Very willing Staffer

I work my family company and as the youngest, I'm low on the family pecking order. But I'm head of a section and on the board. My wife died in 2021 (cancer) my children are out on their own. My office overlooks everything in my section and I can see what's going on. At 54 not dating and working mostly to keep busy, so I was watching my staff and noticed one looking depressed. I didn't know her by name which was unusual for me as I'm pretty hands on as they say. I checked up on who she was and found she was 52 (single), I was stunned to find out she had been employed for 6 years. I wondered how I didn't know her before that day, so I asked my assistant manager and he said she was a very quiet timid person who kept in the background mostly but was reliable in her work. I decided to have her assigned to me for a project I'd been given. Mainly to get to know her and hopefully find out why she looked depressed. I like a happy workplace as I believe it's more efficient. I also asked the staff councilor about in case there was something I should know. She told me that the employee had been abused growing up and during an abusive marriage and on her husband dying in a gunfight with police, she had started working for us. Having no children and had improved since starting with us and was about as good as she could get. I only took charge of the section 4 years ago and was distracted for a time with my wife's illness. So, slowly, slowly approach was called for and I tried to get her to relax around me. She couldn't relax, she was very compliant, when could she stay back after hours she did, missing her bus and having to walk 6miles home. When I found out by accident, I had a phone call, and I was leaving later than her and saw her walking home. I gave her a ride home and every time after I gave her ride when she worked back. I realized I felt protective of her welfare, and I started to think she needed a better place to live. As part of my project, I'd to go away and I took her with me. Separate rooms no sex or me trying anything either, she stayed close to me the whole time. Like I was her security blanket. The next trip we shared the same room, as I had seduced her on our return from the first trip. She was so compliant, nothing I asked of her was opposed by her. In fact, she never opposed anything I asked of her and so as I wanted her to have better place to live, I had her move in with me. I treated her well and asked every time when I wanted if she was willing. She never said no, in fact she just started undressing. On completing the project, I promoted and not wanting to lose her. I married her, she would still be with every day, but as my wife and not employed. She had attached herself to me and was rarely more than few feet away, my family like/love her, and she is great with my grandchildren. But I can't leave the room as she gets very nervous if she can't see me. But she is slowly getting better, as a lover she fantastic and always willing. My father loves her and as she attends the family board meetings and use to sit in corner waiting for me. He had a chair put next to him and I was moved closer. The family all know she was badly abused in the past and treat with great care. To say she can't be far away from me is a fact, I had to have night in hospital after tripping over our dog and damaging my knee. She had to stay in the room with me, even clothes shopping with mother she wouldn't go unless I'm with her, but she is improving and as long as it's no more than hour she can cope now. My father thinks it great as my mother has to be quick and not take all day as she uses too. I also find I get anxious if she is out of sight for a long time.
