I am quadrupling your salary, providing a private suite in this house, and you will have full authority over every single employee on this estate. You are no longer the hired help. You are family."
Tears of pure, unadulterated relief and joy spilled down my cheeks.
I hadn't just saved a little boy from a poisoned dessert; I had secured a beautiful, safe future I never dreamed possible.
