Victoria stood near the grand marble staircase on a bright afternoon.
She wore a bright green gown that trailed along the shiny floor.
She looked down at the grey baby stroller sitting near the top edge.
Inside the stroller, little baby Leo was sleeping very peacefully indeed.
Victoria gripped the handle tightly while looking around the massive atrium space.
She thought she was entirely alone in the high-ceilinged mansion foyer.
Elena was downstairs wiping down the gleaming marble dining table carefully.
She heard the soft clattering sound of stroller wheels up above her.
Elena stopped working and stepped softly toward the bottom staircase area.
She saw Victoria slowly pushing the grey stroller toward the steep step edge.
Elena's heart dropped instantly as she realized what was about to happen.
Victoria gave the stroller a sudden, firm push toward the marble stairs.
The heavy stroller began rolling dangerously fast toward the long drop.
Elena did not hesitate for even a single second down below.
She ran across the slippery floor and slid directly on her knees.
The grey stroller bounced down two steps before Elena caught it firmly.
She pulled the stroller back safely onto the flat main foyer floor.
Baby Leo began crying loudly from the harsh shaking and noise.
Elena held the stroller tight and wrapped her arms around the baby.
Elena: You're safe now, baby... it's okay.
Elena looked up at the top of the stairs with fire in her eyes.
Victoria stood at the top looking pale and noticeably shaken up.
Elena pointed her finger directly at the wealthy stepmother above her.
Elena: She tried to hurt the baby!
Victoria quickly put her hands over her face and started to sob fake tears.
Victoria: It was an accident! I didn't mean to!
Just then, heavy footsteps echoed through the front entrance doorway area.
Richard rushed into the room wearing his dark charcoal suit coat.
Richard: What is going on here?!
He looked at the maid kneeling beside the crying baby stroller.
Then he looked up at his emotional wife standing on the staircase.
The peace in the mansion was completely broken in an instant.
