Fsgs3eg1b
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZRW7DYTi1
I grinned back at her, relieved by her kindness. "It's a pleasure to meet you!"389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lOcfx48Ug
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNf9tlpunKv
"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.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5aRB6nP9f
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkd0SMZfkP
"Of course, love." She smiled down at him.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhRJmwpOdi
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLx7NlRjmOJ
The two of them embrace quickly and kiss one another with so much passion as if they wouldn't see each other again.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEii9JkPuFo
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILR7ucPCCK
Watching them together really made me miss my parents. They were so in love.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfvQEmALFi
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpycZo7XC1P
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.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ968R3CLaO
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnORAUlaexG
"Alright! Ready to finish this trip up?"May asked, pulling me from my thoughts.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIU5fhdZH0
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEiIfneEPT
"Yes ma'am!" I replied and watched as Mr. Williams climbed into the jeep parked across from us.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoTpf0BrRB
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHuP1IQXeL
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.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzeqiwKCCC
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciEfUDpYVg
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.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavfJd87XIf
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIe9VAC50Z
"Just wait til you see this house." May mused from the front seat. "Have you ever seen a 3.8 million dollar mansion?"389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxPJGcK8oO
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbza7UhYrit
My jaw fell open, "3.8 million dollars?"389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQ0144obWR
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7H9BSlnge
She laughed loudly, "Mr. Wolfe is all about the riches."389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRfV9yWDMo
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBfoffRg8L
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.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeU2aD3MqV
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJ52D40yKM
Before us stood a home like nothing I could ever imagine. It's massive structure towered over the yard like a castle.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSsF0V6Vba
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60NMRjkX19
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.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngeSxiQ5pL
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISbvakFDMb
"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."389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbGrvzCPWI
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62oCR600jT
"He has his own bowling alley?" I gasped.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmiMFP2S5f
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECDkKkZO6B
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."389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEv4jhBTXlU
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4okclxmBku
"Does he have many people over?" I wondered as she came to my door.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNk5MzRbjyH
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxP1keN62p
"Not often," She shook her head and moved around me. "Mr. Wolfe is a man of...solitude."389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeo4J0OHqX3
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJvAnqjCYu
"What kind of work does he do?" I pushed, hoping May would give up something.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECkZNqQt2j
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwF7FkmasTe
She averted her eyes, "Honestly, none of us know for sure. It's more of a need to know thing."389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLCLrBf43P
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04XJEORag3
I nodded, laughing a bit. "Need to know." I repeated.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsekHj7mygO
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnwtNzvkem
"Now," May interjected and bumped the door shut with her hip. "Let me show you inside."389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJIynLTp61
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcq81l5vZs
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.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuoejeR93M
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpm0mbdJOv0
"This is the foyer." She stated as we stepped through the all glass front door.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchS5VVWAvN
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRocVdWTICr
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.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyf0xwBHURb
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAU7szcM8Z
Never would've guessed a lonely dude in his 20's lived here. 389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyK5qyIKvzu
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwCQww21q8
"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?"389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYk1hmk95y
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLgIbh6RQr
"Like a wife?"May wondered, giving me a suspicious grin. "He's very single and very gorgeous."389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMojvC4BV9
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5NWCphAoi
I scoffed, "Mrs. Williams! You're married."389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XX0yqxQIA
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPUHyQloWM
"May," She corrected and chuckled. "Mrs. Williams is so old sounding."389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7DqrDtpmu
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8LRGpDxWO
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.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4qByrnEd3
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Q532iIyZm
"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."389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdPA5TLux2
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaL71NFWWXc
"Does he have a lot of other people here?"389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyg6ppJWoR
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnT77kuTd1N
She shrugged," Mostly employees really."389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQv3qs2CLO
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9034GA7mgo
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.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1pOwn4DEC
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocsLKDcZ6T
"Go on." She nodded towards it and waited patiently.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzid7UYzTl
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwg6J59Cnv
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.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy75cBKLnF4
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2i7bDng6mg
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.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyuiNLYxQq
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2arpi7It0
"Does he like to read?" I wandered and let my fingers brush along the edges of the wood.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYkcweLMv1
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlDjQpEv1f
"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."389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1i3NFTxrH
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCcV54VP6H
"Hmm."389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyS9aLjYwZ
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbOy1UHE3v
"Anyways," May continued and sat the last bag down next to the others. "Check out your closet."389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiD50E3leF
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi52A2YWHww
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.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOS5NW6L5V
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVVpKKTMKK
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.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBDfWCPu1g
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAhtDhNpJK
"This is..."I started as I lifted up the strap of a Gucci purse.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pSCpICNwO
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFF4wiXXaU3
"Amazing?" May chirped, eyes lighting up with delight.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCErmYvkSQz
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHqUfX1MGF
I nodded and set it down, "I was going to say a little but much."389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyL7mUPshtG
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLPzETbS2z
"You get used to it."389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfoU9DkkaA
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlze2ZSPpj
I highly doubt that. 389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWesqpuZyk
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqDjJOgXPB
"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.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4y5553ECOL
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOc3CwRtPIf
"Will Mr. Wolfe be present?"389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPEFP7rC6H
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28kZrkaQct
She stopped, "He doesn't eat with anyone."389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2yhul5G4Z
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvCtiAvXNb
"That's kind of sad." 389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zNXE6rLvR
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwYhIgduAN
She glanced back at me, "I suppose it is."389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5rcgF7h3n
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQHsnmBPVr
I watched May's back as she exited the room without another word.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWapvTTZaiv
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ctO0P66Tg
I was alone again. For the first time, I had nobody.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0QaM6v2mE
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yUeKitIqL
Just me.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3IAZ8JcEJ
