The bright sun shone through the glass ceiling of the massive indoor greenhouse estate.
Julianne pulled her dark navy suit jacket tighter around her shoulders as she walked.
She had spent five years staying away from her family's massive marble estate.
Her older sister Victoria stood near the giant indoor pool in a sparkling gold gown.
Victoria looked down at Julianne's seven-year-old son Leo with complete disgust.
Leo was sitting near the edge playing with a small toy car.
"He should not be named in our father's will," Victoria sneered aloud.
Julianne stopped near the central white marble wall under the large flag.
"Our father loved Leo more than your endless spending," Julianne said quietly.
Victoria turned around with a sharp turn of her silk gown.
"This mansion belongs to me and my husband," Victoria snapped angrily.
"The lawyer will read the estate paper at noon," Julianne reminded her.
Victoria stepped closer to the young boy near the blue pool water.
Leo looked up with wide frightened eyes as her high heels clicked.
"Your mother thinks she can just walk back in," Victoria whispered coldly.
Julianne saw the danger in her sister's eyes a moment too late.
Victoria suddenly reached out her hands and shoved young Leo backward into the water.
The loud splash echo filled the vast glass greenhouse immediately.
Leo screamed in fear as he sank below the deep blue surface.
Victoria laughed out loud without a single speck of guilt.
Julianne felt her heart stop completely in her chest.
She did not pause to think or hesitate for a single second.
She kicked off her heavy work shoes on the slippery marble floor.
Julianne dove headfirst into the cold pool water after her son.
The cool water rushed past her eyes as she searched the bottom.
She spotted his blue shorts swaying near the deep drain filter.
She kicked her legs hard and reached out her right hand quickly.
Her fingers caught his small hand firmly in the dark blue depth.
Julianne pulled him upward toward the bright surface lights above.
They broke through the surface together as Leo gasped desperately for air.
"I've got you, my sweet baby," Julianne cried out loudly.
She hauled him up onto the dry marble ledge with all her strength.
Mark ran across the room with wide eyes and pale white cheeks.
"Is he breathing fine?" Mark yelled while dropping to his knees.
"Take him right now," Julianne ordered as she pulled herself out.
The butler stumbled back in total shock near a shelf of plants.
He knocked over a cart of clay pots that shattered loudly everywhere.
Red dirt spread across the clean white floor around the pool.
Julianne stood up while dripping wet from head to toe.
Her dark navy suit was ruined, but her eyes held raw fury.
Victoria stood nearby with a proud fake smile on her face.
"It was an accident," Victoria lied with a light nervous giggle.
Julianne marched forward without saying a single gentle word.
She swung her hand fast and delivered a fierce open palm slap.
The sharp sound cracked through the high glass greenhouse ceiling.
Victoria fell hard onto the hard wet tile with a loud shock.
