Victoria gasped sharply, holding her hand over her chest as if she was deeply offended by his demands.
Victoria: I am your lawful wife, Mark, you cannot simply throw me out like trash!
Mark: You crossed a line today that can never be fixed or forgiven by anyone!
He pointed again toward the massive front exit, his voice echoing off the tall marble walls with power.
Mark: Take your personal coat and leave this property right now!
Victoria sneered coldly, turning her head away as she pulled her thick beige coat around her shoulders.
Victoria: Fine, but my lawyer will be contacting your legal firm first thing tomorrow morning!
She clunked down the grand stairs in her expensive heels, storming toward the front glass doors with anger.
Mark watched her exit through the front doorway before walking over to pick up his crying daughter again.
He carried Lily into the warm living room and placed her gently on the comfortable leather sofa.
Mark: You are completely safe now, Lily, I promise you she will never hurt you again.
Lily: Daddy, she was looking through your metal safe in the study yesterday afternoon.
Mark froze in place, his eyes widening as he looked into his daughter's honest blue eyes.
Mark: What did you see her doing in my study, sweetie?
Lily: She had a red folder and was taking photos of your business papers with her phone.
Mark's heart sank into his stomach as he realized the danger went far deeper than cruel behavior.
He rushed down the carpeted hallway into his private home study and opened the heavy iron safe.
The red folder containing the original trust fund documents for Lily's future inheritance was completely empty.
Mark pulled out his smartphone with shaking hands and dialed his primary corporate attorney immediately.
Mark: David, we have a major emergency regarding my estate and trust documents!
David: Mark, calm down, tell me what happened in your home today.
Mark: Victoria stole the legal papers for Lily's trust fund right out of my private safe!
David: I warned you to review her prenuptial terms three months ago, Mark.
Mark sat down at his desk, realizing he had ignored red flags because he wanted a mother for Lily.
Mark: What was she trying to accomplish by taking those specific original documents?
David: If those trust papers disappear, she can claim partial rights to your entire family estate!
Mark clenched his fist tightly against the desk, his knuckles turning completely white from the extreme tension.
Mark: Find where she went, David, and hire a private investigator right this minute!
David: I will track her vehicle location and check her bank transfers right away.
Mark hung up the call and pulled Lily close, swearing to protect her future no matter the cost.
