Two uniformed officers walked through the garden gates toward the pool.
They placed shiny steel handcuffs around Elena's slender gold wrists.
Elena kept yelling loudly as they led her down the stone driveway.
Elena: You will pay for this, all of you!
The heavy iron gates clicked shut behind the noisy police cruisers.
Silence returned to the large estate garden by the blue water.
Arthur Sterling walked over to Maya with a warm blanket in hand.
He wrapped the warm dry blanket gently over her shaking shoulders.
Arthur Sterling: You saved my father's documents at great personal risk.
Maya: I just wanted to do what was right, sir.
Arthur Sterling: You showed more bravery tonight than anyone else here.
Detective Vance handed the dry documents back to the elderly owner.
Detective Vance: Maya saved the trust papers before water seeped through.
Arthur nodded his head with deep appreciation and respect for Maya.
Arthur Sterling: My fake wife tried to framing you to save herself.
Arthur Sterling: Tomorrow morning, you are no longer working as a maid.
Maya looked up in surprise with bright tears in her eyes.
Maya: What do you mean, Mr. Sterling?
Arthur Sterling: I am promoting you to manage my entire family estate.
Arthur Sterling: You will receive a full salary and a brand new house.
Maya smiled warmly through her lingering tears of relief and joy.
She knew her younger sister would finally have a secure future.
Truth and honesty had won against greed and deceit that night.
