Ethan turned his full attention back to the trembling woman on the floor.
He grabbed Victoria firmly by her arm and pulled her to her feet.
Victoria: No! Let me go! You are hurting my arm!
Ethan: You are leaving this house in handcuffs forever!
Ethan dragged Victoria down the long marble hallway toward the grand front entrance.
She screamed and kicked her feet, but Ethan did not let go.
He opened the heavy double front doors with his free hand.
Outside, two city police cars pulled into the long driveway with lights flashing.
Ethan had already called the authorities while walking down the stairs.
The police officers stepped out of their vehicles and walked up the steps.
Ethan: Officers, take this woman away immediately.
Ethan: She physically endangered my young son inside my home.
Ethan: I have full high-definition video proof on my phone.
The police officers promptly put metal handcuffs around Victoria's wrists.
She cried loudly, her arrogant attitude completely broken and gone.
Victoria: Ethan, please forgive me! Give me one more chance!
Ethan turned his back on her without saying a single word.
The officers led the crying woman down the stairs into the police car.
The car drove away down the long street, leaving total quiet behind.
Ethan closed the heavy doors and took a deep, long breath.
He walked back to the living room where Elena held little Leo.
The toddler looked up at his father with calm, safe eyes.
Ethan knelt down beside Elena and took his son into his arms.
He held the boy tight against his chest, kissing his soft forehead.
Ethan: I will never let anyone hurt you again, my boy.
He looked up at Elena with deep, genuine gratitude in his heart.
Ethan: Elena, you are no longer a servant in this house.
Ethan: You are family, and you will manage this estate with full respect.
Elena smiled softly, feeling tears of real happiness fill her eyes.
Justice had won, and little Leo was finally safe in his true home.
