Arthur walked toward the grand staircase with his leather briefcase ready.
He stopped suddenly when he heard loud shouting down the long corridor.
The sound of his baby crying filled the pristine marble hallway.
Arthur rushed toward the corner, his jaw clenched tightly with worry.
He saw Elena standing protectively between Victoria and little baby Leo.
Victoria was breathing heavily, her red silk blouse wrinkled from anger.
Arthur asked sternly what was happening inside his quiet luxury home.
Victoria quickly changed her expression, putting on a worried, sweet face.
She claimed that Elena had tripped and nearly dropped the poor baby.
She insisted that she was only trying to rescue the small child.
Elena shook her head firmly, refusing to accept the wicked lie.
Elena: That is not what happened at all, sir.
Victoria: Silence!
Victoria: How dare you speak to my husband like that!
Elena: Mr. Sterling, please review the security camera footage right now.
Arthur looked up at the ceiling camera glowing red above them.
He felt a terrible pit form inside his churning stomach instantly.
He loved his new wife, but he cared for his son more.
He noticed that Leo was trembling while reaching out for Elena.
The baby clearly trusted the humble maid far more than Victoria.
Arthur asked Victoria why the baby was shrinking away from her.
Victoria laughed nervously and blamed the baby’s tired, cranky mood.
She suggested firing Elena on the spot for disrespecting the family.
Arthur held up his hand, stopping Victoria from saying another word.
He told both women to follow him directly to his study.
The private study contained the main monitor connected to all security feed.
Victoria hesitated, taking a step backward toward the main front door.
She insisted that Arthur was late for his vital corporate meeting.
Arthur stated clearly that his family was far more important today.
He took little Leo gently into his arms and comforted him.
The baby rested his small head against Arthur’s dark blue jacket.
Elena followed behind them with her hands clasped tightly together.
She knew this moment would change everything inside the Sterling house.
Victoria pulled out her expensive phone, trying to make an excuse.
She claimed her mother was sick and she needed to leave.
Arthur locked the heavy wooden door of the study behind them.
He turned on the large desktop screen to access video files.
The room became completely quiet as the video loaded up quickly.
