Chapter 4 - The Silence of the NannyThe husband turned toward the nanny.
“Are you all right?”
She hesitated.
That simple question almost broke her.
For months, she had learned to hide her feelings.
“Yes, sir.”
He shook his head.
“You don't have to say that.”
Her eyes filled with tears.
She quickly wiped them away.
“I just need to keep my job.”
The husband stared at her.
The sentence revealed more than any accusation could have.
His wife crossed her arms.
“This is ridiculous. You're making me look like some kind of monster.”
He turned toward her.
“I didn't make you look like anything.”
She went silent.
“You did that yourself.”
For the first time, she understood that there would be no easy way out.
