Chapter 3 - The Neighbor Steps Forward With More Disturbing Evidence
A sharp knock echoed against the front door just as Daniel returned to the hallway carrying a crying Lily.
He pulled the door open to find Mr. Henderson, the next-door neighbor who had sent the video, standing anxiously on the porch.
“Mr. Henderson... thank you for sending that footage; you saved my daughter from something unimaginable today,” Daniel said hoarsely.
“I had to speak up, Daniel, because this wasn’t just a one-time incident,” the older neighbor whispered, glancing around nervously.
“What do you mean? How long has Claire been treating Lily like this behind my back?” Daniel asked, his blood running cold.
“I saw her shoving Lily into the dark garage last month during a snowstorm and locking the heavy door,” Henderson revealed.
Claire appeared behind Daniel in the hallway, her face turning pale as she realized her neighborhood alibi had just shattered.
“You’re a lying old busybody fabricating lies to destroy our marriage!” Claire shrieked, pointing an accusatory finger.

“I have three more video clips saved on my cloud storage from previous weeks if you’d like the police to see them,” Henderson replied coolly.
Daniel stared at his wife with absolute disgust, realizing he had married a stranger wearing a mask of domestic perfection.
