About this story
Every house in Umhlanga has good bones and bad secrets. THE NANNY'S FAVOUR opens one: a broke student-nanny, a silver-fox employer, a joint that wasn't hers, and an offer made in a home office while the toddler naps upstairs. It's the power-play fantasy played exactly as dirty as it should be — the favour, the desk, the snapped g-string, the envelope with the extra cash slipped inside like nothing happened — and it never once pretends anyone's hands are clean. She stays when she could walk out; he asks when he should be silent; and the ending is a wave from the front steps that will make you sit up straight. Two chapters, one desk, no HR department in sight. Read it with the door closed — this is the one your group chats whisper about, and the one nobody admits to finishing twice. Three chapters? No — two, and they're both filthy.
