The Genius's Nanny

I promised to take care of him until he didn't need me anymore. I made a mistake.

I was twenty-two. Just a broke artist with a pair of scissors and a flashlight, hired to be his nanny.

But children grow up. And Silas Vane grew up... different.

As the years passed, I started noticing things I couldn't explain. My dates getting cancelled. My debts mysteriously paid off. The feeling of eyes watching me while I slept.

I thought I was raising a lonely boy. I didn't realize I was becoming the center of a dangerous obsession.

Now, he is a man. A genius who controls everything around him. And he has finally solved the only equation that matters:

How to keep me forever.
