Maya knew that nobody in the world would believe her without actual real proof.
Evelyn was extremely clever and played the perfect stepmother whenever Arthur was nearby.
Whenever Arthur asked Maya how things were going, Evelyn stood right behind him smiling.
Maya had felt trapped and terrified for several weeks inside her own home.
However two days ago, Maya's uncle had gifted her a brand new safety smartphone.
He had installed a tiny security application connected to Arthur's personal tablet and phone.
The application was designed to monitor home security cameras in case of break-ins.
Maya had secretly positioned a tiny camera behind a vase on the high counter.
It streamed high-definition video directly to Arthur's private phone without anyone knowing.
Maya had prayed for the courage to activate the live security feed today.
As Evelyn stepped closer to Maya with a sharp glare, Maya hit the alert button.
Across town in the executive boardroom, Arthur was conducting a high-stakes investment meeting.
Several wealthy board members were sitting around a long polished mahogany table with him.
They were discussing a multi-million dollar corporate mortgage deal for a commercial building.
Suddenly Arthur's custom phone vibrated twice with a high-priority red security notification.
He usually ignored personal phone calls during important formal business meetings with executives.
However the notification was labeled emergency security feed from his primary residence living space.
He picked up his phone casually, expecting to see a package delivery at the front gate.
Instead his eyes widened in horror as the high-key bright kitchen video appeared clearly.
He saw his severe wife Evelyn standing over Maya in her black silk robe.
He heard Evelyn shouting cruel threats at Maya while baby Liam cried hysterically.
He saw Maya shaking violently while trying to shield her tiny baby brother from harm.
Arthur felt his blood turn completely ice cold inside his veins at that moment.
His chest felt tight as intense anger and profound regret surged through his entire body.
He had brought a monster into his home under the fake promise of love.
Arthur: The meeting is canceled effective immediately gentlemen, leave now!
Executive: Is everything okay Arthur? You look pale and upset.
Arthur: Delete everything from today's agenda, because I am coming home right now!
