Mark held his daughter tightly while kneeling on the bright marble floor.
Victoria backed away slightly while holding her hands together in nervous fear.
She tried to craft a quick lie to save her position.
Victoria: She was misbehaving and trying to break expensive glass vases!
Mark stood up slowly and placed Lily safely behind his tall frame.
His eyes were cold and filled with deep disappointment and dark anger.
Mark: Do not speak another single lie inside this house, Victoria.
Victoria: I am your wife and I was only trying to discipline her!
Mark pointed his finger toward the bright ceiling molding high above them.
Lily raised her small hand and pointed up at the black device.
Lily: Daddy, the little black glass light was flashing the whole time.
Victoria looked up at the top corner of the white grand room.
She saw the sleek black security lens pointed straight down at her.
Her face lost all its bright color as pure panic hit her.
Victoria: Since when did you install recording cameras inside our living room?
Mark: I installed them three days ago to protect my family's truth.
Victoria took two steps backward and nearly stumbled on her long dress.
She realized that her entire cruel scene had been recorded in video.
Every harsh word and aggressive gesture was saved on Mark's private server.
Victoria: Please Mark, I was just stressed about our complex personal finances!
Mark: You tried to steal my daughter's late mother's gold inheritance bracelet.
Lily held her father's hand and looked up with big calm eyes.
The child knew that her father finally understood the real truth now.
Victoria tried to step closer to touch Mark's dark suit jacket sleeve.
Victoria: We can sit down and talk about this like adults!
Mark: Do not touch me or come near my daughter ever again.
Mark pulled out his phone and pressed the speed dial button immediately.
He called his senior corporate attorney and put the phone on speaker.
Attorney: Hello Mark, how can I assist you this afternoon?
Mark: Prepare immediate divorce papers and an emergency legal restraining order.
