Richard marched out of the private office and back down the hallway.
Victoria rushed behind him, her heavy brown dress rustling furiously as she ran.
Several house staff members stood near the foyer, watching the heated argument.
The bright midday light shone directly onto the white marble floor below.
Richard pointed sternly down toward the front entrance doors of the mansion.
Richard: Pack your personal belongings and get out of my home immediately!
Victoria: You cannot throw your lawful wife out like a dog!
Richard: You put my little girl in immediate physical danger today!
Victoria: Nobody got hurt, Richard, why are you being so dramatic!
Richard: Because I caught you before your sick plan succeeded completely!
Maya stood near the top of the white stairs holding her nanny hand.
She looked down at the noisy argument with large, teary eyes.
Richard glanced up at his daughter and his heart burned with protection.
He stepped right into Victoria path to block her from the stairs.
Richard: Don't you ever walk up those stairs toward her again!
Victoria: I built a life in this house over two years!
Richard: You built a house of lies and greed on my family!
Victoria tried to brush past him to grab her coat from the closet.
Richard stepped firmly in front of her, pointing his hand at the door.
His voice echoed loudly throughout the massive high-ceilinged mansion foyer entrance.
Richard: Get out now before the police escort you out in handcuffs!
Victoria: You will regret this when my divorce lawyers call you!
Richard: My lawyers are already preparing the annulment and police report!
Victoria looked around at the staff members who were staring with disdain.
She realized she had lost all leverage and power in this house.
Her face twisted with bitter anger as her master plan collapsed entirely.
Victoria: You think you are so perfect with your precious fortune!
Richard: I protect the people I love from snakes like you!
She grabbed her leather purse from the floor and turned toward the door.
The heavy front doors of the mansion were opened wide by security.
She walked out into the bright sunlight, leaving her luxury life behind.
Richard took a deep breath, feeling a massive weight lift away.
The dangerous presence in their home was finally gone for good.
