Chapter 3: The Truth Hidden in the Cameras
Olivia was admitted overnight.
Fortunately, doctors stabilized her before permanent damage occurred.
The baby was safe.
Barely.
While she rested, Ethan returned home alone.
Not to forgive.
To investigate.
Their home security system had quietly recorded everything for months.
He had never bothered checking.
Now he watched every second.
Hour after hour.
His hands shook.
There was Olivia carrying heavy laundry baskets while holding her aching back.
Diane pointing at spilled juice and ordering her to clean it.
Vanessa dumping shopping bags on the floor.
"Pick these up."
Courtney pretending she couldn't cook.
Madison intentionally leaving dirty dishes everywhere.
Then came footage that made Ethan sick.
Olivia sitting at the table trying to take her medication.
Diane walked over.
Snatched the bottle.
Read the label.
Smirked.
Then calmly dropped it into the trash.
Olivia cried.
"Please... my doctor said I need that."
Diane answered coldly.
"You need discipline."
Not medicine.
Ethan stopped the recording.

His entire body trembled.
There would be no second chances.
