Two local police officers walked into the grand front foyer entry.
They saw Victoria struggling against the two estate security guards.
"What seems to be the problem here?" the lead officer asked.
Julianne walked out of the greenhouse wrapped in a warm blanket.
"My sister pushed my seven-year-old son into the deep pool."
"We have full security video showing the entire act," Arthur added.
The officer looked at Victoria with a very serious stern face.
"You need to come with us for questioning right now, ma'am."
Victoria tried to pull away, but the officer cuffed her hands.
The gold dress wrinkled under the cold metal handcuff chain.
"You will pay for this, Julianne!" Victoria yelled out again.
"I already paid by losing my family for years," Julianne said.
The officers led Victoria out the front white double doors slowly.
The grand estate fell into a deep, peaceful quiet atmosphere.
Mark walked down the wide oak stairs holding dry clothes for Leo.
Leo was smiling now, wearing a big warm oversized sweater.
"The hot chocolate helped a lot, Mommy," Leo said sweetly.
Julianne knelt down and hugged her boy very tight again.
"We are going to make this house a happy home now."
Mark smiled and put his hand on Julianne's dark shoulder.
"The repair crew will fix the broken greenhouse glass tomorrow."
"We will plant new flowers in those broken clay pots," Julianne decided.
Arthur packed his briefcase and shook Julianne's dry hand firmly.
"The estate is completely safe in your legal hands now," Arthur said.
He walked out into the bright afternoon sun near the driveway.
Julianne looked around the large grand living room space slowly.
The fake gold luxury was gone, replaced by real honest truth.
She held her son's small hand as they walked to the garden.
The water in the blue pool was calm and smooth now.
No more fear or dark secrets lived inside these white walls.
Julianne knew her father was finally resting in peace above.
She had protected her family and claimed what was rightfully theirs.
