The heavy oak double front doors suddenly shook with a sudden massive loud bang outside.
Victoria turned her head quickly with a look of deep surprise across her face.
Julian stepped back toward the library door while gripping his leather binder much tighter.
The massive front entry doors swung open wide against the tall formal marble walls.
Mark stepped inside the bright foyer dressed in a sharp black business tailored suit.
Four heavy uniformed security officers followed closely right behind his fast confident steps.
Mark spotted his little girl kneeling in cold water on the hard white marble floor.
His face turned red with absolute fury as he saw her trembling hands and sponge.
Mark rushed across the vast glossy room without saying a single word to anyone.
He dropped directly to his knees on the wet tile right beside his child.
Mark wrapped his strong arms around Lily and lifted her up into his chest.
Mark: I have got you safe, my sweet princess.
Lily buried her small wet face into her father's soft black wool suit jacket.
Lily: Daddy, you came back home for me!
Mark held her close against his beating heart while stroking her damp light hair.
Mark: I am never leaving you alone with these terrible people ever again, sweetheart.
He stood up slowly while holding Lily securely within his powerful protective arm embrace.
Mark turned his head around and glared directly into Victoria's startled wide eyes.
Mark: She does not scrub floors for you or anyone else in this house!
Victoria stepped back against the marble wall and swallowed hard in sudden fear.
Victoria: Mark, you came back from your Texas business trip much earlier than expected.
Mark took a firm step toward her while keeping Lily safe in his arms.
Mark: I came back because my private investigator called me about your cruel actions.
Victoria pointed an index finger toward the floor while trying to look completely confident.
Victoria: I was only teaching your daughter proper discipline and personal house responsibility.
Mark's voice boomed across the tall grand foyer like thunder rolling over the estate.
Mark: You were abusing my innocent daughter and taking advantage of my absolute trust!
Julian stepped forward aggressively from the back hallway toward Mark's left side position.
He raised his right arm and pointed his finger threateningly at Mark's angry face.
Julian: Stay out of this personal family discipline matter right now, Mark!
Mark turned his head slowly toward Julian with cold piercing blue eyes of steel.
Julian: You signed over full household management rights to Victoria yesterday afternoon!
Mark squeezed his fists tight as his security team moved closer into the hallway.
Mark: That document was a complete fake generated by your corrupt legal law office!
Julian stepped even closer while puffing out his chest inside his suit jacket.
Julian: You cannot prove anything against us in a court of law, Mark!
Lily held onto her father's coat collar tightly while looking at the scary lawyer.
Lily: Daddy, he put bad papers on your desk yesterday morning while you slept.
Mark looked down at his daughter and smiled softly before facing the corrupt lawyer.
Mark: Children see everything that happens in a home, Julian.
Julian's face went completely pale as he realized his massive mistake right then.
He backed away toward the open front entrance door hoping to escape outside fast.
Mark handed Lily safely over to the head security guard standing right beside him.
Mark: Keep my daughter safe inside the living room until I handle this business.
nearby security guard nodded quickly and carried Lily away from the main hallway area.
Mark turned back around to face Julian with absolute determination in his heart.
