Mark took a deep breath and stared at the glowing phone screen.
Officer Davis pressed play on the security feed recording file.
The police officer had accessed the cloud server from the home hub.
The video showed the interior hallway footage from two hours ago.
Victoria appeared clearly on the screen walking toward the nursery door.
She held a roll of heavy gray duct tape in her right hand.
She unlocked the wall panel with her personal finger scanner tool.
She flipped off the main ventilation system toggle on camera.
Then she pressed the gray tape firmly over the switch controls.
She deliberately typed a brand new passkey code into the key set.
She shut the heavy acrylic door and set the remote lock.
After that, she strolled down to the sofa and poured red wine.
Mark watched the video as his eyes widened in absolute horror.
The color completely drained from his face as the truth sank in.
The phone speaker played the sound of the nursery alarm ringing.
Victoria had watched the alarm light flash without moving an inch.
Mark turned his head slowly to look at his handcuffed wife.
His jaw clenched tight as his fists trembled at his sides.
Mark: You monster!
Mark: You did this to an innocent infant?
Victoria: Mark, listen to me, she was going to take custody!
Victoria: If she got full custody, your estate money would leave!
Mark: I do not care about the estate money, Victoria!
Mark: That is my daughter you trapped inside that room!
Victoria: I did it for us, Mark, for our future security!
Mark: There is no future for us anymore.
Mark walked straight past Victoria as if she were a total stranger.
He stepped over to Sarah and looked down at his quiet baby girl.
Tears welled up in Mark's dark eyes as guilt crushed him.
He realized how blind he had been to Victoria's true nature.
He had ignored Sarah's warnings for months out of stubborn pride.
Mark: Sarah... I am so deeply sorry.
Sarah: You trusted the wrong person with our daughter's life.
Mark: I know, and I will never forgive myself for this.
Officer Davis pulled Victoria toward the open front entrance doors.
She stumbled in her high heels, weeping loudly in total defeat.
