Heavy energetic footsteps pounded rapidly up the grand marble staircase leading to the nursery.
Richard Sterling rushed into the bright room with a look of extreme worry and anger.
His sharp blue eyes took in the entire chaotic scene in one quick glance.
He saw his young wife sitting on the floor beside a smoking hot electrical iron.
He saw his faithful maid holding his small crying son tightly near the open door.
Richard: What is going on in here?
Richard: Why is there smoke in my son's private room?
Sarah: She brought a hot iron into the nursery to destroy the legal trust documents!
Sarah: She wanted to burn the mother's inheritance contract so the child gets nothing!
Richard turned his gaze slowly toward Victoria with an expression of complete disbelief.
Victoria: She is lying to you Richard!
Victoria: This crazy maid attacked me while I was just checking on the baby!
Sarah: Look at the table Mr. Sterling!
Sarah: The corner of the trust paper is already scorched black from that iron!
Richard walked over to the wooden side table with heavy measured steps across the floor.
He picked up the legal agreement and saw the dark burn mark across the seal.
The heat had melted the plastic folder and scorched the critical legal signatures beneath it.
Richard felt a wave of cold betrayal crash down upon his heavy pounding heart.
He looked at his new wife who was still kneeling on the expensive bedroom rug.
Richard: How could you do something so evil in my own family home?
Richard: You tried to sabotage my son's future for your own personal greed!
Victoria: Richard please listen to me for one second!
Victoria: I was only trying to protect our financial future together as a couple!
Richard: You are a greedy liar who stepped way too far over the line today!
Richard stepped forward and pointed a sharp firm finger toward the open room door.
His voice shook with immense anger as he looked down at the trembling woman.
Richard: Get out of my house right now!
Richard: You are going straight to prison for this malicious act of destruction!
Victoria gasped loudly as she realized her wealthy comfortable life was ending right now.
Victoria: No please forgive me Richard!
Victoria: I promise I will never set foot near the nursery ever again!
Richard: It is far too late for apologies or fake promises in this household!
