Victoria took a quick step forward to touch Mark's arm.
Victoria: Mark, please listen to me for one second!
Mark: Get away from her and get away from me!
Mark shoved her hands away forcefully in total disgust.
Victoria stumbled backward against the marble kitchen counter edge.
She clutched her red dress in sudden shock and shame.
Victoria: You can't just throw me out like this!
Mark: I am calling the police and my divorce lawyer now.
Victoria: Mark, please! We can talk about this privately!
Mark: Get out of my house right now!
Victoria realized her evil secret scheme was completely ruined forever.
She grabbed her leather purse off the counter in silence.
She kept her head lowered as she rushed past him.
The heavy front door slammed shut behind her retreating figure.
The quiet house finally felt peaceful and safe once more.
Mark turned around immediately to look at his small daughter.
Lily was standing near the wall with her bunny rabbit.
Her wide blue eyes were still wet with soft tears.
Mark dropped to his knees right on the kitchen floor.
He opened his strong arms wide for his precious child.
