Victoria moved forward with sudden force and knocked Sarah off her physical balance entirely.
Sarah stumbled back into the delicate glass display table standing in the middle room.
The thick glass top cracked loudly and shattered into hundreds of clear glowing fragments.
Sarah fell sideways onto the hard marble floor near the broken pieces of glass.
She gasped for breath as pain radiated through her arm from the sudden fall.
Victoria stood over her with tears streaming down her pale and angry face.
Her cold expression did not match the tears flowing steadily down her cheeks now.
Victoria: You were never meant to stay in this house with us, Sarah.
Sarah tried to push herself up using her hands on the polished smooth floor.
Sarah: Why are you doing this to me on the day of the signing?
Victoria leaned down slightly toward Sarah while holding her red velvet dress tight.
Victoria: Because you took away the affection that belonged only to me for years.
Sarah looked up at Victoria with complete shock and disbelief in her clear eyes.
Sarah: I only ever wanted to be a real sister to you, Victoria.
Victoria wiped her face quickly but her eyes remained sharp and filled with spite.
Victoria: You stole my father's attention and you ruined my place in this home.
Sarah felt a deep sadness in her heart as she looked at her stepsister.
She realized that no amount of kindness would ever soften Victoria's hard heart.
The silence in the grand foyer was suddenly broken by heavy rushing footsteps outside.
The massive dark double doors swung open wide with a loud echoing thud sound.
David stepped into the sunlit room wearing his tailored black tuxedo for the event.
He froze immediately near the doorway as he looked across the damaged marble hall.
David: What in the world just happened in this room right now, Sarah?
Victoria instantly dropped to her knees and let out a dramatic high-pitched cry.
Victoria: David, thank goodness you arrived! Sarah attacked me without any warning at all!
Sarah stared at Victoria in total amazement as the lie spun through the air.
Sarah: Victoria, how can you say such a terrible falsehood to David right now?
David looked down at Sarah sitting on the floor surrounded by broken glass pieces.
His face turned dark red as a wave of intense anger washed over him.
David: Victoria, stop speaking right now and step away from Sarah this instant.
