Sarah adjusted her plain white apron as she walked through the high wooden doors.
The mansion belonged to Ethan Vance, a young man who managed a massive real estate estate.
His sweet wife had passed away shortly after giving birth to little baby Leo.
Since that sad day, Ethan was completely broken and lost in his heavy grief.
He hired Sarah to handle the daily house chores and care for the nursery.
Sarah took her job very seriously because she adored the sweet little infant.
She always made sure the baby had clean clothes and soft blankets every single afternoon.
However, dark clouds entered the mansion when Victoria arrived three months ago.
Victoria was a wealthy socialite who managed to capture Ethan's distracted heart.
She wore expensive blue silk dresses and spent huge sums from the family trust fund.
Yet whenever Ethan turned his back, Victoria glared at the tiny innocent baby.
She saw little Leo as an obstacle to receiving Ethan's entire fortune.
Sarah noticed the cruel looks Victoria secretly gave the helpless infant in his crib.
The brave maid decided she would always keep a sharp eye on the child.
One afternoon, the sun beamed brightly into the massive, open sunlit living room.
Ethan was upstairs in his office, reviewing an important business contract for his firm.
Sarah was polishing silver frames down the hall when she heard tiny whimpers.
The soft cries soon turned into terrified screams that echoed through the grand house.
Sarah dropped her cleaning cloth instantly as her heart began to beat wildly.
She rushed toward the living room to see what was happening to the child.
When she reached the wide archway, her blood turned ice cold inside her veins.
Victoria was standing directly over the baby rug holding a heavy gray bottle.
The bottle was filled with steaming hot water meant to warm the nursery sheets.
Victoria leaned down low, her cold blue eyes full of pure hatred and anger.
She held the scalding bottle inches away from the trembling, defenseless baby boy.
Victoria: Quiet down you worthless brat!
Victoria: You will never ruin my life in this house!
Sarah did not hesitate for even a single second to protect the child.
She sprinted forward across the polished floor with every ounce of her strength.
