Mark placed Lily gently on the soft leather couch inside his room.
He handed her a glass of water to help calm her shaking hands.
Then he walked over to his desk computer to check the indoor cameras.
Mark had installed high-definition security cameras throughout the entire house months ago.
He opened the live recording footage from the main balcony area instantly.
The video clearly showed Victoria grabbing Lily roughly by the shoulder.
It captured Victoria intentionally shoving the girl over the balcony step.
Mark saved the clear footage to an encrypted flash drive immediately.
He called his personal family lawyer to draft immediate divorce papers.
Then he dialed the local police department to report the cruel physical attack.
Outside the locked door, Victoria pounded her fists against the heavy wood.
She yelled at Mark to open the door and talk like adults.
She threatened to ruin his corporate reputation if he dared leave her.
Mark ignored her frantic screams and comforted his young daughter instead.
He promised Lily that no one would ever harm her again in this home.
The sound of police sirens echoed in the distance down the quiet driveway.
