Thirty minutes later two local police officers pulled up the long driveway in a dark patrol car.
Attorney Marcus Vance arrived right behind them carrying a thick leather legal briefcase.
They all walked into the main living room where Elena sat under security guard supervision.
Marcus: Elena Vance, you are being served with an immediate order of protection and eviction.
Elena: You cannot kick me out of this mansion, I signed a legal marriage contract!
Marcus: That contract contained a strict clause regarding child endangerment and trust fraud.
The police officer stepped forward and pulled out a pair of silver metal handcuffs.
Officer: Ma'am, you are also under arrest for child endangerment based on recorded house security footage.
Elena turned pale as she looked over at the small security cameras built into the ceiling.
Elena: Arthur, please do not do this to me, we can work this out together!
Arthur: You showed no mercy to a helpless infant, Elena, so expect none from me.
Elena: I made a mistake, please give me one more chance!
Arthur: Take her away from my property right now, officers.
The police officers escorted Elena down the wide front steps toward the waiting squad car.
Her loud screams faded into the distance as the police car door slammed shut tightly.
Arthur turned to face his trusted attorney and the loyal housemaid Maria.
Arthur: Marcus, file full custody papers and remove her name from every account today.
Marcus: It will be completely finalized by tomorrow afternoon, Arthur.
Arthur: Maria, I am promoting you to full estate manager with triple your previous salary.
Maria: Oh, Mr. Vance, thank you so much, I will always care for Toby like family!
Arthur held his sleeping son close against his chest as peace returned to the grand house.
