Victoria grabbed Daniels' hand in a frantic effort to explain herself.
Victoria: It was just a silly misunderstanding, I swear!
Daniels pulled his hand back as fury took over his mind.
He saw through the lies that had fooled him for months.
He turned toward Victoria with his fists clenched tightly at his side.
Daniels: You treated a human being like garbage today.
He gave her a harsh shove toward the big double doors.
Daniels: Get out of my house!
Victoria stumbled backward and fell onto the cold wet floor.
Her gold sequined dress was stained with water and dirt now.
She scrambled to her feet with tears ruining her heavy makeup.
Victoria: You cannot throw me out like this after everything!
Daniels: Watch me cancel every credit card in your name right now.
Eleanor stood tall near the grand staircase without saying a word.
She watched her son finally stand up for honor and basic respect.
Victoria grabbed her designer purse from the bench near the entry.
She ran out into the driveway, sobbing in total humiliation.
The heavy front doors slammed shut behind her with a loud boom.
Daniels turned to his mother with deep regret in his voice.
Daniels: I am so sorry for how I treated you, Mom.
Eleanor: You were blind, son, but now you can see.
Daniels walked over and wrapped his arms around his wet mother.
He knew he had almost lost the person who cared most.
The house felt quieter now that the false love was gone.
