Eventually, his home transformed into the same kind of controlled environment where nothing was left to chance.
He installed cameras everywhere throughout the house to monitor every detail of his sons’ care.
There were cameras in the living room, in the kitchen, in the hallways, and even outside the boys’ bedrooms.
All the cameras connected directly to his phone so he could observe everything at any time.
He watched during meetings, during flights, and even in the middle of the night when he could not sleep.
The first nannies did not last long because each one made mistakes that Daniel could not tolerate.
One dropped Aiden while distracted by her phone, which immediately destroyed Daniel’s trust.
Another mixed up the boys’ medications, creating a dangerous situation that could have ended much worse.
A third simply quit halfway through a shift, leaving Daniel furious and convinced that no one was reliable.
Each mistake made him trust people less and reinforced his belief that no one was capable of caring properly for his sons.
No one seemed careful enough, and no one seemed worthy of his trust or confidence.
