The heavy white bathroom door swung open with a loud crash.
Mark stood in the doorway dressed in his sharp suit.
His hair was wet from rain, and his eyes flamed red.
He saw his sweet daughter dripping wet in her wheelchair shivering.
He saw Victoria standing over her with an aggressive face still.
The scene was even worse than what he heard over phone.
Mark: Don't touch her! She did nothing wrong! Get away!
Victoria's face froze in absolute shock and total terror instantly.
Her hand flew to her cheek as she gasped in disbelief.
She stepped backward quickly, slipping slightly on the wet floor.
Victoria: Mark! It... it isn't what it looks like!
Mark: Shut your mouth right now, Victoria!
Mark rushed past her and shut the shower valve off completely.
The rushing water stopped immediately, leaving only heavy dripping sounds.
Mark dropped to his knees right into the water puddles.
He wrapped a dry towel around Lily's shivering small body.
Mark: Lily! Oh God, Lily, I am so sorry!
Lily: Daddy! You came back! She was so mean!
Mark: I know, baby. I heard everything over Elena's phone.
Victoria turned pale as sheet as she looked at Elena.
She realized Elena had secretly called Mark during the fight.
Victoria: Mark, please listen! The child was misbehaving badly today!
Mark: Misbehaving? She is in a wheelchair, Victoria!
Victoria: She was trying to ruin our family finances!
Mark: You were trying to steal her mother's trust fund!
Mark stood up slowly, looking taller and stronger than ever.
His gaze was so icy that Victoria stepped back again.
Mark: Elena, please wheel Lily into her warm bedroom now.
Elena: Right away, Mr. Mark. Come sweetie, let's go.
Elena carefully rolled Lily out of the soaked master bathroom.
Lily held onto her towel tightly, feeling safe at last.
Mark stepped closer to Victoria, blocking her path to hallway.
Mark: You have five minutes to pack your personal things.
Victoria: Mark, you can't throw me out like this!
Mark: Watch me, Victoria. The police are already on way.
Victoria gasped as her eyes filled with sudden fake tears.
Victoria: I loved you! I did everything for this house!
Mark: You abused my innocent daughter for money and power.
He pulled his phone out and pressed the speaker button.
The voice of police dispatcher filled the quiet marble bathroom.
