Julian led Elena down to his quiet private office on the lower floor.
He pulled out a heavy leather chair and asked Elena to sit down.
The baby had fallen asleep peacefully inside Elena warm gentle arms now.
Julian walked behind his grand oak desk and unlocked the top center drawer.
He pulled out a stack of crisp white legal documents tied with string.
Julian: I found these legal papers inside her desk late last night.
Elena: What do these papers mean for the baby, sir?
Julian: Victoria planned to sign away custody to an outside stranger.
Elena gasped softly as she held the sleeping boy a little closer.
The documents showed that Victoria was not the true loving mother after all.
She had entered the marriage only to gain control of the estate.
A full trust fund worth millions had been set up for the child.
Victoria wanted the money without the responsibility of raising a small baby.
Julian looked at the papers with a furious look across his tight face.
Julian: She lied to me about everything since the very beginning.
Elena: You must protect his future and his safety right now.
Julian: I will make sure she leaves this house without one dime.
The heavy door of the office suddenly creaked open from the outside.
Victoria stood in the doorway with her matching designer suitcase held tightly.
She looked down at the legal papers sitting on top the desk.
Her cold eyes filled with rage when she realized she was caught.
Victoria: You cannot prove any of those false accusations against me!
Julian: My lawyer is already on his way to this house.
Victoria took a quick step into the room to grab the paper.
Julian stepped forward instantly and stood firmly in her direct path.
The tension in the quiet office was thicker than heavy dark smoke.
Elena held her breath while keeping the newborn baby safe behind Julian.
