Julian pulled his car into the front courtyard and turned off the powerful smooth engine.
He walked up the grand stone steps, expecting to find a quiet and peaceful house inside.
As he reached for the brass handle, he heard muffled shouting echoing through the thick wooden doors.
His heart skipped a beat as he recognized the high voice of his wife echoing inside.
Julian opened the double front doors wide, letting the intense daylight stream across the checkered marble floor.
The scene before his eyes made his blood run cold in a fraction of a second.
His young wife was standing over the weeping maid, her face twisted in pure anger and hatred.
Elena was crouching on the cold floor with a visible bruise forming rapidly on her red face.
Baby Leo was sitting on the polished tiles next to her, weeping loudly with tears streaming down.
Julian dropped his heavy leather briefcase onto the floor with a loud crashing sound that echoed everywhere.
He sprinted across the foyer with fast running footsteps, his eyes fixed entirely on his small son.
He dropped to his knees instantly on the hard marble floor to check on the crying baby.
Julian lifted the baby up against his chest and checked his arms and legs for any injuries.
Julian: Oh my god! Are you okay, my sweet little boy?
Victoria: Julian! You came back so early! It is not what it looks like, darling!
Julian: What is going on here?! Why is my son screaming like this?!
Elena: She hurts the child's spirit every time you leave this house, Mr. Vance!
Victoria gasped loudly and took a step back, her eyes wide with sudden panic and fear.
She tried to put on a sweet smile, but her trembling hands gave away her extreme nervous panic.
Victoria: Do not listen to this crazy woman, Julian! She dropped the baby herself and blamed me!
Elena: That is a complete lie! She shoved me because I stopped her from pulling Leo!
Julian: Elena has worked for my family for five years and never told a single lie!
Julian's face twisted into an expression of extreme, blinding rage and fury as he stood up slowly.
He handed the crying toddler gently into Elena's shaking arms to keep him completely safe now.
The tall billionaire turned toward his wife, towering over her with an intensity she had never seen.
The bright foyer felt suddenly freezing cold as the terrible truth began to settle inside his mind.
