A second household maid wearing a black dress uniform approached the scene quickly.
Her name was Maria and she had worked for the family for over ten years.
Maria knelt gently down on the marble floor next to the shaken Sarah.
She reached out her warm hands to take the crying baby into her own arms.
Maria assured Sarah that she would take young baby Leo straight up to his nursery.
Sarah handed the swaddled child over carefully while taking a deep breath of relief.
Maria cradled baby Leo softly and rocked him back and forth to calm his tears.
Arthur watched his young son settle down safely in the trusted senior maid's care.
He turned back toward Elena with total finality in his stern facial expression.
Arthur called his personal security team through the wall intercom near the main door.
Two large guards in navy uniforms arrived quickly into the bright foyer area.
Arthur commanded the security men to escort Elena off the estate grounds immediately.
Elena cried out as the guards guided her toward the heavy front entrance doors.
She looked back one last time at the grand home she had lost through her greed.
The heavy front doors slammed shut behind her with a sound that signaled the end.
The large foyer grew quiet once again under the bright morning sunlight above.
Arthur turned his full attention toward Sarah who was still sitting on the floor.
He walked over and offered his right hand to help the brave young maid stand up.
Sarah accepted his hand and stood up while smoothing down her simple gray uniform dress.
Arthur looked into her eyes with deep gratitude that went far beyond mere words.
