Arthur dropped the open envelope onto the laundry cart, letting the incriminating pages scatter across the fresh white towels[cite: 5]. He turned around slowly, his face hardened into a mask of cold, unyielding fury as he looked down at the woman he had trusted with his fortune[cite: 5].
Arthur: Security! Get into this foyer immediately and lock down every exit[cite: 5]!
Victoria: You can't throw me out like a criminal! My family will sue you into bankruptcy[cite: 5]!
Arthur: Your family won't have enough money left to pay a parking ticket once the district attorney finishes auditing your accounts[cite: 5]!
Two massive estate security guards burst through the side doors, halting instantly at the sight of the confrontation[cite: 5].
Security Head: Mr. Vance? You called for assistance, sir[cite: 5]?
Arthur: Escort Victoria off my property right now, and hold her in the gatehouse until the state police arrive to take her into custody[cite: 5]!
Victoria: Don't you dare touch me! I'll walk out under my own power, you ungrateful cowards[cite: 5]!
Security Head: Move it, ma'am. Hands behind your back, let's make this easy[cite: 5]!
The guards grabbed Victoria firmly by her arms, dragging her kicking and screaming toward the massive mahogany front doors[cite: 5].
Victoria: This isn't over, Arthur! You'll regret choosing a maid over a queen[cite: 5]!
Arthur: The only thing I regret is ever letting you cross this threshold[cite: 5]!
The heavy doors slammed shut behind Victoria, cutting off her shrill cries and plunging the grand foyer back into a deep, resonant silence[cite: 5]. Arthur let out a long, ragged breath, turning his attention back to Elena, who stood quietly beside her cart with tears still shining in her eyes[cite: 5].
Arthur: Elena... I am so sorry for every second of pain she put you through[cite: 5]!
Elena: Just protect our baby, Arthur. That's all I ever wanted from the beginning[cite: 5]!
Arthur: From this moment on, you aren't working in this house—you are the mistress of this estate, and we are going to build a real family[cite: 5]!
