Richard took a deep breath to regain control of his racing heart.
He pointed down the hallway and ordered Victoria to pack her things.
He shouted at her to leave his house immediately before he called the police.
Victoria stumbled backward into the wall, her eyes filled with bitter anger.
She yelled that he could not kick her out of her own home.
Richard pulled out his mobile phone and immediately dialed his corporate lawyer.
He placed the call on speaker so Victoria could hear every single word.
He demanded an emergency freeze on all joint accounts and credit lines.
He also asked for an immediate divorce lawyer to draft restraining documents.
Victoria watched in silence as her life of luxury crumbled around her.
She admitted that she felt trapped by the family's strict prenuptial agreement.
The agreement gave her nothing if she walked away from the marriage early.
She thought creating an tragic accident would guarantee her the estate money.
Richard shook his head in absolute disgust as he listened to her confession.
He realized that his child had been in terrible danger all along.
Downstairs, Elena rocked baby Chloe gently until the child stopped crying.
The house was quiet now except for the loud voices upstairs.
Elena kept a firm grip on the baby, refusing to let go.
She knew that she had saved a life that morning.
Police sirens began to sound off in the distance down the drive.
