Chloe stood near the top of the wide white stairs.
Lily followed her to show her a nice green drawing.
The small girl held the smooth white paper in her hands.
Chloe turned around with an angry look on her face.
She grabbed the white paper and tore it into small pieces.
Lily began to cry softly as the paper fell down.
Chloe raised her voice and yelled at the small girl.
She told Lily that her father did not love her anymore.
The mean words made the poor girl step backward in fear.
She almost backed into the high railing of the upper floor.
Chloe stepped forward and grabbed Lily by her small shoulder.
She shook the scared girl and pointed down the long stairs.
Lily screamed loudly in fear as her feet lost their balance.
The loud scream rang out through the giant white room below.
Marcus heard his daughter's cry from inside his private office.
He dropped his expensive pen right onto the wooden desk surface.
He ran out of the room as fast as he could movement.
His heart beat fast against his chest in sudden terrible terror.
He looked up and saw Chloe holding Lily near the edge.
Lily was crying hard and trying to pull away from Chloe.
Chloe was shouting mean things at the small frightened child.
Marcus sprinted across the polished floor with wide giant steps.
He yelled at his sister to take her hands off Lily.
Chloe looked down at him with a cold and mean stare.
She let go of the child near the slippery top stair.
Lily tripped backward over a small red toy block on the step.
She began to fall down the dangerous set of marble steps.
Marcus dove across the floor with both arms stretched out wide.
He slid hard across the smooth tiles to catch his child.
The sharp sound of his shoes echoed off the tall walls.
He caught Lily safely in his strong arms just in time.
