David snatched the silver locket from the child's neck with shaking fingers.
He pressed the small latch on the side until the metal shell popped open.
Inside was a tiny photograph of Sarah holding a newborn baby in a hospital.
Engraved on the left side was a birthdate that matched his missing child.
David turned his head sharply to look at Victoria who looked ready to run.
David: You told me his mother abandoned him at birth!
Sarah: She paid off the hospital staff to steal him from me!
The guests began whispering loudly to each other as the shock spread around.
Victoria reached for her purse and tried to slip out through the back door.
Two large security guards stepped in front of her and blocked the exit.
Victoria: Let me pass right now or I will fire you all!
David: Nobody is leaving this house until the police arrive here!
David reached into his suit jacket and pulled out his personal cellular phone.
He dialed three numbers quickly and held the phone up to his ear.
Sarah wiped a lone tear from her cheek while holding her child close.
The boy looked up into Sarah's eyes and stroked her soft cheek gently.
Boy: Are you my real mommy?
Sarah: Yes sweetheart, I have been looking for you every single day.
David looked down at Sarah with tears forming in his own dark eyes.
He remembered the night his wife brought home an adopted infant with paperwork.
He had trusted Victoria completely and never questioned her strange story back then.
Now the horrible truth was standing right in front of his entire family.
Victoria backed into a heavy wooden table and knocked over a silver vase.
The loud crash made everyone jump as water spilled across the floor.
Victoria: I gave him a life of luxury and endless wealth!
Sarah: You stole a child from a loving mother who searched everywhere!
