The dark-suited security guards stood ready near the bottom of the grand marble staircase.
Adrian glared at Victoria with eyes that burned like cold, hard steel.
Victoria tried to smooth her blue dress while taking another nervous step back.
Victoria: It was an absolute mistake!
Adrian shook his head in disgust as he stared at the woman he trusted.
Adrian: You almost destroyed my family!
Elena carefully lifted baby Noah out of the stroller and held him close.
The little baby babbled softly, completely unaware of the intense dramatic scene nearby.
Lily walked over to Elena and gently patted the baby's small soft back.
Adrian stepped even closer to Victoria until he towered directly over her.
Adrian: Get out of my house!
Victoria looked around the huge mansion foyer in complete, helpless desperation.
She realized her plan to frame the honest maid had utterly and completely failed.
Victoria: You cannot throw me out!
Adrian turned his head toward the two tall security guards standing near the entrance.
Adrian: Escort her off my property now!
The guards stepped forward immediately and took positions on either side of Victoria.
Victoria gasped loudly as one guard firmly gestured toward the open double doors.
Victoria: You will regret this, Adrian!
She turned on her heel and stomped angrily down the wide white stairs.
Her loud high heels clattered against the hard marble floor in a fast rhythm.
The security guards followed her closely until she walked out into the bright driveway.
The heavy front wooden doors slammed shut with a deep, echoing sound behind her.
The vast hallway suddenly felt quiet and peaceful for the first time that morning.
Adrian took a deep breath to calm his racing, pounding heart.
He turned around slowly to face Elena, who was still standing near the stroller.
His face softened completely as he realized how terribly he had treated her moments ago.
He walked over to Elena with slow, heavy steps filled with deep regret.
Lily looked up at her father with serious eyes while holding her smartphone safe.
Lily: Elena saved Noah, Dad.
Adrian nodded slowly as shame washed over his tight, exhausted face.
He knew he owed the brave young maid an honest and complete apology right now.
