Elena carried the baby upstairs into the nursery and locked the wooden door firmly behind her.
She placed the little boy safely in his soft crib and gave him a wooden toy to hold.
Her hands were still shaking from the intense argument in the hallway downstairs.
She knew that Victoria was dangerous and would do anything to protect her secret.
Elena sat down at the small rocking chair and pulled up her phone settings.
She backed up the recorded video clip directly into a secure cloud storage account.
She wanted to ensure that even if Victoria stole the phone, the evidence remained safe.
While reviewing the video footage, Elena noticed something unexpected in the background frames.
The open drawer of Arthur's private desk was visible in the corner of the frame.
Victoria had been shuffling through Arthur's legal estate documents just minutes before the argument.
Elena remembered that Arthur was currently dealing with a massive business settlement and will update.
Victoria had frequently asked Arthur about the life insurance policies and property deeds lately.
Elena realized that Victoria was not just cruel; she had an ulterior motive for marrying Arthur.
She wanted full control over the family fortune without any heirs standing in her way.
Elena's mind raced as she put all the pieces of the puzzle together.
Suddenly, she heard heavy footsteps moving quickly up the carpeted staircase outside the room.
Someone rattled the handle of the nursery door with force, trying to push it open.
Victoria: Open this door right now, Elena!
Elena: I am staying right here with the baby until Arthur comes home!
Victoria: You think you are so clever, but you know nothing about this family!
Elena: I know enough to keep this child safe from you!
Victoria kicked the door once in anger before her high heels clicked away down the hallway.
Elena let out a long breath and looked over at the sleeping baby boy in the crib.
She checked the clock on the wall and saw that Arthur was scheduled to return in one hour.
Every minute felt like an eternity as she waited in the quiet room for his car to arrive.
