TERMINATION: Either party may terminate with 30 days notice. Upon termination, remaining debt calculated pro-rata based on time served and work completed.
The terms were . . . fair. More than fair. Generous, even. Fifty hours a week was less than I'd been working at my three jobs. One day off per week was more than I'd had in six months. The stipend was pocket money but it was something—more than I'd had since my father died.
My photographic memory ran calculations. Four years at fifty hours per week, that was roughly 10,400 hours of labor. Even at a generous rate of $150 per hour for someone with my skills, that was $1.56 million. He was forgiving $2.3 million.
He was overpaying by almost $750,000.
Why? What was the angle? What did he actually want?
I flipped to the next page. More standard provisions. Confidentiality agreements. Non-disclosure of family business. Acknowledgment that I understood the nature of theorganization I was working for. All reasonable for a criminal enterprise.
Page three covered medical care in detail. Annual checkups. Immediate treatment for any illness or injury. Mental health services available upon request. The last item made my chest tight. Mental health services. He'd included therapy in the contract.
Page four outlined living arrangements. Private bedroom with ensuite bathroom. Access to common areas. Laundry service provided. Personal items and clothing provided as needed. I could request specific items within reason.
It read less like an employment contract and more like . . . I didn't know. Care instructions. Like I was someone being looked after rather than someone paying off a debt.
The unease in my stomach grew.
I reached page six.
OPTIONAL CLAUSES FOR ENHANCED ARRANGEMENT
My heart stopped. Actually stopped for a beat, then slammed back into motion.
The following clauses are OPTIONAL and may be added to this agreement with consent of both parties. Either party may initiate negotiation of optional clauses. Either party may terminate optional clauses with 24 hours notice, reverting to basic contract terms.
I should have stopped reading. Should have skipped to the signature page and ignored whatever the optional clauses said.
I kept reading.

The clinical language made it worse. More real. Like someone had taken the most intimate, vulnerable part of me and turned it into contract terms.
