Chapter 8 - The Hidden Truth

"What proof?" she demanded, a hint of genuine panic creeping into her voice.
"Two weeks ago, I installed hidden nanny cams in the nursery," I explained to the officers.
"I wanted to capture moments of the babies while I was at work."
Victoria’s face went completely pale, all the color draining away as the reality set in.
I pulled out my phone and opened the secure app connected to the hidden cameras.
I handed the phone to the lead officer, pressing play on the recorded footage.
The high-definition video clearly showed Victoria entering the room with her glass of wine.
It captured the brutal slaps, the degrading insults, and the horrifying moment she tied Emily to the bed.

The officers watched in disgusted silence as the true monster was revealed on the small screen.
"You absolute psycho," the lead officer muttered, handing the phone back to me.
He walked over to Victoria, grabbing her arm and cutting the bedsheets loose.
"Victoria Cole, you are under arrest for assault, unlawful imprisonment, and attempted murder," he stated loudly.
He slammed the heavy metal handcuffs onto her wrists, ignoring her frantic protests.
"Arthur, please!" she begged as they dragged her toward the stairs.
