Richard pointed his finger straight at the doorway with total, unbreakable authority.
Richard: You are fired effective right this second, get out of my sight!
Victoria: You cannot talk to me like that after everything I did!
Richard: My daughter will never serve you, and neither will this house!
Victoria gasped loudly as the reality of her situation hit her hard.
She looked around the grand room, realizing her high position was completely gone.
Victoria: I will collect my personal belongings from the main office first.
Richard: You will touch nothing and leave this property right this second!
He pulled out his mobile phone and dialed security with quick, sharp movements.
Richard: Escort this woman off my land immediately and never let her back.
Victoria's face turned pale as she realized she had lost everything today.
She picked up her purse hurriedly and rushed out of the master suite.
The loud clicking of her heels faded away quickly down the grand hallway.
Richard turned back toward his sweet little girl and knelt down beside her.
He took a clean white handkerchief from his suit pocket with soft care.
He gently wiped the dark black polish off her cheeks and tiny hands.
Richard: I am so sorry I was not here to protect you sooner.
Lily: I am just glad you came back home to me, Daddy.
Richard wrapped his arms around Lily and held her close once again.
He promised himself that he would always protect her from cruel people.
Justice had been served, and peace returned to the grand estate home.
Lily smiled warmly as her father carried her downstairs toward the warm kitchen.
