Arthur knelt down on the cold floor and gathered Leo into his arms.
He held the baby close to his chest and kissed his small forehead.
Arthur: You are safe now, my son, no one will ever hurt you again.
Leo stopped crying slowly and buried his head into his father's coat.
Two security guards stepped inside and escorted the yelling Victoria outside.
Her high heels clicked loudly until the front doors slammed firmly shut.
The vast house became quiet and peaceful once again after she left.
Arthur turned to Elena with deep gratitude showing in his tired eyes.
Arthur: I do not know how to thank you for protecting my child today.
Elena: I love little Leo like my own, sir, I could never let her harm him.
Arthur: You are the most loyal person in this house, Elena.
He stood up and offered Elena a permanent role as head house manager.
He promised to raise her salary and treat her like real family.
Elena smiled softly as little Leo reached out to touch her hand.
The dark shadow over the Sterling home was finally gone for good.
Arthur knew that real love meant protecting the ones who need it most.
