Ethan sat inside his quiet office and looked at the family photograph on his wooden desk.
His life looked perfect from the outside because he owned a very successful shipping company in Florida.
He lived in a massive white mansion with marble floors and high ceilings near the ocean.
His young wife Victoria always wore expensive silk dresses and shiny diamond jewelry around her neck.
They had a tiny baby girl named Sophia who was only six months old.
Ethan loved his little daughter more than anything else in the entire world.
He worked long hours every day to make sure his family had a very soft life.
However, tension had been growing inside the luxury house for several long months.
Victoria did not like staying home to take care of a small crying baby girl.
She wanted to attend fancy galas and shop at expensive luxury stores in town every afternoon.
A quiet young maid named Elena spent most of her long days caring for baby Sophia.
Elena loved the little child as if the baby belonged to her own heart.
She noticed that Victoria often acted very cold whenever the infant cried for milk.
One sunny afternoon, Ethan stepped out of his private home office to grab some warm coffee.
The sun poured through the massive front windows of the grand white foyer upstairs.
Victoria stood near the high balcony railing on the second floor with the tiny baby girl.
Elena was polishing the light marble floor down near the front entrance of the mansion.
The maid looked up and froze in terror when she saw Victoria's sharp cold face.
Victoria held the small crying baby far over the edge of the high white railing.
Her fingers unclasped deliberately as if the child meant nothing to her at all.
Elena let out a loud scream and ran forward across the shiny marble floor below.
She dove across the hard room with her arms outstretched toward the falling infant child.
The young maid caught little Sophia safely against her soft chest right before impact.
She slid hard onto the floor and held the tiny trembling infant very tightly.
Tears spilled out of Elena's dark eyes as she sobbed in pure emotional shock.
The baby whimpered softly against Elena's slate-gray maid uniform while the house stayed silent.
