Mark walked down the grand staircase toward Victoria lying on the floor.
He pulled out his phone again and dialed three numbers very fast.
Mark: I need the police at my address immediately for child endangerment.
Victoria scrambled across the hard floor to grab at Mark's leather shoes.
Victoria: Cancel that call right now or I will ruin your reputation!
Victoria: I will tell the news that you neglected your own daughter!
Mark pulled his foot away from her grasp with disgust in his eye.
Mark: The security footage will show the world who you really are.
The grand front doors opened wide as two security guards rushed inside.
They worked for the private gated community where Mark lived quietly.
Mark: Hold this woman here until the police officers arrive right now.
The two guards stepped forward and held Victoria by her yellow arms.
She screamed and kicked her legs against the bright marble floor plates.
Victoria: Get your filthy hands off my dress right this instant!
Victoria: Mark, you cannot do this to me after everything we built!
Mark stood tall near the American flag hanging on the high wall.
He looked at Victoria with cold disgust and complete absolute clarity today.
Mark: You tried to harm the most innocent life in this house.
Mark: You will face full criminal charges in a court of law.
Two city police officers walked through the front entrance moments later today.
Mark handed his phone to the lead officer with the video ready.
The officer watched the clear clip and shook his head with anger.
Police Officer: Ma'am, stand up, you are under arrest for attempted murder.
They put cold steel handcuffs behind Victoria's wrist with a loud click.
She wept loudly as they pulled her toward the dark patrol car.
Her yellow dress dragged along the dirty driveway outside the front steps.
The heavy front doors swung shut with a firm sound of finality.
Mark turned around and looked up at the quiet upper balcony floor.
He felt a deep sense of horror at what almost happened today.
He walked up the grand staircase toward his daughter's safe room above.
He knew he owed everything to the honest maid he almost doubted.
