Elena did not hesitate for a single second before taking action.
She kicked off her shoes and dove straight into the deep pool.
The cold water wrapped around her as she swam downward quickly.
Her eyes opened under the bubbles to find the sinking stroller.
She grabbed the metal frame and pulled it toward the surface.
Her lungs burned as she kicked her legs with all her strength.
She broke through the surface of the water and gasped for air.
She pulled the stroller onto the tiled edge of the deck.
Her hands shook as she unbuckled the wet padded cover instantly.
She pulled open the blanket only to find it completely empty.
Relief washed over her, but her heart continued to beat wildly.
Elena: Thank God he was not inside!
Victoria: You crazy woman, look what you have done!
Victoria began screaming loudly toward the open doors of the house.
She pulled her own hair to make herself look deeply distressed.
Victoria: Help! Someone help us out by the pool!
Elena pulled herself out of the water, soaked and breathless.
She wiped water from her eyes as she stood on the tiles.
Elena: You pushed it in on purpose, Mrs. Sterling!
Victoria: Shut your mouth if you know what is good for you!
The heavy glass doors flew open with a loud banging noise.
Mark rushed outside with little Noah held safely in his arms.
He looked at the wet patio and the dripping metal stroller.
His face showed total shock and confusion at the chaotic scene.
Mark: What is going on out here right now?
Victoria: She tried to drown the stroller to hurt our family!
Elena backed away in total disbelief as Victoria began to cry fake tears.
Elena: That is a complete lie, Mr. Sterling!
