Rachel entered the silent mansion early that bright morning.
The sunlight poured through the floor to ceiling glass windows.
She walked toward the large modern kitchen near the hallway.
Everything inside the house seemed quiet and perfectly peaceful.
Little Noah was sleeping softly inside his sweet wooden crib.
Rachel smiled as she placed her coat on the chair.
She loved caring for the innocent seven month old boy.
His mother Victoria had hired her just two months ago.
Victoria always acted distant and very cold toward the baby.
She seemed more interested in her expensive designer silk dresses.
Rachel noticed a heavy iron sitting hot on the counter.
The steam rose slowly into the cool air of the room.
Victoria stood right beside the counter looking very nervous today.
Her hands were trembling as she held the hot handle tightly.
Rachel stepped forward slowly with deep concern in her eyes.
Rachel: Victoria, is everything okay with you this morning?
Victoria turned around quickly with a sharp and angry look.
Victoria: Mind your own business and step back right now.
Rachel felt a sudden chill run down her entire spine.
She noticed the strange look in the wealthy woman's eyes.
Victoria stepped closer to the crib where Noah was resting.
The baby opened his blue eyes and began to cry softly.
Rachel acted instantly without thinking about her own personal safety.
She jumped forward to pull the hot appliance far away.
Rachel: Put that down right now!
Victoria: Get your hands off me right this second!
Rachel gripped Victoria's wrists to hold her completely still.
The two women struggled back and forth near the counter.
Victoria scratched Rachel across her right cheek during the fight.
Rachel ignored the sharp pain blooming across her skin.
She forced Victoria backward away from the soft wooden crib.
She quickly reached into the crib and grabbed the baby.
Noah screamed loudly as Rachel held him close to her chest.
Rachel: I will never let you touch this child!
Victoria: You are fired as of this exact moment!
Rachel: I do not care! Stay far away from him!
Footsteps echoed loudly down the long polished hardwood hallway.
