Hi, have you set the domain correctly in your virtual hosts file?

There is a tutorial here:

Once the domain has been set correctly any domains not listed in the hosts file will not show your servers content.

How To Set Up Apache Virtual Hosts on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
by Justin Ellingwood
The Apache web server is the most popular way to serve web content on the internet. Apache has the ability to serve multiple domains from a single server by using a mechanism called "virtual hosts". If a virtual host is configured correctly for each domain, the web server can correctly route traffic to the appropriate files based on the domain name requested. In this guide, we'll demonstrate how to configure Apache virtual hosts on an Ubuntu 14.04 VPS.

What if simply add Apache virtualhost for the "otherdomain" and point it to 404?
