The heavy mahogany doors of the living room burst open with a loud thud.
Julian stepped into the room wearing a sharp dark grey suit after returning from his flight.
He stopped in his tracks as he looked at the wild scene before his eyes.
The room was in total disarray, with an iron unplugged on the floor carpet.
Ruby immediately fell to her knees and began to sob hysterically like an innocent victim.
She rubbed her wrist and pointed a shaking finger at Elena holding the little child.
Ruby: Oh Julian, thank goodness you arrived home in time to save us all!
Julian: What on earth is happening in this house right now?
Ruby: She lost her mind completely and tried to attack your sweet baby boy!
Elena gasped in disbelief as she heard the wicked lie coming from Ruby's lips.
Julian looked at Elena with dark, furious eyes that showed no hesitation or doubt.
He walked over with heavy steps and grabbed the baby safely into his left arm.
Without asking a single question, he pushed Elena away with a harsh, strong force.
Elena fell back onto the cold marble floor, scraping her knee against the hard stone.
She looked up at Julian with tears pouring down her pale, bruised cheeks.
Elena: Julian, please listen to me for one second before you judge me!
Julian: Get out of my sight before I call the police to take you away!
Ruby: She is dangerous, Julian, throw her out on the street immediately!
Elena felt her stomach turn as she realized Julian was completely fooled by the act.
Ruby stood behind Julian with a cold, triumphant smirk resting on her face.
The baby continued to cry loudly in Julian's unfamiliar and tense arms.
Elena knew she could not win a verbal argument against a woman who lied so easily.
She needed concrete evidence to prove what really happened inside that quiet room.
She reached into her dark trousers pocket while lying on the smooth marble floor.
Her fingers closed around a tiny, cold piece of metal hidden deep inside her pocket.
It was a silver USB drive containing secret files from the house security system.
She had installed a small camera weeks ago after noticing strange items going missing daily.
She raised the drive high into the bright air so Julian could clearly see it.
Elena: Stop listening to her lies and look at what this drive contains!
Julian: What is that supposed to be, Elena?
Elena: It is the full video recording from the hidden camera near the crib!
Ruby's fake tears stopped instantly as her face went completely pale and silent.
