Julian Vance walked into the front foyer carrying his leather business briefcase.
He heard the loud commotion echoing from the upper grand landing above.
He looked up and saw his wife on the floor near the steps.
Sarah was standing beside the stroller with a paper in her hand.
Julian set his heavy leather briefcase down on the marble floor instantly.
He took the stairs two at a time with a face full of panic.
Elena quickly pulled herself up and began to weep loud dramatic tears.
She grabbed her green satin skirt and pointed down at the floor.
She claimed that Sarah had tried to push her toward the edge.
Julian reached the top landing out of breath and looked at both women.
He saw his baby son sitting calmly in the securely locked stroller.
Sarah did not raise her voice or show any sign of fear.
She held out the folded trust document directly toward her employer's hand.
Julian took the paper and recognized his own lawyer's legal stamp immediately.
He asked his wife why she had these papers upstairs near Leo.
Elena stumbled over her words as she tried to make up an excuse.
She claimed she was just moving the papers to his private study desk.
Sarah spoke up clearly and told Julian about the unlocked stroller brake.
She explained how the stroller was sitting right on the marble edge.
Julian looked down at the stroller wheels and then at the staircase.
He knew that Sarah had cared for Leo with total devotion always.
Elena reached out to touch Julian's arm in a desperate gesture now.
Julian pulled his arm back and stepped closer to his baby son.
He checked Leo quickly to make sure he was completely unharmed today.
The baby smiled up at his father and held out his toy.
Julian felt a wave of relief wash over his stressed chest instantly.
He turned back to face Elena with an expression of cold anger.
He demanded to know the complete truth about the legal paper signature.
Elena began to back away slowly toward the long bedroom corridor wall.
She realized that her influence over her wealthy husband was slipping fast.
Sarah stood quietly beside the stroller, protecting the child continuously throughout.
