Chapter 6 - The Secret FileBefore the police arrived, Marcus opened another file on his phone.
He had spent the previous month investigating strange incidents involving Leo.
Missed medications.
Unexplained drowsiness.
A nanny suddenly quitting.
Claire being blamed for everything.
At first, Marcus had suspected coincidence.
Then he discovered something disturbing.
The nursery medication cabinet had been opened repeatedly when Claire wasn't home.
He had installed a secondary sensor.
The records showed Evelyn entering the nursery late at night.
Again.
And again.
Claire stared at the evidence.
“She was doing this while I was sleeping?”
Marcus nodded.
Claire covered her mouth.
Evelyn said nothing.
The silence became an admission.
Then Marcus played one final recording.
Evelyn's voice filled the room.
“Just enough to keep him sleepy. Claire won't notice.”
Claire's knees nearly gave way.
Marcus caught her.

His anger was no longer controlled.
It was focused.
