Elena wiped the polished marble floor of the grand entrance hall.
The morning light streamed through the massive glass windows of the estate.
She had worked for the Vance family for nearly three years.
It was a quiet job, but the tension in the house was growing.
Mark Vance was a busy property developer who spent long hours at work.
His wife Chloe preferred an expensive lifestyle and constant social events.
Elena kept her head down and focused on her daily cleaning chores.
Suddenly, a loud metallic scrape echoed from the upper floor balcony.
Elena looked up toward the second floor landing immediately.
Chloe Vance stood by the decorative iron railing with a harsh expression.
She held the handle of a dark navy blue baby stroller.
Without a word of warning, Chloe shoved the heavy stroller forward.
It tipped over the top bar of the marble balcony.
Elena let out a sharp gasp and dropped her cleaning cloth.
She sprinted across the polished floor without thinking twice.
The stroller hurtled downward toward the hard floor below.
Elena dove across the hall with her arms stretched wide open.
She slid across the smooth tile just as the wheels came down.
Her hands grabbed the frame tightly before it smashed into pieces.
The heavy frame knocked against her ribs with a dull thud.
Elena panted heavily while holding the stroller flat on the floor.
Just then, the grand front doors swung wide open with a bang.
Mark stepped into the foyer carrying his leather business briefcase.
He froze near the doorway as he saw the chaotic scene.
His face turned pale when he recognized the navy baby stroller.
Mark: What did you just do to my child?!
Elena: Sir, please listen! Your wife pushed it!
Chloe: Shut up! Don't you dare say a word!
Chloe hurried down the grand staircase while shouting at the top of her voice.
Mark glared at Elena with intense disbelief and anger.
Elena held her ground despite her trembling hands.
She unbuckled the padded cover of the stroller right away.
Mark rushed over and looked directly inside the baby carrier.
