Glass shards rained down onto the stone patio like heavy glitter in the bright sunlight.
Brenda scrambled backward, her expensive red dress catching on the jagged edges of the broken door frame.
Sarah stood her ground in the snow, her breathing heavy as she cradled her child safely.
The sound of fast running footsteps echoed from the side of the grand mansion yard.
David came sprinting around the evergreen trees, looking wildly around the scene in total confusion.
He wore a thick black winter jacket and looked completely stunned by the destruction before him.
David: What on earth happened here? Who broke the glass door?
David stopped in his tracks as he saw Sarah holding their crying infant son in the cold.
Sarah spun toward him, her finger pointing aggressively at Brenda, who was trembling indoors.
Sarah: Ask your wife why our son was freezing in the snow!
David turned his eyes toward Brenda with an expression of complete disbelief and rising horror.
David: Brenda, tell me she is lying right now. Tell me you didn't do this.
Brenda tried to regain her composure, smoothing down her white fur wrap with shaking hands.
Brenda: She is crazy, David! She threw a rock at our home for no reason at all!
Sarah: Look at his suit! Look at the snow stuck to his back, you heartless liar!
David stepped closer to Sarah and inspected the baby's frozen clothing with growing terror.
He touched his son's ice-cold cheeks and felt the cold reality of the terrible situation.
He realized that Brenda had actually locked their innocent child outside in sub-zero temperatures.
David turned back toward Brenda with an expression of pure betrayal and intense anger.
David: You told me the nanny took him for a nap in his warm nursery upstairs!
Brenda: He is not my child, David! I will not let that woman's baby ruin our beautiful life!
David: He is my son! How could you ever be so heartless and cruel?
Sarah held her baby tighter, knowing that the truth was finally coming out into the light.
The comfortable lie that Brenda had built around her luxury life was crumbling fast.
David pulled out his mobile phone with quick, furious movements to take decisive action.
