The large double glass entrance doors swung wide open with a dramatic bang.
A handsome, silver-haired man in a tailored dark gray suit charged into the hall.
It was Richard Vance, who had returned early from his corporate downtown meeting.
He stopped dead in his tracks as he witnessed the chaotic scene before him.
His eyes took in his wife pulling fiercely on his tearful house maid.
He saw his infant son crying inside the wrapped light blue blanket bundle.
Richard: What on earth is happening in my home right now?!
His powerful voice echoed off the white marble walls like thunder.
Victoria instantly froze and dropped her hands away from Elena's blue uniform.
She quickly smoothed down her green silk gown, trying to look composed.
Elena looked up from the floor, tears streaming freely down her red cheeks.
Elena: Sir! She tried to harm your baby!
Richard's eyes widened in profound shock and absolute horror at those words.
He stepped deeper into the grand foyer, his leather shoes clicking sharply.
Victoria rushed toward Richard with her arms outstretched, putting on an act.
Victoria: Wait! Listen to me, darling!
Richard: Do not come near me right now!
Victoria put her hands over her chest, trying to force tearful emotions.
Victoria: The maid dropped the baby and is trying to blame me!
Elena: That is a complete lie, Mr. Vance!
Victoria: She is trying to ruin our marriage and steal your money!
Richard looked from his nervous wife down to the trembling maid on the floor.
He noticed the scuff marks on Elena's knees from sliding on the marble.
He also saw the bright security camera mounted right above the giant flag.
Victoria had forgotten that Richard installed high-definition security cameras in every room.
Richard: Shut your mouth right now, Victoria!
Victoria took a quick step back, surprised by his fierce tone.
Victoria: Richard, how can you speak to your wife like that?
Richard: I am filing for divorce this very afternoon!
Victoria gasped loudly, her hand flying up to cover her open mouth.
Victoria: You cannot divorce me over a maid's lie!
Richard: We are going to check the security footage right now!
