Jillian backed away slowly into the wide living room area.
Arthur stepped forward with a cruel smile on his face.
Arthur: You cannot win against me in my house, Jillian.
Jillian: This house belongs to my father, not to you!
Before Arthur could take another step forward, siren sounds blared.
Red and blue lights flashed brightly through the tall windows.
Three police cars pulled up fast on the gravel driveway.
Attorney Marcus jumped out of the front passenger seat first.
Behind him, four uniformed police officers ran toward the door.
The lead officer kicked the front entrance open with force.
Officer: Police department! Nobody move a single step!
Arthur turned pale as the officers rushed into the room.
Arthur: Officer, this is a private family matter inside here.
Marcus: It became a federal crime when you forged papers.
Marcus held up a thick legal injunction signed by a judge.
Marcus: We monitored your overseas bank transfers an hour ago.
Sarah ran into the room holding the small glass bottle.
Sarah: Here is the substance they put in his drinks!
The officer took the glass bottle carefully inside a bag.
Officer: Arthur Vance, you are under arrest for fraud and assault.
Two officers pulled Arthur's arms behind his dark coat back.
They clicked the heavy steel handcuffs tightly around his wrists.
Arthur: This is a mistake! My lawyer will fix this!
Jillian: Your lawyer cannot save you from the real truth.
They led Arthur out the front doors into the daylight.
Paramedics rushed upstairs to assist Jillian's sick elderly father.
They carried him down safely on a cushioned medical stretcher.
His eyes opened slowly as he saw Jillian standing near.
Father: Jillian... my brave little girl...
Jillian: You are safe now, dad. It is finally over.
She held his warm hand tightly as they walked out.
The sun shone brightly over the grand home's long driveway.
The long nightmare had finally come to an emotional end.
Jillian stood tall, knowing her family had taken back control.
