Chapter 5: The Hidden Recording
Arthur secretly installed new security systems throughout the mansion.
He needed proof.
Not suspicion.
Proof.
Days passed.
Victoria acted perfectly.
She smiled during dinner.
She hugged Lily in front of Arthur.
She played the role of a loving future stepmother.
But behind closed doorsâŠ
Everything changed.
The cameras captured conversations Arthur was never supposed to hear.
Victoria wasn't alone.
She was working with someone inside his company.
Someone who wanted control of Arthur's fortune.
And then Arthur heard something that destroyed him.
Victoria said:
"Once Arthur signs the marriage documents, everything belongs to us."
The person on the phone replied:
"And the child?"
A long silence followed.
Then Victoria answered:
"Lily will not be a problem."
Arthur's blood ran cold.
At that moment, he knew.

He wasn't protecting his money.
He was protecting his daughter.
