Nathan wrapped his strong arms around little Lily and pulled her close to his heart.
He could feel her small shoulders trembling as she sobbed into his grey suit jacket.
Nathan: Shh, sweetie, Daddy is right here now. Nobody will ever hurt you.
Lily: She said you were going to leave us, Daddy!
Nathan: That is not true, Lily. I am never going anywhere.
He reached out his hand to help Elena stand up safely off the marble floor.
Elena dusted off her apron and wiped the remaining tears from her weary eyes.
Elena: Thank you, Nathan. I tried to guard those documents for months.
Nathan: You did the right thing, Elena. You saved my daughter's future.
Sarah watched from the doorway as the three of them stood united against her.
She felt a sudden panic because she knew the legal consequences were coming fast.
Without the family money, her expensive lifestyle would disappear completely by tomorrow morning.
Sarah: Nathan, please! We can fix this without calling any corporate lawyers!
Nathan: You are leaving this house today, Sarah. Do not touch anything.
Sarah: You cannot throw me out! I am your wife!
Nathan took out his cell phone and dialed his head divorce lawyer immediately.
He placed the call on speakerphone so Sarah could hear every single word clearly.
Lawyer: Hello, Nathan. How can I help you this afternoon?
Nathan: Start the paperwork for full custody and file for an immediate divorce.
Sarah gasped in horror as the lawyer confirmed the instruction without any hesitation.
She backed away down the long corridor as the reality of her failure hit home.
