The bright sun shone brightly over the huge estate in the quiet suburban hills of Georgia.
Elena adjusted her clean gray aprons while standing near the wide rose bushes in the yard.
She had worked as a housemaid for the wealthy Vance family for nearly three years.
Every single day, Elena took immense pride in doing her daily job with total care.
She loved little Toby, the ten-month-old baby boy who brought endless joy to the household.
His biological mother had passed away shortly after giving birth to the sweet innocent child.
David Vance was a famous rich businessman who drowned his grief in endless long workdays.
Six months ago, David married a beautiful young socialite named Victoria who loved luxury lifestyle.
Victoria never showed any real affection toward young Toby when David was away from home.
Elena frequently noticed how cool and distant Victoria acted around the precious little baby boy.
Victoria preferred spending her afternoons shopping online or talking on her expensive phone by the poolside.
On this warm afternoon, the air felt soft and heavy with the strong scent of blooming jasmine.
David was inside his private ground-floor home office finishing an urgent corporate video conference call.
Victoria walked out onto the paved pool deck wearing a sparkling golden silk gown.
She placed little Toby inside his soft stroller near the decorative stone edge of the pool.
Elena watched closely from the laundry patio while folding clean white cotton towels with care.
She felt a sudden wave of deep anxiety whenever Victoria left the stroller unattended near water.
Victoria checked her long shiny fingernails and glided over toward the far sun lounger chair.
Suddenly, a soft gust of wind blew across the open lawn toward the steep pool deck.
The heavy stroller began to roll slowly on its wheels directly toward the deep blue water.
Victoria saw the wheels moving, but she simply stood still and watched without moving a step.
Elena gasped in horror and dropped her laundry basket onto the green grass instantly.
She sprinted across the slippery marble tiles as fast as her legs could possibly carry her.
The stroller tipped forward over the edge into the shallow clear end of the big pool.
Elena jumped straight into the clear water without hesitating for even a single short second.
She scooped little Toby up into her strong arms before he submerged under the splash water.
The infant gasped and let out a loud, startled cry against Elena's wet shoulder instantly.
Elena lifted the safe child out of the water onto the warm poolside concrete tiles gently.
She held the crying child tightly, gasping for fresh air while soaking wet from head to toe.
Victoria suddenly let out a dramatic scream that echoed loudly across the open back courtyard.
