A live-in nanny would ensure Dolly got the best care possible when I wasn’t with her. And when I saw Emma for the first time I didn’t just see a caretaker for Dolly. I saw a woman who had every caveman instinct in me rising up like a primal beast. I felt possession and need for Emma the likes of which I’d never experienced before. I didn’t just want a nanny anymore, I wanted Emma … all of her. She might think this was just another job, but before our time was up Emma would realize she was mine and I wasn't letting her go.
