The quiet night air around the vast estate was broken by a sudden splash.
Elena stood frozen by the edge of the clear blue swimming pool.
She had worked as a housekeeper for the wealthy Sterling family for three long years.
Her hands were shaking as water droplets splattered across her grey uniform.
Just seconds ago, she saw the rich fiancee push the young heir into the water.
Julian Sterling was trapped in his heavy mechanical wheelchair with a broken leg.
He could not swim or kick his feet to reach the warm surface above.
Elena did not hesitate for even a single second before jumping into the pool.
She kicked her feet hard and dove straight toward the dark bottom of the water.
Her lungs burned as she reached for the sinking wheelchair and the helpless young man.
Elena: Hold on to me!
She pulled Julian out of the seat with all the remaining strength in her arms.
Together they broke through the surface of the pool and gasped heavily for fresh air.
Julian coughed up water while clinging tightly to Elena's soaked grey uniform shoulder.
Julian: I could not reach the brake...
Elena: You are safe now, just breathe slowly.
The patio doors slammed open with a loud bang that echoed across the lawn.
Arthur Sterling ran out of the mansion with a look of pure terror on his face.
He was the wealthy patriarch who owned the entire real estate empire and high estate.
Victoria, his son's glamorous blonde fiancee, was already screaming loudly at the top of her lungs.
She pointed her long golden fingernails directly at the soaking wet maid in the water.
Victoria: I saved him! She pushed him in!
Elena stared in absolute shock at the handsome woman in the green silk dress.
Elena: You are lying to his father!
Arthur dropped to his knees at the tiled edge of the deep pool.
He reached his strong arms down into the water to grab his shaking son.
Arthur: This is my son!
He pulled Julian out of the pool and laid him flat on the concrete surface.
Victoria rushed over and put her hands over her face while pretending to cry soft tears.
Victoria: She snapped and pushed his chair right into the deep end, Arthur!
Victoria: I tried to grab the handles but I was simply too late!
Elena pulled herself up out of the water and stood on the wet tiles.
Water dripped continuously from her hair onto the bright patio ground below her feet.
Elena: She tried to kill your son!
Arthur looked up with an angry scowl on his weathered face.
Arthur: What are you pointing at?
Arthur: How dare you accuse my family after what just happened here tonight!
Elena wiped the cold pool water from her eyes and held her ground firmly.
Elena: Check the garden wall right above your head, Mr. Sterling.
Arthur turned his eyes toward the thick green vines crawling up the tall wall.
A hidden black CCTV security camera was mounted quietly among the dark leaves.
Its small red light was blinking steadily in the dark night air.
