Two weeks passed quickly as the sun shone brightly over the grand Sterling estate once more.
The dark cloud that hovered over the home was completely gone thanks to Elena's bravery.
Victoria was held without bail while the court prepared severe criminal charges against her.
Mark had already filed full divorce papers and revoked all her access to his fortune.
He sat at his large dark wooden desk inside the primary home office on Friday morning.
Elena knocked softly on the open door frame while carrying a clean tray of tea.
Mark: Come in, Elena. Please, set the tray down and take a seat.
Elena set the porcelain tea set on the table and sat down in the leather chair.
Mark: I have made some big decisions about the future of this household today.
He pushed an official legal document across the clean wooden desk toward her.
Mark: I want to offer you the position of head household manager with double pay.
Elena looked down at the document in complete disbelief and gasped softly.
Elena: Mr. Sterling, I... I do not know what to say to this generous offer.
Mark: You proved that you care about my family's safety more than anyone else.
Baby Leo cooed happily from his playpen in the corner of the bright office room.
Mark: You are family to us now, Elena. We need you here with us.
Elena felt warm tears of joy welling up in her eyes as she smiled brightly.
Elena: I would be honored to stay and take care of little Leo, sir.
Justice had been served, and a sweet innocent baby was safe in loving hands forever.
