Sarah rushed across the grand foyer as fast as her feet could carry her.
She saw Victoria pulling Leo toward the dark stairwell near the carpeted main stairs.
Sarah: No! Leave him alone right now!
Sarah threw her arms forward and snatched the crying child safely into her embrace.
She dropped to her knees on the cold light marble floor to protect him with her body.
Leo buried his face against Sarah's beige shirt while trembling with sheer terror.
Sarah held him close against her chest and wrapped her arms tightly around his back.
She looked up with intense outrage at the brown dress lady standing above her.
Sarah: How could you treat a helpless baby like this?
Victoria: He is a burden to my future and does not deserve this fortune!
Victoria stepped forward aggressively and demanded that Sarah hand the child back over.
Victoria: Give him to me before I have you arrested for trespassing!
Sarah: You will have to go through me before you touch him again!
Victoria raised her hand to strike Sarah and throw her out of the front entrance.
Suddenly, the massive front double doors swung open with a sudden and heavy impact.
The cool afternoon air rushed into the bright hallway along with a tall silhouette.
David Vance stepped inside wearing his dark navy suit with his briefcase in hand.
His face turned dark with sudden shock as he witnessed the scene in his foyer.
David: What is going on here right now?
Victoria instantly changed her tone and dropped to her knees with fake tears in her eyes.
Victoria: David! Thank goodness you are home to save us!
She pointed a trembling finger at Sarah while putting on a dramatic act of fear.
Victoria: This crazy nanny tried to steal your legal documents and attack your son!
Sarah stood up slowly while keeping Leo securely cradled in her arms.
She looked directly into David's eyes with unwavering truth and courage.
Sarah: She is lying to you, Mr. Vance!
The dramatic tension in the room reached an absolute breaking point as everyone froze.
