Arthur Sterling stood in the open doorway, framed by the bright morning sun outside the estate.
He had forgotten his legal portfolio on his office desk and had returned home to retrieve it.
The sight before him froze the powerful billionaire completely in his tracks with total shock.
His wife was violently pulling at the uniform of his crying maid on the floor.
Elena was curled up on the marble, holding little Leo defensively in her arms.
A wave of unadulterated rage washed over Arthur's face as he took in the shocking scene.
Arthur: What on earth is happening in my home right now?!
His booming voice echoed off the high marble walls like a sudden clap of thunder.
Victoria instantly released her grip on Elena's collar and took two quick steps backward in panic.
She tried to smooth down her emerald gown, forcing a sickly sweet smile onto her face.
Victoria: Darling, thank goodness you are home early, this crazy maid went completely insane!
Elena: Mr. Sterling, please listen to me, she tried to toss your baby over the railing!
Tears of pure relief streamed down Elena's bruised cheeks as she looked up at her boss.
Arthur's eyes widened in absolute horror as he looked at his trembling, tearful young son.
He stepped forward with heavy, angry strides, passing the massive American flag in the hallway.
Victoria: Wait, Arthur, listen to me, she is lying to protect her own awful mistake!
Arthur: Do not dare say another word to me until I look at the security footage!
Arthur marched over to the main security panel built subtly into the mahogany wall near the entrance.
He typed in his master security code with furious, precise taps on the glowing touchscreen.
The wall monitor instantly flared to life, showing crystal-clear HD footage of the upper balcony landing.
Arthur watched in sickening horror as the video clearly showed Victoria holding Leo over the drop.
He saw Elena's brave, frantic dive across the marble floor to rescue the innocent child in time.
Every single detail of Victoria's heartless cruelty was captured clearly on the high-definition cameras.
Arthur turned around slowly, his face drained of all color, replaced by cold, freezing fury.
Arthur: You monstrous creature, how could you ever do something so evil to a baby?
Victoria: Arthur, please, I was just stressed, I would never actually hurt your son!
Arthur: I am divorcing you today, and you are going straight to federal prison forever!
Victoria let out a shocked scream as Arthur pointed his finger sternly toward the open front door.
Victoria: You cannot do this to me, I am your lawful wife under the law!
Arthur: You are nothing to me now, and you will never receive a single penny again!
