The bright sun shone over the large estate in Dallas on a warm afternoon.
Elena adjusted her apron as she wiped down the wooden patio tables.
She had worked for the family for over two years with pure dedication.
Her main job was caring for little Noah and keeping the house tidy.
Victoria walked out of the back doors wearing an expensive magenta dress.
Her face carried a sharp frown as she watched Elena finish her work.
Victoria: You missed a spot on the glass door, Elena.
Elena: I will clean it right away, Mrs. Sterling.
Victoria sneered as she folded her arms across her chest.
She had never liked how much Mark trusted Elena with the estate.
Mark was a busy businessman who valued honest hard work above everything.
He often praised Elena for keeping the household running so smoothly.
That praise filled Victoria with deep resentment and constant jealousy.
She wanted full control over the family fortune and every decision.
Victoria: You think you own this house just because Mark likes you.
Elena: I am only doing my job to support my family, ma'am.
Victoria: Your job is whatever I say it is, remember that.
Elena kept her head down and picked up her cleaning spray.
She knew arguing with Victoria would only create more unnecessary trouble.
Victoria walked closer to the edge of the large swimming pool.
The custom blue baby stroller sat parked near the water edge.
Noah was taking his afternoon nap inside his nursery on the upper floor.
Victoria looked at the heavy carriage and then looked back at Elena.
A cold idea formed inside her mind as she smiled slyly.
Victoria: Let us see if Mark keeps you after today.
Elena: What do you mean by that, Mrs. Sterling?
Victoria grabbed the leather handle of the stroller with both hands.
She pushed the empty carriage forward into the swimming pool.
The metal frame hit the water with a loud crashing splash.
Elena gasped in horror as water sprayed high into the air.
She thought little Noah might have been placed inside without her knowledge.
Fear gripped her heart as she ran toward the churning water.
