Victoria gasped as the security guards moved into position, blocking the main exit of the house.
She realized that her comfortable life of luxury and status was quickly falling apart around her.
She turned back to Arthur, her fake smile gone completely, replaced by bitter anger.
Victoria: You are making a huge mistake listening to a servant, Arthur!
Arthur: The only mistake I made was bringing you into my son's life.
He carefully handed little Leo over to a trusted older nanny who had just entered the room.
Once his hands were free, Arthur stepped up until he was standing right in front of Victoria.
His large frame towered over her, his hands clenched tightly into fists at his sides.
Arthur: How dare you touch my child!
The words slammed through the quiet room like a heavy weight dropping onto the floor.
Victoria flinched backward, her voice trembling for the very first time since he walked in.
Victoria: I was only trying to discipline him! He needs to learn proper manners!
Arthur: He is a baby, Victoria! He is an innocent child!
Elena watched from the floor as Arthur finally saw his wife for who she really was.
She knew that Victoria had only married Arthur for the massive trust fund and the title.
She had overheard Victoria talking on the phone with a lawyer just three days ago.
Victoria was trying to figure out how to gain sole legal custody if anything happened to Arthur.
Elena stood up slowly, holding onto the wall to keep her balance while she spoke up again.
Elena: Check the cameras in the hallway, Mr. Sterling.
Elena: She turned off the main feeds, but the backup security system stores everything on a private drive.
Victoria turned her head sharply toward Elena, her eyes filled with absolute shock.
She had not realized that the estate had a secondary security system running in the background.
Arthur looked at his chief security officer and gave a quick, sharp nod of his head.
Arthur: Pull up the files on my phone right now.
