Victoria ordered Clara to pack her personal bags and leave immediately.
Clara refused to leave little Leo alone with such a cruel woman.
She ran upstairs toward the main nursery room near the staircase balcony.
Leo was crying loudly inside his white crib from all the noise.
Clara lifted the crying baby securely wrapped in his soft blanket.
Victoria blocked the narrow doorway with her hands resting on her hips.
She demanded that Clara hand over the boy before step-father Ethan returned.
Clara held the baby tighter and stepped backward toward the open balcony.
Victoria lunged forward to grab the blanket out of Clara's safe arms.
Clara tripped slightly on the thick carpet and nearly lost her balance.
She dropped to her knees on the bright white marble floor dramatically.
The baby screamed hysterically as the sudden motion startled his sensitive ears.
Clara shielded the young boy with her body on the polished stone.
Victoria laughed loudly and threw her arms up near the balcony railing.
She shouted that Clara was careless and endangered the small child.
Clara looked up with tears in her eyes and yelled in pure horror.
She shouted that Victoria was completely insane and extremely dangerous.
The heavy front doors unlocked and opened downstairs with a loud thud.
Footsteps echoed across the bright foyer as heavy boots hit the floor.
Help had finally arrived just in the nick of time.
