Richard: What did you just do to my child?!
Richard yelled his question with so much power that the glass windows rattled.
He charged across the marble floor toward the kneeling maid in total panic.
Elena looked up at her boss, her face covered in hot, flowing tears.
She pointed a shaking finger toward the top of the upper balcony railing.
Elena: Sir, please listen to me right now!
Elena: Your wife pushed the stroller over the edge!
Richard froze in his tracks, his eyes darting quickly up toward the balcony.
Victoria stood up near the railing, her face pale but full of cold anger.
Victoria: Shut up! Don't you dare say a word!
Victoria: She is a liar, Richard! She dropped him herself!
Elena shook her head frantically as she cradled the crying baby tightly.
Elena: I caught him! I dove to save his life!
Richard looked from the terrified maid to his wife standing up high.
He saw the clear panic and guilt written all over Victoria's stiff face.
A realization hit him hard, shattering his trust in his new marriage forever.
He remembered how Victoria had recently signed a massive life insurance policy for Leo.
He remembered how she complained about the baby getting in her way.
Pure rage surged through Richard's veins as the truth became crystal clear.
He turned away from Elena and sprinted toward the grand wrought-iron staircase.
His heavy dress shoes made a loud, rhythmic thud on each wooden step.
Victoria backed away from the balcony edge in absolute horror and surprise.
She realized her plan had failed completely and her husband knew everything now.
She turned to run toward the master bedroom to lock the heavy door.
But Richard reached the top landing before she could take three steps.
He grabbed her arm firmly, stopping her right in her tracks instantly.
