Chapter 16 - THE STAFF RULE
Villa Virelli adopted a rule that should never have needed writing.
No romantic partner, fiancé, adult guest, or extended relative possessed authority over a minor child merely because of proximity to the household principal.
Care instructions came from:
Parent.
Authorized caregiver.
Qualified professionals.
Written household plan.
Not future marital status.
Staff could interrupt.
Call me.
Call security supervisor.
Call child-care lead.
No fear of “interfering in family.”
Marie read the policy.
Then said:
“I should have called anyway.”
“Yes.”
“I’m sorry.”
“I know.”
I kept her.

Accountability did not always require destruction.
She never ignored Lila again.
