David climbed out of the pool dripping wet and cold.
He held the sparkling diamond ring in his right palm.
The truth was now clear, heavy, and completely undisputed.
He walked inside the main glass doors of the mansion.
He did not bother to dry off or change clothes.
He marched up the grand marble staircase to his room.
He threw open the bedroom door with a loud thud.
Victoria sat up quickly in the large king bed.
She looked startled by his wet appearance and stern face.
Victoria: David! What are you doing jumping in now?
Victoria: You are tracking water all over our expensive rug!
David walked straight to the side of her bed.
He opened his wet hand and showed her the ring.
The diamond caught the yellow lamp light on the nightstand.
Victoria's face turned completely white in a single second.
David: I found this sitting next to the deep drain.
David: Care to explain how it got down there, Victoria?
Victoria swallowed hard and pulled the blanket up higher.
Victoria: It... it must have fallen off during the rescue!
Victoria: I told you I fought hard in the water!
David: Stop lying to me right now, Victoria.
David: I checked the security system logs half an hour ago.
David: Someone used my passkey to delete the pool video.
David: You were the only person in my office today.
Victoria began to tremble as her eyes filled with tears.
Victoria: David, please let me explain what happened!
Victoria: It was a total accident, I swear to you!
David: You put my newborn son in danger for this ring!
David: You blamed an innocent girl who saved his life!
Victoria: I panicked! I was afraid you would break up!
Victoria: You care so much about that stupid family heirloom!
David pointed his trembling finger toward the bedroom door.
David: Pack your clothes and leave my home this instant.
Victoria: You cannot throw me out in the middle of night!
David: You have ten minutes before I call the police.
Victoria knew from his voice that there was no mercy left.
