Arthur reached the top of the stairs in record time.
His face flushed red with intense emotion.
He cornered Victoria right next to the thick railing.
Arthur: What did you just do to my daughter?
Victoria: She was slipping out of her blanket!
Arthur: Elena said you let go on purpose!
Victoria: You believe a maid over your own wife?
Arthur: Elena saved my baby's life!
Victoria: I was just trying to adjust her wrap!
Arthur pointed his finger right into Victoria's face.
Arthur: Get out... Call 911!
Victoria: Arthur, please listen to me for one second!
Arthur: Do not step another foot near this child!
Victoria: I am the mother of this household!
Arthur: You are a monster if this is true!
Elena carried little Lily up the stairs very carefully.
She held the baby close so she felt safe.
Arthur took his daughter into his strong arms instantly.
His tears dripped onto the baby's soft white blanket.
Victoria backed away toward the master bedroom door.
Her cold expression returned when Arthur turned his back.
Victoria: You are making a huge mistake, Arthur.
Arthur: My attorney will be here within the hour.
Victoria: You cannot change the terms of the trust!
Arthur: Watch me change every single detail right now.
Elena stood firmly beside her boss on the landing.
She was not afraid of Victoria anymore.
Elena: I saw your fingers open up slowly.
Elena: You looked around before you did it.
Victoria: Keep your mouth shut, Elena!
Arthur: Do not raise your voice at her again!
Arthur: Elena, please take Lily to the nursery upstairs.
Elena: Yes, Mr. Sterling, right away.
Elena took the baby back into her arms gently.
She walked down the long carpeted hallway toward safety.
Behind her, the heated argument continued to rage.
Arthur demanded answers about the family inheritance.
Victoria had signed a strict prenup six months ago.
If Arthur divorced her for cause, she got nothing.
If something happened to the baby, the trust shifted.
Elena locked the nursery door securely from the inside.
She sat in the rocking chair beside the crib.
Her body still trembled from the narrow escape.
She knew Victoria would fight back dirty now.
The secret hidden inside the estate was ready to blow.
