Mark sat inside his quiet office while looking at the large oak desk before him.
The sun shone brightly through the tall glass windows of the grand estate.
Everything inside the home looked peaceful and expensive to every visiting guest.
Mark had built his large business empire after many years of honest hard work.
He lost his beloved first wife three years ago during a terrible storm.
His young daughter Lily was the most precious person in his entire life.
Mark married Victoria six months ago because he thought she truly cared for Lily.
Victoria always wore expensive silk dresses and smiled brightly in front of Mark.
She acted like a loving mother whenever Mark was sitting in the room.
However, small changes began to happen inside the large house very slowly.
Lily became unusually quiet whenever Victoria walked into the grand kitchen.
The young girl used to laugh and play freely across the bright floor.
Now Lily stayed inside her bedroom and held her small teddy bear tightly.
Mark noticed that his daughter looked nervous during their family dinner meals.
He asked Victoria if anything had happened while he was at work.
Victoria: She is just missing her old school friends today, honey.
Mark nodded his head because he trusted his new wife's gentle voice.
He wanted his young daughter to have a complete and happy home again.
Yet a heavy feeling stayed inside Mark's chest every single morning.
He decided to hire a private security technician to inspect the large house.
The technician installed small black security cameras high up on the ceiling moldings.
Nobody else in the house knew about the new security recording system.
Mark kept the digital access codes private on his personal phone screen.
He prayed that his suspicious thoughts were completely wrong about his wife.
He hoped the security system would simply offer his family extra peace.
The afternoon sun slowly shifted across the grand white marble hallway floor.
Mark packed his leather briefcase and prepared to leave for a meeting.
He kissed Lily on her cheek and smiled softly at his daughter.
Mark: I will be back home before dinner starts, sweetheart.
Lily nodded silently and held her father's hand for one extra second.
Mark stepped outside toward his car while feeling a sudden dark shadow.
He decided to park his vehicle down the long private street nearby.
Something inside his mind told him to check his phone video feed.
