othing must happen to the child. I am not allowed to roam around freely. I can't read any further. My fingers tighten around the file as I feel my sanity slipping. Is this some kind of joke? "Are you kidding me?" I blurt out, my voice laced with disbelief. "Everything in that file must be followed," he states firmly. "And if I refuse?" I challenge, narrowing my eyes. His expression remains unreadable. "Then you'll face the consequences." I let out a bitter laugh. "I married you, not signed up to be a nanny!" "That's not for you to decide," he replies coldly.

And now, someone I love is being used as leverage. Tears streamed down my face. What do I do? If I disobey him, will he really hurt Lily? My heart ached at the thought. Why was he doing this? What did I ever do to deserve this? No. This wasn't because of me
