Elena scooped little Toby securely into her arms and held him very close.
The frightened boy buried his small face directly into her warm cotton shoulder.
Sarah took a menacing step forward, her face turning bright red with anger.
Sarah: Hand that screaming child back to me this instant, Elena!
Elena: I am keeping him safe from your terrible temper right now.
Sarah: You are just a paid servant in this giant private home!
Elena: My job is protecting this innocent baby from any real harm.
Sarah pointed a long fingernail directly at Elena's pale tired face.
Sarah: If you say a single word to Mark, you will regret it!
Elena: The truth always comes out no matter how hard you hide.
Sarah turned around furiously and slammed the heavy oak door behind her back.
Elena quickly carried baby Toby back into his quiet room to comfort him.
Her hands were shaking violently as she gently rocked the crying toddler back and forth.
She knew that simple accusations would never be enough to convince Mark Reynolds.
Mark trusted his new wife completely and gave her full control over everything.
Luckily, Elena had installed a small camera application on her personal mobile phone.
She had set up the discreet device on the hallway shelf weeks ago.
She placed Toby safely into his soft crib and grabbed her small phone.
Her trembling fingers quickly opened the stored media folder on the screen.
The video clip played clearly, showing Sarah grabbing the poor child harshly.
Elena saved the crucial video file into a safe cloud storage account immediately.
She heard heavy automotive engines rumbling outside on the paved driveway below.
Mark Reynolds had returned home earlier than expected from his long business flight.
Elena took a deep breath and prepared herself to face the coming storm.
