Richard slowly walked toward a marble table in the center of the room.
Without speaking, he placed an expensive watch onto the polished surface.
The metallic sound echoed throughout the hall.
Damien frowned.
"What is this?"
Richard remained calm.
"The device you forgot was recording."
The smile instantly vanished from Damien's face.
Months earlier, Victoria's father had become suspicious.
He quietly hired investigators.
One of them discovered that Damien often removed security cameras whenever he became violent.
Confident that nobody could expose him, he never noticed the recording technology hidden inside a luxury watch he frequently wore during private meetings.
The device captured conversations, threats, and several incidents of abuse.
Everything had been documented.
Every lie.
Every attack.
Every confession.
And moments earlier, Damien had publicly admitted responsibility in front of dozens of witnesses.
For the first time, he realized he wasn't in control anymore.
