She took the first job the placement agency offered. She should have asked who owns the agency.

Daphne Iliou

I walked into a placement agency in Athens at two on a Tuesday afternoon and asked the receptionist whether there were any nanny positions outside the city. The receptionist did not blink. The car collected me at four. The man rinsing blood from his arms in the courtyard at six told me his name was Nikos. I have eighteen months of nursing school. I know the small dark mark above his second knuckle is not from a kitchen accident.

I did not read past the salary on the contract.

The fourth page of the contract said until the children reach their majority.

The children are nine.

Nikos Drakos

I run security for the family. I have been a widower for seven years. I have not let another woman within ten meters of my sons since their mother was killed in front of them. The agency that placed her with me is mine. I have known about her ex-fiancé for weeks before she arrived. She does not yet know that, but she will.
