Victor stormed forward down the white marble hallway with heavy, deliberate steps that echoed through the foyer.
Serena backed away quickly toward the front entryway, her gold sequin dress shimmering in the sunlight.
Serena: Victor, please let me explain before you make any sudden decisions about our marriage!
Victor: You put your hands on my son and lied to my face in my own home!
Victor cut off her path to the front door and stood firmly between her and young Ethan.
Victor: You tried to frame an innocent woman who has cared for my child with true kindness.
Serena: I was only trying to teach the boy proper discipline for his own future good!
Ethan: She squeezed my arm really hard, Daddy, and it hurt a lot!
Sarah stood beside Ethan and held his hand gently to make sure he felt completely safe now.
Sarah: You don't have to be afraid anymore, Ethan, your dad knows the whole truth now.
Serena: You stupid maid, you ruined everything I worked so hard to build in this city!
Victor: Do not speak another word to her or to my son ever again, Serena.
Victor reached into his brown trench coat pocket and pulled out his phone to call his divorce lawyer.
Victor: Arthur, prepare emergency divorce papers and a restraining order against Serena immediately today.
Serena gasped loudly and grabbed her designer handbag from the entryway table with shaking hands.
Serena: You can't throw me out like this without giving me my fair share of the estate!
Victor: The prenuptial agreement you signed states clearly that any abuse forfeits all financial claims completely.
Serena's arrogant posture collapsed entirely as she realized she had lost everything in one single moment.
