Elena stood beside the bright blue pool with her tiny baby boy tucked safely in his carrier.
The sun beat down over the grand Dallas estate owned by her husband's wealthy family.
It was supposed to be an enjoyable afternoon celebration for the new trust fund announcement.
Instead, Sarah paced across the white stone patio with a look of pure hatred.
Sarah was the second wife of the family patriarch and loved every cent of his fortune.
She never liked Elena because Elena came from a humble working-class background in town.
Now that Elena had born the first male heir, Sarah felt her own inheritance slipping away.
She marched right up to Elena with her expensive sunglasses clutched tightly in her hand.
"Get this stroller out of my way!" Sarah shouted loudly across the quiet yard.
Elena stepped firmly between the woman and her little baby, refusing to back down easily.
"Move aside right now, Sarah," Elena replied with a calm but very firm tone.
"You think you own this whole house just because you married into it," Sarah sneered bitterly.
She lunged forward to grab the handlebars of the stroller with unbelievable fury.
Elena grabbed the strap and pulled back with all her physical strength to protect her infant.
The wheels skidded across the smooth stone surface near the open water of the pool.
Sarah shoved the handles forward with a sudden burst of malice.
The stroller rolled backward rapidly toward the drop-off at the edge of the deep water.
Elena screamed in pure panic as the back wheels slipped right over the concrete edge.
The heavy blue stroller tipped completely over and splashed right into the deep pool water.
Bubbles rushed to the surface as the heavy carrier began to sink downward fast.
