Alexander: You thought you could get away with harming my child under our own roof?
Victoria: Stay away from me, Alexander! If you lay a hand on me, my divorce lawyers will strip you bare!
Driven by an explosive, uncontrollable wave of rage, Alexander charged forward across the open marble floor. Driven by pure protective fury, he closed the distance between them with terrifying speed and lethal precision. Victoria shrieked in absolute terror, stumbling backward against the ornate wooden staircase railing as she realized her threats were useless. Alexander towered over her, his chest heaving with heavy breaths as all his corporate composure melted away completely. Without a moment's hesitation, he brought his hand across her face in a brutal, lightning-fast motion. Three hard, sharp impact slap sound effects rang out in rapid succession, echoing off the high vaulted ceilings of the foyer. The sheer force of the blows knocked Victoria completely off balance, sending her staggering backward against the carved banister. She clutched her burning cheek in sheer shock and agony, a gasping cry escaping her bruised lips as tears welled in her eyes. The emerald green gown bunched up awkwardly around her waist as she collapsed halfway onto the polished steps. Gasps rippled through the gathered estate staff who watched the unprecedented public humiliation unfold in real time. Clara instinctively pulled Liam's head deeper into her shoulder to shield the boy from witnessing the raw violence. Alexander stood over his disgraced wife, his tailored dark suit jacket flaring out as he pointed an accusing finger. The American flag hanging proudly in the background seemed to look down with stern approval upon the meting out of immediate justice. Victoria whimpered softly, spitting a trace of blood from her split lip as she stared up in utter disbelief. She had spent a decade manipulating high society, believing her wealth and beauty made her completely untouchable. Now, stripped of her armor of lies, she looked like a cornered animal facing the righteous wrath of a betrayed billionaire. Alexander's voice dropped into a low, terrifying register that brooked no argument and left zero room for appeal.
Alexander: How does it feel to face the consequences of your own cold-blooded cruelty?
Victoria: You hit me... you actually struck your own wife in front of the servants!
Alexander: You stopped being my wife the second you tried to throw my son off that balcony.
Victoria: My family will ruin your corporate empire for this! You'll be locked in a courtroom forever!
Alexander: Let your family try. They can visit you in a federal holding cell while you await trial.
Clara: Mr. Vance, please, the boy needs medical attention and a calm environment right now.
Alexander: You are completely right, Clara. Let's get him away from this toxic monster.
Alexander turned his back on the sprawling woman, kneeling once more to check on his trembling son.
Liam: Are you going to send her away forever, Daddy?
Alexander: Yes, son. She is never coming back into this home ever again.
