Richard stood up tall while holding his quiet son safely against his shoulder.
He marched toward Victoria and pointed aggressively at her with fierce executive authority.
Richard: DON'T YOU EVER TOUCH HIM AGAIN!
Victoria reacted with a shocked panicked expression and held her breath in disbelief.
Victoria: Richard, please let us talk about this privately upstairs right now!
Richard: There is nothing left to talk about between us anymore, Victoria.
He pointed firmly toward the tall heavy double doors of the front exit.
Richard: GET OUT OF MY HOUSE RIGHT NOW!
Victoria stood frozen for a second before realizing her comfortable life was over.
She grabbed her designer purse from the table and rushed out the doors.
The heavy doors slammed shut behind her echoing through the vast quiet house.
Richard turned back toward Elena with deep gratitude shining in his brown eyes.
Richard: You saved my son when nobody else was looking out for him.
Elena: I only did what any caring person should do for a child.
Richard wiped a stray tear from his eye and smiled at the maid.
Richard: I want you to stay as Leo's full-time primary caregiver from now on.
Richard: I will triple your salary and cover all your mother's medical expenses.
Elena gasped softly as tears of immense relief flowed freely down her cheeks.
She knew her mother would finally receive the critical treatment she needed daily.
Leo smiled sweetly and reached out to give Elena a warm gentle hug.
Justice had finally prevailed inside the grand Texas home on that bright afternoon.
Truth and courage had defeated cruelty and greed behind the heavy gilded doors.
Elena held the young boy's hand as they walked together toward the kitchen.
A bright new chapter was beginning for everyone inside the peaceful Dallas home.
