Within fifteen minutes, two police cruisers pulled up the long driveway.
Red and blue lights flashed against the wet marble foyer walls.
Two officers stepped inside the home with serious expressions.
Ethan handed the security video footage directly to the lead officer.
The officer watched the clear video clip with a stern frown.
Officer: Mrs. Sterling, you are under arrest for child endangerment.
Victoria: You cannot arrest me, I am Ethan Sterling's wife!
Ethan: Not for much longer, Victoria.
Ethan: My estate lawyers are already drafting the divorce papers.
The female officer placed metal handcuffs on Victoria's wrists.
Victoria began to cry loudly as she was led out the front door.
Her pink sequined dress dragged along the wet porch steps.
The heavy front doors closed shut, leaving the foyer silent again.
Ethan turned toward Maya with deep gratitude in his eyes.
Ethan: I do not know how I can ever repay you.
Maya: Knowing the baby is safe is all I need, sir.
Ethan: You were the only one who stood up for him today.
Ethan: You put your own safety on the line for my son.
Maya: I would do it again without a single second thought.
Ethan looked around the grand home that felt so cold before.
Ethan: I want to offer you a new position in this household.
Maya: What kind of position, Mr. Sterling?
Ethan: I want you to be Leo's full-time head nanny.
Ethan: You will have double your current salary and full living quarters.
Maya gasped in genuine surprise at the generous offer.
Maya: Are you serious, sir?
Ethan: I have never been more serious about anything in my life.
Ethan: I only trust someone who truly cares about my boy.
Maya looked down at little Leo, who was now fast asleep.
A warm smile spread across her tired face.
Maya: I would be honored to take care of him.
