The morning sun cut through the heavy silk drapes of the Dallas mansion.
Elena adjusted her white apron as she walked across the marble foyer.
She had worked for the Sterling family for over eight years.
Arthur Sterling was a famous real estate developer across North Texas.
His massive house sat on a quiet street in Turtle Creek.
Despite all his wealth, Arthur was a lonely man at heart.
His first wife had passed away several years ago during a storm.
Six months ago, Arthur married a younger woman named Clara.
Clara brought excitement and modern style into the quiet, grand house.
However, Elena quickly noticed that Clara cared mostly about money.
Clara spent thousands of dollars every week on designer shopping trips.
She rarely spoke to the house staff unless she was complaining.
Three weeks ago, Arthur brought home his newborn son, baby Leo.
The child was the light of Arthur's life and sole heir.
Arthur wanted his young son to inherit the entire family trust.
Clara seemed deeply unhappy whenever Arthur held the tiny infant.
She realized the baby stood between her and Arthur's massive estate.
Elena spent every single evening looking after little baby Leo upstairs.
She loved the gentle baby like he was her own family.
One morning, Arthur had to fly to Houston for a meeting.
Clara stayed behind in the Dallas house with the young infant.
Elena walked down the hallway carrying freshly washed baby clothes.
She suddenly heard angry yelling coming from the master study room.
Clara was talking on her cell phone with her door open.
Clara: He left everything in the trust for the baby!
Clara: If that child is here, I get practically nothing at all!
Elena stopped in her tracks and held her breath quietly.
Her heart pounded fast as she listened to Clara's harsh voice.
Clara: I need to find a way to cancel those papers.
Elena quietly backed away before Clara could see her in the hall.
She knew that Clara was planning something dangerous against the family.
Elena promised herself that she would protect baby Leo no matter what.
She returned to the nursery and rocked the sleeping baby gently.
The house was silent, but Elena felt a strange cold chill.
She knew that big trouble was coming to the Sterling home.
