Elena lifted the small swaddled baby high over the marble balcony railing above.
She released her soft grip and let the helpless child fall toward the hard floor.
A sharp gasp escaped Sarah's throat as she moved without thinking twice.
She sprinted fast across the slippery floor with her arms outstretched in desperation.
Her soft shoes made rapid tapping sounds against the cold polished marble surface.
The bright daylight caught the white blanket falling fast through the middle air.
Sarah knew she only had a split second to save the young heir's life.
She threw her body forward into a hard dive across the wide open foyer space.
Her hands slid beneath the falling blanket just inches above the hard white floor.
Sarah slammed onto the marble surface with a loud dull thud that hurt her shoulder.
She gathered baby Leo tightly against her chest to cushion his soft body.
The baby began to cry loudly with a sharp sound that echoed through the home.
Sarah sat up slowly on the cold floor while holding the child securely in her arms.
Tears of deep relief ran down Sarah's pale cheeks as she checked his small hands.
She whispered sweet words to calm the crying child who was safe from harm.
High above on the balcony Elena stared down in pure horror and extreme panic.
She had not expected the young gray uniform maid to run that quickly across the room.
Elena's hands began to shake violently as she realized her plan had failed completely.
She backed away from the white railing while looking for an easy escape route.
Sarah held the baby tight while looking up at the spot where Elena stood freezing.
The foyer doors suddenly burst open with a loud crashing sound that shook the walls.
Arthur Sterling stepped inside the mansion carrying his leather work briefcase.
