The grand foyer of the mansion was bright and flooded with afternoon sunlight.
Victoria adjusted the collar of her silk blue dress and smoothed her hair.
She looked down the polished marble staircase toward the massive front doors.
Beside her stood the high-end baby stroller holding small newborn baby Leo.
Leo was sleeping quietly under a soft blue blanket without making a sound.
Victoria watched the front door like she was waiting for an important signal.
She heard footsteps coming down the long hallway near the kitchen area.
Elena, the young family maid in a grey uniform, walked quickly into view.
Elena carried a stack of freshly folded white towels toward the linen closet.
Victoria took a quick breath and placed her hand on the stroller handle.
With a fast nudge, she sent the wheels rolling forward toward the stairs.
The heavy carriage picked up speed along the slick, polished floor.
Elena dropped the stack of towels instantly as her eyes went wide with fear.
She dove across the hard marble floor without thinking about herself at all.
Elena slid on her knees and caught the frame of the stroller safely.
She held the baby carriage tight against her chest to stop its momentum.
Little Leo woke up and let out a small, soft cry of surprise.
Elena gasped for air as her heart hammered against her ribs inside.
Victoria immediately started shouting down from the top step of the stairs.
Her voice echoed loudly off the high ceilings and white walls around them.
"What are you doing to my baby!" Victoria screamed across the foyer.
Elena looked up from the floor with complete confusion written on her face.
"I caught him, ma'am!" Elena shouted back with her voice trembling heavily.
Victoria hurried down the steps with an angry look on her clean face.
She grabbed the stroller handle and yanked it away from the scared maid.
The heavy front doors of the house suddenly swung open with a loud thud.
Adrian walked into the home carrying his dark leather briefcase in hand.
He was followed closely by his twelve-year-old daughter Chloe and a security guard.
Adrian stopped in his tracks as he saw the chaotic scene in front.
Victoria turned toward him right away with tears forming in her dark eyes.
She pointed a finger directly at Elena who was still kneeling down low.
"Adrian, help!" Victoria cried out with a desperate tone in her voice.
"She pushed my baby down the stairs on purpose!" Victoria claimed loudly.
Adrian felt a surge of panic shoot straight through his entire chest area.
He dropped his expensive leather bag right onto the smooth marble floor.
He rushed over to Elena and grabbed her by the shoulders forcefully.
"What did you do?!" Adrian roared directly into the young maid's face.
Elena shook her head frantically as cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
"I didn't push it, sir!" Elena pleaded with tears streaming down fast.
"I jumped to save him before he fell down the stairs!" she begged.
Victoria stepped right next to Adrian and pulled on his dark suit coat.
"She is lying to save her job!" Victoria insisted with a harsh voice.
"Fire her right now and call the police!" Victoria demanded right away.
Adrian glared at Elena like he was ready to end her career forever.
The maid trembled on the cold floor, unable to speak another clear word.
