She was careful, however, because she understood that Dominic had seen something valuable in that moment, so she knew she needed a stronger reason to remove Olivia.
That reason came quickly.
Later that week, she convinced Dominic to install hidden cameras, claiming it was necessary for the safety of the children. He agreed, not realizing that this decision would reveal more than he expected.
Two days later, Dominic’s gold watch, a meaningful heirloom from his father, went missing from his office. Natalie immediately suggested checking Olivia’s belongings, planting suspicion in a way that felt almost natural.
Reluctantly, Dominic confronted Olivia and asked her to show her bag. With tears in her eyes, she emptied it carefully, revealing only simple personal items.
Then Natalie stepped forward, grabbed the bag, and shook it forcefully.
The watch fell out.
The twins began to cry immediately, holding onto Olivia as she insisted she had done nothing wrong. Dominic felt torn, but the evidence seemed undeniable, and in that moment he made a decision he would regret deeply.
He told her to leave without involving the authorities.
