Chapter 3: The Hidden Camera
Chapter 3: The Hidden Camera
That night, I did something I never thought I would do.
I searched my own house.
Not because I was afraid of strangers.
Because I was afraid of my wife.
In Victoria’s office, I found a locked drawer.
Inside was a small notebook.
And a key.
The notebook contained names.
Dates.
Payments.
Emily wasn't the first nanny.
She was the seventh.
Every previous nanny had left suddenly.
“Family emergency.”
“Personal reasons.”
“Moving away.”
All lies.
Then I found something that made my stomach drop.
A hidden camera system.
Victoria had been recording every room in the house.
Including the nursery.
I opened the newest footage.
And there she was.
My wife.
Standing over Emily.
Saying words I would never forget.
“You don't matter.”
“You are only here because I pay you.”
Then Victoria looked directly into the camera.
May you like
As if she knew someone would watch it someday.
And she smiled.
