The heavy sound of police sirens echoed in the driveway.
Two city police officers walked into the grand estate foyer.
Arthur descended the staircase with the physical video evidence stored safely.
Victoria walked down surrounded by the strict estate security guards.
Her emerald green sequined dress no longer looked elegant at all.
She looked small and defeated under the harsh hallway lights.
Police Officer: Mr. Vance, we received your urgent call regarding assault.
Arthur: This woman shoved my young son down the stairs.
Arthur: We have complete digital video proof of the incident.
Police Officer: Ma'am, you need to come with us right now.
Victoria: This is a massive legal misunderstanding between spouses!
Police Officer: The video footage tells a very clear story, ma'am.
The female officer pulled Victoria's hands behind her back.
The metallic click of handcuffs sounded through the bright room.
Victoria gasped in total shock as the cold metal locked.
Victoria: You cannot do this to me, Arthur!
Arthur: You brought this complete ruin upon yourself today.
Julian: Good riddance to bad rubbish, Victoria.
The police led the crying stepmother toward the front doors.
She looked back one last time with deep regret in her eyes.
Her dreams of vast wealth and status vanished into thin air.
The front doors slammed shut tightly behind the departing police officers.
Silence fell over the massive estate for the first time today.
Arthur turned to face Sarah and his young son Julian.
He walked over and knelt down to hug his child tightly.
Arthur: I am so deeply sorry I brought her here.
Julian: It is okay, Dad, we are safe now.
Arthur: You saved my son today, Sarah, and I am grateful.
Sarah: I promised his mother I would always watch over him.
Arthur stood up and took a deep breath of clean air.
Arthur: You will never be just a housekeeper to us again.
Arthur: I am naming you Julian's official full-time guardian while I work.
Sarah wiped a happy tear from her warm and tired cheek.
She smiled brightly at the young boy who hugged her tightly.
