Loud police sirens began wailing loudly outside the large ballroom glass windows.
Clara had called the local police department right before she rushed inside.
Alex backed into a tall flower pillar, knocking red vases onto the floor.
He looked around like a trapped animal with nowhere left to run away.
Alex: Sarah, please help me! You know how much I love you!
Sarah: Do not ever say my name again, you fake, evil human!
Sarah pulled off her diamond engagement ring and threw it at him.
The costly ring bounced off Alex’s chest and fell onto the floor.
Four police officers rushed into the ballroom with their hands on holsters.
They immediately spotted Alex standing cornered near the shattered flower vases.
Police Officer: Alex Miller, put your hands behind your head right now!
Alex tried to push past the officers, but they tackled him down quickly.
They pinned him to the marble floor and placed heavy metal handcuffs on him.
Alex: You cannot arrest me! This is my family’s private property!
Police Officer: You are under arrest for attempted murder and kidnapping, sir.
Paramedics rushed into the room carrying a large blue medical stretcher kit.
They carefully lifted old Mark out of the casket and checked his pulse.
Mark looked over at Clara and gave her hand a gentle squeeze.
Mark: You saved my life, Clara... thank you for not giving up.
Clara: I will always protect you, Mark... no matter what happens.
Sarah stood beside them, feeling a massive weight lift off her shoulders.
She wiped away her tears and unzipped the long bridal dress veil.
She threw the lace veil onto the floor right next to Alex’s ring.
Alex was dragged out of the ballroom in heavy silver handcuffs crying.
The guests watched in silence as the corrupt heir was taken away.
