Chapter 2 - The Erased Evidence
Maya stared at the glittering gold watch on the floor, the blood draining completely from her terrified face.
She felt the entire room spinning around her as she struggled to comprehend how the watch had gotten there.
I did not put that in my pocket, I swear someone planted it on me!
Victoria let out a theatrical gasp, covering her mouth with her perfectly manicured hand.
Are you honestly going to stand there and accuse me of planting my own priceless heirloom on the help?
Julian knelt down slowly, picking up the heavy gold timepiece with absolute precision.
He inspected the intricate watch face for a long moment before turning his piercing gaze back to his wife.
You are absolutely right, Victoria, this situation requires irrefutable proof.
Victoria smiled smugly, crossing her arms over her chest like a victorious queen.
Call the Beverly Hills police immediately, Julian, and have this trash thrown in a jail cell where she belongs.
Julian casually reached into the inner pocket of his tailored suit jacket and pulled out his sleek smartphone.
You seem to have forgotten a very massive detail about marrying a man who builds global security systems, Victoria.
I have microscopic, state-of-the-art hidden cameras installed in every single room of this estate.
Victoria’s confident, arrogant smirk faltered for just a fraction of a second.
The moment he pulls up the encrypted video feed, we will all see exactly who put the watch in that apron.
Maya felt a massive wave of relief wash over her, knowing the digital truth would finally set her free.
Julian tapped the screen of his phone, accessing the highly classified surveillance network he had coded himself.
He swiped to the master bedroom feed, his eyes narrowing intensely as the loading icon spun in a continuous circle.
The silence in the grand foyer grew incredibly heavy, suffocating everyone waiting for the verdict.

Julian slowly lowered his smartphone, his jaw tightening into a dangerous, rigid line.
Someone has just remotely wiped the entire surveillance hard drive clean.
