Victoria stared at the gaping hole in the corridor wall with burning anger.
Her eyes drifted from the broken plaster directly to the trembling housemaid.
Victoria: How dare you destroy my home while my husband is present!
Arthur: Look at what was behind this paneling, Victoria!
Victoria: That child was supposed to remain quiet in his designated room!
Arthur: You put our little boy inside a sealed hidden compartment?
Victoria: He was disobedient and needed to learn a proper lesson today!
Elena clasped her hands together in complete shock at those cold words.
Arthur held his crying son closer against his chest to protect him.
Arthur: This is complete madness and deliberate cruelty toward a child!
Victoria: You spend all your time working and building your corporate empire!
Victoria: You have no idea how difficult it is to manage this boy!
Arthur: That gives you no right to lock him behind structural drywall!
Victoria took two fast steps toward Elena with her hand raised high.
Victoria: You stupid maid, you ruined everything I worked to build here!
Arthur stepped firmly between his angry wife and the brave housemaid.
He pointed a stern finger directly toward the grand front entrance doors.
Arthur: Do not you dare step any closer to this woman, Victoria!
Victoria: She is just a hired worker who disrupted my household orders!
Arthur: She saved my son while you committed a horrific crime!
Victoria: Arthur, you cannot possibly take her side over your legal wife!
Arthur: I am calling the authorities right now to report this act.
Victoria's face turned completely pale as Arthur reached for his smartphone.
Victoria: Please, Arthur, do not bring the police into our private home!
Arthur: Get out of my house right now before they arrive here!
Victoria backed away as Arthur began dialing the central emergency number.
She clutched her expensive designer handbag and stumbled backward in panic.
Victoria: You will regret turning against me for a simple servant!
She turned around and fled down the long marble corridor toward the door.
The heavy front door slammed shut with a resounding echo across the foyer.
Timmy buried his small wet face into his father's clean collar.
Arthur looked at Elena with tears forming in his own tired eyes.
Arthur: I can never repay you for what you did today, Elena.
Elena: I only did what any decent human being would do, sir.
Arthur: You saved my young boy from a terrible nightmare inside there.
He carried Timmy down the hall toward the comfortable formal living room.
Elena picked up the fallen heavy hammer and placed it aside safely.
She began clearing the dusty pieces of broken drywall from the path.
The police sirens began to sound in the distance down the quiet driveway.
